Is the top of the carafe when opened flat so you can use a plastic coffee cone directly on it?

The spout tips up about half an inch, but, the opening and top of handle are flat. Not sure what your coffee cone is like, but, if it is shaped like a big funnel, it would work fine. I like it a lot. Keeps liquids hot for a long time and doesn't take up too much space on the edge of the desk . . . buy two because you are going to want another . . .

3 5/8 " diameter. Although the spout has a little rise outside the 3 5/8 inches, you still have a sizeable diameter to work with. My Melitta Ready Set Joe cone has a base diameter of 4 1/2 inches, and it sits flat.

Yes, but a small cone base about 3 in diameter. This is a very nice thermos carafe. I may order another.

Yes, the lid comes completely off. It looks like you could set a coffee cone on it.

No you cannot. The Gold filter is the wrong shape as well. It is a basket shape and not a cone. The saving grace of this strange combo is the coffee maker is excellent.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.

No, the coffee drips from the glass. The plastic is away from the drip zone although I can see why you might wonder from the picture.

The carafe is stainless on the outside and glass on the inside. The top of the brewing unit is not. It is silver plastic. That being said, we love the coffee maker.

The top looks like it just snaps off in a backward direction. But the plastic looks a little cheap, and I am afraid it would break off after snapping on and off a few times. I just leave the top on when I wash the carafe. You can get in and wash by hand with the top still on. Brad

Yes there's a plastic section of the holder that is removable. It has a piercing point which puts a small hole in the bottom of a kcup. If you have the instruction book, there is a picture and also instructions for removing this piece for cleaning. I believe they call it a funnel. If this is missing, the only way to use the plastic kcups is to poke a small hole in the bottom of the kcup. If returning is not an option, there are coffee pods available that I order from a company called san francisco bay through amazon which are not plastic. These have a mesh type pod which doesn't require piercing. They are also recyclable, so not so much waste plastic in the environment. The coffee is great too. I buy the fogchaser or breakfast blend. But if you like flavors those are also available. Hope this helps.

Yes but not vastly so! I dare say the coffee tastes better as there are no plastic components anywhere..the coffee is delicious out of it! And as a bonus it looks great on the counter..hope this helped!

Sorry...took some time to check...it appears that the carafe is not double walled.

Yes, to both questions. You do need to put the lid on to pour. The carafe doesn't pour neatly without lid.

plastic part on top is the lid. Coffee sits in porcelain part of the brewer.

Yes it does, and the stem stabilizes the cone, fitting nicely into any carafe or thermos. This is a really well designed product, in my view.

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

No problem at all.You remove the carafe from the coffee maker, take off the filter cone with the lid on top and replace the lid on the carafe.Because the filter cone is inside the carafe there will never be a mess by dripping coffee onto the hot plate .

yes, it is the shape of the carafe, it is hard to flush and when you pour coffee it drips. But all said, the invention of the insulated carafe is wonderful when you can have a good cup of coffee even two hours after brewing.

Your cup must be wide enough to allow the bottom of the cone fall with the cup. The picture may not show but the cone continues well beyond the rim of the carafe (picture on the cover). If you place the cone on a cup, the cone must continue within the cup otherwise the cone will not be stable.

Well the plastic cone at the top is plastic, but the parts that grind the coffee are some form of ceramic and the container that holds the grounded coffee is glass. Hope that helps.
