Keep your drinks at the right temperature with this 1 litre Thermos flask. This vacuum insulated flask keeps liquids hot for 8 hours or cool for 24 hours, depending on what you're drinking, and comes with two integrated cups and a twist and pour stopper.

Picked this up in the Tesco in Sligo yesterday.

Good price for a Thermos.. it was half-price!

Yeah I seen these in Tesco, very sturdy and stylish, only a few left in my Tesco. There's 2 cups included I think. I have the previous design, the cups had handles, that was better. Handles are quite handy!

P.S. You don't get the bit of BluTac shown in the photo, with the flask.

How durable is it? Bought flasks in Tesco previously and the slightest knock and they shattered inside?

Thermos brand are the best you'll get, I find them very durable, I've my various Thermos flasks for years.

Some tips for your Thermos;

* Never put anything metal and wooden in your flask, ie. a spoon to stir. It'll crack the glass.
* Only put boiling water in your Thermos, nothing else. Add tea, coffee, and milk, sugar, etc.. in the cup afterwards. Also makes cleaning easy, a quick rinse and you're done. This is where people go wrong; instant soup, coffee, etc... all leave smells and residue in your flask.

Can't be done for me most people though. Instant coffee or instant soup = muck!

However, 1 - 2 tablespoons of baking soda + boiling water every so often will get rid of any lingering smells.
