Grasp the fin of Carafe 3's Cap as it sweeps upward past the rear of
the container, insert a finger through the control hole and simply
tip the carafe forward to elicit a cool, clean sheet of water
falling evenly and predictably past the contoured spout. Combining
the durablity and color of plastic with the timeless warmth of wood
Carafe 3's cap interlocks with the container body via a slotted
channel - a larger version of the mechanism used in a camera "hot
shoe". So attached the cap becomes an integral part of the container
to be lifted, carried and poured with confidence. The combination
of programmable plastics and the warmth of wood allows Carafe 3
unlimited updates as market demands and tastes evolve over time.
