Amazon.com Review
This quality thermal pot is one you'll reach for repeatedly during those cold winter nights or hot summer afternoons. For icy cold beverages, pre-rinse with cold water, fill with your favorite beverage, and then drop in a few ice cubes. (Don't do the ice first, as the liner can crack with sudden temperature changes.) For hot coffee or chocolate, just rinse with warm water and then fill up. This large-capacity pot does a terrific job of keeping that morning coffee hot and fresh until lunchtime, but it is fragile enough that kids may need a hands-off policy. The pump-top dispenser prevents you from having to lift a heavy pitcher--just press the lid until you cup is full. Great for small offices and convenient for social occasions--or anywhere you want to have piping hot or frosty cool drinks available with minimal fuss. --Jill Lightner

Customer Reviews

It works, with nice capacity...
I like this air pot for 4 reasons, but don't like it for 5 also..

Like it for:
1.) Capacity 3.0 Liters
2.) nice 360 degrees swivel action, for people in the front, people in the back, people on the sides - can just swivel and fill.
3.) large Base makes it less prone to tip over.
4.) Glass interior - Makes me more comfortable that there are no plastic toxins or general metal that could be adding other toxins to my drink.

Don't like it for:
1.) Short - Makes it hard to maneuver larger cups, especially, when you have a drip catcher under the nozzle, to catch falling drips. (not included in package, its just something we put under ours, so that the coffee doesn't drip onto the table after someone filling their cups)
2.) The push button design - To get the coffee, you need to push down on the top center button, which depresses lower, place the wrist/hand at inconvenient positions (A raised lever is much easier to use - especially, if you have the other hand holding something else, you can just use your karate chop action, while your other hand is holding the cup that is getting filled - making sure it doesn't spill all over.)
3.) The lock - It's too easy switch it in the lock/unlock positions and also hard to find, if someone is unfamiliar with it. (which is, on the push dispenser button, it just turns from 12 o'clock to 11 o'clock (5 degrees) and its locked and unlocked.)
4.) Cleaning - Is a B____.. The hole is only about, maybe 2 inches in diameter.. I can't fit anything down there to scrub around if necessary. So as far as cleaning.. I've just been using mine for coffee, and completely filling it with scorching water - when not in use. And swishing soap in there, every other time after use. I think about, maybe using some vinegar/water mixture may help too..
5.)General design - For some reason, when this Air Pot is sat next to other air pots, this one is neglected, and chosen over, by the taller/push down lever models.

I could probably talk more about this pot, and if you read this entire review, I'm impressed. Sorry - if I bored anyone else to sleep. But to conclude, I wouldn't buy this model again. This model, was actually kinda pricey as well - I would sacrifice the capacity, and buy 2 other ones, with the levers.

What a fantastic pot.
Wow. I have to say that just three days in to owning this Airpot it has managed to impress me.

Yesterday morning I made a couple pots of coffee and filled the Airpot. Partially because I like coffee and wanted some to drink, but I also wanted to see how long it could keep it hot and drinkable over the number of hours I'd spend at work.

I woke up this morning and realized that I had gone to bed last night without cleaning it out, so I went to do so.

To my complete (and happy) surprise even after frequent draws yesterday, and then sitting on the counter in the kitchen over night the coffee in there was still hot enough for me to notice it wasn't cold. So I drew off a cup to check.

24 hours after filling and the coffee was still 125 degrees (F).

Great thermos - keeps everything hot over 24+ hours
Bought this a couple of weeks back, and I am very happy overall. Having gone through several thermos with lackluster performance, I was hoping this one would be better. I was surprised and very pleased. With a three liter capacity there's plenty of water to go around now.

Pros:
1. Sturdy construction, very well put together,
2. Keep contents hot over 24+ hours.
3. Easy to clean stainless steel exterior.

Cons.
1. Glass thermos interior, may not be suitable for rough handling.
2. Plastic water recovery pipe, which will remain immersed in the hot water. I fixed this by getting an 8 inch length of copper tube, of 3/8 inch diameter, and replaced the plastic pipe with it.


I would give this 4 stars, and point 2 on the Cons list, is what kept it from getting a full 5. I would have thought that Zojirushi would have understood that plastic and hot water don't do well together.
