Recommend A Good Thermos Jug?

[npalen]

Is there a thermos on the market that will keep coffee hot for several hours? I have a thermos brand jug but an hour is about all I can get out of it.

I have or had 2 thermos bottles. Old one "40 years" made in USA keeps drinks warm for hours. The newer one only good good for an hour .
So I cut the new one ,made in China, open and found no insulation. It was not a glass vacumn bottle. They are both stainless or something bottles. Try and find one that costs more and is made in North America.

I have the Stanley brand 2 qt. thermos. All stainless steel inside, not glass. It does a good job keeping coffee hot for about 4 hours. After that it's still drinkable but lukewarm.

Wife bought me a 20 oz. Contigo travel mug also S.S. It claims to keep hot fluids hot for 7 hours and cold things cold for 18 hours. But at 20 oz. I usually finish it way before it can get cold. I do know for a fact it keeps coffee hot for 4 hours. I take it to work in the morning and one day set it down upon arriving due to an emergency and forgot about it. When I remembered where I put it 4 hours had gone by. I was about ready to dump it but when I took the lid off steam came out. I tried it and it was still hot.
I've had Thermos brand also over the years.
If yours doesn't keep liquids hot send it back to Thermos. Maybe a seal or something isn't right and may be covered under warranty.

Stanly will cover theirs for about 25 years or so. Mine was keeping stuff hot for about 2 hours. Called and had a new one in less than a week, keeps stuff hot for 4 to 6 hot . I have a Kleen Kanteen and it will keeps stuff hot for 6 hours or so and I have had ice left after 10 hours.

FWIW...It will help a lot if you warm the thermos with near boiling water before putting the coffee,soup etc. in...

Ditto on the Stanley "Alladin"...had one for 8 years- worked great!

Larger volume seems to help. We picked up a 2 Qt. Stanley SS thermos at Costco quite a while back & it keeps hot coffee hot all day if not opened (it'll cool a little bit each time you open/pour so the more often it is opened, the sooner it cools...)

I have good service from a Nissan brand thermos I bought from Cabelas.

Hydro Flask, lightweight aluminum, keeps it hot or cold, whichever you prefer.
I quit carrying my Aladin being the HF is lighter.
