Review on ๐Ÿถ THERMOS Stainless King 40 oz Vacuum-Insulated Beverage Bottle in Matte Steel by Bryan Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stupid handle, steel body looks gray but HOT WATER FOR A DAY!

First, bad, the handle is ridiculously stupid. It doesn't fold flat, it folds "flat". It's hard to get him in that position and it doesn't really stay that way. I'd rather have a firm grip than deal with this nonsense. Also, it's noisy, don't run and take out your earbuds loudly, but it rattles. And it might not matter that much to most people, but what I didn't realize was that the cap was brushed stainless steel and the body was more like brushed stainless steel. (which reads visually as grey, not silver or steel). I'm into aesthetics, so it was important to me. Not important enough to exchange, I finally decided because I read reviews that mentioned that painted finishes had chipped. I didn't really like the other colors either, would love to see it in pink or teal or even something with glitter! ๐Ÿ’– Of course I know it has limited sales opportunities, maybe that's why they don't. We need to appeal to the masses! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Good, and now for the good. This thermos is great. ๐Ÿ’— I tested the heat retention on myself because that's how I am. ๐Ÿค“ I preheated the thermos with very hot water for about 3 minutes. In the meantime, I boiled more water to use as the last liquid, I didn't plan on wasting coffee on this test. LAUGH OUT LOUD. After 10 and then 12 hours the water coming out was still smoking! After 24 hours the water was still so hot that it would sting my tongue if I drank it. I have many takeaway coffee mugs, some double walled, some metal, some glass or a variation of all of these and I have never found one that keeps liquid hot for 24 hours! So I can't drink straight from it, it's not exactly what I'd ideally want, but I'll use it to get extra coffee when I'm out in my car. I pour more coffee into my travel mug when it's empty.; I think it will work. It's very hard to find decaffeinated coffee while traveling, let alone great tasting decaffeinated coffee. I think for the price this is amazing, $22.99 for 40 ounces! When it gets hot outside again, I can't wait (!), I'll use that to take extra cold water with me. ๐ŸŒžDespite the chunky handle and the strange combination of metals, I would buy it again and/or give it as a gift. That's a great thermos!๐Ÿ‘
