Flask Hygiene

Get an aeropress. Fresh coffee at work. People who drink instant coffee make me sad. 

 

If you must have milk get a small glass bottle or a glass lined thermos.

Naa, stronger the better!!! Yorkshire tea for me always. Stand a spoon up in it 🤪 just bleach it once a month or so once ya start get floaty bits in it, and rinse thoroughly with boiling water afterwards 👌 bit of build up adds to the taste! 

I wouldn't feel right using bleach. It wouldn't make tea taste worse though! Always coffee for me

I'll have to keep making you sad Joe, the aeropress looks like too much drama for a tiny cup for me. I'd break it first time it got rammed behind the tractor seat!

A teabag left in a flask all day is disgusting!

No it’s the best! No milk though, black tea is my day drink.

Leave the teabag in and fill it with boiling water and off you go.

 

I can’t stand all this bringing of bits and bobs, t bags, milk, sugar, cuppasoups. 
 

Almost as bad as those sickos who bring Tupperware boxes of last nights stinky dinner and eat it with a plastic fork. They want shooting.

The last brew of the day is the best when the bag(s) are left in all day. (The only caveat to this is when the teabag has burst unknown to the drinker, usually on days where the flask has had a rough time rolling around in a tractor…).

Milton once in a while cleans flasks back to ‘as-new’ - it does say to not use it on stainless steel but I’ve never had a problem.

Nobody suggested popping to Costa? Deliveroo?

 

Have worked with one chap who would call them up if he'd done a private job at the weekend as feeling flush.

I've never thought tea travelled well in a flask. And I found if you committed to making a particular drink in your flask (tea or coffee) then it tainted it so you had to stick with whatever you picked. Nowadays I have 2 coffees before work, and I cup of Yorkshire Tea when I get home. Nothing but H2O for me during the day time!

Ooooooh, fresh coffee at work!

Tea everyday, made in the morning so it is just ready to go during the day.

 

Sometimes I take fresh coffee and use the press for my MSR windburner.

 

I usually just put the flask in the dishwasher on an evening.  Seems to do the job.  I do notice some stubborn stains in there but then on the random occasion, it comes out sparkling.
