Is this carafe insulated (double walled)?

Sorry...took some time to check...it appears that the carafe is not double walled.

No, it is just like the glas one only ss. Read comments regarding shape though.

no, it is simply a stainless steel carafe...similar to it's glass counterpart- you probaly use one with your drip coffee maker. It is very durable but won't keep liquids any hotter than any regular glass carafe.

The thermal carafe does have a glass lining, but that aside, it's not the carafe that makes better coffee, it's the temperature of the machine that heats the water, the way the beans are ground and the quality of beans that you have. All that said, I prefer the carafe, because it doesn't continue to cook the coffee once it's brewed, resulting in the strong burnt/bitter taste that a regular carafe drip maker would.

No it is not. Not sure how the initial responder figured that it is, but it sits a good inch higher than the original carafe and is not even close. I will be returning my recent purchase tomorrow.

No it is not insulated. It is a sealed garbage can with a hot plate on the bottom.

My 741.03/A does not have a heated plate underneath. I don't know what the 741 AO has. My model has a metal carafe.

The carafe is not insulated. It's made of rolled sheet metal and heat will dissipate quickly if not maintained by the base. I've found the digital temperature system difficult to manage. I connected it to a switchable power strip so I can turn the whole system off after each use. I don't use the keep warm feature. The water continues to heat up so I just shut it off completely using the power strip. It would be nice if it indicated when the set temperature has been reached with an audible beep or tone. Ultimately, I'm disappointed with the digital temp system. The unit continues to heat the water after the set temp is reached even though it tries to enter the warming mode.

When you say thermal, I think of stainless steel throughout both inner and outer walls or stainless steel outer wall and glass inner wall . I can not get an answer if this carafe is plastic on inner wall . If so, this is not a true thermal and is probably why some answers say it does not hold up keeping coffee hot ...

No, the plate is simply a base - no heat involved. Carafe will keep coffee hot for several hours, just remember to use the small cap that comes with with it

Toni: Yes, it is double walled. Can't see inside the wall, so can't positively attest that it is insulated. But it does an excellent job of keeping ice cubes in a frozen state outdoors on the patio in the heat of the summer for 6/8 hours, I would have to surmise that it is insulated. I've been very pleased with this ice bucket since I acquired it several years ago. It stays outdoors on the patio 24/7 year round and exhibits no evidence of any rust or corrusion dispite exposure to the harsh outdoor elements. Hope this helps.Dick

No, it is a glass carafe. There is just stainless steel accenting to the front of the maker, as seen in the picture.

No. They are plastic on the bottom. These keep the coffee warm without heat. Thermal carafe, like a thermos.

The one I got comes with a Thermal Carafe. It will keep coffee warm for more than 8 hours. The product is great.

Its not insulated at all. It will only stay hot for about the same amount of time it would in a regular coffee cup.

No, it is not double walled. If I put ice in it, it tends to melt fairly fast.

The carafe is insulated metal and does not need a hotplate to keep it warm. Also note that we have returned our unit because it fails to cycle the lid over the brewer causing all sorts of problems. Until Cuisinart fixes this keep away for buying one.
