Title: The Alfi Is Iffy
Product review: It's a beautiful design and color but that's as far as it goes in the world of coffee carafes. The handle on top is very thin and requires some strength in turning the top (I've had to go so far as to utilizing a screwdriver or knife as a lever!). It keeps the coffee moderately warm but not hot, but that may be a by-product of my fear of really screwing the top on too tightly. If looks are what you are after, this is the one for you. If you require your coffee to be kept with some modicum of heat retention, look elsewhere!
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
