Thermos - Charcoal Ultimate Flask (500ml), Reusable Insulated Stainless Steel Thermal Coffee Cup for Hot or Cold Drinks, Vacuum Sealed Water Flask with a Leak-Proof Lid, 24hr Hot/24hr Cold

The Thermos Ultiimate drinks flask unique feature is in its ability to keep drinks scalding hot for 18 hours and hot for 24 hours. I purchased 2 of the smaller size (previous model) one for me and one for my wife about 15 or more years ago and they have never failed to impress on how hot they kept our tea or coffee. They are quite tough and resilient . Unfortunately I dropped mine once too many times , but without blinking instinctively reordered a new one within a heartbeat. Ooops, my eagerness caused me to order the larger 900ml size in error. I will keep it for hot water when we do go out together, as I drink coffee and she drinks Tea. I have already ordered the smaller size ( currently available from TK Max at under £20 and ordered on line for collection tomorrow I can’t wait). Originally I used it for work knowing wherever I was driving to around the country I had a hot coffee to enjoy and even if half drunk a very warm coffee at the end of the day before I started to drive home. I found the smaller size quite adequate to last me throughout the day providing 2 cups of coffee throughout the day. Life without one is almost inconceivable, that is how impressive the Thermos Ultimate flask is. I will keep the larger 900ml size and not return it as even though it is too large for my regular use as I’m sure it will come in useful on the odd but critical situation e.g. Overnight keeping water hot for the morning on a Trip or if I’m in bed unwell a hot drink to hand all day or overnight. It will also be great for cold drinks if going on a picnic or to the seaside with family . It may seem expensive but it truly is a long term investment. 20 out of 10.

Used this flask for the first time today whilst out fell walking. Filled full with tea/milk at around 7am contents still hot when opened around 12pm for lunch stop, then again still hot at 3pm when I got back to my car for a drink. Very impressed no leaks in my rucksack and perfect size/lightweight keeps everything insulated and hot👍

I have previously owned Stanley Flasks and, despite their shortcomings, I continued to purchase them. However, I now recognize that this particular product, which I have used in the past, offers superior performance. Thermos products are known for their excellent heat retention and overall quality, consistently outperforming other brands. This item comes with a two-year guarantee, and based on my experience as a plant driver, I anticipate it will last significantly longer, even with regular use on a construction site. While its capacity is less than one liter, it is perfectly adequate for my daily tea consumption.

This may be expensive but it is worth every penny. Brilliant product - keeps drinks hot for hours. Ultimate is a great description.

Gets excellent reviews. Update: bought replacement and heat retention is truly amazing, just tested after 18 hours and water v hot, even without pre heating. Now have 2, using the other for soup and meals that can be easily get in and out. Ideal for long trips to a destination, as everything's stays really hot. Original review: Bought used in 'mint' condition. Unfortunately it was delivered severely dented, so return in progress. This seems to highlight it is made of lightweight metal and may explain why it has silicone bumpers. So lightness exchanged for being physically less robust and easily damaged! Looks like it was packed poorly and or not handled well, maybe considered a 'fragile' item

Excellent! Couldn’t be happier with this Thermos Ultimate flask - looked online for top recommendations and this was always in the top 5. It’s had everything from coffee, soup and chilli in it. It’s easy to clean, use and pack into a rucksack. So far we’ve had no accidents, leaks or breakages. It’s easy to use and does a fantastic job of keeping food and drinks warm.

Being an outdoor worker in Wales, I've owned a lot of different flasks - including quite a few Thermos ones. ALL of them before this one had a major flaw - once some of the liquid (tea) was consumed, the cold air that replaced the tea cooled the rest down to a tepid temperature within 4 hours. I've always disliked the easy-pour/flip lids (actually, particularly on the standard 1L Thermos flasks - I've had two and on both of them the stoppers gave up within a year), but this double screw one actually works well, and alongside the excellent build quality of this flask, even half full/half empty (to those philosophers out there - they're the SAME THING!!!) it's still piping hot, 8 hours later. I purchased the 900ml 3 months ago, and so far have appreciated its excellence. There's no denying it's expensive, but you get what you pay for - this isn't Thermocafe or standard Thermos, it's an elite well-designed, practical flask. The only downside for me was that I had to cut some rubber off the cup/lid to allow it to fit in my (Iveco Himatic) van's cup holders. I stopped to write this review in the middle of purchasing the 500ml version, for lunch soup. I'd recommend the 900ml version unreservedly, it is seriously the best flask I've ever owned in terms of keeping stuff hot.

Excellent vacuum flask in that the stopper does not leak, unlike the stainless Thermos model with the fancy valve. I use it for day hikes. Keeps drinks hot for at least 5 hours. Recommended.
