looking for a new thermos for the deer hunt this year.. tire of my coffee being cold warm by 9 ish.. what do you guys use? any good ones out there?
I've had good luck with the THERMOS work series. I do however always preheat my thermos and my tea is always hot, even hours later.
I do the same, even with a low quality thermos I find rinsing with really hot water before makes a huge difference.Quote:

Get yourself a thermos carrier and wear it to keep you both warm:

Haven't tried these myself but came highly recommended on another site and get great reviews. Guy uses it ice fishing all the time as well. After 4 years still work and look like new.

Hi Chris: I have 2 stanley's. A large and a medium size. I seem to use the medium size (holds a large timmies) the most. They seem to work pretty well. They are durable. Ive dropped mine numerous times and a few dents don't seem to bother them.
Yep green s/s stanleys. Pre-heat and they will keep coffee hot even while ice fishing. Just crack the lid and pour. Keeps it a lot warmer than removing the lid.
Had a SS Stanley for years. Then one day it quit working so I got in touch with them. Even though my model was obsolete THEY suggested that they replace it, and they did, for free.......
I also use the Stanley. Great thermos.

If you have a Stanley, don't throw it out. Call their 1-800 number amd they will send you a new one free.
We used to be able to replace liners, cups, caps for Thermos products. Now they are disposable....great for kids to loose at school.
the pre-heat is key to lasting heat in the thermos, rinse it with hot tap water and leave it till the coffee is done brewing. I have just a thermos brand and I like it. keeps stuff hot all day if pre-heated. it does make a lot of noise though..
these Stanley thermoses I hear a lot about.... are they stainless steel liner or glass?? have had some bad experiences with glass liners and hunting/fishing... and want a GOOD thermos for my next one. I use them all fall and winter.
The Stanleys are stainless.

noise is an issue. so at some point I tried a neoprene covered one. I think it was FA brand. What a garbage! Any metal bottle in an old sock is better - seriously!
I use an old 1 litre thermos (in backpack) right now. Not perfect, but okay.
As pre-warming has been already mentioned, the only other advise is to make sure you get the right size (volume and lid) for what you need.
I've noticed that on some the newer models you no longer need you to unscrew the lid...just open up a small spout....probably a good idea for the hot beverage, keep the heat in longer.
there is a staniless container its made my CONTIGO....my wife bought me 2 for moose hunting it has apush button anti spill locking coffee mug top and it worked awesome.....and was cheap too
Stanley.
You get what you pay for. Steel lined is the best and always preheat.
I use a Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) brand "thermos". It is stainless steel. I've had it for over 10 years and it is awesome. I don't know if they still sell them, but the one I have (actually 2 if I include my wife's) is excellent quality.

I also carry a Contigo. Fits in my vest and holds enough for a good coffee break on a cold morning.

I use those for my commute. . Work great... but carrying 2 of them in my back takes too much room... also find the coffe is cold 3 hours later (in the winter) spring early fall and summer coffe stays hot - warm all dayQuote:

Great ideas! I love my Contigo for work but a bit too small for hunting (like an extra large Timmies) and don't want to lug 2 in case they clang together.
