A carafe (/kəˈræf/) is a glass container with a flared lip used for serving liquids, especially wine and coffee.[1] Unlike the related decanter, carafes generally do not include stoppers.[2] Coffee pots included in coffee makers are also referred to as carafes in American English.
Usage[edit]
In France, carafes are commonly used to serve water.[3] To order a carafe d'eau ("carafe of water") is to request to be served (free) tap water rather than bottled water at a cost. In Greece, in tavernas or similar establishments, carafes are normally used to serve draught wine.
