GiNT carafe is 11 inches tall and its base is 4" in diameter. It holds 51 oz of water.
This carafe's construction is two stainless steel walls with a vacuum between them. This construction is similar to the old glass Thermos bottles with steel replacing the glass. The thermal conductivity of glass is lower than steel so the glass thermos keeps the temperature better, but stainless steel is unbreakable. I recall a few occasions when I used Thermos as a youngster finding the content to be full of glass shards. Not a problem we'll ever see with a stainless steel carafe!
GiNT holds the temperature pretty well. I filled it with hot water and measured the temperature several times over 14 hours with a temperature probe.
★ start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 187 degrees
★ 6 h later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 136 degrees
★ 14.5 hours later ~~~~~~~~ 106 degrees
The carafe closes very tightly (it takes a bit of force to open it) and it leak-free. You can pour water either by pressing the lever on the cap which allows you to pour the liquid through the spout or by removing the cap and using the wide opening of the carafe to pour out. The carafe opening is large so it is easy to add ice cubes when I take it along in for a car trip in warm weather.
