Yep, the best part of the stainless carafes is that they don't cook the coffe on a hot plate...but they do need to be warmed before use.
This is also where the sealed system of the Cuisinart model I mentioned is a real benefit. Brewed coffee only has about 30 min before a reaction with oxygen starts to turn the flavor. If the coffee enters the carafe without much exposure to air, it can hold much longer with optimal flavor.
