SH-HC15NU Stainless Steel Vacuum Carafe, 1.5-Liter, Matte Copper

This is hands down the best vacuum-insulated coffee and water jug I’ve ever used! I’ve always trusted Zojirushi — I first discovered the brand through their amazing rice cookers, and later used their thermos bottles, which impressed me with their lightweight design and easy cleaning. So when I found this larger jug with a handle for easy pouring, I had to try it — and it’s been perfect. The jug is spacious — easily holding a full day’s worth of hot or cold water. The wide-mouth opening makes it simple to add ice directly from the fridge ice dispenser, and the removable lid makes cleaning effortless. The temperature retention is what truly sets it apart. It keeps beverages hot or cold for 2–3 days, which is incredible. Many bottles claim to hold temperature for 24 or 36 hours, but Zojirushi consistently outperforms them all. It’s clear the company’s research, materials, and insulation technology are top-notch. The pouring mechanism is smooth and easy to disassemble for cleaning. Both the jar and lid are dishwasher-safe, and I’ve had no issues with paint chipping or parts loosening after multiple washes. Overall, I can confidently say Zojirushi is one of the most reliable brands on the market. The build quality, performance, and thoughtful design make this jar unbeatable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, stylish, and long-lasting hot and cold water jug.

Trying to find a product that isn't made like a piece of garbage these days is often difficult. I have tested this thermos and it really works well. The lid is a little peculiar, but then I came to realize that they made it to keep the heat in even as you pour out your favorite liquid. I am using this largely for my hot tea or coffee. I had recently tried just to find a hot plate to keep my carafe on instead of on the stove but found problems with several. They weren't going to work and some were even dangerous and poorly made. So, instead I decided to just find a worthwhile thermal carafe to keep my stuff hot. This one works great. It is double walled stainless steel,( no glass inside that can break), and it keeps my drinks acceptably hot. I will preheat with hot water prior to pouring in my coffee or tea. I am using a Cuisinart electric kettle that has six preset levels from 160F to Boil and that thing is dead on accurate. I get my water up to 200F for coffee or tea. So, using a Thermoworks Thermapen to test, I fill the carafe up to my desired level. It will lose a few degrees in that process depending on how hot the preheated liquid was. At that point it will register at 196F. I'll close the lid and come back to measure again in an hour. That reading is apx 186-188F. In another hour it reads right around 182F and then another hour it reads 176-180F. So, three plus hours of hot drinks. Mind you, every time I opened the lid, I am losing some of the heat, so the readings may have been a bit higher taking that into consideration. The outside of the thermos remains at room temp, so you know there isn't any heat loss there. The instructions are great and they cover everything including the process of taking the intricate lid apart for cleaning. It really isn't difficult if you pay attention when you do this. Ordinarily, you should not have to take it apart every time but a good rinse under hot water should do the trick. Washing out the carafe is easy either with a bottle brush or as they instruct, just fill with a mixture of vinegar and water every now and again. I have used it with both coffee and tea and have not had any carry back flavors. If you want a well made product that keeps your liquids hot for a good while, this will do the trick. I love this thermal carafe and know you will too.

I absolutely love this product! This carafe keeps my tea warm for up to 15 hours — seriously impressive. Zojirushi has been around for as long as I can remember, and they consistently make some of the best quality products out there. I actually own about six of their water bottles, and they’re all fantastic. They keep my tea hot or warm for hours, which is perfect since I sip tea throughout the day. I drink at least 40 oz daily — cold in the summer and warm in the winter — and Zojirushi never disappoints. Highly recommend if you want reliable, long-lasting temperature control!

My mom prefers to drink the hot water instead of cold ones. We bought this for her. It works well. Normally it keeps the water hot for one day. The temp will drop in the second day. It is fine since she can finish the whole bottle in one day.

Daughter loves this. These are high quality and retain heat beautifully

The carafe for my 16 year old Moccamaster KBT-741 attempted a backflip off of the counter top - well, my elbow may have played a minor part in it - and broke the handle off. The handle is made of polypropylene - which for some reason Technivorm treats as a trade secret - so it can't be glued. The only real solution is to weld it. The carafe never kept coffee warm anyway, so why not replace it for something that does? After all, the Moccamaster carafe wasn't easy to pour, unless you use big wide coffee mugs, didn't keep coffee warm and the screw in top was a pain to use and was constantly being misplaced. The Moccamaster replacement carafe is $85. I couldn't justify it and it is lined with glass. Why not have a vacuum insulated double stainless carafe? It still doesn't have a push button pour... A swing and a miss. The envelope for a replacement carafe in the Moccamaster KBT-741 is a diameter of 5 3/8 and a height of 9 1/8. I don't know why these manufactures don't include the height dimension of their carafes with the stopper removed. The Zojirushi SH-HC15BM has a height of 9 1/8" with the stopper removed and a diameter of 5 1/8". The stopper is just cool: it comes off with a pinch and pours a nice, clean, predictable stream. It fact the stopper is almost too easy to remove. How dare you Zojirushi! At 42% less than the Technivorm carafe, it is no contest. So if you are looking for a better solution for your Moccamaster KBT-741, this carafe is definitely worth your attention.

After a series of coffee pitchers over the years, this finally seems to be the one I've been looking for: [a] The right capacity, at 1.5 liters (~50 fl oz US) it holds precisely the maximum amount of coffee my Yosemite percolator can produce. [b] I got the dark blue: it looks really great, even "elegant"! [c] The cap can be disassembled and cleaned! This is a big concern for me: one never knows what's going on in those plastic caps where everything's fused together and can't be inspected. (This is why I don't use electric coffee makers anymore.) It's trivial to separate the cap into 2 pieces, which is all one needs for daily rinsing. For the occasional major cleaning, it can be disassembled further. [d] Coffee stays HOT all day. Not that I want to drink 12-hour old coffee, but temperature doesn't seem to be a problem. [e] Build quality seems excellent.
