Review on ๐Ÿถ Thermos FBB500SS4: Premium 16 Oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Beverage Bottle by Robert Goodlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

. It was about a year old and it was great. Does not suffer from build quality issues.

I've had it for about a year and it's excellent. Doesn't suffer from the build quality issues reported by reviewers in other thermoses. This is the one you need for hot liquids. If you only use it for colds, consider drinking straight from the bottle. As for hot, this bottle keeps it too hot to drink all day, so it's best to keep the contents hot and sip from a mug. The first one sent to me had a broken vacuum seal. There was a small tear near the bottom seam. It was obvious that this didn't work, the outside of the bottle shouldn't heat up when you pour hot liquid inside. Revain quickly replaced. The exchange went very well. I use it mainly for coffee and it holds the heat really well. If I start with a full bottle of coffee and drink small cups throughout the day, the last cup is still warm in the evening. If the liquid is not poured out, it will last longer. Just remember not to overtighten the cork the first time you fill it, as the bottle expands as it heats up and the cork can't get stuck in there. If this happens, run the top of the bottle under cold water and it will shrink enough to open. I would suggest pulling it all the way down and then loosening until you can see the gap between the cork and the top of the bottle.

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact design for easy portability and storage; stays cool on contact with hot liquids and no condensation with cold liquids
Cons
  • I will add later
