decent thermos for tea sessions?

I bought this thermos:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003GIS4TW/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1459094282&sr=1&keywords=thermos

it has a plastic screw part and never poured that great (a bit too wide and messy), and three months later it now leaks air, so its constantly gurgling and losing heat. Amazon has refunded me the money.

Anyone have any recommendations for decent one that is well made? are they all plastic for the screw parts?

Get a Zojirushi thermos. They work great and come in sizes from 12oz to 67oz approximately. They are available on Amazon. I have a 16oz thermos and a big sports bottle I think they call it at around 67oz. They are made in Japan I believe.

I got the Zojirushi carafe, great for long sessions, easy to clean.

Thanks, a bit more expensive than the thermos but hopefully a better mechanism – the zojirushi look like they are made with being used repeatedly in mind.

The Zojirushi keeps water or tea very hot for quite a few hours. I’ve drank the tea six hours later and it’s still very hot. If your just using it for a tea session I should imagine it will keep the water at near boiling for at least two hours. It think it will keep the water hot for about twelve hours.

That’s impressive. Are you using this for hiking/camping rass?

I used to use it to bring tea to my last job. Brought a lot of tea that way.

Hmmm $45 is pricey. I got these for $10, they keep water hot for 24 hours.

@nycoma its for home use, but thinking about it, the travel one has dual use so better? I can take tea on trips then

This Nissan thermos is my current fave, looks nice, one hand function and keeps the water hot -http://goo.gl/hBGsbp
