Key factors yet often overlooked when buying a thermos bottle
A thermos bottle can become handy in a variety of scenarios. It will not only keep our beverage cold during summer, but can also be a source of warming up during winter months as it serves hot drinks. Given many quality-related factors and various choices, picking a correct bottle might be challenging at times. Here are four tips to consider for our selection.
The material
A thermos bottle is designed to maintain the temperature of the beverage stored inside, regardless it is cold or hot. A vacuum gap is created between two layers of the refill to help minimize any heat transfer.
It makes a slight difference whether the material used for making a thermos bottle is glass or stainless steel.
A glass-based thermos is a way to go if users want something visually appealing. The glass walls provide a great and elegant view of the beverage (tea for instant) in storage, with amazing transparent effects. As a bonus, users can always see how much of the drink is left.
A stainless steel-based thermos bottle, on the other hand, is a terrific investment given a much higher resistance. The material has been used by many manufacturers to make various types of thermos bottles.
The heat retention
Different types of thermos bottles will result in different periods of retaining the beverage temperature. Based on demand users will purchase an appropriate type of thermos bottle.
Several types of thermos bottles are so efficient that we might want to wait for a while before pouring out a hot beverage. If we want to enjoy our beverage in a fair length of time, a thermos that is capable of keeping hot for 6 to 8 hours should be considered. However, it would be unnecessary to preheat the thermos bottle with boiling water.
A good news for fans of cold drinks is that thermoses are much more efficient at storing cold beverages.
The size
Due to its double-walled structure, a thermos will be larger even though it contains the same volume of liquid as a bottle does. When we have no quick access to hot or cold beverages, a 750-ml or 1-liter thermos is highly useful, but please bear in mind that it will take up more space in our bag.
Furthermore, if we drink coffee from a large thermos, overall we will end up drinking more coffee than our usual daily dose. So when it comes to a healthy beverage, please consider the thermos size. The same is true for smaller bottles. A 300-ml bottle is good for tea, but we may need to consider how quickly we intend to drink it.
The lid
The lid of a thermal bottle should be secure and functional to avoid leaks while enabling easy cleaning. Several types of thermal bottle include corks. However, they are not always successful and can lead to leaks. Screw caps are a preferable alternative because they are more likely to stay in place, while for online purchasing, it is crucial to read reviews and confirm that the cap fits the flask precisely.
Many of these lids can also serve as a cup, which is useful for any trip. The cup should be made of the same material as the thermos bottle and should retain heat in a similar manner. This will allow us to enjoy our drink at the desired temperature without it cooling too soon.
