I have a coffee maker with a thermal carafe and I don’t reccommend them. The weight of the metal in the carafe cools the coffee down too much and there is no heater in the base to keep the coffee warm. So when it brews you end up with a pot of somewhat warm coffee. You have to heat the metal pot up with warm water before the brew.
On mine there is a special screw down top on the carafe which makes cleaning it harder and you have to have tightened down to get it under the filter. The coffee maker won’t work without the top on because of a no drip valve under the basket. I ended up ripping the part out since I didn’t like dealing with the lid.
try a regular coffee maker and purchase an air-pot (brand name) they are available in restaurant stores or sams club for about $25 us. They will keep coffee hot for almost 24 hours
