Thread: Best Thermos

Being a cheap bastard , I have quite a bit of experience with thermos , WHY , because I OBJECT to paying $5-7 for a cup of tea/coffee , its that simple , as to me its NOT worth it .

Was in one of the big AKL hospitals 10yrs ago , and was waiting on someone , decided to get a cup of tea at the cafe , I thought no problem , RIGHT , wanted black tea with sugar , simple yeah , NO , did not have std tea ( earl grey crap ) , and they wanted $5 for it , I said NOT in my world , they looked stunned , me I just walked away .

So back to themos , when I go 1 hr or more from home , 2 thermos get chucked in car , 1 cold & 1 hot , cold one is a 1.2 L wide mouth , so I can biff in a handful of ice and then either cheap cordial or powdered ice tea , hot one is preheated with water for 5-10mins , then hot water ONLY .
By using hot water ONLY means it keeps hotter ( than milk added to tea/coffee etc ) , and means I can have , coffee/tea/choc what ever , have a small plastic basket , and it has tea/coffee/sugar , cups and spoons & biscuts .

All this means 2 things , I am free to stop anywhere/anytime and have a brew/break , and its a cheap / reasonable price .

The cold one can also use soft drinks like coke/pepsi etc as well , and its BLOODY cold when it comes out , sometimes thats NICE .

As to sort , the cheapest nastiest all SS ones from the wharehouse .
