Awkward to pour, and it doesn't retain heat very well.

Keeps coffee hot, brew threw lid works perfectly, handle is ergonomically sound.

I purchased this for a Curtis low-profile 640z pour over coffee brewer. This thermal vacuum insulated carafe definitely does a good job of keeping the coffee hot for an extended period of time compared to a traditional glass carafe. The lid is easy to take on and off once I figured it out. I like that it doesn't drip unlike my last coffee maker which was cheapy residential grade brand. Note that it must be washed by hand and without use of strong detergents containing chlorine (like bleach and scouring powder). You are supposed to use coffee brewer cleaner filter pouches or tablets, which you set inside the brewer basket and it cleans the pot by brewing a cycle and then rinsing it. There are also specially formulated liquid cleaners just for carafes that you can also use including a brush which fits inside these carafes. This is a durable commercial grade coffee carafe and I recommend it.

I suspect that a lot of the questions I see online inquiring about models it fits and size are trying to do what I wanted to do / did, which is replace a glass decanter in a traditional maker with a warming plate.

I have a WC simple pourover that uses a single warming plate. I usually take my coffee over 4-6 hours and I don't like warmed coffee - it "boils down" and gets acidic. Microwaving works better, but its still not perfect.

For years I worked at a place that had a brew through pourpot, and it kept the coffee hot and fresh for hours. I wanted that at home.

After reading over and over and over the dimensions and playing with a tape measure and hemming and hawing, I finally bought one of these. And it JUST barely fits. As others have noted, its 7" tall. Maybe even 7 1/64. My glass decanter was around 6 1/2", so it was

On my maker with an OE WC plastic filter baske, the 7" pourpot JUST fits. Some other filter baskets like the metal or Bunn might not fit. Its so tight, you actually have to set the pourpot on first, then slide in the filter basket. I could potentially file away some of the drip nozzle and the feet on the filter basket, but I like the feet as they are so I won't be making any mods. I could also possible remove the warming plate and replace it with a sheet of stainless. That's more likely to happen.

Either way, I'm happy. It keeps the coffee warm for hours like I expected. Even at 12 hours its still warm to the touch.

These pots are magnificent! I am SO glad that we ordered them for special Events at our church -- they look so much nicer than some of the other options available/on the market. They are heavy, easy to care for, convenient for direct brewing, etc.
