A thermal coffee carafe for maintaining the thermal energy of a fluid contained within the carafe. The carafe has a heat resistant outer shell capable of resting on a conventional coffee maker appliance's heat generation surface without any deformation. The outer shell is of a shape similar to the appliance's factory supplied carafe so that the carafe of this invention may fit on the heat generation surface of the appliance in place of the factory supplied carafe. The carafe also has an interior globe which only comes in contact with the outer shell at a top opening. The interior globe is the portion of the carafe that holds warm liquids such as coffee. The cavity between the outer shell and the interior globe provides insulation to the contained liquids. The cavity is evacuated to a lower pressure than atmospheric or contains an insulator such as an aerogel or partially contains an insulator and is evacuated adjacent to the insulator.
