Because coffee is meant for cups, not countertops...

The exclusive Drip-Free Carafe delivers the cleanest pour on the market with a proprietary lid and spout design that arcs the coffee into the cup and wicks the rest back into the carafe. The easy-to-read cup markings for filling and pouring either right-handed or left-handed make it simple to use while its glass is resistant to thermal shock and is top-rack dishwasher safe for easier cleaning. Last but not least, the ergonomic handle is designed to maximize comfort when pouring.
