You know, most of these things are just lined with plastic. You might as well just use plastic containers.

OP, are you me? I just bought one of these and filled it with hot tea.

[Anonymous No.5074912]

I don't really see the problem here.

Plastic is a significantly less conductive material than stainless steel, so it should keep the heat/cold in for longer than old thermoses. Unless i'm missing something, plastic seems best.

That doesnt sound one bit interesting or even edible.

You are missing something. A proper thermos is a vacuum flask. Pic related. Instead of insulation between the inside and outside it contains a vacuum. Plastic is not strong enough for that. So, if your "thermos" is made of plastic that means it's not a vacuum flask, rather it's just insulated the traditional style. A proper thermos is made of either stainless or glass, as another poster mentioned above. The glass ones are silvered on the inside to reduce heat loss via radiation, which makes them even better than stainless, though they are more fragile.

Pic related. Or go look up "thermos bottle" on Wikipedia.

Wow that's really sad when a restaurant can't take criticism. It just makes them look petty.

>>5074912
Well plastic is also supposed to retain flavors and scents, so if you used it mainly for coffee and switched over to another liquid in theory there might be traces of coffee flavor in your new liquid. I got a plastic jar I put M&Ms in for a month and it took ages to get that chocolate smell out of it.

Yoooo

My dad has that exact one. Maybe not exact, but he's had his like 15 fucking years and it works just the same as always.

[Anonymous No.5075134]

>>5075082
We had one, but it was removed because a couple of assholes said the sound of it brewing was a distraction. I wish I was making this up, but ever since I moved to San Francisco for this job last summer I've learned to hate everyone that I work with on a personal level. The only semi-normal individual in my boss, but even they have some irritating as hell "quirks".

It paid significantly more than I was making at my old job in Ohio, and it has a recognizable name. I won't be staying for much longer though, once I hit the one year mark I'm moving back east.

>>5075142
Not even risking it when my thermos has served me well since the week before Halloween. I've had HR discussions already after working out in the company gym and using a scented a body wash before work, for wearing headphones while working, and for "poor team spirit".

Thermos flasks are awesome, there's nothing like being able to stop and have a hot drink when you're out skiing, hiking, or cycling on a cold winter day.
