To keep coffee warm for my dad, I only remember my mom using the Gevalia coffee carafe that she received for subscribing to their coffee for a few years.  Maybe this Rotpunkt carafe was used before that?  I estimate that this carafe dates to the late 70s up to the mid-80s.  It's a vacuum thermos-style coffee pot with a glass insert.  The orange dot on the lid is an indicator: loosen the lid so the orange dot is closest to the spout, and the carafe is open for pouring coffee.  I didn't try it, but I estimate that this carafe would hold a bit less than a standard 12-cup pot of coffee.  The whole carafe measures 9.25" to the top of the lid, and 4" outside diameter at the lid (5.5" diameter at the widest part).  When I was trying to find out more about these Rotpunkt coffee pots, I found out that they should never be submerged in water for cleaning.
