Know before you buy
The Zojirushi SH-HC15BM utilizes high-quality vacuum insulation to maintain optimal temperatures for several hours. While exact duration depends on the starting temperature and how often the lid is opened, it is designed to keep coffee hot or water cold throughout a standard morning or afternoon.
No, this carafe is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the vacuum seal and the stainless steel finish, we recommend hand-washing the interior and exterior with mild detergent.
Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the 2 1/2-inch wide mouth. The opening is large enough to accommodate most standard bottle brushes, making it easy to reach the bottom and sides for a thorough scrub.
No, the vacuum insulation technology prevents condensation from forming on the outside of the carafe. You can place it on a wooden table or desk without worrying about water rings or moisture damage.
No, this carafe is not freezer safe. Placing it in the freezer can damage the vacuum insulation seal, which is essential for its temperature-retention performance.
The carafe holds 1.5 liters, which is equivalent to approximately 50.7 ounces. This size is ideal for serving multiple cups of coffee or keeping a large supply of chilled water on hand for guests.
