IDEUS Thermal Coffee Carafe 68oz, Beverage Dispenser Navy Blue

I will preface this with, in our household a carafe for coffee is an ESSENTIAL item. We drink french press coffee and a lot of it. We absolutely need a carafe to keep our coffee at peak performance! It finally came time to replace the German manufactured carafe we have been using for 10+ years. I read some of the complaints before we purchased this and wanted to share our experience. First of all, the fit and finish on this carafe is spot on. Overall the design is aesthetically pleasing. I chose the black and silver model. It appears to be powder coated and is definitely scratch resistant. The lid fits firmly with little to no wiggle and gaps. It is most definitely a VACUUM carafe. You do have to tilt to 90° to pour, but don't see this as a problem. The push button to pour, located on the handle, functions exactly as it should. This feature was a major deciding factor in the purchase (as well as it's size). It holds 68 ounces, as labeled. As for holding temperature, we ran a test on it. Here are the results: 175.2° F @ start 168.1° F @ 1 hour 156.3° F @ 2 hours 146.1° F @ 4 hours 131.5° F @ 8 hours 120.0° F @ 12 hours I am pleased with these results. Especially since we finish our coffee in the 1 to 2 hour range. I took the temperature with a probe thermometer and opened the carafe every time to test it. In doing that, it obviously lost temperature faster than it would have if I just poured a cup and tested it. I am definitely not a scientist and realized my testing mistake about 8 hours in. I will also note I didn't preheat the carafe with hot water. I am sure that would enhance the results. All in all, for the price and the quality, I would recommend this Ideus thermal carafe. I will update this post if there are any major items that arise.

Heat retention: It’s not a vacuum flask, but it gets impressively close. If I fill it with boiling water around 188 °F (87 °C) first thing in the morning, it still reads about 150 °F (65 °C) by early evening at normal room temperature. That eight-hour drop is perfect for brewing oolongs or greens without reheating. Build & portability: The lid seals snugly, the spout pours cleanly, and after months of daily use I haven’t seen a single leak - no drips in a backpack or on the desk. The handle stays cool and balanced, so carrying it between rooms is easy. Looks: I’ve picked up several colors now because the matte finish is beautiful and helps me match the kettle to different tea setups. Friends always ask where I found them. Bottom line: A reliable, heat-savvy kettle that moonlights as décor. If you need something that holds temperature well without the bulk of a thermos, grab one (or three). Highly recommended.

Beautiful beverage dispenser that feels high quality and keeps water cold for days. We took this on our two-week car camping trip, and it worked great. Two days after filling it up with water and ice, it still had ice in it. I can only speak on behalf of cold water through, as we don’t need it for hot beverage use. The folding legs are convenient, but the black plastic cap assembly they fold into on the bottom isn’t mounted straight-on facing you, which is weird. The spout also feels very low-quality plastic (mine even came with a dent) which doesn’t match the rest of the robust bottle. I fear that the spout may break on me one day - and if that becomes the case, I will try to replace it with a metal one. I also wish it came in a larger size as this is our main water source on roadtrips to avoid plastic water containers. However, the 1.4gal size makes it feel like a large water bottle, so it’s very convenient for transport. We even filled it up in a couple of Starbucks along our route. All-around I’m very happy with this jug so far—there are only minor things they could improve upon.

Despite what I'm about to say, we actually do like this caref, it has a great design, looks good on our counter, does what we need it to do (for the most part) and seems like it will last us for a couple of years. However, it is annoying that you have to tilt it really far to get your coffee. I still get psyched out that the coffee is all gone before it hits that sweet spot angle (which is practically 90degrees over your cup) and starts pouring the coffee. Also it does not keep it hot for nearly 12 hours. My husband wakes up and makes coffee around 4:45-5am and by the time I get up to have coffee around 6:45-7 the coffee is warm, but not hot at all. If I have coffee later in the morning, like 9-10 am its still warm-ish but I have to microwave it or it cools down way too quickly in the mug . So don't expect your coffee to be nice and hot for more than an hour or two in this caref, but it will stay warmish for a good while.

LOVE this carafe. It’s truly a star and keeps my tea hot all day long.

I'm loving this new coffee carafe. I love the color and the great design. It's so sleek and easy to use. We use a coffee carafe every morning to keep our coffee warm for hours. We were using one that had come with one of our old coffee makers, and that one lasted for years. I'm hoping this will last even longer. It really keeps the coffee nice and hot and is so easy to use. I especially love the wide mouth at the top. I used to spill lots of coffee trying to pour it into our old carafe, but now every drop gets in! That's a real plus for obsessive coffee drinkers like me and my husband! I highly recommend this product!

I purchased this thermal carafe in November 2025. This is my second one, and I’m disappointed that it only keeps coffee hot for about 1–2 hours. I always pour in freshly brewed hot coffee and make sure the lid is closed properly, but it still loses heat quickly. I expected much better insulation from a vacuum thermal carafe. It looks nice, but it doesn’t perform as advertised.

I filled with ice, followed with cold water. I refilled it with lukewarm water a few times over the course of 2 days in the summer, and the water was still ice cold. The plastic spout material certainly put me off. However, I doubt the water would have stayed cold as long as it did had the spout been metal. I may swap it out with a metal spout anyway, but the spout it comes with is actually not bad at all. Overall, it feels like a quality product, one I hope will last a long time. I may end up purchasing another. It’s hard to find quality items for a good price these days. Note to manufacturer: Thanks for making such an excellent product. Having said that, plastic feels cheap, especially on the outside of a product. You may want to consider providing an all metal option for those who don’t need such fantastic thermal efficiency, or adding stainless steel to the outer part of the spout, keeping the inner part plastic for thermal efficiency (preferred).

Bon produit qui garde la chaleur pendant des heures. Cher mais ça vaut le cout. Je recommande

Could not keep the water warm even for 3 hours. 000000 stars fake advertisement disgusting

The product was great!!! It kept the hot water piping hot for ages, was extremely impressed as I drink gallons of tea and always end up re boiling the kettle at least twice. Sadly when filling it up one morning I noticed that some of the inner coating had started to peal off. with no visible damage to the exterior this must be one that got by quality control.

Kept contents at good temperature. Easy to pour. Felt comfortable in my hands whilst pouring. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks.

It works really keeps water hot. Great esthetics we get compliments for the bottle.
