My steel flask would still be acceptable warm after a 9 hour shift.
Pre-heating it with boiling water before putting the hot liquid in it helps a lot.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
these are good, keep hot for long time and well made, also you can drink out of them. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeventure-thermal-mug/Save £12k in 2012 no.49 £10,250/£12,000

We got a couple of the Aladdin Challenger flasks after they were reviewed on the gadget show. This is it here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aladdin-Challenger-Litre-Vaccum-10-00697-006/dp/B002TF1ZN0/ref=pd_cp_kh_1
We didn't pay this price though and got them for less than £15 each in a local shop. They are stainless-steel lined. Even though they got good reviews we were stunned at the heat retention of these flasks. When we go on holiday we fill up the flasks each morning with hot water and make our own coffees during the day. They've saved us an absolute fortune. I think ours are just over a litre in capacity. We get four mugfuls from each flask.Enjoying an MSE OS life0 -
I've got a couple of red and blue, thin diameter metal flasks from Lakeland which I take out with me when I'm trecking around the countryside, another soup type flask, also from Lakeland, metal in and out again, which is brilliant.
I also have an older all metal bigger flask that I use for work and has been very well bashed about over the years. As long as you get one with a metal inner and outer wall, you shouldn't really be able to go wrong. But as someone else said, they do need to be warmed up with boiling water first.
As someone else mentioned, I did see some decent looking flasks and prices at The Range the other day.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
I always fill mine with boiling water first before emptying it out and putting the coffee in.I did buy one of those cup type flasks for monday nights at Uni but they have a tiny hole in the lid which means unless they are propped upright when driving they tend to leak a little0
