Is there a filter cone which fits snugly over ((not just sitting on top of) the mouth of thermos? Too many camping spill accidents!

If I understand what it is, there is not a filter cone, as such, but just the other day, my husband, who is not given to heaping praise on the likes of thermoses, commented on the wonder of the screw-on inner cap. It unscrews about half-way for pouring. Nothing spills, and because the cap stays on, the coffee stays hot. This is just the best thermos I have ever found. Contents stay hot far, far longer than in any other I have ever used, and there are no spills. I have one at home, another at the cottage. It is one indispensable dispenser.

My husband take thermos everytime to work. No spills at all. Really good thermos. Holding hot tea about 12 hours and 24 - warm.

If the plastic straw were to be removed, water would spill out. What keeps the water from spilling is that when the lid is shut it pinches the straw closed. The straw fits down inside, then spreads out like a gasket as it approaches the opening, then gets skinny straw-like on the other side and that is where you sip from. I am opposed to having my drinks or food in plastic. However, I think that my sister researched this and found out that it isn't the bad kind of plastic for food. Also, I keep only ice cold drinks in it. I think that the gases that leach into food from plastic do that under heat. I bought this thermos because it wasn't aluminum. I will not drink or eat from aluminum--not even aluminum foil or pots and pans. I LOVE my thermoses and bought two for my precious grandson. If I thought that they were unhealthy because of the plastic, I wouldn't have gotten them for him. I will not let him have (not do I have) plastic water bottles. Good luck in your search. You sound like a good, caring, informed mom. Learn about GMOs also.

Not that i am aware of. Maybe you can find a lid that is used for cup holders on water coolers. Not sure if dimensions are the same but maybe try that.

I use it on different thermos jugs, some have very small mouths. The base snaps off, and the filter part is left with three little legs. So basically you could make the coffee directly into a soda bottle. It's a little tippy! This is a super handy thing, and it's odd to watch the coffee drool down the outside of the filter. The base is kind of big, more suited to sitting on a mug. I like this thing, it's easy to clean and handles types of coffee that tend to clog paper filters.

I use a flat bottom ( 3 1/4" ) paper filter 8 - 12 cup with no problem of ground spill over. The brand is Brew Rite filter, USA made.

I use #4 filters. They're way too "tall" for the holder but keep all the grounds in the filter if I get a little too heavy handed pouring in the hot water. I love this gadget!

There is just one drip hole. There are ridges that hold the paper away from the side of the cone. A gold mesh filter would work, but it might drain too fast as compared with paper filters. I have heard recommendations to use #4 filters that are supposed to handle better sticking up beyond the cone. I have used a gold mesh filter in a small automatic drip machine, but never in a cone, so I can't say from direct experience. I use "Natural Brew" brand #2 filters. Amazon has a package of 800 for about 2¢ each. I use two or three tablespoons of coffee for a 10 oz mug, water just short of boiling. Great coffee. There is just one drip hole.

there's an outer plastic "cup" that this filter goes into. Otherwise just the filter has the coffee grounds go all over your Keurig. I got mine at Target, but I'm sure Amazon sells one. It's about $10.00,

The Stanley Thermos has a two inch opening, but if you wanted to buy this one to fit a non-stanley, I don't know if the thread pattern would work. The universal stopper has 4 threads that take up 5/8ths of an inch. Good luck.

Depend on the thermos itself. Does your current straw have a an inch between the bottom of the straw and the round flat plastic that sets on the bottom of the cap? Then no.

I don't have this exact same cone, so I don't know. The cones are designed to fit over a mug. If you are using a 12 oz mug, pour 4 ounces of hot water over the coffee and let filter through. Then pour another 8 ounces over the coffee. When it drains through, you're done.

Your question struck me as a great idea, especially for camping. So, out of curiosity, I put my drip coffee cone on my carafe, and it fit. It's a bit wobbly, but if you're careful, it seems like a workable plan.

There is slightly more than 3 inches between tray and filter basket. removing tray for bigger cup is a good idea that others mentioned.

it's a metal filter made by the company. It is supposed to fit perfectly to the Thermos, but mine is the very slightest bit too large, and this creates a small gap around the edge as it tries to fit in. So, the small gap lets coffee grounds escape into your coffee cup.

plastic filter holder sitting inside of a plastic receiver for holder, not insulated like a thermos

Only if it was a wide mouth Thermos. There are two holes that let coffee drip down and they are about 2 finger widths apart. I don't have a ruler handy but I would put the distance at about 1 3/4 inches. I use this filter in my camper for the space savings.

Honestly, I have no idea. I purchased this one for my husband's thermos and it fits just fine.
