Zojirushi Supreme 3-Liter Airpot, Brushed Stainless Steel

 (26 customer reviews)

I like this air pot for 4 reasons, but don't like it for 5 also..

Like it for:
1.) Capacity 3.0 Liters
2.) nice 360 degrees swivel action, for people in the front, people in the back, people on the sides - can just swivel and fill.
3.) large Base makes it less prone to tip over.
4.) Glass interior - Makes me more comfortable that there are no plastic toxins or general metal that could be adding other toxins to my drink.

Don't like it for:
1.) Short - Makes it hard to maneuver larger cups, especially, when you have a drip catcher under the nozzle, to catch falling drips. (not included in package, its just something we put under ours, so that the coffee doesn't drip onto the table after someone filling their cups)
2.) The push button design - To get the coffee, you need to push down on the top center button, which depresses lower, place the wrist/hand at inconvenient positions (A raised lever is much easier to use - especially, if you...Read more

Wow. I have to say that just three days in to owning this Airpot it has managed to impress me.

Yesterday morning I made a couple pots of coffee and filled the Airpot. Partially because I like coffee and wanted some to drink, but I also wanted to see how long it could keep it hot and drinkable over the number of hours I'd spend at work.

I woke up this morning and realized that I had gone to bed last night without cleaning it out, so I went to do so.

To my complete (and happy) surprise even after frequent draws yesterday, and then sitting on the counter in the kitchen over night the coffee in there was still hot enough for me to notice it wasn't cold. So I drew off a cup to check.

24 hours after filling and the coffee was still 125 degrees (F).

Bought this a couple of weeks back, and I am very happy overall. Having gone through several thermos with lackluster performance, I was hoping this one would be better. I was surprised and very pleased. With a three liter capacity there's plenty of water to go around now.

Pros:
1. Sturdy construction, very well put together,
2. Keep contents hot over 24+ hours.
3. Easy to clean stainless steel exterior.

Cons.
1. Glass thermos interior, may not be suitable for rough handling.
2. Plastic water recovery pipe, which will remain immersed in the hot water. I fixed this by getting an 8 inch length of copper tube, of 3/8 inch diameter, and replaced the plastic pipe with it.

I would give this 4 stars, and point 2 on the Cons list, is what kept it from getting a full 5. I would have thought that Zojirushi would have understood that plastic and hot water don't do well together.
