- How long does the thermal carafe keep coffee hot?
- A double-wall stainless carafe typically holds coffee drinkably hot for a couple of hours. It is not a vacuum flask, so expect it to cool gradually after that.
- Does it have a hot plate?
- No. The carafe is the heat source, which is the point: coffee is not held on a burner and does not pick up a scorched flavor.
- Can I set it to brew at a certain time?
- This is a basic batch drip model. Check the controls on the unit for a timer or auto-brew setting before you count on waking up to brewed coffee.
- How do I clean the thermal carafe?
- Wash it by hand with warm soapy water and a bottle brush, and rinse well. Stainless interiors can hold oils, so a periodic vinegar soak helps.
- Is the carafe dishwasher safe?
- Many stainless thermal carafes are hand-wash only to protect the vacuum seal. Follow the care instructions that come with the machine.
- Does it use standard paper filters?
- GE drip machines of this type take standard basket-style paper filters. Confirm the filter shape on the machine before buying a box.
