Stanley Classic Legendary Thermos 2.5 QT Review - Hottest Coffee In The World

[@magilla_guerilla]

I have not used the 2.5QT size but I have use the smaller 1.5QT size when I drove a truck over the road team driving. Honestly It would keep coffee piping hot for the first 12hrs then drinkable hot within the 24hrs, afterwards it would become lukewarm. Helped me save a couple bucks too since most truck stops let me fill up for about a dollar.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Awesome 👌

[@phillyfathead]

My dad and us had the same thermoses in deer camp for 35+ years and using the same technique, I would kill to see my dad use one again in the deer woods, great memories great video thank you!

[@SteveRobReviews]

So glad to have brought back the same memories I would love to experience too. 👍

[@the_observer9786]

You killed your dad didn't you

[@ironfirehorse]

My dad swore by Stanley and had this one. So when I converted my van into a camper this year I picked up one and their largest food jar, as well. They're both great. I did exactly what you did except put the hot water in the food jar for morning wash up for me and dishes. They are expensive but worth every penny. Good review, Steve 👍⚔️🔥🐴

[@SteveRobReviews]

Stanley makes great stuff but I dud try a food jar I will show that did well too. Cheers Irene 👍

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I have a 30 year old Stanley that I still use to this day. Handle fell of years ago and I bought the plastic replacement handle for it and it has lasted. Great review as always Steve. Hope all is well! Oh and manual I think tells about preheating with water before you use it for coffee.

[@SteveRobReviews]

All is well but I just hate going thru another winter 😅😅

[@iflowmagazine]

I am new to knowing how to prime my thermos before using. THANK YOU for sharing this important tip.

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@wyattoneable]

I think I've had some kind of Stanley thermos since I was 19 and started driving commercial trucks. Your right about the early ones, drop it one time and it was junk. Technology has brought us some great stuff but that hot cup of coffee in the morning from a good thermos is one of those simple pleasures we all enjoy.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Absolutely Wyatt , not everything from the past was better, ya the first ones need to stay in the past 😅😅

[@WallysPlace66]

I bought a Stanley Thermos from an online auction one time and whatever happens when the vacuum goes bad it didn't work. I called Stanley and they took the information from the bottom of the thermos and replaced it with a larger thermos because they didn't have that particular size in stock. I think it was 1 1/2 quarts. I drink 8 oz at a time so that little cup on top is ideal for me. I had bariatric surgery a while back so I can't do large cups anyway.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi bud , stanley has lots of competition today so it's nice to see their standing up for their product line. 👍

[@rex8958]

I love the 2 I have, the larger one seems to keep coffee hotter for a couple hours longer but smaller one is still perfect. I always pre-charge mine and it does help keep some heat after many hours. Left it in the deer stand all day and was still warm at night, maybe 10 hours in 40 degrees weather.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Cheers Rex 👍

[@asmodiusjones9563]

Another thing people might not be appreciating when they talk about keeping the contents hot is that any portion you pour out to drink is replaced in the thermos with cold air, which the remaining contents heat (out of the existing heat, cooling it down). So if you have a thermos and drink half after 8 hours and the rest an hour after that, the first half could have been piping hot but it is impossible for the second half to be. Whereas, if you don’t open it for 9 or 12 hours it might still have been as hot as at 8 hours.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Good observations 👍

[@silvertongue3003]

Just learned I don’t have to completely unscrew Stanley stopper, I always thought those indents was for pressure release.. thanks

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@Erated78]

Sounds like you’re taking good care of your guests by pre-making a large batch of coffee - what a time saver and if it’s still hot in the am - I’m sold. Thanks for sharing buddy - good luck deer hunting cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

It's a late night at times and up at 5am so ya it's got to be made the night before or it's never going to be made 😅😅

[@PinetreeLine]

I have two Stanley’s and I love them. Great tip Steve! Thanks Buddy!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@DriveShaftDrew]

yup hot water sit 10 mins dump and fill good for at least 12 hrs and still hot thumbs up shared

[@SteveRobReviews]

Like night and day with the hot water . Take care bud

[@xenomenon]

