Light, effective and really useful!

This is a fantastic little guy. Keeps my tea hot for about 5-6 hours and pours well. The little cup on the lid is the perfect size and its all very easily cleanable. Overall, a really deal for the price. Could keep things hot a little longer, and be a little bigger, but there are of course other, more expensive models that do that.

Keeps liquid hot, it is a thermos

smaller thermos, larger surface area to volume ratio means it will lose heat faster, it obeys the law of physics but it is a nice product. I believe it also came with 2 travel mugs (which are OK, not great) and a case............or I am confused on the last part. Wife and I each bought a similar product for the other for Christmas, Great minds and all of that.

Perfect

I used this for the first time this morning to fill with hot chocolate for sledding with my daughter. It is 0 degrees out today and the thermos stayed in the car for over two hours. I took a sip when we got in the car and it burnt my tongue it was still so hot. I came home and poured it into coffee cups and it was too hot to drink. This after exposed to about 3 hours of freezing temp.

Works great

This bottle works great for me. I bring a cold drink to work every day. It only has to last until lunch time but its still very cold then - for prep I just pop the open bottle in the fridge overnight rather than cooling it with cold water first. Plus its a sleek looking bottle, and holds just the right amount for me. I got mine for only $10.

nice size, hot tea stays hot

I have had one of these for a week. It keeps my hot tea hot for at least 5 hours. I like that the lid doubles as a little tea cup. Note: as the instructions state, you need to put hot water in it, wait for 10 minutes, dump it out, and then add your hot liquid. It works great if you pre-warm it like this.

Junk

This thermos worked pretty well for about a month. My coffee was still hot enough after about 2.5 hours. Thats about what one should expect for a small thermos like this. But now the bottle gets hot to the touch and the coffee is cool after just 1 hour. Clearly it lost its vacuum between the inner and outer layers. Why doesnt Thermos make glass lined products any more? Glass liners never lose their vacuum.

Great for Work!

This item is compact and lightweight but still holds two 8 oz. cups of coffee. Fits neatly into my briefcase without being bulky. My sister saw it and had now ordered one also!

One of the best

We love this item. It fits perfectly in cup holders, briefcases, bags. It is the correct size to take two cups of tea or coffee to meetings. Highly recommend it.

Does not work!

The first time I tried this, I put in really hot tea and drank it about 5 hours later. By then it had already gotten cool. So I further tested this product by putting in really hot water (steaming) and waiting. In as little as 4 hours, the water had already turned luke warm. This is definitely not designed for drinking coffee/tea hours after you make it. You have to drink it probably within a couple hours of making it. And if you have to do that, whats the point of a thermos?
