Can you get your hand into the 1 liter thermal carafe to make the cleaning easy?

I have the tall carafe which has about a 2.5 inch opening. Can't get hand in but haven't had any problems cleaning it.

Not with my hand. Long fingers and a sponge work fine though. I've also used the cleaner that came with my moccamaster 3 times over the last year.It is very effective at cleaning the whole system.

Not sure, but don't try.You will break the action used for pumping the coffee out.What makes you want to remove it?

Yes, you can do that. The other option that you have is to simply press the carafe (or single serve) button when you have the amount you desire (just a moment before actually to give the machine time to respond) and the brewing will stop then too.

Yes, you can put 1 cup water in, 1 cup coffe out, etc. the only reason I do not like it is you cannot read lettering on face.

No, you don't need it, heating element is only on glass carafe model, thermal carafe keeps coffee hot and fresh several hours great machine

I could not say, I have never used a thermal carafe. Perhaps contact Cuisinart directly for an answer.

The opening is 2 3/8". An average hand cannot fit in there to wash. Solved problem by purchasing Scotch Brite Handwand. It is perfect to clean out carafe. As far as stains go, occasionally, I put a couple tablespoons of Dip It Coffee Pot Destainer in the carafe along with very hot tap water and let is set for a few minutes and tah dah...it's all shiny again. Hope this helps!

No. You can do it yourself. Although a little hand pump would make the job easier and faster, but over all it wasn't too difficult.

Yes you can, it stops pouring out completely when you remove the carafe. Works great!

Yes!! The mouth of the carafe is large enough to get your hand in to clean inside. The lid of the carafe screws on to keep the coffee hot ( all day ) after brewing with the cone is finished. We really enjoy this product.

Yes initially, but I transfer it to a regular thermos container because the thermal carafe doesn't keep it as hot.

Absolutely! It is one of my favorite things about it (that and the cleaning which is so much easier than my previous stainless one, though I still miss the aesthetics a little bit). Even better than being one handed, it raises up with ease with just the side of your hand that is already clutching waste on it's way in. It's function is unsurpassed (imho).

The opening isn't large enough to get your hand inside. I just fill it about half full of vinager and swish it around to clean

Easy to clean the carafe. I also rinse the lid - mostly with hot water but as thoroughly as I can.

I put a quart of pure white vinegar and start the unit as if I were distilling water and let it start to produce the distilled liquid into the carafe. I turn the unit off and open the lid, while being careful that the steam is released away from me so as not to get burned by the steam. Then if necessary I scrub with a copper scrubber till clean.

I bought the coffee maker as a gift....but having seen it a few times, I would say probably not. But you can buy a small bottle brush ( with a long handle) that will do the trick well....I used to use one to clean my quart thermos and it worked great!

No, l can't since I sent the pot and the brewer back to the company since I did not work with the militia model that I had. They have sent me a new brewer with the appropriate carafe. Kris josephsohn
