Now that it is getting hot, I feel the need to carry some water with
me when I shop. Last week I carried water in a Ball jar,but it moved
aorund too much in the cold-pack bag and leaked too much.

As I don't like holding water in plastic, and don't like a small
opening, I'm wondering if anyone has had a wide mouth glass thermos
that that like and would recommend.


I'd really like to buy two of them, one for water and one for coffee.
Coffee is the pits here where I live and sometimes I'd like a swig of
good coffee for a pick-me-up.

Thanks.

I don't have any recommendations off-hand (sorry). I just did a search
on "amazon.com" using keywords "stainless thermos", and there were a lot
of results (three pages)! All sorts of sizes from small to very large
in many shapes and forms. Too many options. The stainless steel
thermos bottles are probably better (I think?) because they won't break
like glass thermos bottles can. The SS thermos can get dented, but
those are marks of character, right(?) G.

Thanks for your reply, Sky.
Yes, I've been to Amazon and the list of them is ENDLESS! :-)))

I've been thinking about the stainless and wondering if it were
stainless inside. I looked at one somewhere about a week ago and
indeed it was stainless inside! I'm not sure what to make of a
stainless steel thermos. I know I wouldn't be drinking out of it, but
I can only recall some pewter wine glasses and liqueur sipping glasses
of pewter I received for a wedding present - strange. It might be OK
to use for taking water with me, I'm thinking, since I don't need it
cold. Stainless steel - shudder!

Since I pack so much stuff in the car just to go to town shopping,
perhaps I'll use the old thermos-type white teapot that I've had for
20 some years. At least it pours, but I hate getting that brush out
to clean out the coffee smell.

I'll probably pick out something stainless at Amazon.

They're vaccum bottles, just like a glass lined thermos is. There's
an outer shell, a vaccum layer (or air gap, depending on model), and
then the inner layer of stainless steel. They do a good job --
better than glass -- of maintaining the temperature of the contents.
Plus, they don't break.

Wow! I thought the stainless would be very poor at maintaining

Stainless steel is a pretty poor conductor of heat, but it's the
vacuum between the two layers that's the real insulator. My favorite
of my stainless steel flasks is by Zojirushi. It keeps coffee hot for
greater than 24 hours, when it's pre-heated with boiling water.

Thanks all -- I think my best bet is to look at Ace Hardware(s) --
there is a big one nearby. It might be something I should touch and
handle before buying instead of at Amazon, which I notice doesn't have
an incentive for me to choose them in this case as most are not free
shipping.

I think I'll probably have a better chance running across Stanley than
Zojirushi, too, in this 'neck of the woods.'

I carry my coffee to work in this:

http://www.totalvac.com/parts/FBB1000.html

24 ounce stainless with a screw-off stopper. That stopper is very
important as I like milk in my coffee. I find that the pop-up stoppers
allow in liquid then become impossible to clean.

This is a compact bottle that I looked all over to find. I wanted
something small, but that held enough coffee to get me through the day
and that would retain heat or cold very well. This has no handles or
doo-dads to get in the way of it fitting into my briefcase or being
kept scrupulously clean.

IIRC, I ordered it online at Target.

I have given up on glass ones, as they really do break too easily, and
I have never found a wide-mouth vac bottle/Thermos that kept things as
hot or cold as I 'd like them to be over a long haul.

Thanks a lot! I cannot drink coffee without milk/cream. I don't know
enough about thermos' to even know about the use of cream/milk in
them, so that is important to me. Also I have enough 'stuff' to carry
with me and that will fit right close tight in one of my (LL Bean)
bags.

I dislike experimenting with things like this as it can get time
consuming and costly, so your personal recommendation is really
appreciated.

Hello, Wayne,

I went into Target today as Boron recommended she had 'ordered on
line' the Nissan, but a bird-in-the-hand was there, and they had a
large selection of Stanleys. I certainly liked the looks of them;
however, I was not pleased with the plastic inside the drinking cups
(smelly) - I would rather have had the ss lining inside the cups vs.
outside where the ss actually is.

However, I did like them enough and decided on and bought these - a 17
oz. food thermos, and a .5 qt. slimmer thermos.

Glad you like the Stanley, Dee. I've owned one since I was in highschool.
They just never go bad.

Try soaking the plastic lined cup in a baking soda solution for a day or
two, then wash. I think the smell goes away with age, but the baking soda
might accellerate it.
