[quote=Anonymous]I am helping someone who is entertaining potential clients over dinner at her very lovely home. She uses a regular coffee maker with a glass carafe to make a pot of drip coffee for after dinner and to go with desserts.

Should she use the glass carafe to serve the coffee at the table where the guests are sitting with their cups? Or pour it into cups at the counter and then take the filled cups to the table where the guests are sitting? Or use an insulated or ceramic carafe to pour all the coffee into, and then place that on the table where guests could serve themselves? We put the sugar and milk on the table, along with the cups and spoons as well as the desserts last time. Then we brought over the glass carafe and I poured it into the cups of those who wanted coffee. I then placed the glass carafe on the table over a trivet and over the next 30 minutes or so, people would ask for a refill or help themselves. But it got lukewarm without any insulation. We need a better way of doing this. Ideas?

A colleague of mine said that people should just get up and help themselves to more coffee in the kitchen where we could just put the glass carafe back on the coffee maker and use the warming feature on it. But that seems tacky since there are dirty dishes and other things in there. [/quote]
