great insulation
first off it's a little big to be carrying casually around but not so big that it's a real hassle. My mom worries about water spots but if you wipe it dry it's no problem.
I've used mine for hot drinks and cold. It kept iced coffee cold all morning and afternoon. I didn't try to keep it around any longer. I know it keeps hot water hot all night because I have to go to school really early and it's freezing where I live. So I tried to keep some hot water around so I don't have to boil water in the morning for my instant oatmeal. It worked great. Another time I had green tea with my dinner and this was around 6:30 or 7pm. I couldn't finish it all by bed time so I had about a cupful left (6 oz or so). I decided what the heck, ... Read More
Keeps things as cold as it keeps them hot
Temperature:
Well, I live in Florida so I purchased this thermous to keep my drinks cool; and if you know anything about black cars and water bottles during the summer heat in any sub-tropic region, then you'll know that within an hour any water in a black car will be hot enough to scald your mouth. This thermous has repeditively kept my water at a refreshing 40 or so degrees after 2-5 hours in a black car. Now I might want to warn you that the outside of the thermous is often too hot to hold comfortably, but the water on the inside is always, always still very, very cold.
Taste:
None. The Nissan thermous gives off no metallic taste that I can detect.
Cleaning:
I have not washed the thermous in the dish ... Read More
Delivers as Promised
I love this thermos. Unlike most products I buy, I actually read the directions on this one. I fill it with hot water while I'm getting ready in the morning, then fill it with coffee before leaving for work. I ride my motorcycle about 20 miles each morning with the thermos strapped to the back and my coffee is still piping hot when I get to my desk. I would definitely buy it again.
no better than any other thermos
I'm giving this 2 stars just for its looks. It is a nice-looking thermos but so far has not proven any better at keeping things hot than any other one on the market. I poured boiling water into the thermos, sealed it and let it sit for 20 minutes or so. I emptied the water, put a filter cone filled with coffee on top and poured boiling water through that into the thermos. Sealed it up, took it to work, had a small cup of coffee. About 5 hours later, mid-afternoon, I poured what was not really hot coffee for a 2nd small cup and when I went to freshen that it was totally luke warm. I suppose I could buy a little coffee maker, brew the coffee in that and pour that straight into the thermos, but doing it the way I am, which may inherently result ... Read More
Great Thermos
There isn't much to say about a thermos. This works exactly like I wanted it to. It keeps my tea hot all day, it pours nicely into its cup-lid, and it's easy to get to work. The only minor complaint I have is that the opening is fairly small, but I think it's worth it for the benefit of a conveniently sized thermos. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who would be using it on a daily basis.
