Nice pouring mechanism. 

More info needed. I can't stand the push button lids as they gunk up with yoghurt and other scum. Half threads are still the best solution in my opinion, keeping heat in but letting fluid out.

Yoghurt? In a flask? - (walks off tutting loudly) Flask is for tea and tea alone you heathen. 

 

on a serious note I think the Stanley flasks are as good as you get at a sensible price.

This no longer concerns me as I drink both tea and coffee black, but there are a significant number of people who drink theirs with milk, and a great many of those choose to add milk to the whole flask when it is made, rather than adding it to the individual cup when pouring. There is nothing wrong with this, despite what whoever wants to complain about the practice has to say.

 

Warm milk left in undisturbed corners will inevitably turn into yoghurt, cheese, or some mysterious substance somewhere between the two. Pop-top thermos lids are a favourite location for yoghurt farmers to grow their product, and some of them are incredibly difficult to dismantle for proper cleaning. 

 

I promise you, there is someone reading this right now who is even unaware that they do require periodic maintenance, and has a stomach-churning quantity of dairy smegma built up under his lid.

 

For this reason, half-thread thermos lids are far superior.

Today’s joy was winching a collapsed willow pollard out of the moat at Joseph Conrad’s old house.

 

I knew the last lump would be a bastard to get a rope round so I packed my Speedos.

With you now, milk should be kept in a separate bottle! If you can’t tell tea is a ritual this way 👍

Sorry to be boring @Mark Bolam but that’s a GRCS n’est pas@?

How do you rate it?

 

Thanks in advance, a fan.

I appreciate that the whole process is part of the tea drinking experience for some people, and I do enjoy the results of all the individual little steps that add up to a great cup of tea. But if it's gone into a thermos, for me it's very much just fuel, another coin in the slot to keep the caffeine addiction ticking over.

 

Life became a whole lot easier since dropping milk from tea and coffee, anyway... the logistics aren't nearly as complicated.

Half threads. Small neck though. Need a bottle brush to clean the females. 

 

Satisfying clunk.
