I cut out the middle man with a Zojirushi coffeemaker that brews right into a vacuum-walled carafe. No hotplate to burn the coffee or sizzle the drips when you remove the carafe; brewed coffee stays hot and fresh for hours; can bring the pot to the breakfast table without it going cold.

Thermal carafes are fantastic, I really don't get why they aren't the default. I got one in college because it seemed like the obvious choice, and it was SO much better than I expected. I'll never buy a glass one again.

They're not fragile, the coffee stays just as hot for at least 4 hours if not much longer, and because "effective insulation" means "doesn't exchange much air" it also keeps it from oxidizing as quickly.

You can buy that Zojirushi and a whole pound of good beans for less than the price of the "winner" in this advertorial.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the obvious, the linked article is an infomercial. Glad somebody else pointed it out.

Please recommend a better article! This was the least-bad one that I could find on the topic, after my unsuccessful search for a blog with tests based on science.
