I think it is important to get your coffee out of the glass coffee carafe sitting on the burner, and into a carafe right away. Or out of the french press and away from the grounds. You can also brew coffee directly into it using a filtercone.

Tapered body with wider base provides extra stability; large handle for easy service; features a one touch button system to pour; vacuum glass liner (note that this is not an all-stainless item) ensures excellent heat retention; available in brushed stainless finish.

Please note: this is a thermal carafe, not a thermos (don't take it hiking) and it is glass-lined - so the liner can break though after years of selling these I have not heard too many complaints about it being super fragile (unlike some glass-lined vac. pots). You can brew directly into it using a thermos filtercone too, and the #2 size filterholder works too!
