Carafes

Carafes are glass containers with a flared lip used for serving liquids, especially wine and coffee. Unlike decanters, carafes generally do not include stoppers. In France, carafes are commonly used to serve water, while in Greece, they are used to serve draught wine. Carafes are also used to serve coffee; these carafes come in glass or thermal variants used for certain purposes, such as storing larger amounts of coffee without affecting the flavour or keeping the coffee warm for extended periods. Libbey Inc., based in the United States, is a leading manufacturer of glassware, including carafes, offering a variety of designs suitable for both consumer and foodservice markets.
