This thermos did its job though I was somewhat annoyed because it could have easily been better. This review is based on one month of direct experience. I will discuss why I bought it, the good points then the bad.

I wanted to escape the increasing price at my workplace cafeteria, have more control over what I eat, avoid Chinese-made products if possible and set a good example caring for the environment. I wanted to take food (not coffee) so I needed a wide mouth that could accommodate a spoon. I wanted a large capacity because I'm a big eater and also envisioned bringing hot/cold drink treats for the whole family when we go hiking. Excellent insulation was an important criterion, just in case I needed it.

There were scant reviews on this particular product but the reviews for the Thermos brand were generally better than the Stanley brand. Many reviews of Stanley thermos mentioned how incredible they used to be but indicated prevailing reliability problem...Read more

I got this thermos a few weeks ago because I am a serious coffee addict. This behemoth will hold an entire 12-cup pot of coffee and I usually half-fill it every morning. Not only does it keep your coffee hot for 12+ hours, it's sleek and easy to tote around. The main cylinder is easy to clean too, your hand will fit in it so you can get at it with a sponge.

My only complaints are it is hard to clean the suction-cap, it's made of rubber/plastic and you can't put it in the dishwasher. It has little nooks and crannies that are hard to get to. Also if you pour it into a cup on a flat surface, your liquid will splatter around a lot. The solution to this is to pour it while holding your cup/mug at an angle.

Overall I am very satisfied, as the issues I have are super easy to work around! I used to carry my coffee in a Nalgene and this is a huge improvement over that :)

It is easy to fill, large and keeps food very hot for a long time. Very practical. The inner lid is hard to clean, but that is more than made up for by the functionality.

UPDATE: There is a rubber cover over the spout that keeps it from leaking. Unless you take this off and clean it - and doing this is a pain - then soup can get in and ... Well when I cleaned mine it had a ring of black stuff. Too bad, because if this just had a SIMPLE lid it would be great. Cleaning the inner lid is tedious that I'm not sure if I will use it anymore. Coffee, tea probably - food no.
