Is the lid of the carafe thermal?

The lid is thermal. If you want to optimize the thermal qualities of this carafe, you must remember to rinse inside with hot water. Otherwise, I notice that the carafe will not hold the heat to the brewed coffee as long. Love this product!!! No burnt tasting coffee--EVER!

Yes, the lid provides good pot insulation, even while allowing water to drip in and coffee to pour out, without need to remove lid. Coffee stays hot and fresh-tasting for four hours or so.

I'm not sure what you mean by a thermal lid, but I assume you're wondering whether the carafe keeps the coffee warm. It does, as well as most thermal carafes, but you'll still need to reheat cups poured out of it after an hour or so. If you don't heat the carafe with hot water before brewing, it will keep coffee at a drinkable temperature only about 30 minutes.

I have never taken the lid off the carafe. it could very possible break from the forceable pressure.

This is a wonderful carafe, makes delicious coffee. It includes the lid and the funnel. It is thermal glass lined. You never put it on the stove to heat as the bottom of the carafe is heavy-duty plastic; the carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours as it sits on your cabinet. No more re-heated or burnt-tasting coffee or scorched pot!

Ha! I have no idea. I don't bother with the top lid thing because I never figured it out! I still love it though because it really keeps my coffee warm for hours.

Yes initially, but I transfer it to a regular thermos container because the thermal carafe doesn't keep it as hot.

No - not thermal. The coffee stays warm for a little while after the warmer automatically shuts off. But since it is only 4-cup there is not that much coffee to keep warm.

Yes, the mug is! However, the lid is not. You just have to remove the lid before microwaving.

Only thermal. Taste is not influenced by the metal carafe. However, the design has a deep rim, which makes it difficult to completely empty the carafe.

No. You can see on the inside four tiny marks from where steel pins were forged to the carafe to attach the handle on the outside. It is a smooth join with only minor indentations. I use this at least four times a week and am pleased with it.

Mine is, but I think the 2 qt is available with either a stainless or glass lid. Make sure the photo shows the cover you want.

Not that I am aware of, but the carafe did not seem to get hot when using the single serve side only.

Yes but NOT the lid, that's why I love it I use milk in my coffee but like it HOT.

There is an insulating liner under the lid, but it does not come in contact with the coffee. No other plastic parts.

The lid is a press - not insulated, but I doubt it would be worthwhile for it to be insulated. This is not a thermos, but a French press that does a pretty good job keeping coffee hot for longer than a glass carafe would. Use a tea cozy or put the coffee in a real thermos if you want long term heat retention. And....it won't break - a real plus.

No, but it is a little difficult to click the lid on properly while pot is hot.
