THE BEST THERMOS I'VE EVER USED
930275
I took a bus-full of students on a winter school trip, and brought this thermos with me; it was my first use of this product.  After hours sitting in a cold school bus, I brought the thermos home and found that the tea remaining inside was still steaming hot when I poured it 11 hours later.  I love everything about this thoughtfully-manufactured product.  The collapsible handle is perfect for storing the thermos in bags and backpacks, allowing for the least amount of space used.  The inside lid seal is vacuum-tight.  The press-button open and the push-bar close make the lid extremely easy to pour from.  The lid doubles as a cup and even though the cup insert is plastic, I have not been bothered by any plastic taste when I'm in a pinch and have to use the lid cup. The interior of the thermos is all stainless; only the bottom of the lid brings silicon or plastic into contact with liquids, but I have yet to notice an aftertaste.  I can't recommend highly enough!.

Leave it to some engineers to produce one of the best products on the market.  The Nissan Thermos is excellent.  The high vacuum means that my coffee made today is still hot enough to drink tomorrow, no lie.  In one case I made coffee on a friday morning, filled the thermos full, and forgot about it. I use a french press and always pour into the thermos after it's made.  Sunday morning when I went to make coffee, I realized that the thermos was still full.  The coffee inside was still hot and almost as fresh as if I had just made it.

In my opinion, this high-vacuum thermos is the best on the market.

Another shock, the thermos came with a pamplet of plots and charts.  They were temperature vs. time plots comparing their high vacuum to an unspecified lower vacuum and a non-vacuum insulated thermos.  Being an engineer myself, I got a large kick out of this.

Only complaint: The rubber seal on the top is absorbant.  Since the second use, the seal has smelled of old coffee.  When I put tea in the thermos the next day it took on a hint of this smell.  The seal is a vital component of the thermos, without which it leaks and does not hold heat as well.

It holds just over a half pot of coffee (6 cups, according to Cuisinart).

Overall, the Nissan Stainless Steel briefcase bottle is, without a doubt, my favorite purchase from Amazon.com.

I've gone through a few insulated coffee mugs and never had one that kept my coffee hot like this thermos.
Even after an hour, it's still too hot for me to do anything except sip.  Somes if I want to drink it right away, I
have to take off the top and let it cool down.

Fits very nicely in my car's cup holder.

The first couple times I used the mug, I put on the top too tight.  Previous mugs required that you do that to keep them from dripping down your shirt.  There is no need to do that with this mug.
I twist on the top until it resists and that's it.  No dripping.
I dropped it once on concrete.  It suffered a couple dents but still keeping things hot hot hot.

I'm very glad I bought this mug!

I bought this thermos at Teavana years ago and love it -- I can make a cup of tea in the morning and forget about it, and six hours later the tea is still hot.  It seals up completely so you can just throw it in your bag.  The interior is stainless steel so you don't have to worry about plastic leaching chemicals or cracking, and you can scrub the heck out of it with steel wool if you need to get coffee/tea residue out.  It's held up for years and I am buying one for a friend as a gift.  The insulation capabilities are truly amazing.

I will NEVER buy another thermos/water container. This is buy far the absolute best container I have every bought. The only reason I bought another one is because my husband loved mine so much he took it. If you like cold drinks look no further! I have had a drink with ice in this container and left it for 12+ hours in my car in the Atlanta summer heat only to find my drink still ice cold when I return. It is super durable, looks great and exceeds expectations. Other brands may claim to do the same thing, but trust me they can't out perform. Even though the product says you shouldn't use it for hot liquids I do. It keeps everything hot although not quite as long. I've had piping hot tea for 8 hours.

High-quality and no leakage. I throw the thermos into my bag. I've never had any coffee leak out of it. And it keeps my coffee hot for an amazing amount of time.

This Thermos is by far the best I have used. It keeps my coffee hot the entire day. Do not bother with Stanley..