Some may have said this already, but the standard of measurement for cup is 8 fluid ounces. A proverbial "cup" of coffee can vary by the person, but when it comes to measurement on the side of a coffee pot I'm certain they mean 8 oz cups. I'd wager most coffee mugs in your cupboard are far larger than 8 oz lol. Also, the cup cap is more than decorative or for drinking in a pinch. It adds another barrier for heat loss. Most of the heat loss is through the neck and plug as those only areas that don't have the benefit of a vacuum. The cap shields that area with an added air barrier. I'm pretty sure carrying without the cap would definitely affect heat retention. Hope that helps. Thanks for the video. Love your style and I can tell by the way you prime your Stanley with hot water before putting coffee in it, you know what you're doing. I can trust what you're telling us. Can't beat a Stanley. Reminds me of my dad when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's and him taking it to work daily as a mechanic. It's a tank and has all the battle scars of accompanying a hard working man. Oh the nostalgia!

Steve, I still have my Stanley steel bottle from my father ( +30 yrs ) for fresh water and other one when I was in the infantry ( +35 yrs ) but this one as a isolating liner around for hot beverage 👌👍 and both of them are still going strong 👌👍Great tips mon ami 👍👌 Keep warm 👌👍😉 Cheers 🍻

[@547Rick]

Best thermos ever made in my humble opinion! Mine is well over 40 years old.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I agree Rick , you get exactly what you pay for in this case and its all good.

[@studentfeedback]

Is it still working with SAME efficiency or is there some down gradation after 40 years usage ? You are the ONLY person I found in comment section with such a HUGE experience. How long does it hold Hot & Cold at present ? Kindly reply because I want to purchase it but need your PRECIOUS suggestion for a PRECIOUS purchase.

[@547Rick]

@@studentfeedback I've been retired for a number of years. So the thermos does not get used very much anymore. All I can tell is that it has held up amazingly over the years and keeps fluids hot or cold for hours with all its dents and dings on the outside.

[@studentfeedback]

@@547Rick Thank you sir for replying. Take care of your health at this age. Especially Heart & Brain Health. My grandfather was a Renowned Professor of Mathematics and after retirement he died at the age of 96. He survived Heart Attack at the age of 94 but at the age 95 his brain started degrading. Finally he died next year. I had GREAT affection for him. So PLEASE do Yoga, Pranayams and take Ayurvedic medicines for longevity. It is much more effective than Allopathic medicines. One final question regarding Stanley Thermos --- Did your Thermos still work with the same efficiency after it accidentally fall down ? Can it tolerate (without loss in efficiency) one or more drop from hands ?

[@bigronshobbies8209]

Hi Steve, I have that same one and I love it. I take it to work everyday and I still have hot coffee at the end of the day. Cheers.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Awesome Ron . Cheers bud 👍

[@waterbottle4782]

I bought the 1.5 quart version of this and Stanley does indeed make good products.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Pre heating your Thermos is a great tip Steve. Nothing like a nice hot steaming cup. Cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks bud , you have a great day !!!!

[@gatorsworld]

I had many in my construction days and Incant say I was ever happy with any of them....I tried the boiling water in them and they would never stay hot as long as what you say Steve..... I’d pick up a xtra large at Tim’s in the morning and that was it for coffee for me and now with all them doctor problems I only put down one coffee every morning and I’m use to that......I had that same thermos in my camp inventory and threw it away about ten years ago.....good review Steve.....CHEERS

[@SteveRobReviews]

Take care bud 👍 I guess the camps done for another year.

[@donaldstanfield3486]

The solid stopper is better it keeps my coffee hot some of the earlier Stanley's had a pour through stopper that lost some of the heat thru the stopper replacing the pour through stopper with a solid vacuum stopper should correct any loss of heat issues in an older Aladdin Stanley thermos.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Hot coffee is important and if this can keep it hot, that's the one you want!!! I think your key to success is putting the boiling plain water in the thermos to heat it up first!!! Good move. Thanks of sharing and take 'er easy!!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Mike , it's the only thing keeping me awake:)

[@gatsbywinters8842]

Just bought the same one you have. But I'm going to use it this summer for iced water. I'm in hot attics a lot. It says on the bottle it will stay cold 10 days if iced. I use my old made in USA thermos for my coffee it's a 1.1 quart. Thanks for the videos.

