Thermos ultimate 900ml 25 quid on amazon
I've been through many flasks over the past few years. This one has about the same thermal efficiency as the thermos king but is much much lighter. It's my flask of choice these days.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Never had you down as a train spotter.
Heads up for tartan travel blankets appearing next weekNever had you down as a train spotter.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Cheaper than the 500 ml version at the moment.
Seconded, one of the best I’ve ever used toss up between this and zjorushi for the absolute best
Thanks, ordered!
Could not resist!
I feel a sudden urge to buy one, but I dunno why I need it..
Fas est ab hoste doceri
Thanks for the heads up OP. Just ordered one. This will make a fantastic gift to my parents from my dog. I am not even joking.
Just what I needed (apparently)😀
looks good value for money and lightweight, I'm tempted although I've just bought a Thermocafe 1.0L
any recommendations for cup/mugs?
the mrs & I usually share a flask for a couple of brews or cups of soup, the flask usually has 1'mug' only
I've never understood Thermos flasks, I mean when you fill it with hot water it keeps it hot and when you fill it with cold water it keeps it cold. But how does is know?
Magic
No comparison between the thermocafe range and thermos's top line. If you buy the ultimate and do some tests yourself the difference will be obvious
Cups /mugs are a slightly more tricky area
I could ramble on but i would possible risk boring even myself.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
That's a lot of espresso even by my standards
Mugs zjorushi, kleancanteen (mkii lid) or the avex ones in costco, I seem to have an obsession with all things thermos related I've even got a cupboard dedicated to them lol.

Have had the same thermos for 25 years!, I "bought" it with tiger tokens that you used to get with Esso petrol. Fantastic quality flasks.
It's all about the lid
The problem with the contigo ones is that while it provides a good thermal barrier and liquid security it is pretty complicated which doesn't make for easy cleaning.
The zoji ones are good. I used to really like my simple 300ml lifeventure, also had a cheapy issue /bcb copy. I liked the simplicity of these and the fact they were pretty good at heat retention for 300ml. Don't know if they have gone downhill in recent years though. Bought a couple of LV ones recently and will report back in due course.
I'll give klean canteen a look. Wasnt aware of them before. Cheers.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Lid Verte?
Just because I can make a joke that only WIS can understand, doesn't mean I should.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
The newer contigo are far far easier to clean, however the kleancanteen ones as the name suggests are superb because the lid strips down completely in 5 seconds and goes back together again too. Well worth a look

I've been surfing klean kanteens for the past fifteen minutes and have been licking my computer screen in anticipation.
Ive remembered i have seen them before but wrote them off as too good to be true, the best looking flasks are rarely the good performers
But really like the look of the mid size wide neck flask with the new style cap. Think i might pull the trigger on one of those bad boys.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Whilst on the general subject - Chilly's water bottles - any good?
I've always used Sigg water bottlers (with the insulating jackets) but the Chilly's do get good reviews.

I love the fact that you are genuinely excited about thermos flasks
Reminded me of this:
DAVID Beckham goes shopping, and sees something interesting in the
kitchen department of a large department store.
"What's that?" he asks. "A Thermos flask," replies the assistant.
"What does it do?" asks Becks. The assistant tells him it keeps hot
things hot and cold things cold. Really impressed, Beckham buys one and
takes it
along to his next training session.
"Here, boys, look at this," Beckham says proudly. "It's a Thermos
flask."
The lads are impressed.
"What does it do?" they ask.
"It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold,"says David.
"And what have you got in it?" asks Roy Keane.
"Two cups of coffee and a choc ice," replies David.
I've got a few of them in different sizes and they're very hard to find fault with now, the new style cap is out the old style leaked. I'd put them on par with zjorushi and easier to clean, the only negative is they're not one hand opening or should I say not easy one hand opening. Try one I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I was.
I'm also grateful there another weirdo like me out there with a penchant for flasks and thermal mugs lol

one hand opening is of course essential if you are supping whilst cruising thermalcups.com
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
It can be done and I've got the knack now but it's not zjorushi or avex easy but miles easier to clean. Also the drink doesn't slop out when left open in my cup holder either so for me they're nigh on perfect, let me know your thoughts when it arrives.
We both know you have to buy one now lol

Are these easy to break down and clean thoroughly as most flasks I’ve bought in the past are a bugger to clean thoroughly.
Cheers.

If i didn't find it easy to clean it would not be on bignose daves list of recommended purchases
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
That’s good enough for me! 🤗
Ordered! Cheers.
Result!! I had a flask on the Christmas list for my dad for fishing. Just ordered 👍
One handed opening those flasks.. place between the thighs and twist?

Yep you can do that, I've got it with one hand now flicking the mechanism as I pick it up with my index finger.

Think I’ll ask my stepdaughter’s labrador (Ozzie) for one..........he spends lots of time with me thesedays! Ideal way for him to show how grateful he is.
I get v. frustrated with cheap flasks that are poor, might treat myself to one of these.

I haven't used chilli's but have a s'well and 2 hydro flasks. I can thoroughly recommend both but prefer the hydroflask as the neck is wider so it it easier to put ice in and to clean.

Isn't that also a quote from Cimino's 'The Deer Hunter'?
Went for the 592 wide mouth cafe cap
Pleased with it. Impressed by the cap design.
Will test it on my next trip to baffin island
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Superb, the cap design is one of the best I've seen from a cleaning perspective.

My Thermos arrived very impressed with it, certainly looks the part.
I will try it out when I venture out into the lakes over the Christmas period.
One thing puzzles me, the cleaning instructions say do not submerge?? Is it possibly to stop the water getting behind the plastics.
Unless it’s a generic thermos instruction sheet to cover a wide flask range.
I bought a Zojirushi about four years ago on foot of recommendations from this forum. It's been one of my best purchases. I use it every day and it's faultless.
Mine arrived few days ago (thanks OP!) but didn't get any instructions (don't think I missed it) just the flask in plastic bag with ring of card with model details around flask.
Agree it looks good - nice bronze finish which wasn't obvious from amazon picture. Very slight downside it isn't particularly stable (though only really important for filling).
Might buy another for Mrs K and chuck out some of the duff ones which occupy shelf in a kitchen cupboard.
My instructions were inside of flask.
Don't think mine were, I'll check but will be soggy now!
Can we see some pictures please?
