Exactly what I had hoped for: Solid processed, not a single plastic or glass part. Coffee keeps warm longer than in a glass jug (please do not compare with a thermos flask because this pot here yes is open at the top). I would recommend this part do in the dishwasher (after two broken glass jugs (branded product) of comparable size was to buy a can of metal for me the reason. The pitcher pouring properly (not a given!). The handle remains cold enough. Optically also looker. What more could you want?