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@GreySquirrelly1016]

Hey man great video! Got one of these on the way, I was wondering how does this fair in keeping your coffee hot at -40 in northern Alberta?

[@SteveRobReviews]

No problem at all just put hot water in first for 5 minutes and your good for the day.

[@viveviveka2651]

Thanks. Enjoyed the review. If you wrap it in some kind of good insulation (like an insulated jacket, sleeping bag, etc.) you can keep the contents even hotter and longer. With excellent insulation (like thick layers of down), much hotter much longer.

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@piemasta93]

I just love this guy. straight shooter. seems like an awesome guy to be around.

[@skapur]

The only problem with this thermos is that it works so well and you tend to use it every day that even with washing out, it tends to develop a film of coffee at the bottom that requires harsh chemicals to get rid off. This problem does not afflict flasks that do not work well because you do not use them much 😁

[@SteveRobReviews]

That's so true , like a tea cup that gets stained I use one ounce of bleech and 6 ounces of warm water to clean up the staining at the bottom. Not sure Stanley recommends it but it works pretty good . Cheers Sanjay 👍

[@BruceLyeg]

I have the little brother to that one. Mine's a 1.1qt but it look exactly like yours, just smaller. I don't drink coffee but I sometimes drink hot chocolate in winter. I once made hot chocolate around noon on a Friday. I forgot to bring it in the house after work and didn't remember till Sunday night when I went to look for it. It still had about a 1/3 of the bottle of hot chocolate. It was still hot. Not scalding hot, but hot as I'd ever drink it. I've used it for cold things in summer to when I go on a road trip.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Summer or winter it's a good at hot and cold . Cheers Bruce

[@Jmoney.0831]

Man I gotta admit I loved the "Man she's still hot. I don't know how hot people want on youtube." Line that one got me.

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@a.m.308]

Also, how do you clean or disinfect it? I know it says baking soda in the manual but I want to disinfect it too just to prevent bacteria growing in there.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Great question , I put a squirt of dish soap in and fill it with hot water and then flush it out after in an hour or so. Works great 👍

[@a.m.308]

@@SteveRobReviews Ok. Thank you, I’ll do that.

[@griff5713]

Just cleaned a pretty tea and coffee stained flask, no scrubbing just put some oxygen bleach and boiling water. its just sodium bicarbonate mixed with hydrogen peroxide, sold in most supermarkets the brand Oxyclean being one. Its used by brewers as it doesnt damage stainless steel which chlorine bleaches will do, apparently the chlorine reacts with the chromium in the stainless steel. It will bubble up a fair bit but within 10 minutes its lifted the stains off and looks like new. You can also just pop a dishwasher tablet in instead that apparently works well. Plenty vidson youtube showing both if want more info.

I just got one and after 13 hours the coffee was still steaming and too hot to drink. The best product I have ever owned to date. This was after opening 3-4 times as well. I did prime with boiling water for maybe 15 mins b4 i added the coffee.

[@SteveRobReviews]

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

I have a number of Stanley thermoses. They are a solid product.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Absolutely 💯 . There is a lot of competition out there for less money but rarely do we get more by paying less 😅

[@ChrisJones-yu9rz]

That is not a decorative lid…. It’s also vacuum sealed so you actually can use it as an “insulated” cup, but it also ensures that the plastic cap doesn’t get broken if you drop it on the ground and adds to the thermal activity of the thermos itself….

[@piemasta93]

dude you missed the point. the man doesn't use it so he doesn't care about it.

[@bobboyd4029]

Thanks for the review of the Thermos. Have you ever done any reviews on a Stanley Soup Thermos? At least that’s what I call it. It’s not as tall, but it’s bigger around. Thanks Bob

Yep the cup measurement on those pots are way off.i had a thermos for about 20 years and droped it and it Broke but it was the cats meow.
