Reply to comment by truckthunders in BIFL Coffee Bros, Yeti Cup and Mueller French Press by lostdragon05

Well a typical French press only makes three or four cups worth of coffee at a time anyway, so that's not going to sit around all that long, especially if you're not the only coffee drinker in the house.

We used to French press, but the coffee would always dip to slightly below ideal temperature by the second cup, so when our last carafe broke we never bothered replacing it. She drinks drip now and I use an Aero.

It's possible that over extraction could occur quickly, so the use of a thermal carafe to maintain the coffee's temperature would only be beneficial if you transfer the pressed coffee into it. This means that the statement about holding in the french press for a "long time" does not align with the importance of preserving the quality of the coffee. Imho.
