Piping hot tea/coffee. I like the tactile feel of the flask it seems good quality. The two cups fits together nicely and snug on the flask. Love the colours, I opted for blue.
Wow a flask that actually keeps your brew hot. I have only had this for a short time. We use it regularly car picnics are great fun this time of year. Sat in the country surrounded by hills n rivers. Yet you can poor yourself a hot brew. The only problem is we sup it all before we walk I should really buy another for when we get back in the car. Hot tea on a chilly day happy days.
The bottle is vacuum insulated inside and from stainless steel. The quality is good. Robust built and seems durable. It is lightweight with decent design. Size of 500ml which is enough for gym use.
Arrived well-packaged as shown in the attached photos.
The price is slightly expensive in my opinion.
Overall, happy to own it and will recommend.
A great colour and extremely good that it’s a thermos for hot and cold for 24 hrs. The water stays fresh in the bottle and liquids stay at their temperature throughout the day. It is also good for the environment with the recyclable tag. The grip on the bottle is secure and the material is nice but it can be dented if dropped.
This water bottle is made of stainless steel and comes in various colors and sizes for you to choose from. The double layer vacuum insulation design means that both cold and hot drinks can be stored. To test its insulation effect, I filled the water bottle with hot water, the water was still boiling hot after 7-8 hours and there was no leakage problem. As for cold water, I have not tried it yet. The lid of water bottle can be used as a temporary drinking cup or poured out to cool a hot water while it’s still piping hot.
It has a stopper lid, and then a second screw on lid, that doubles as a cup. The stopper lid can be just slightly opened and used for pouring. Alternatively you can drink directly from the flask as the rim is smooth, and will not damage your lips.
It is hand wash only and is easy to clean. I find my bottle brush (purchased separately) is great for reaching to clean all of the inner surfaces.
Overall this is a great product that seems very good quality.
I really like the size of this flask. My husband takes hot chocolate with him when he goes to play golf, and doesn’t want a huge flask, but the smaller sizes are too small. It’s great for both hot and cold drinks.I think these are great to keep in the car with cool water in on hotter days. Keeps the water a lovely temperature no matter how hot the car interior gets. For hot drinks it’s perfect for keeping drinks warm all day. My only real issue is that the cup takes a bit of getting used to in terms of getting it back on the flask. It’s a sort of a push and twist rather than a screw on I think. Which is unusual and ended up with me cross threading it at first.
Great size flask that works well. I do pre heat before use, fill with boiling water from the kettle and leave for 5/10 minutes, empty and then fill with whatever hot contents you’re using.
I like a hot tomato soup on colder longer dog walks – and this works brill. Kept my soup nice and hot.
Husband works outside and has taken it to work with a hot lunch in, and his food has still been piping hot at lunch time.
Nice size for one portion, and works well.
Like the colour too, would recommend.
This is insulated water bottel, 500ml capacity. Made from good quality 18/8 stainless steel. Leak proof and double walled vaccum insulation. Can keep my hot drink for more than 12 to 15 hours and cold drink for almost a day. Lightweight, sturdy and durable. Just twist the cap and you can pour your drink into the lid, making it very convinient to use this water bottle anywhere. By the way the lid is made from plastic. Will recommend this product.
Yesterday was the first time I got to try this out as I was going to client meetings all day and wanted to make sure I had coffee with me. It worked well, no complaints, the coffee was hot when I finished it in the afternoon, no leaks, top was easy enough to pour. Feels like it’s well made, comes boxed (see pictures). It is a little bit more than others, although I notice a 25% discount coupon at the moment which brings it down to around the same price. I’ll be continuing to use it.
I bought this flask as I’m spending a lot of time outdoors over winter and wanted some hot tea. I didn’t want old school glass thermos flasks as they’re easily broken so this being all stainless really sounded good. So, I made a flask of tea at midnight with milk and sugar included, went to bed. At 08.00 I tried a cup and was pleasantly surprised at how hot it was and none of that sweaty plastic smell/taste, it was just like a freshly made cup of tea. Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to using i highly recommend.
The ‘SANTECO Vacuum Flask 500ml, Stainless Steel’ arrived in a branded box.
From the exterior, the flask looks well made and the serving cup screws on tight.
Now to the issues; someone thought it was a good idea to put a card inside the flask which is bigger than the opening. If I had some long tongs to hand it would have been easy to get out, but if you have to do it by hand it tends to catch just out of reach of the fingers. Why it was not just put in the box is a mystery.
The second issue was the thin gasket on the stopper. It had been ‘pinched’ when tightened, leaving it distorted, fortunately not enough to leak. But as it tightens against a thin surface, you should be careful not to over tighten; a few spares would be useful.
When filled with boiling water, there was no warmth noticeable on the outside. After 12 hours the water was still quite hot, and even after 24 hours it was still above body temperature.
-insulates well, kept cold water cold for many hours
-no leaks (I carried it upside down in a backpack for a few hours)
-this green is a pleasant colour
-seems very durable. The wall is thin enough to be dented if abused, but even then, it would likely maintain its insulating properties.
CONS
-the pouring mechanism (unscrew the inner stopper a little, and pour through the then unmasked channel) isn’t that efficient. I found I had to unscrew the inner stopper so much that it was about to fall off, in order to get water to flow out at anything more than a trickle. So I ended up just unscrewing the stopper all the way and taking it out, every time I wanted to have a drink (which gave me a second item to hold)
-I found that I could easily-cross thread the lid/cup when putting it back on. You need to be careful how you screw it into place.
-a thorough cleaning should involve taking out the o-rings (which I did when it first arrived). These rings are a little faffy to put back, make sure you seat them carefully back in place (otherwise they can get torn as you screw the stopper back in place).
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros
Bought as a birthday present, the BEST heat containing flask I have ever seen. My partner made a coffee in it at 7am. It was still hot (not warm, hot) at 6pm!!! Leak proof, lovely feel and fills a lot. Brilliant value for money.
