Yesterday, while making my usual rounds to the blogs, I came across a great idea from Joy over at Savvy City Farmer. She posted about what she called a Coffee Butler and encouraged us all to pick up one of the orphans from a thrift and save it from the dump...Yikes, that's a bad word around here. Anyway, I remembered my Mid-Century carafe that I had tucked away and pulled it out for my afternoon coffee.
It did a fabulous job of keeping it warm and no bitterness, which means less waste for me, as I will pour it out and start over with fresh.
I went on Etsy to see if they had any and was pleasantly surprised to find a vast amount and variety for some pretty good prices too. Here is the link if you want to look around.
This morning I made another pot after my shower and here it is, faithfully keeping my brew hot until I need another little pick-me-up, how fun is this?!

Have a great day friends! xo

Ooh cool! I have seen them for years and never really gave it much thought. How lovely on these grey damp days!
Clever. :)

Do you think it will work for tea?
I love the 60's retro look!
Interesting!! I used to have a carafe or two, but they are long gone. I imagine they would work for tea also.
But I want yours! That is the cutest thing I ever saw... :)

These are so amazing! Thanks for the link. Love the header picture.
Sounds and looks like a handy thing to have around, I looked at some of the others with the link you posted they’re all quite nice but I think I like your one the best it’s very nice indeed.

How stinkin' gorgeous is that! :) It's right off the set of MadMen! :)
I got my coffee maker this time with a carafe for that very reason. I'm so glad I did.

wow..seriously I would consider giving up espresso if I had a funky looking carafe like that...wow!..Jetson me over to the thrift store...my old Milita is not up to snuff!...Thanks for inspiring and I am on the hunt now...so much cooler looking than my "lots of folks coming over electric thingy"!
I love your inviting pics here. I am missing the NOrthwest this fall. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Such a cool idea! I could use one for my tea too :) XOL
