Looking for a Great Carafe?

November 15, 2008 by MomentsMom

Have you ever been to a restaurant and noticed a serving piece that you wished you owned and used in your own home?  Last month, while enjoying a delicious breakfast with my family, I saw this carafe:

and asked the waiter if the restaurant sold them or if he knew where I could buy one.  The restaurant did not sell them and he had no idea where they were from.

Enter my handy dandy iPhone.

I read a few key words on the carafe, entered them into Google on my iPhone and in a matter of minutes…voilá! I found the website for these thermal carafes.

Isn’t technology grand?

UPDATE (11.30.08):

Want something more elegant (as requested in an email to me)?  How about this one?

Or visit the Alfi website for a variety of well designed carafes.

Note: I did not receive any form of compensation for this post, I just like the carafes and thought it would be nice to share the story.

    Good job using those problem solving skills!
    Not sure I would have thought of that solution.
