Question: What is the size of the rim of this model?  The wife make coffer using a cone tht drips into the pot, I want to make sure that the cone will fit.
Document: The coffee was hot long enough for me to drink an entire pot by myself - and remained hot the entire time even away from any heat source. I didn't time myself on how long it took me to drink it all, but I would estimate it to be a couple hours - I wasn't particularly rushing.The product arrived reliably, and fit the coffee pot I ordered it with perfectly.I might even order another of these thermal carafes for times when I entertain guests and want to make an assortment of coffees.
I purchased a Mr. Coffee unit with the glass pot for our travel trailer but was concerned about the fragility of the glass in a camping environment. I researched and found this stainless steel carafe and, after making sure it fit the appliance, purchased it.We took the trailer out last weekend and, of course, made coffee every morning. The new carafe is perfect!
I bought this to go with the Mr. coffee BVMC-SJX33GT 12 cup coffeemaker. Since all the kids have left, we don't need to make 12 cups every day, so this 8 cup pot is the right size for a couple living on their own and the pot matches the coffee make so nicely and keep it warm so I can have a second cup after my husband leaves for work.
We had hoped to use this carafe for both tea and coffee, but the gasket inside the rim of the carafe retains the odor of coffee too strongly. It only slightly affects the flavor of tea that pours past it, but the lingering smell of old coffee, when you want to get a good waft of fresh brewed tea, does spoil the tea-drinking experience, especially if setting the carafe out for guests.I'm not sure why the carafe needs this gasket AND the one that was already on the lid.
I generally brew 4 cups of coffee in order to make a batch of iced lattes for my husband. I take the lid all the way off and pour the entire contents to a pitcher and add milk. So, the pouring feature, length of staying warm or capacity others complain about isn't an issue for me. This model fits perfectly though it is a replacement for the paper thin glass container that I broke. This sleek stainless steel container actually looks better than the stainable glass carafe.
This item works well for keeping larger quantity of coffee hot and fresh. My wife and I love it. Item is well made and works with my mr coffee auto pot.
The only reason I didn't want a coffee machine was because I always end up breaking the pot by dropping it on the floor. Fortunately I found this amazing creation. Not only is it unbreakable *by my standards, but it also keeps my coffee warm without my machine being on. I will also point out that the top of the pot is a screw on lid that CAN be on when you brew coffee. When you want to pour coffee out you unscrew the lid slightly and have hot coffee.
The thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot!We have discontinued using it!Our old thermal pot (not. mr Coffee's) does a much better job of retaining the heated coffee.I would not recommend this Mr Coffee's a Thermal Carafe!Ken
I actually purchased this for Thanksgiving. I knew that I needed to make caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee but I only had one coffee maker. This worked perfectly and kept the pot warm the entire time!
This carafe allows me to make a pot of coffee before my guests arrive and then a second one which keeps warm on the coffee maker. I am able to easily handle eight guests this way without having to wait for that second pot to brew.
Answer: David the rim is 4" wide but the opening inside is only 2 5/8" and is lower to accommodate the screw lid. I tried Melita cones and a small white ceramic one sits nicely but a large plastic one does not. Mr Coffee makers use a basket filter not a Melita cone. I really like the Mr Coffee maker which was a Consumer Reports buy recommendation. Hope this helps.
