Is the thermal carafe truly better than the bv1900ts in functionality? does it still have the terrible inner curve preventing easy pouring?

As a dual wall stainless carafe, it does leave a bit of coffee (or water after rinsing) inside, it but it's honestly no big deal as it's not even a half-tablespoon worth of liquid left behind after tipping it upside down to empty it. A quick wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel and it's gone.

I have the bv1900ts and the carafe does not keep the coffee hot for very long. they say they have improved the carafe. can anyone confirm this?

I have no experience with the previous model, but I have owned the BV1901TS for about three weeks now. I make a full 8-cup carafe each and every morning and drink it over a period of 3.5 hours. As far as I am concerned, the coffee stays nice and hot. My only complaint is that Bonavita still has not managed to correct the design flaw that prevents you from fully draining the carafe. No matter how much you shake the thing while holding it upside down, the rim or lip on the inside traps some fluid. The only way to completely drain and dry the carafe is to use a towel and soak up all the fluid left inside. Hope this helps.

Where do you purchase the descaling powder? Directions say not to use vinegar?

When I asked Bonavita directly where I could buy the descaler that came with the coffee maker in the box , they replied that it's no longer made. And that Bonavita recommends the brand "Full Circle" cleaning powder. I have extremely hard water where I live and it's ruined at least 2 coffee makers because I relied on the old fashioned method of using Vinegar which did not even touch the heavy calcification plagued my former coffee makers. I've descaled now twice and a proper product has made a big difference in how much the coffee and flow are restored as soon as I descale. With extremely hard water, I descale after every 75 uses not the recommended 100. And it has really helped.

What is the difference, result-wise, btw this bv hanging filter basket machine and the similar 1900ts, an amazon choice?

I've owned the 1900TS for 7 years. Both this one and the Connoisseur both use flat bottom baskets. There are no other spec differences other than one basket fits on top of the carafe and one hangs from the drip assembly. I believe this was done to counter those who find taking the basket off and putting the lid on to be a lot of trouble. Now all they have to do is put the lid on. One difference could be that the coffee in the carafe may cool a little faster if you let it sit for awhile after brewing. I believe the mode with the basket on the carafe may hold in heat a little longer.
