Thermos recommendations?

[archenemy]

You know, if you preheat your thermos (especially if it is the button-type), it will stay warmer throughout the day. You can google for step by step instructions, I think...

I predict catbirdseat will attempt to answer this but will fall flat on his face as analytical chemists can't do thermo

 

You haven't demonstrated any aptitude for it either.

If one were to attempt to pre heat one's thermos with MAGMA would the temperature of the MAGMA melt said thermos? how would one best remove the MAGMA if one forgot to pour out the MAGMA while still hot?

They forgot the most important part though:

Making sure to warm the Thermos before you fill it.

Haven't you seen the memo? The climber having the most fun is the one with the best thermos!

When you're hot... You're HOTT! Or it just could be you have a good thermos

Something that has been overlooked is that if you want to keep your stuff really cold for a long time, be sure and precool your Thermos. Precooling is key. Fill the Thermos with ice cold water, let it sit for about 4 hours in a fridge, then pour out the ice water and refill with the beverage you want to keep cool. Keep this in mind with the winter climbing season coming upon us.

So I went with the Zojirushi Tuff Slim Vacuum Bottle - 0.5 Liter (REI has them for 36 bucks)... haven't used it a ton but so far I'm stoked on it.

 

Used it at Hyalite this past weekend to keep my Stumptown pipin' hot... coldest day was -15 at 9:30 am... I think it warmed to -2 that day. Thermos kept the brew super toasty... it was apparent it had cooled some but was still hot.

 

It should be noted on the -15 day the thermos poured slower... I get the impression the brew inside the cap was starting to freeze... it still poured (slowly) but removing the cap and just pouring it out was much faster.

 

Someone else in our party had a starbucks thermos... I don't know how old it was but it did not keep its coffee as warm.

 

Finally I found if you preheat the thermos the brew stayed warmer longer Additionally my #1 Cheerleader Chick Sticker (thanks Loren!) has definitely been a great addition

Maybe that person forgot to preheat the thermos. That keeps your coffee warmer.

Perhaps that person would have benefited from the cheerleader chick sticker more than myself.
