Collection: Carafes

Artful Carafes That Pour Personality Into Every Sip

These carafes are the kind of thing that end up on the table even when there’s nothing in them. Sculptural shapes, good colors, and the kind of glass that catches light just right. Whether it’s for tap water, fresh juice, or that fancy sparkling soda habit, these pieces bring personality to the pour.

There are glass carafes that look like they belong in a gallery, borosilicate water jugs for your bedside, and BPA-free juice jars that make weekday breakfasts feel like a vibe.

If you're here for the caffeine: the Yield Pourover Carafe is designed specifically for coffee lovers. It works as a pour-over coffeemaker, coffee server, or even a single-serve brewer (and makes up to 6 cups). Made from borosilicate glass (translation: strong, heat-resistant, and actually dishwasher safe), the Yield Pourer Carafe is both easy on the eyes and totally functional. The rest of the carafes? They're more about water, wine, and whatever else you feel like pouring.

FAQs

What is a carafe?
A carafe is a container for drinks, usually with a flared spout and no lid. Great for water, juice, or sometimes coffee. Basically, the laid-back sibling of the decanter.

What is a carafe vs decanter?
Decanters are often used for wine and have stoppers. Carafes are more casual with open tops, and perfect for anything from coffee to cocktails to water straight from the tap.

How to clean inside of a glass carafe?
Warm water and mild soap usually do the trick. For stubborn build-up, a little vinegar and baking soda goes a long way. Let it air dry upside down to avoid streaks. I long bristle brush can also do the trick.

What is a coffee carafe?
A coffee carafe is used to serve brewed coffee. In this collection, the Yield Pourover Carafe is the go-to for that, designed to function as a pour-over coffeemaker and coffee server.

What are the differences between a jug, a carafe, a decanter, and a pitcher?
Jugs usually have handles and are super practical. Carafes are sleeker and more stylish. Decanters are for wine and tend to be fancy. Pitchers are big, handled, and great for group drinks.
