70 year old thermos wins performance test

[@norby0418]

I have a 30 year old Stanley just like the one in the middle and I have never been very happy with how it works. We have a glass insulated carafe that will keep coffee hot twice as long as the Stanley.

The old school glass one was a clear winner on this test

how did it last 30 years if it's so trashy?? stanley thermoses routinely get rave reviews throughout

[@pavel9652]

Stanley has a poor stopper in this one. I have saw in another video similar results and people were saying they would put a wine bottle cork into it. Sometimes an o-ring (1 of 2) is missing.

tTy again with a full standley stopper with dead air space, not the thin pour through one.

I just a similar one. It feels like it belongs to a museum... but I've been using it because it works superbly! The first time I tested it, I poured boiling water at night, left it on the counter. The next night I tried it and even burned my hand when touching the water. The only problem is that I noticed a bit of peeling on the silver part. Is there anyway to restore that?

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

You could try clear nail polish to keep moisture out to prevent more damage

@@kisbushcraftdownunder I'll try that. Thank you.

@@kisbushcraftdownunder wouldn't bacteria grow in the liquid having been hot for that long

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

@@hassanjamal4212 I think as long as the container is clean and the water is boiling you are fine tea tastes better anyway when you make fresh rather than letting it stew for hours inside the thermos

[@hassanjamal4212]

@@kisbushcraftdownunder true...its going to taste weird definitely. I think this is better to keep drinks cold not hot...hot drinks should be made and drunk fresh.

The pour through lids on the older stanleys loose heat faster....little hack roll up a paper towell or find a cork that fits in the stopper to prevent the heat loss....boiling water still steamed after day and a half

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

Those lids are the weak spot in a lot of thermos designs the old cork stopper is probably the best thermal protection. In Australia the first Coolers had cork insulation inside tin boxes regards mike

[@raczyk]

Does a glass lined thermos make tea / coffee taste better?

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

Glass is the best for no tainting the contents

[@binderdundit228]

yes

El vídeo es una mentira, se puede ver al principio como el termómetro marca 84,70 °c y al finalizar marca 86° c en el termo de vidrio , una completa mentira
