Question for coffee drinkers. What do you feel is a good thermos for keeping coffee hot all morning? What kind of cost is it?

Beets · « **Reply #1 on:** Jan 08, 2015, 05:06 PM »

I have had a Stanley thermos for almost 20yrs and still works great. Wife bought me a new one(Aladdin) and its nice too,doesn't roll when you lay it down.
I also pour hot water in mine for a few mins before my coffee to ensure it stays warm all day.
They run around $25-30 depending on size.

I've had good luck with a vaccuum sealed thermos in stainless steel. I believe its a nissan and don't know the cost because I won it in a fishing derby.

The classic Stanley Thermos

I bought mine for less than $20, but that was about 20 years ago.

Still works great keeps the coffee good and hot.

Get a wide mouth and you can take hot food with you like chili or stew.

Good luck

I have a StanleyThermos brand 1985,built like a tank. Keeps my coffee pretty hot all day. The trick is to put boiling water in it for 10 or 15 min before You pat your Coffee in .

i can't stand stainless steel thermos. the stainless changes the flavor and can't keep fluid as hot as glass.
look for glass lined.

A good coffee mug is Yeti mug to go along with a Stanley thermos

I use a Thermos brand stainless thermos not sure which one... It has a dark grey hammermill finish, it was around $30. I fill it with boiling water at home then when I stop for breakfast the waitress pours out the water and adds my coffee. I get 2 large mugs on the ice and one for the ride home... the last is as hot as the first.

Vacuum insulated thermos...thermos, only way to go, I've been using one for about 7 years, it will keep hot tea hot the whole day on ice or the duck blind. Put it in from the pot and can't drink it 7 hours later it's so hot.

Rebelss, reminded me that I have a ROCK thermos, I painted it last season couldn't remember what kind it was. If I buy another it's going to be one of those.

Stanley. I have a 2 quart that I've had for thirty plus years. Heat it up with boiling water before my coffee goes in and it stays hot for quite a long time. Has made many duck hunting and fishing trips with me. And it does have a lifetime warranty.

Idahogator · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 08, 2015, 05:29 PM »

I went for the convenience of a small flip-up on a wide mouth, negating the need to remove the entire cap/lid and when primed, (properly), keeps hot liquids too dang hot to gulp, late into the 2nd day, perfect for out in the cold. It's a tad large, but no need to fill it.

I can't find glass lined thermos anymore. It's one of the first thing I look for in a garage sale.

Green Stanley thermos. Does not leak! Most out there do. Boil some water and pour it in your Stanley and let it sit a bit and then pour out and put coffee in it stays charged up warm all day even left in your truck for a long time.

Rebelss · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 08, 2015, 05:48 PM »

The Rock, by Thermos. I've got 'em all. Outperforms that green one hands down. Period. Tested them side by side on the ice in Northern Minnesota fishing, more than once. When we got home, used my digital cooking temp gauge to measure the liquid temp. Rock was ten degrees warmer.

right on, stainless is nasty!!
you can find carafes that are glass lined on-line still tho and thats what i use.
check amazon, they had some to pick from.
the coffee flavor still changes in glass, but not as fast, especially if you use creamers or milk.

mine is old and gets knocked around hard in the ice shanty tub, sled, car, van. truck, boat and moped.

UPDATE
found you some. must be others agree about the flavor.

heres a review about stainless changing the flavor of liquids. (for the non-believers), but i already know as do a few others at least.

reason for that is that the liners break when dropped. go with a Stanley.

tracksnorth · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 08, 2015, 05:52 PM »

my best advice would be to look around at garage sales and flea markets for stanleys. all the stanleys sold these days in stores are pretty good thermos's but they don't hold a candle to the old american made ones. the old ones keep heat far longer than the new ones and are far better built. i picked up two for five dollars last year as a matter of fact.

I think I have found the best way for a piping hot cup of coffee, at any time of day...

I have a stanley that was evidently put away wet because it has a terrible stink inside it. Tried several times but cannot remove the smell. Any ideas? Sorry to hijack but I thought one of you garage sale stanley hunters may have encountered the same situation.

I agree. I had an American made one that I bought back in the late 70's. It finally got so beat up that I sent it in for a new one. What a piece of crap. No matter how long I let it stand with boiling water before filling it with coffee, it didn't stay hot. Finally gave it to Good Will. I have an Aladdin that was a Christmas gift a few years ago. Have not used it much, but when I have it has kept my coffee hot.

Another Stanley guy here. As others stated, pour boiling water in and let set for a few minutes, dump out water and add hot beverage of choice.
Better add; mine are old too, maybe the new ones aren't as good.

It seems no one likes the small flip up, on the Nissan Stanley Wide mouth.
