Vacuum insulated coffee server

Abstract

A coffee server for serving brewed coffee is insulated with a partial vacuum pulled in a void ( ) between the walls of an outer vessel ( ) and an inner vessel ( ). The outer and inner vessels are fabricated of metal and have a top narrow neck opening ( ) and ( ) that are attached together with a hermetic seal ( ). The partial vacuum is for minimizing heat loss conducted through the combined vessels permitting coffee placed inside to retain its useable heat content for at least six hours without additional heat being added. A pour spout neck ( ) is fitted to the vessel necks and provides a liquid flow path when the server is tilted to pour coffee that is stored inside. An offset brew though stopper ( ) including a hinged cover ( ), is removably attached to the pour spout neck with the cover pivoted to permit coffee from a brewer to enter the server through an offset portion of the stopper during the filling process. A handle ( ) is attached to pour spout neck on one end and to the bottom of inner vessel on the other end for lifting and handling the server. A transparent tube ( ) with a nozzle ( ) on an open end is in communication with the bottom portion of the inner vessel and the tube is encased within the handle permitting visual indication of the liquid level through a slot in the handle.
