It is the simple joys in life that make it worth living. Like the joy of enjoying a hot beverage on a chilly morning while watching the sunrise. Having a way of keeping your coffee, food or soup hot until you need it, is an unparalleled joy.
Thermos flasks have been around since the early 20th century, and their products have been distributed to every corner of the world. To this day, Thermos is still making vacuum flasks.
Insulated flasks operate on one basic principle: keep liquids hot or cold. They have double walls separated by a vacuum cavity. This airless space between the walls becomes the thermal insulation layer that keeps liquids hot for hours – and those double-walled flasks work the same way to keep cold drinks cold.
We have found that bigger capacity flasks retain heat for longer than lower capacity flasks. However, bigger flasks are often bulky and heavy.
