THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Drink Bottle, 24 Ounce, Matte Steel

THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Drink Bottle, 24 Ounce, Matte Steel - ReviewI recently picked up the THERMOS Stainless King 24 Ounce Drink Bottle in Matte Steel, and I have to say, it lives up to the hype. First off, the design is sleek and modern, with a smooth matte steel finish that looks stylish and is surprisingly fingerprint-resistant. The bottle feels durable in hand, thanks to its high-quality stainless steel construction.The real standout feature is its vacuum-insulated technology. I was impressed by how well it maintains the temperature of my drinks. Whether I’m filling it with hot coffee or iced water, the THERMOS keeps beverages at the perfect temperature for hours. I’ve tested it with hot coffee, and it stays warm for up to 12 hours, and cold drinks stay refreshingly cool for up to 24 hours.The lid is another highlight. It doubles as a cup, which is pretty handy when I need a quick sip but don’t want to unscrew the entire cap. The twist-and-pour design is easy to use and helps prevent spills. It’s also leak-proof, so I can toss it in my bag without worrying about leaks.At 24 ounces, the size is just right. It's large enough to hold a good amount of liquid, but not too bulky that it feels awkward to carry around. Plus, the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold, even for extended periods.Overall, the THERMOS Stainless King Drink Bottle is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable, well-insulated bottle that’s built to last. It’s perfect for daily use, whether you're commuting, hiking, or just lounging at home. Highly recommend it!

This is a three year review. I bought this Thermos in 2013.I have never used it for cold drinks. Only hot. I make coffee blended with butter, MCT oil, and an assortment of powders. This is primarily the drink I keep in it. Other than that, hot coffee.I wash by hand with a dish soap and vinegar mix, no problem with paint. However, for about six months I used a dishwashing machine with a cheap packet detergent that caused the paint on the bottle to peel. It would come off on my hand as I used it, in little flecks. The product use instructions say not to use cleaner with bleach in it. I think this was my problem. I used a clorox or bleach type dishwasher soap, and when I did the paint was peeling.The bottle still keeps drinks hot and insulates just as well as the first day I bought it. I sometimes make coffee, pour into bottle and seal, and find it piping hot four hours later.Damages: The metal part of the body has two deformations. First on the rim. You can see from the photo that it is flattened a bit where I dropped it once while cleaning. The lid still screws on fine and does not leak since the rubber gasket fits lower in the mouth. Second on the outer, upper edge near the front. Not sure when that happened, see below.The rubber parts are still in tact and functional. The top sealant piece has absolutely no problems. The small, spring-action hinge comes out from its hook every once in a while. I would estimate about once every two months. It's a simple fix. I place a fingertip on either side of the loose part of the ring, and press into the edge of the cap where the rectilinear hook is located. The ring fits back into place and stays. The cap, with it's one-hand flip function, still works perfectly. Maybe a fraction of a second slower than brand new. The simple, occasional fix is well worth the longevity of this bottle. Even without the rubber ring secured, I can still open and close fine if it happens in the car and I can't use both hands to fix it in the moment.The brand logo has completely worn off. This happened within the last year, and I'm not sure why. Looks kinda cool.General usage: For two and a half years, I took this to work daily on my commutes. Fits into my Civic cup holder, it's quite tall but great for easy grabbing. After I quit, I took it with me on a backpacking trip through southeast Asia for three months. I kept it in the top or side of my 48L Osprey pack, both on ground and in flights. I checked my bag in every time, using an airport transporter bag also by Osprey. The damage to the body may have come from these episodes, but I doubt it.Specific usage: I first used the Thermos in the car while driving. I would pop the lid with one hand and drink while steering with the other. It is pretty heavy, maybe three pounds when full, so I didn't drink on turns or in complicated traffic. Drink responsibly, right? About two years later, I used it primarily in the office and at home with a mug on the side. So I unscrewed the cap, poured into a mug, and drank from the mug. Meaning I haven't used the cap for the full three years, just so you know.Size: It's a great size for the amount it holds. Fully three cups of coffee. Magnificent.Handling: It can be quite thick and heavy for a one-handed grip. More like holding a football than a cup. Again, I would guess it weighs about three pounds when full. Get used to the balance, though, and even the daintiest user can be ready to rock and roll.Style: It's a sleek, black cylinder. Batman could be carrying this around Gotham without missing a beat. I can't complain. The only thing I would caution about is in airports and high tension places, like Los Angeles freeways, and especially when you travel overseas. It can look like a weapon, no joke. Be careful when you bust it out to suddenly take a swig, that you aren't doing it in front of an officer or in a threatening way. I can see how this could lead to alarm. However, I have not had any real issues. Just one funny look from a driver in Los Angeles one time when I lifted it up for a drink.If you are looking for a lighter alternative, I would suggest the Zojirushi 12 oz. bottle. I also traveled with that, for my wife. Lighter, much easier to hold, just as functional and durable. Keep an eye out for that review.This review is also on my blog: thebrilliantbeastblog.comThanks for reading and leave a comment if you want to add or refute. I'll respond if I need to.

I have been searching for a long time for the perfect thermos for my morning tea. I wanted it to be at least 24oz so it would last me most of the day, fit in my cup holder, be easy to clean and easy to drink from. The only thing this does not do well is fit in my cup holder. I can kind of wedge it in and it does not fall over, but if you have one of those over sized SUV cup holders it would probably fit. Although, it is so leak proof that I can just toss it in the seat beside me and not worry about it. It also has the added bonus that I can stick it in my messenger bag when walking from my car into my office building, which I could not do with what I was using before.I do not like scalding hot tea like some people do. I like to take big gulps of very warm tea, so I get that added bonus of making my tea up the night before and just grabbing it in the morning. By morning it is the perfect temperature and the tea bag has been in it all night and so the tea is nice and strong. I drink Typhoo tea and love it strong. The tea bags are little circles with no strings, so it is easy just to toss one in the thermos and dump it in with the compost when I get in at night.I like it so much I am buying one for my wife who stays home with our 2 and 1 year old children and does not normally get enough sleep. Now she can have some nice hot tea all day without having to stop and make some more.UPDATE: After owning these for several months now I have found a couple issues. First, the rubber ring that seals the lid to the rest of the container has a tendency to slip off, so if you dumping out some leftover liquid, you may be dumping out that ring also. Secondly, the little ring that is the "spring" for the lid will not stay attached to the upper part of the lid. I own two of these, and it slips off for both. I was pushing it back on for awhile, but now I just push the button, then lift the lid manually.
