Exceeds Expectations

I've only used it for hot drinks but it totally exceeded my expectations. We filled it with boiling water so anyone can use it with their powdered drink of choice (hot chocolate, hot cider, instant coffee, etc.). After that we had about half the contents left and we left it overnight to attend to in the morning as it was only water. When I finally poured it out almost 12 hours after the first fill, it was still so hot it burned my hand. I grabbed the nearest food thermometer and it read 137…

The practicality of the design gives it an edge over the Cambro.

Our company uses these thermal servers regularly. We have always used the Cambro brand successfully. Now that we've experimented with these Carlisles with Cambro, we can say we prefer Carlisles for a number of reasons. Locks are designed for heavy loads. Cambro buckles break easily. The vent is a very common style that can be swapped out for a water bottle at any store if needed. Volume is a true 5 gallons compared to the comparable Cambro at 4 3/4 gallons. This is good for us as we use them…

The blue had no gaskets or washers. They would all merge. Holes were not machined. Rough surfaces, large chips and production debris around holes. These jagged edges caught the existing washers and unthreaded them from the fittings as they were tightened, leaving gaps for fluid flow. There doesn't seem to

Durability, quality, warmth. All Aces

First I dumped this bad boy. TWICE! Once empty and once full. It wasn't drops like, "Oh, it's okay." They fell down from the body. Nothing happened to you. The spouts are not broken, the lid is intact, there are no explosions. It was great. Second, this evil Mama Jama kept 5g hot chocolate hot from 3:30am to 2:30pm. 11 hours it was sealed and there was a slight drop in temperature. I'm very impressed. Finally I thought I broke the dull faucet 10 seconds after opening the box. The faucet has 2…
