The result is a perfectly balanced cup of coffee every time - a difference you can taste with every sip.

A full jug remains at 80°C for up to 3 hours and is still warm at 50°C after 8 hours. Whether you're working at home, in the office, or outdoors, this ensures you can enjoy hot, flavourful coffee whenever you want it. With a 1.25L capacity, it easily serves up to 10 cups, perfect for busy households or gatherings.
