Ever hear of a thermos bottle?

You have a good point, but this is an immersion style maker, not a pour-over setup like you suggest. The immersion method results in much richer tasting coffee, as the oils from the coffee stay in the solution, as opposed to being absorbed or caught in the filter. The better comparison would be a $30 Bodum french press, which is essentially the same thing as the Eva Solo, only less elegantly designed. If you buy the Eva Solo, you're mostly paying for the design , not the functionality. Those who care about design and appearance will enjoy the Eva Solo, but if you don't care about that, just get a cheap Bodum. Regardless, get a thermos as this person suggests and pour the coffee into it when it's finished brewing--it will keep your coffee warm all day!

I have not used it, but I found that the Solar Thermos heated water quite quickly on it's own.

No. It leaks. I had LOTS of trouble getting the lid to screw on level. This resulted in a dribble from the top when I tipped it on it's side to check if it would leak. I was NOT happy. I wanted to carry this in my backpack for hiking. Can not do with a leaky thermos. It is SO pretty I really wanted to keep it. But for this price, a leaky thermos has to go back! Darn.

It is, but I still wouldn't buy it. The lid leaks everywhere, so if you try to drink something on the go, you'll get it all over you.

I wouldn't try it. Although the inside liner and outside case are metal, there are still parts of the bottle that are plastic. Also, this is an *insulated* bottle - even if it were all-metal, you'd have to get it blazing hot on the outside to heat something on the inside. Would you try the same thing with a Thermos® bottle?

No it does not work like a thermos. It has to be plugged in to keep foods hot. And it is not used to keep foods cold.

No, it is a double layer bottle which has an additional foam layer for thermal insulation. Unfortunately I won't recommend this product because it leaks.

If you are referring to the blue-coloring ring inside the thermos top, which serves as a seal and prevents leakage, I've not had to search for one. However, one time, when washing the top, the blue color "O-ring" came out. I I did not realize it. Consequently, as I drank water, it spilled on me. So, I went home, found the "O-ring," and put back in place. I suggest contacting Thermos Customer Service. Explain the problem and ask for it to be replaced.

This is a high quality thermos. The cap is non-metal. It is a single walled thermos if you were unaware. It is not designed to keep liquids at desired temperature. I have no complaints about the thermos.

I had the same experience. Seals unavailable, but happy to sell me a complete lid for $7.00 (On top of the $35.00 I paid for the mug). They are completely aware of this design flaw, but view it as a way to make a buck, not support their customers. Thermos has lost me as one. "For want of an o-ring, the customer was lost".

Yeah, that would fit. Not something tall like a thermos but a mug would fit fine.

Ive never seen one but I really haven't searched for one. I do occasionally reuse a used cup...demo of how to do this is on YouTube

It would bot be the most efficient way. It's made for a cup. Doesnt hold enough tea for a thermos.

It won't do the work of a Thermos. I would be most doubtful that this bottle is a good one in which to carry water that is boiling hot. I carry a canteen cup for the really hot water. And I carry my Nalgene for the best drinking water and as a source of excellent water to boil for coffee, tea, freeze dried food, etc.

I was looking around for that, too. I actually ended up getting the Thermos 10-oz. "Thermos Flower Food Jar - Purple (10 oz.)" (there are also "fashion" and "lava" designs) because the cap was stainless steel...though only on the outside, as it turned out. All the food jars I've been able to actually examine in person have plastic on the inside of the lid, with plastic threads for the screw-top and sometimes a kind of silicone-type O-ring as well. Having read a lot of mixed and poor reviews for stainless-steel caps on water bottles, I suspect it's pretty hard to get a good, easy-closing seal with stainless steel on stainless steel....

I think it's better than a thermos bottle. It keeps my coffee hot well into the afternoon.

Yes. I bought this thermos mug so that i could put it in a backpack with important papers and bike to work. As long as it is screwed on correctly, it will not leak. I've have it for two years without any flaws. It is indestructible and worth the high price.
