Java Needs a New Thermos
Well, Java’s thermos (a big 1L stainless steel thermos) needs to be replaced. The black plastic lid is warped and doesn’t seal properly anymore (or it screws in off kilter and then is nearly impossible to remove). Unfortunately, I’m having no luck finding anything big enough that doesn’t have multiple reviews saying it leaks.
Requirements for a pony-friendly thermos are:
-minimum 1L capacity
-leakproof
-stainless steel/metal (he likes to “help” pour his tea so it needs to be able to withstand pony teeth and getting dropped on the concrete without shattering/cracking. denting/scratcing is fine, haha)
-must keep tea hot for a minimum of 1 hour – the barn is a 45 minute drive away from my house
-small-hand-friendly cap – the one on his old thermos is a bit big for my small hands and so when it was working properly, I still had difficulties opening it because the cap was too big to grip effectively
Doesn’t need a cup or handle, just a leakproof inner cap (though I think ALL thermoses come with the cup cap?)
Thanks for any input! Java will be happy to have a thermos again!
this is one lucky pony!!!! :D my Dad is a farmer/carpenter who has packed a lunch including hot coffee 5 days a week for like 40 years. He has always used some variation of this thermos http://www.thermos.com/products/vacuum-insulated-34-oz-beverage-bottle.aspx which is made my thermos. It stays on its side in his lunch box all day and i have never heard him complain about it leaking That being said, i think his current one is about 5 years old (at least) and we all know they don’t make things like they used too…
What can I say, I love the little monster! And actually, since giving him tea regularly, he’s finally stopped getting ulcers!!!
