Query: Almost Useless

This carafe keeps beverages warm, much like any other stainless steel thermal bottle. My chief complaint is with the lid. I am strong man, yet I find it a chore, almost impossible, to screw and unscrew the lid of this carafe. I've looked at the threading and there doesn't appear to be any major faults that would indicate that this particular carafe was defective, so I have to assume that the design is at fault. I'm honestly thinking of replacing the lid with a large cork bung, which would be more decorative, as well as more functional. Without the lid it doesn't keep coffee warm much longer than a simple glass carafe. My recommendation would be to avoid this product, unless other reviewers can contradict me and say that this is not a problem for their carafes.
