Selection Tips
Do not think that you can choose a thermos only in terms of the volume and shelf life of hot (or cold) products. It is very important to pay attention to its strength. Not only lovers of fishing rods and guns, but also city couriers, correspondents and drivers will hardly like the model with a fragile flask. Therefore, if there are no special preferences, it is best to stay on versions with a steel bulb and a steel body. Plastic and glass structures are only suitable for housewives.
Drink storage models are usually elongated. They have a predominantly narrow neck to improve heat retention. A squat appearance is more often a thermos for food (although this is not necessary). But a wide opening is required for such tanks.
The presence of separate containers for the first and second courses, for drinks can only be welcomed by those who are often on the road or work according to irregular hours.
The pump thermostat is a niche model. Mostly it is used in hiking, field conditions - and exclusively for storing drinks. Much less often such devices can be seen in the office. Versatile modifications of thermoses can store both drinks and solid foods or meals. However, their versatility often translates into short heat retention times.
Thermo mug belongs to the category of thermoses only conditionally. Its capacity is small, and other functionality is limited. Such products will suit only those who need to drink a hot drink once during a work or school day. Additionally, you should pay attention:
- on the cork (its size, reliability, convenience, the ability to turn into a cup or mini-plate);
- the appearance of the container (no chips and cracks are allowed);
- possible unpleasant odors (a sure reason to immediately abandon the purchase);
- reputation of the manufacturer and feedback on a particular model.
