Summary: Spending $1.65 + gas less each day!!!
Comment: I am extremely impressed with this Thermos bottle! Even though I miss the smiling faces each morning at the Tim Horton's drive-thru, I get to slow down a little and not be so manic trying to get out of the house, I control the strength of my brew exactly like I like it, I save $1.65 each morning, I don't waste gas while waiting in line to get to the drive-thru window, and I have two cups of coffee in the morning instead of one. And both are as hot as when they were freshly made! Oh, and Tim Horton's ground coffee is available at Tim Horton's and the grocery so I don't miss out on that wonderful flavor of theirs.
I don't understand the comments about the stopper not sealing or leaking, though. I've had no problems at all and just unscrewing the stopper a little bit lets me pour my coffee without getting over-excited and drenching my desktop. Yes, I've done that. And it's easy to carry! There's plenty of room in my computer bag if I don't want to carry it by hand.
All in all, one heck of a buy; useful, durable, and looks good. What more could you want?

Summary: Hot water keeps hot!
Comment: It is excellent! I wanted a Thermos for my baby. Something I can carry in my diarper bag and be sure to have hot water when needed. The size and weight are just perfect. It keeps the water really hot.

Summary: No easy way to pour
Comment: This thermos is not one you would want for beverages. The spout does not open easily for pouring.
Also, this thermos is large not easy to put in a briefcase or have at the office.

Summary: A Great Investment!
Comment: I don't know why I didn't buy this insulated thermos/bottle sooner. I was skeptical when I read other reviews about it containing the heat of it's contents for several hours but it does. When I opened the container a day later the fluid that I'd poured in the morning before was still warm. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Highly recommended.

Summary: What more could you want?
Comment: The body is all stainless, so it cleans pretty easy. It holds a lot, stays sealed. There's not really much to it.
I use it for smoothies and cold soups, not for coffee. I can only speak for the cold stuff, but it keeps smoothies ice cold for at least 8 hours. It probably goes much longer, but I've never left it in there for that long. I can even leave it open and it still stays cold for hours.
The size is really great for smoothies, breakfast shakes and so on. 26 ounces is plenty. Many/most blenders are 50-52 ounces, so me and my girlfriend make a full blender in the morning and it splits 50/50 into two of these. I typically take it to work and sip on it for a couple hours.
If you decide to use it for smoothies, like I do, make sure to get a canning funnel or some other funnel with a wide hole. I'm sure the 2" hole is big enough for liquid, but really thick stuff tends to plop out in surges, so you'll make a mess, otherwise. Also, you might want a big bottle brush to facilitate cleaning in case you forget to rinse it out right after usage.
I have had no problems with leakage, as some people have reported. Just in case, I rub a little food-safe mineral oil on the gasket once a month.. the same type of oil you'd use on a bamboo cutting board, etc.
Lastly, though I can't recommend it, I have put the base in the dishwasher many times with no problems. It's solid stainless, so I don't see how you could go wrong there. Don't put the cap or the plug in the dishwasher, as it has rubber and plastic.
