Stanley Classic Vacuum Insulated Bottle, 18/8 Stainless Steel Thermos

When received, thought that it was JUNK (please read entire review for explanation). I've been using a Stanley Classic 1.1qt thermos since 2004 to keep my coffee hot as I take it with me to work. I decided to purchase a second one even though my original one still works and looks very close to brand new. Soon as I received the new thermos I noticed that it felt too light. I am already accustomed to the weight of my current Stanley thermos (2003 built date) and decided to put them on my scale. Sure enough, the original that I've been using for 14 years weighed 2.70 pounds and the new one only weighed 1.80 pounds. The new one also has a more hollow sound when I knock on it, the green Hammertone paint has a smoother/ more fine finish which I don't like as much, and when I place a magnet on the exterior of the original Stanley thermos, it holds in place. When I place the same magnet on the new one, it kind of catches but it slides down. No holding power. I never even considered when placing the order that something as simple as a Stanley Classic Thermos, that's been around for ages, would get changes that seemed to cheapen or even ruin it. Thinking that the lighter weight, smoother finish, hollow sound, and the fact that my small test magnet doesn't hold well and slides down, I decided to see how much worse it performs. At 7:30am I filled both the original thermos and the new thermos with boiling water and placed them in my truck, side by side. Then, at 1:30pm, I brought them both into my office and placed them on the same desk. The office is only 75 degrees fahrenheit and by 4:00pm, the exterior of the original thermos felt slightly warm while the new thermos' exterior felt slightly chilled. I didn't measure the temperatures of the exteriors but the new unit felt clearly colder to the touch. By 4:30pm, I decided to open them both up, for the first time in day, and get a reading of how much worse the new unit kept the temperate of the boiling water placed into it compared to the original unit. The results were as follows: -Original Stanley Classic 1.1qt thermos: 183 degrees F. -New Stanley Classic 1.1qt thermos: 188 degrees F. No, that is NOT a typo. I was so shocked that I kept measuring both units over and over for 5 minutes straight. All day, I was expecting the new design to perform worse than the original. I would have been very surprised had it even held the temperature as well as the original but I never even considered that it would actually keep the temperature better than the original. No joke, that never even crossed my mind for a second. I'm very surprised that the new unit performs so well despite all the changes mentioned above and it will now become my main go to thermos and I'll keep the original, that I'm kinda attached to after all these years, as a back up. Note: I know that this review is silly in the big scheme of things and that the testing process wasn't even challenging but I was expecting a quick and clear proof that the new design is terrible and would only use it as the back up thermos. I was so surprised, and pleased, by the results that I decided to share them with you all.

Keeps my coffee hot.

This thermos is amazing and does exactly what it is suppose to do..you want hot coffee all day you will have hot coffee most of the day n then it will start cooling down but it takes it a while its mostly still steaming a little when i open it if it has any left

You cannot go wrong with almost any Stanley product, and this one is no exception!! If you're needing to keep something warm, even on those coldest days, this is the product for you! No matter how rough I am on the Thermos, it has not leaked once! The product is sturdy and built to last. Hundreds of pots of coffee have made their way through the thermos, and they are as warm as the first day I had it. Highly recommend!

I have had one for 10 years till finally it lost something that keeps the liquid warm. This one should last another 10 years

It’s incredibly lightweight! holds about 5 cups- doesn’t leak if tipped over, and my coffee stayed extremely hot throughout my shift. (I work outdoors at a farm and had to pour the coffee and wait a minute for it to cool because it was just as hot as when I poured it from the carafe) It’ll probably last forever and live many cold days with me. Stanley thermos are always top tier. Worth every penny. (note that it’s hand wash only)
