Coffee Carafes

Coffee Carafe: Keep Your Favorite Brew Hot

Brew coffee and keep it warm with a coffee carafe for serving at the table. When entertaining coffee lovers, a carafe keeps the joe close at hand. After dinner, bring out a mug for each guest along with creamer and sweetener on a serving tray. Then, pair your favorite blend with a platter of fresh pastries or cookies for guests to enjoy. For health-conscious company, offer bran muffins or fruit they can nibble on. Either way, give each guest a small plate so they can enjoy their favorites between sips of coffee. Hosting a crowd? Serve everyone at the same time by pouring the contents of the first pot in a coffee decanter while the second pot brews. For a warm-weather gathering, consider a coffee pitcher for iced coffee or cold brew instead.
