5.0 out of 5 stars
Test results for skeptics,

This review is from: Thermos Stainless King Beverage Bottle, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
I read the reviews and am probably as skectical as anyone. When I received my Thermos - I filled it with hot water and dumped it as a preheat. Then I filled it with 200 degree water. In two hours it was 190 degrees. After four hours it was 180 degrees and after six hours, it was 170 degrees. The matching mugs - filled at the same time. After six hours they were at 160 degrees. The lids are a little more complex to take apart than some suggested, but nothing a reasonable person who can read directions should have a problem with. The seals are as leakproof as suggested. and the dark blue is just beautiful. Taken in total, the thermo and the mugs are awesome. They aren't cheap, but still are an excellent value. They made a believer out of me.

fantastic!,

This review is from: Thermos Stainless King Beverage Bottle, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
I bring a quart of hot tea to work every day and have been a fan of Thermos bottles for 25 years. I had always used an insulated glass bottle, until I noticed that the newer bottles were more prone to breakage. I did some internet research and found the Stainless King. It is excellent at retaining heat, ensuring a very hot cup of tea throughout the workday. One weekend, when I emptied a half-filled bottle over 24 hours after filling it, the tea was still significantly hotter than hot tap water. I am looking forward to using this bottle for a LONG time. The only very minor drawback is that the metal handle does "rattle", making a metallic noise. I might consider one of the handle-less bottles for a future purchase, but I am sold on the insulated stainless steel.

Poor Cap/Cup Quality,
By Grumpy (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thermos Stainless King Beverage Bottle, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
I bought this Thermos in November of 2009 and after 4 months of daily use the stainless steel part of the cap has separated from the plastic part. I have taken really good care of this product, and it is quite clear that the glue used to join the two parts was just not up to the task.
A friend has an earlier model and the same thing happened to him. Granted this is from a very small sample size, but it appears as though this is a common problem with the Thermos brand insulated bottles. I would really like to hear from other customers to see if ours were isolated incidents, or if this is a common occurrence. After a mail to the Thermos helpdesk I was told the following: "The limited warranty only covers the stainless steel portion of the bottle. The warranty does not cover gaskets, stoppers, or cups as the parts can wear due to long periods of use, neglect, abuse or can be altered. We do have these parts available for a small fee." I guess the reply means that even though the bottle part of the Thermos is supposed to last 5 years, they want to make a buck from their customers by having them continually buy replacements for the really poor quality accessory parts. I agree with the other reviewers in that the product keeps coffee piping hot, but I will not recommend this product until Thermos addresses the quality issues with their cap/cup.