After reading waaaaaaay too many reviews on other brands/types of food thermoses, and too many lukewarm lunches reported by my husband in his other soup thermos, this one delivers.  I ordered the Stainless Steel, and before putting anything in it, I microwave water and fill the thermos, allowing it to sit about 2 minutes (and only 2 minutes at most at 6:00am I want to get our lunches packed so I can enjoy my coffee).  This one keeps food hot even if I fill it only halfway.  Ive put everything from soup to homemade ravioli to leftover pot roast in this thermos  still quite hot after 6 hours.

I love this thermos! It keeps my beverages hot or cold as one would expect from a thermos.  I had steaming water coming out of it after a full day of work! Sometimes, you think products will never even work despite manufactures claims!

The construction is great and I feel it is of high quality given today's often hurry up and make it cheap standards.

This is fantastic.  It does not leak and keeps my coffee or tea hot all day long.  In fact, it works so damn well that I have to place ICE CUBEs in my freshly brewed tea so that I can drink it during my commute. If I don't it will stay so hot that it is tough to drink.  Love this thing.  It is tough and reliable.

It does however have a funny taste when new due to offgassing in the rubber. I found this true with tea and even with coffee.  The seals appear to be silicone, which are generally harmless, but it does add an odd taste.  Definitely worth it to leave it overnight with some boiled water and run it through the seals.  I did this and the odd taste disappeared.

Even with the offgassing, I love this thing.  I tested this mug against a variety of thermoses and vacuum containers. It did very well, especially considering that this was the only one with an easy to poor top.  The two best thermoses required unscrewing of a cap and pouring into another container, where as this mug just needs push of a button.  You can't beat this design for convenience.

This thermos keeps liquid hotter for longer than any other cup I have tried.  I put hot water in it to warm it up a bit, then my coffee in the morning. Coffee if still pretty hot at 1:00pm in the afternoon.  I love it.

This thermos keeps my tea hot for hours upon hours; even when I leave it in my car in below freezing weather. The lid is wonderful and I really appreciate that I can take the components of the lid apart and thoroughly clean it. Over all, I love it!

This is a fabulous thermos that does what one expects of a proper thermos:  keeps things cold - for a LONG time.  I am a golfer and need (cool/cold) water over 4-5 hour period.  Any other thermos I bought just didn't cut it.  When I saw this one and saw it was made my "Thermos" and saw the price ($19.99 at the time 4 years ago, now about $23.95) I suspected it would be worth every penny and it was.  I am sometimes amazed that the water is still cool after a day or day and half in the car!!  Sadly, I left my trusty thermos at the carwash so this is a replacement.  Three of my friends have also bought this thermos and just love it.

This is an excellent thermos/mug. It looks nice, and it works amazingly well. Its easily the best thermos Ive owned.

I haven't used this thermos to keep any drinks cold, however, I have used it extensively to keep drinks hot. And for this purpose I am thrilled with it. I would have been happy if this thermos kept drinks hot for four hours, but it literally keeps my coffee hot for eight plus hours. I don't know you could ask for anything more.

If you're wanting/needing a thermos/mug, I recommend this one highly. I think youd have an exceedingly hard time finding a better one, if a better one even exists.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest evaluation of it.

If you have any questions about this thermos/mug, please feel free to ask, and I'll try my best to answer. I hope you found this review helpful.

This is one of the Best thermos I have ever had. Use it for soups and stays hot past lunch. Worth the price (it's a little higher than others, but maintains its heat so much better)  I use it almost daily. Comes with a spoon as well :) From what I read in other reviews, it has a long shelf life as well.  No spills or leaks either.

I love these Thermoses. I now have two, the larger one for cold water, and this one for hot tea!

They work perfectly. For cold, my water stays icy for at least 36 hours with the addition of a few ice cubes. For hot, my tea stays really hot for about 12 hours! This brand of thermos is also SAFE, very durable, easy to use wash!

I strongly recommend this over all other similar products I've tried!
