I would call it a coffee carafe, because I'm not a 'gloid.
"Carafe"  is acceptable but generally implies a handle. "Pot" is unacceptable.

Google it

I'm with you on urn, but I think of carafes as pitchers that lack a handle

I guess when you're specific to coffee, it makes more sense.  If you just google carafe, you get a lot of pitchers without handles

If I was the OP I would have said coffee "thing"
White Midwesterners love to hate calling things what they are

Ok in fairness…no wonder there was a traffic jam there is absolutely no runway for accoutrements. That coffee station was clearly designed by someone who drinks their coffee black

Monday's are always the easiest! ("urn" is a frequent clue and I do the NYT (:gocho:) crossword daily which may or may not have influenced what called the thing I got my coffee from)
