Five criteria for choosing the best coffee thermos
Many people would start their days with a cup of coffee. But the drink may ruin a morning if it's cold or not freshly brewed. For those who enjoy drinking coffee on the go, a coffee thermos would be an ideal choice. Whether the beverage is hot or iced coffee, a reliable thermos will retain the drink's optimum flavor and temperature for a longer period. Given the ample supply of thermoses, selecting the right one might be tricky. Some of the main following factors should be carefully considered prior to making the purchase.
Size and capacity
Choosing the right thermos with the right capacity depends on its usage. A thermos capable of holding less than 750 ml (around 25 oz) is suitable for those with a sedentary lifestyle such as students and white-collar workers.
Coffee thermos come in different sizes, enabling it to meet various demands.
For those who work outdoors or play sports, a thermos with capacity of above 1 liter should be a good option as their dehydration rate is above that of an average person.
Heat retention
A thermos can keep drinks hot or cold for at least four to six hours. A quality vacuum thermos must have a gasket to prevent heat from escaping and its lid must be tightly fitted so as to avoid air from any air leakage or penetration.
Double-walled vacuum insulation can keep the beverage inside at its ideal temperature.
Drinks can be kept hot or cold for extended hours thanks to the vacuum insulation technology. This also means that the thermos can prevent water vapor from condensing outside.
Inner pot material
The inner pot of a coffee thermos is made mainly from either stainless steel, plastic or glass. The materials must stay cool when filled with hot water, and not sweat if filled with cold drinks.
Stainless steel
Most thermoses on the market today are made of stainless steel. The commonly used stainless steel sheets for the refill are divided into different grades, including SS201 and SS304. SS304 has better quality than SS201 and is safe for health.
The material is durable and able to withstand the test of time. High-end thermoses use double-walled vacuum technology to effectively maintain the temperature of the beverage in storage.
Stainless steel is commonly used to make thermoses.
Plastic
The plastic thermoses are cheap, reusable and easy to carry, but they can not retain heat for a long time. The hot water can cause deformation of the product.
Glass
Using this material, the thermos' advantages include long heat retention, easy cleaning and no alteration of the beverage's original flavor. However, it can crack easily and the cost is high for each replacement with a new refill.
