Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated thermos travels to work or recreation easily, and for hours afterward, coffee, tea, or broth will still be hot. Or lemonade, iced tea, or a sports drink will still be chilled. Tapered toward the top and slim enough (11 inches high, 3 inches in diameter at bottom) to safely pour with one hand, it slips into a briefcase or backpack. Pouring is a snap--twist off the cup, which holds 6 ounces of liquid, twist the stopper a few turns and pour through a no-drip slot (there's one for righthanders, another for lefthanders) without removing the stopper. Fine threading ensures the stopper seals tightly, while the exterior has a handsome satin finish. The smooth interior cleans with sponge or cloth, and preheating or prechilling with hot or cold water is recommended. --Fred Brack

 great insulation October 1, 2008

first off it's a little big to be carrying casually around but not so big that it's a real hassle. My mom worries about water spots but if you wipe it dry it's no problem.
I've used mine for hot drinks and cold. It kept iced coffee cold all morning and afternoon. I didn't try to keep it around any longer. I know it keeps hot water hot all night because I have to go to school really early and it's freezing where I live. So I tried to keep some hot water around so I don't have to boil water in the morning for my instant oatmeal. It worked great. Another time I had green tea with my dinner and this was around 6:30 or 7pm. I couldn't finish it all by bed time so I had about a cupful left (6 oz or so). I decided what the heck, i'll see if it's still good in the morning. I woke up a little before 7am and it was the perfect temperature! It was still hot but not steaming hot. It's the temperature where your drink has cool down enough to gulp it down instead of taking tiny sips.
It's really easy to keep clean. Best way is to wash it right after you're done. One time I didn't wash it til a day later. I stuck a scrub in there and used a chopstick to move it up and down the side. I rinsed with hot water.
Keeps things as cold as it keeps them hot September 11, 2008
Joshua River (Titusville, FL USA)
Temperature:
Well, I live in Florida so I purchased this thermous to keep my drinks cool; and if you know anything about black cars and water bottles during the summer heat in any sub-tropic region, then you'll know that within an hour any water in a black car will be hot enough to scald your mouth. This thermous has repeditively kept my water at a refreshing 40 or so degrees after 2-5 hours in a black car. Now I might want to warn you that the outside of the thermous is often too hot to hold comfortably, but the water on the inside is always, always still very, very cold.
Taste:
None. The Nissan thermous gives off no metallic taste that I can detect.
Cleaning:
I have not washed the thermous in the dish washer as it is cautioned against both online and in the product's manual. So instead I followed the advice of another reviewer and have found their method simple and effective. All that is needed is a little dish soap and some hot water.
1)Pour a small amount of dish soap into the thermous
2)Pour in some hot water
3)Cap the thermous with your hand and shake vigorously
4)Rinse with water several times
So far this method has worked well, including one instance where I accidentally left water in it partially uncapped for two days. The smell was unbareable, but after washing it as usual there was no smell whatsoever.
Overall strength of design:
It seems to of held up rather well for the five weeks I've had it so far. However, contrary to many of the reviews I've read about it, it does dent. If dropped slightly off kilter of the center, from nearly any height, onto a hard surface, it will dent. However, if dropped on its side it seems that it only scratches minorly. Oh yes, and it does scratch if you're rough on your stuff like I am. But I personally like the look.
I also would like to mention that I use this thermous in a salt water environment regularly and I've had no rust issues to-date. Though I would recommend washing in fresh water after the fact.
Manufacturer:
If your into the whole boycott of products made in China, then I'm afraid you will have to search elsewhere, because this, like pretty much everything else nowadays, is made in China.
Conclusion:
Though I was disappointed that the thermous is not 'invincible' like I've seen claimed, I am extremely happy with its ability to keep my water cold.

I love this thermos. Unlike most products I buy, I actually read the directions on this one. I fill it with hot water while I'm getting ready in the morning, then fill it with coffee before leaving for work. I ride my motorcycle about 20 miles each morning with the thermos strapped to the back and my coffee is still piping hot when I get to my desk. I would definitely buy it again.
 no better than any other thermos August 6, 2008

I'm giving this 2 stars just for its looks. It is a nice-looking thermos but so far has not proven any better at keeping things hot than any other one on the market. I poured boiling water into the thermos, sealed it and let it sit for 20 minutes or so. I emptied the water, put a filter cone filled with coffee on top and poured boiling water through that into the thermos. Sealed it up, took it to work, had a small cup of coffee. About 5 hours later, mid-afternoon, I poured what was not really hot coffee for a 2nd small cup and when I went to freshen that it was totally luke warm. I suppose I could buy a little coffee maker, brew the coffee in that and pour that straight into the thermos, but doing it the way I am, which may inherently result in less hot coffee, is simpler and how I want to prepare it. Seems like, even brewing it the way I am, should stay much hotter, much longer.

There isn't much to say about a thermos. This works exactly like I wanted it to. It keeps my tea hot all day, it pours nicely into its cup-lid, and it's easy to get to work. The only minor complaint I have is that the opening is fairly small, but I think it's worth it for the benefit of a conveniently sized thermos. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who would be using it on a daily basis.
