Sixteen Hours Hot and Thirty Six Hours Cold as the Listing States68 oz Vacuum Carafe With Gold Trim

HKM-7235539 is a vacuum carafe with a double-walled 18/8 stainless liner, a powder-coated outer shell that swells at the belly and narrows at the shoulder, and gold-tone trim on the lid rim, the handle spine and the press lever.

The lever sits on top of the lid beside the spout: press it and the carafe pours, release it and the valve closes.

It is the pot that stays on the table after the kettle has gone back to the kitchen — coffee at breakfast, tea through the afternoon, cold water at dinner.

Body, Material and Fit

The liner is 18/8 stainless steel, drawn as a single vessel and sealed inside an outer shell with the air evacuated between them.

That gap is the working part of the object: with nothing to carry heat across it, the contents hold their temperature and the outside stays at room temperature, which is why the shell can be held with a bare hand while the carafe is full of just-boiled water.

The outer shell is steel with a powder coat, moulded into a belly that is wider than the shoulder and a foot that is turned in slightly.

• Capacity: 68 oz; printed as 2.0 L on the box, 2.2 L on the size
• Liner: 18/8 stainless steel, double wall, vacuum sealed
• Retention: 16 hours hot, 36 hours cold, as stated
• Dimensions: 272 mm high, 185 mm across the base
• Lid: Screw stopper with press lever and silicone seal
• Finish: Powder-coated shell, gold-tone trim

White and black are the two finishes sold, and both carry the same gold-tone details: a band around the lid, a spine down the outside of the handle, and the lever itself.

Heating, Capacity and Control

Fill through the open neck with the lid off, screw the lid back down, and press the lever to pour.

The lever opens a valve in the lid and closes it again on release, so the carafe can be carried, tipped and set down without a drip and without the contents being exposed to air for longer than the pour takes.

Because the valve is in the lid and not in the spout, the pour starts as soon as the lever is pressed rather than after the carafe is tilted.

Retention is quoted in the supplier's own graphics as 16 hours hot and 36 hours cold — the cold figure is longer because the temperature difference to the room is smaller.

Who It Fits and How It Pours

Keep the spout turned away from the edge, and leave height above the lid for lifting it off when the carafe is refilled.

The supplier's graphics quote 16 hours hot and 36 hours cold, which is a pair of durations rather than a temperature: the figures say how long the pot holds, not what it holds to.

• The handle is a closed loop anchored at the shoulder and at the waist
• Pre-heating the liner with a little hot water
• Those numbers are the reason to buy a vacuum carafe over a jug
• The lid is a stopper that screws into the neck with a silicone seal

What's in the Box

HKM-7235539 ships in one carton with the the product and the parts listed above. Check each item against the list before the first use, and keep the carton for the first month in case something has to go back.

Color and Finish

Rinse the liner with warm water after use and leave the lid off to dry, so the seal and the valve are not kept wet. The long-handled brush in the box reaches the floor of the liner without scratching it.

For tea and coffee stains, a soak in warm water with a little bicarbonate is enough; chlorine and strong descalers are not kind to stainless.

Care and Maintenance

The powder-coated shell wipes clean with a damp cloth. It should not go in a dishwasher, and the carafe should not be immersed, since the vacuum seam at the base is sealed rather than welded shut.

Store it with the lid loose rather than screwed down, so air can move through the liner between uses. Two figures are printed for the volume: the retail box says 2.0 L / 68 oz and the size graphic says 2.2 L / 68 oz.

Sixty-eight ounces is the number both agree on — about 2.0 L — and the larger litre figure on the size drawing is recorded as printed rather than reconciled.

The body stands 272 mm high and measures 185 mm across the base. It lives on a table, a sideboard or a desk, and the footprint is small enough for a tray: 185 mm across and 272 mm tall, with the handle projecting to one side.
