Thermal carafes are fantastic, I really don't get why they aren't the default. I got one in college because it seemed like the obvious choice, and it was SO much better than I expected. I'll never buy a glass one again. They're not fragile, the coffee stays just as hot for at least 4 hours if not much longer, and because "effective insulation" means "doesn't exchange much air" it also keeps it from oxidizing as quickly.
