The Thermos entered its triumphant advance into German households in 1920. Since then, she has been a loyal companion who keeps drinks, such as coffee and tea, as well as liquid foods, such as soups, hot or cold for several hours. In her appearance, the Thermos changed. The design is modern today. Their function has remained the same. It is a closable container, usually with a capacity of one liter, which serves as a transport container and can be easily taken. Before you go for a Thermos you should compare the individual manufacturers and models. Because not every one Thermos is suitable for every user.

A Thermos must close tightly

A key feature of a good thermos bottle is that it seals well and is completely leakproof. You should therefore refrain from using particularly cheap products. Because these thermos bottles are often no longer accurate when used over a long period of time, often. Just a few drops of coffee are enough to pollute the contents of the rucksack or briefcase. That’s why you do not save in the wrong place. For example, we recommend a thermos bottle with a quick-stop closure, which offers extra leakage protection.

Compare the insulation performance of the individual products

As a rule, the manufacturer specifies in the description how long a thermos bottle keeps warm or cold. You do not have to choose a bottle with extra insulation, because ultimately it depends on how long you personally want to have your drinks cooled or warmed. If you regularly need a thermos bottle for just a few hours, for example only in the morning in the office, you can also choose a product that is less isolated. If drinks are to stay warm for as long as possible, for example on a hike, the insulating capacity of the thermos bottle must be selected accordingly higher.

Order a thermos bottle of the right dimensions and weight

Pay attention to the weight and size information in the product description. For example, if you go for long hikes, you will not enjoy a very heavy thermos bottle. The same is true with the measures. A bulky or oversized thermos bottle only takes up unnecessary space backpackor in the briefcase away. It is advantageous if you opt for a thermos bottle, in which one or two cups are integrated, because then you can do without the entrainment of a separate cup.

What material should a thermos bottle consist of?

Products made of aluminum are recommended because they are extremely robust, insulate for a long time – especially if they are double-walled and because they are food-safe. The flavorings of the contents are fully preserved and are not distorted by the product materials. Likewise, aluminum does not release pollutants into the bottle contents. Another great advantage of aluminum is that the material can be easily cleaned and maintained without much effort

Pay attention to the highest quality

If you are looking for a truly reliable, reliable and durable thermos bottle, a low price should not be a purchase criterion for you. Only choose products with very high quality. You benefit from perfect functionality and enjoy the product for a long time. Recommended and well-known manufacturers are for example Thermos, von Rosenstein & Söhne, Alfi and Emsa.
