Keeps drinks hot
I take this out with me while working, often I can only sip at my tea throughout the day, I only like my tea hot and this keeps it hot for 8 hours!Provided you dont over fill it, it doesn't leak.

Perfect for a small drink but doesn’t keep drinks hot for more than a few hours.
It’s the form factor I mostly like. Easy to pack in a small bag. It holds almost enough to satisfy my thirst when I go on an hour’s walk. It doesn’t keep my drinks hot for long. If you use it for soup then don’t use it for tea another time because the smell resides. The way I eventually overcame the strong smelling drinks to lighter flavoured drinks is by cleaning it with fresh lemon juice.Oh yeah… I love the colour.

Smart and functional
My wife uses this to take milk to work for her coffee throughout the day and is pleased with it. Looks smart.

Nice size
I love this but unfortunately the metal cap detached from inner lid. So have to remove metal cap before tightening or opening as there's no grip now 🙄

Great little flask
I use this to take milk for coffee at work. I have also used it to hold coffee when travelling and it does a great job of keeping it hot. It does have quite a small capacity though so I would check if it will hold enough liquid to meet your needs.

Does what it says on the label
Good strong watertight container, and keeps things lovely and cold. Not tried anything hot yet, would definitely recommend.

Almost perfect
I have a Contigo Autoseal, that I do still love, but it is quite big and bulky and a pain to carry around unless I'm carrying a big bag. So when I saw this come up in one of my amazon recommendations and read the reviews, I thought it would be a perfect substitute for the days I don't want to carry my Contigo. And I'm happy to say it definitely delivers, but it's not without faults:Pros:- It is very sleak and compact. It fits nicely into all the bags I have including a really slim satchel I often carry which I'd have to play tetris with the other items in the bag to get my Contigo to fit.- It has a nice thin rubber lip/covering on the inside rim, so it's very comfortable to drink straight from the thermos- It really does keep drinks hot for a decent amount of time. If you put boiled or near boiled liquid in it it'll stay hot (not warm) for at least 4hrs. Possibly longer, but I've alwasy finished drinking my beverage by this point. You'll get about 3hrs out of any beverages that aren't that hot (e.g., milky coffee) before they start to cool down.- It's very easy to screw the cap on and off, which has been a problem with other thermoses I've had in the past; Makes it that much easier to drink from when you're walking or on transport.- Very easy to clean. One thing I hate about my Contigo is all the fiddly bits where liquid can hide in it's complex cap. That said, the pod's opening is quite small so unless you're happy to just swirl/shake some soapy water around in it, then only a thin bottle or glass brush will fit into it.- Aesthetically it is very pleasing and I often get asked about it by people who see it for the first time. It almost seems rhetorical to say it looks like a thermos Apple built.Cons:- The rubber piece that makes it comfortable to drink from can come off easier than you expect. The first time I opened the thermos and pulled on the cap it actually flew off! Now I open the cap with care it just rises up a bit sometimes when you unscrew it. But it's easy to push back down. At least it can be taken all the way off fairly easily so you can clean between it and the stainless still it surrounds if liquid gets trapped there.- It could do with a definitive fill line, or instructions about how far you can fill it. The 2nd time I used it, when I took it out of my bag (it was lying on it's side), I saw a thin ring of coffee around the bottom of the cap. At first I thought the pod was defective, but after some experimentation I found that if you overfill it slighty, liquid won't spill over when you screw the cap on, but it won't let you screw the cap on completely either which means it'll eventually start leaking. I guess I thought I had screwed it on completely when I hadn't. Now I always make sure I fill it just below the lowest intendation and screw the cap on as tightly as possible. Since then I haven't had a problem with it leaking.- One thing the Contingo definitely has over this is no drip. When unscrewing the top, especially if the thermos hasn't been upright, you'll likely get a few drips off the cap when you move it or flip it upside down right away.Finally, this isn't a positive or negative, but more of an FYI: You won't get a full mug's worth in it. It's more of a tea cup capacity. If you compare it to high street coffee chains, it holds about the equivalent of a small coffee from Nero, or just over 3/4 of a small/tall from one of the other major chains. I know this as I often pour coffee from one of these shops in this so I can continue to sip from it at my desk hours later.All in all a very worthy purchase for those always on the go or who like to take their time with their hot beverages.
