The 6 Best Glass-Lined Coffee Carafes Money Can Buy

Most coffee carafes are built with either a double wall or vacuum wall insulation. They are either made of plastic or stainless steel and although both styles work just fine there are always people who swear they can taste plastic or metallic flavors in their coffee. That is probably the number on reason why you might want to pick up a glass lined coffee carafe.

The interior glass lining doesn’t really add anything to the insulation of the carafe but it does add an element of cleanliness and purity to the insides (the part that actually touches coffee) that cant be matched in any other way.

One of the most highly rated carafes with glass lining is this 1-liter stainless steel and glass carafe by Zojirushi. People seem to love it because it keeps coffee super hot for a really long time while it is also built sturdy enough to last a really long time. They also like the price, as you don’t have to dig deep in your wallet to pick one up.

There are of course other alternatives, some of which cost less and some cost more. Mostly it’s all in the styling and build quality that separates them.

In today’s article, we will be bringing you a list of some of the best carafes that have glass lined insulation. We have added comments on notable features and a small review on each model. I know any of these carafes will work for you and I know one of them will be perfect for your home.

The Alfi Gusto Glass Vacuum Lacquered Metal Thermal Carafe is one of the models I came to know about, only recently, but I found to be actually pretty impressive.

• What is Glass Lining?
  Glass lining is a kind of insulation. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, there are several kinds of insulation and glass lining is one of them. I personally believe it is one of the best and most effective kinds of insulation out there.
• What are some of the features I might look for?
  As I said earlier, this entirely depends on what your needs are. Some people look for a sturdier frame, while some people look for a better insulation. So, the best feature that you might want varies with your needs, but keep in mind that there is a model dedicated to serving your every need and you just need to search properly.
• Do other features vary based on the kind of insulation?
  This is one of those questions that have no specific answer. The features of a model depend on several factors. Some features are just fundamental properties that do not vary with anything and some features might be dependent on design. As such, it’s not possible to say exactly, but generally if a company wants to include a variety of features, they can manage it.
• What is the most important thing to keep in mind?
  When it comes to insulation, materials and techniques must be kept in mind. Some insulating materials are better or longer lasting than others. It also might happen that some models might gradually lose insulation because of some kind of problem or just from age. If it’s well over the warranty date, then you might grab a new model. However, it’s better to stick to a reputable company, so that you can get a replacement if it’s within the warranty date.
