The Unbreakable Thermal Bottle

Not sure why we have to spend $50 to get a thermos that performs the same as the thermos' under $10 did a while ago. Not new technology, I guess everything is just made half-as#$d now and were expected to live with it.Regardless though, on the outside this is a better quality and better made thermos than most. It's components (the lid, the stopper, etc) are up-scaled as well. It definitely looks well made. It's also heavier than other thermos'. Idk how much difference that makes but it doesn't have the cheap feel that so many things do now-a-days.Performance wise, I only use it for hot coffee, nothing cold. I preheat the thermos with hot tap water (about 140 degrees) for 5-10 minutes before filling with hot coffee. The thermos then goes into a backpack which stays at a room temp of about 70-75 degrees. I tested the thermos for the 12 hours that I normally need and the coffee was still very hot. Certainly satisfying enough for me and I like my coffee fairly hot.I also tested at 18 and 24 hours just because, and yes the coffee is still hotter than warm. At that point, the coffee is at a temp that still has some steam but is easily drinkable and immediately becomes only warm if you add cold milk or cream to it. It also gets cold pretty fast so idk if that is what some people consider actually "hot". Also, since I don't work or travel in a cold environment I can't comment on it's performance if left in a cold car or truck well into a shift.I bought the Thermos through Amazon Warehouse for about 1/2 of it's current price of $50. For the price I paid, I'm happy. If it lasts like some of my Stanley Thermos' from the old days I'll be very, very happy.I do wish it held more than 25 ounces but given the way that it is made, a larger capacity thermos would be huge and very heavy even empty.So if you don't mind spending a significant chunk of change on a thermos and want enough coffee/tea/etc for a one time refill of your large Yeti/RTIC/Ozark trails tumbler than this should suit your needs.

I make my own coffee, and I take it with me every working morning. I have had many different vacuum bottles, and they have all been pretty bad in their own way. However, this is unlike anything I have had. I first bought the 1.4 qt. version, and it was just too big, and heavy, for that matter. I now have the 25 oz. version, and its perfect for me. I preheat, so that helps. I am usually done drinking coffee by lunch, and this keeps it very hot. The cup is nice and heavy, and it has a rubber bottom that is nice. The machining on this thing is really nice. It doesn't seem to leak. Recommend.12/2021: I had this a fair bit of time now, and my original review stands. I was pre-heating it, but found it really didn't need it. The stopper is squeaky, but it's a silicone-type squeak, and I know it is sealing really well. I make my coffee about 0500, and I'm usually done drinking by 10/12. Sometimes I go past 1200, and when I do it is still pretty warm, not hot. I feel this is better than the standard model, and I feel it's worth the money.

Works as advertised. I work in an office. I need hot coffee until lunch and this Stanley gets me there. Not a big ask, compared to folks outside who will definitely put this through it's paces.The design of the stopper and cup prevents contact with plastic. So, it will not transfer taste after prolonged use. This was the only model line I could find with this feature.The best part is the cup, by far. With a wide, flat base, with a seemingly tough silicone bottom, it's secure on most surfaces. It seems to grab the surface when I set it down.I'm a bit disappointed with the delivery. It arrived with multiple scuffs and a couple minor dings. Very minor. It wasn't used but faced some rough travel. It would have been apparent to anyone handling it for shipping. It was on sale, so I'll deal. If it was full price, I would have sent it back. I'm happy with it, but not over the moon due to the cosmetic issues.

This will keep coffee hot all day. One morning I left it at home and when I got home 10 hours later it still was hot so I took a thermometer and measured 178 degrees. They market this to be strong and rugged but it is not. Every time you drop it will get dings on it. The coating on the other bottles they offer is far better. This coating will scratch every time it is dropped.

This is a great thermos. Though the capacity is smaller than most standard thermoses, it compensates with well-constructed insulation. If you're ice fishing or hunting in the Northern US or Canada, this will keep your coffee warm for a long time. I'm living in South Colorado, and I would have preferred something lightweight or less insulated for coffee or tea, but my biggest issue with this thermos was it didn't have a handle. I purchased this model because of its sleek, black design and managed to rig some paracord around the top/bottom to function as a carrying strap. No problems.This thermos is really well constructed. Though the capacity is approximately 25oz, it will keep your drinks hot all day, even in cold temperatures. 5/5 stars
