Filter Coffee Machines With a Thermal Jug

Guide to coffee machines with thermal jug

What are the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a coffee machine with a thermal jug? Which coffee machines with thermal jug are the cheapest and are they more expensive than models with a glass jug? You can read more about that in this guide.

Filter coffee machines come with two types of jugs or carafes – glass or thermal. Thermal jugs are made of stainless steel or aluminum, and have a vacuum seal to keep the coffee warm.

While filter coffee machines with a glass jug are more common and affordable, there are several advantages to getting a model with a thermal jug.

These are the main advantages of getting a coffee machine with a thermal jug:

• They keep your coffee warm longer: Thermal jugs are made of double-walled stainless steel that is designed to prevent the heat from escaping. Glass jugs need a heating plate to keep the coffee warm, which increases the chances of them burning it and making it bitter. A thermal jug, on the other hand, will keep your coffee fresh and hot for several hours.
• They don’t break easily: Thermal jugs are sturdier than glass jugs, so they won’t break if you drop them. This makes them perfect for those who have small children and want to avoid accidents. You can also bring them with you on picnics and camping trips.
• Portability: A thermal jug is a convenient way to take your coffee with you thanks because it has a lid and handle to help you carry it.

Here are the main disadvantages of opting for a coffee machine with a thermal jug:

• Cost: Coffee machines with a thermal jug are typically more expensive than models that come with a glass jug.
• Lack of visibility: Because thermal jugs are opaque, it is hard to tell how much coffee you have left.
• Cleaning: Some thermal jugs are harder to clean than glass carafes, especially if they have an intricate design.
