does thermal carafe weigh more or less than glass carafe?

This carafe is all plastic. Keeps contents warm about an hour and is probably lighter than a glass Thermos-like carafe.

I don't use this anymore (nothing wrong with it, I received another coffeepot as a gift from my daughter) but it was all plastic so I would say it weighs less than a glass one.

So far, under normal use and following the directions, it has not imploded. I wash it every couple of weeks with warm water, dish soap, and the included soft scrubby. It keeps the coffee hot for hours. So far I'm very happy with going the thermal carafe route vs. the glass carafe. And the thermal carafe version does not have a hot plate.

The less expensive version does not have that perch. The entire assembly sits on the carafe.

I can't tell a difference in flavor, but I like this one because I kept breaking the glass ones. I think maybe it keeps the coffee hot longer, but I can't say for sure. I also think it looks really elegant.

No you have measure it 1st. I found the best way is use the mug I am using & pour the number of cups I think I'm going to drink or just use carafe .

I will say that I bought a 12 cup thermal carafe and it was for the 14 cup glass carafe model. It fits just right. I'd doubt a 12 cup glass and 12 cup thermal are interchangeable knowing how well the 12 cup thermal fits my 14 cup glass model. I guess you could always try and amazon has great returns.

Carafes are glass. Plastic would not be suitable for the hot plate feature! This unit works very well.

No problem with that. I find the pot to be very quick. I just wish the carafe had a greater capacity.

No indicator, also as carafe is heavy you may think there is more coffee left than there is

Essentially, this is a more sturdy version. I broke the glass version on the second use by accidentally dropping it. This one will hold up for a long time. I haven't noticed any differences in taste. Some might claim there is a difference in heat conductance which may very well be true. That said, I don't see it translating to a significantly different cup of coffee.

You should have a choice between the glass carafe and the metal one. Make sure you dig for details to be sure which one you choose for your cart.

The newer model has a totally stainless carafe. The earlier model is a glass thermos interior.

If I remember correctly the difference is that the one with the stainless steel carafe DOES NOT have a warming plate, I am sure you could use the glass carafe but without the warming plate it will not keep the coffee warm. Warning- the grinders do not last in these models, I had 3 in 2 and a half years.

I can only say it seems to almost the same as a Bodum 12 cup carafe, but slightly thinner. this was not a problem because the handle apparatus allows you to tighten it (with the screws) tightly.

I can no longer answer your question because the carafe broke on the first week we used it. It's apparently not tempered glass, because it broke from the gentle tap of one edge of a dishwashing brush. It is extremely fragile. If you can find a stronger product, I suggest you do so.

We only use the thermal carafe and think it is great. Keeps coffee hot for hours and have not had any explosions.

Not that I am aware of, but the carafe did not seem to get hot when using the single serve side only.
