title_body: For how long coffee may stay in thermoses; meeting ECBC/SCAE/SCAA requirements, what does it mean?
upvoted_answer: ECBC , SCAE and SCAA are organizations that are specialized in Coffee. They organize many events like contests. Sometimes these contests are held for people sometimes for equipment. They also produce many reports on Coffee; from taste of a cup to cultivation politics. So, these organizations also have a certification procedure for coffee brewing machines.
  
  From the question, I understand that you want to keep the brewed filtered coffee in the carafe for a while and you are asking for the maximum allowed time for that.
  
  The answer is; the machine will try to keep the coffee intact as long as it can; however, at that temperature the water will eventually vaporize and the rest of your coffee will turn into a bitter, dark, burnt coffee.
  
  Simply, your coffee will eventually die as living beings and your high-quality gadget may just slow this, but cannot stop.
  
  Solution: Just taste it. Fresh filtered coffee always tastes better. According to my experience, first half hour is the tasty period.
