| Best bang for your buck. Period. | |
| I'll keep it short and sweet. This is the best value you will find while performing at a top notch level. I've been reading other reviews here, and they are pretty much all spot on. I only wish every...product I buy performs as well as this. | |
| Great! Excellent thermos for hot beverages | |
| This is an excellent product. I like to carry around hot coffee or tea with me throughout the day, and this does the trick. I often leave my house at 11 and don't get back until 10 at night, and this thermos will keep my beverage steaming hot even with me pouring a drink every so often. That's also a good point, the screw-top doesn't have to come completely out in order to pour; it can be screwed open half-way, and it serves as a convenient pouring spout. It's very well-designed--the pour stream is just the right speed, and when I'm done, nothing leaks over the edge and down the side of the canister.
The bottle itself is quite sturdy and, as someone mentioned, makes a very pleasant gong sound when struck with your finger. I dropped it once on the hard asphalt parking lot, and it came out unscathed. The cup top, however, is much softer apparently, and dented quite easily. It's not really damaged, I'm just a little upset that it dented when the rest of the bottle didn't. Overall, a very good choice of thermos if you like to have a hot drink all day long. | |
| Best travel "Thermos" out there | |
| I was quite frustrated by many similar designs that just didn't seem to work right, although at the time I had no idea how good a travel "thermos" should be. I thought all these 'munition' styled insulated bottles were made the same, but clearly they aren't.
The lid on my current travel thermos broke and I was in the market for a new one, and by accident ran into the Amazon reviews. I couldn't believe the claims. But it made sense, considering "clone" bottles cost half to 1/3rd the price of the Nissan Stainless, maybe clones weren't made with similar standards. I tried similar designs from Starbucks, Dicks Sporting Goods, and a kitchen supply store and none could keep liquids warm past 4 hours, much less hot. They all came with fancy pour spouts, a spring loaded pop-up or insta-open fancies that all broke in 1-2 years and were very difficult to clean [coffee in the spring mechanisms was impossible to clean without disassembling the non-user serviceable spouts]. What ever happened to a simple cork like cap? I was surprised by the Nissan. As it use is for travel, weight and size is important so while a tad bigger and heftier, keeping liquids _hot_ at least 8 hours or longer was far more important, and it did that very well. It had a simple screw on cap, that was superbly easy to clean. This is the one year anniversary of my bottle, and I couldn't be more happier. It has many dings and bumps today, dropped numerous times, treated without respect as it goes through hell all day and still rocks! Some quickie notes to help other readers: Heat retention: although this is claimed to past 12 hours, it depends on how much liquid remains in the bottle. The energy of the remaining liquid is extracted faster than if the bottle were full. If you don't precharge the bottle with boiling water for at least 10 minutes or longer, the liquid won't stay hot as long either. I drink small 'sake' size sips of coffee all day at work and with this bottle, 8 hours is the norm. Cleaning: for stainless steel, a simple method of removing coffee stains is baking soda, i.e., sodium bicarbonate ... it neutralizes the acids and the stains literally strip away from stainless steel. A tablespoon added to boiling water, soak for half hour or longer [for best results, recap the bottle and leave overnight] will restore a new shine with little to no scrubbing. Excellent product, it could last forever! | |
