## Description

Review: Absolutely the best a coffee flask can be. - These flasks are easy to clean, they keep drinks hot for hours, never leak (please see comment on this below), have survived numerous drops (filled and unfilled). The clever double latch system is such an important feature on these flasks. When the release is pushed in, the lid opens on to a second step which depressurise the the flask (heated air above your hot drink) and stops the pressure throwing open the lid and flicking coffee across the room. After filling the flask with a hot beverage, I usually shake the flask a bit, release the pressure, click shut again and then throw it in my work bag. This has ensured that I never see a single drop leak. I've been using my earliest purchases of these for over 4 years - actually, due to me wanting to avoid work's communal kitchen areas during COVID. With routine cleaning, the first units have and continue to perform perfectly, without the need to buy any spare parts. These really are the very highest quality and I would feel lost without mine - which is why I now have one for each day of the week.
Review: Great product, has to be one of the best. - I have been using travel mugs for my work for years now and was ok with my Contigo mug but it just didn't hold the heat very well and you could feel it radiating out the heat which ment it cooled after an hour which for most would be acceptable. I on the other hand sip my coffee and because my hands on job I leave it in the car and this can be for a long periods of time, it's frustrating when you come back to a luke warm coffee. I saw this brand Zojirushi on a review page and it seemed to score hi on keeping things hotter for longer and so looked on here to see if they had any and though it's seems expensive £30 and the fact Zojirushi own review/sales jibber was not as shouting out about how amazing it is, as the independent review I went ahead and purchased it. It took a few days as it was not a prime product but when it did I was very pleased with the build quality. I don't know what the coatings on the outside but it feels like a premium product, and it performed amazing, the lid is very well made and is leak proof, it also has a lock just in case you press the open button by mistake not that is likely to happen. It felt comfortable to hold and it feels cool to the touch with no radiating heat. And finally the main point of keeping my coffee hot for hours this product just blew my mind, I have done alot of hours recently and on one occasion I left the fladk/mug at my office full of hot coffee and then forgot to grab it when I went home leaving it overnight for a full 24 hours. I had no expectations that the contents would be warm let alone hot so you can imagine how stunned I was that when I emptie the coffee was still hot. I can't recommend this enough but also aware it's seems alot for a travel mug.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this really keep liquids cold**
A: I make a cold drink and pop it in the fridge of an evening, from taking it out of the fridge in the morning, until arriving home at tea time it is still very cold, and the same for hot liquids, I drink black tea, and it's so hot I am unable to drink it in the first couple of hours.

**Q: Has anyone experience coffee with milk being fermented after 4hours in the flask? Thank you.**
A: Not just with coffee no… (I make espresso with frothed milk) but I have experienced this when I make a mocha which has considerably more milk content. Past a few hours it actually separates in the flask and goes utterly disgusting. Apart from that these flasks really do keep your drink hot all day!

**Q: Is it leak proof?**
A: This item contains safety lock which prevents drinks leaking out when you're on-the-go.

**Q: Is there anything to attach a caribiner to?**
A: Simple answer is NO.
However you could maybe buy some kind of pouch / holder for the flask and attach a caribiner to that.
The flasks however amazing and fabulous quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best thermos ever!
*by F***A on 16 April 2016*

Absolutely excellent thermos! It keeps liquids hot for hours and hours. If I fill it with just made tea at night, it is still too hot to drink in the morning! It is very sleek and slim in design. Easy to operate with one hand (not as easy and fast as the Contigos but certainly safer and more robust). Cleans easy, though you will need a brush to clean the bottle as it is too narrow to fit your hand. I have it for over a year and it works great and still going strong. Highly recommended. Update 2 years later: My original review stands after 2 years of frequent use. Excellent thermos, maintains temperature as day 1, paint finish as good as day 1, no chipping. Some staining internally from tea colouring, but it can be scrubbed away. It has come with me travelling, hiking and daily in the office. I have ordered another one because my partner broke the lock button on this one and finding a replacement stopper in Europe is almost impossible. We won't be disposing this one of course, it is still perfectly functional, just wouldn't trust it in my bag with the broken stopper. It's a great investment and has brought a lot of value in my life, so happy to get a second one.
