I balk at drinking out of products that are made in the most polluted nation on the planet. MADE IN CHINA.The plastic had an unpleasant odor, so I returned all four that I ordered. Not to mention their bad reputation for constructing items containing lead, poison, and other dangerous chemicals.
It holds a good amount of coffee and, the most important thing - it stays hot for hours. This thermos is no exception. I love it and highly recommend it. I bought this thermos because I wanted a large container to hold more than a cup of coffee. I bought the Nissan travel mug in the 16 oz size over 10 years ago and still love it. In fact, I poured coffee into it one morning and poured a mug from it that evening and actually burned my mouth because it was still so HOT.
Make sure you fill the big one (this one) all the way full. The smaller version keeps the coffee hotter throughout the day, but you get less coffee. Also, I found it would work even better if I boiled water and put it in 10 minutes or more before making and adding the coffee.
Overall a great thermos. I took away one star because I get only 31 ounces of liquid in the thermos - the screw on lid is very deep and therefore the thermos can only be filled to a ring deep inside. This thermos keeps my coffee hot longer than the coffee will hold it's flavor. Even with the thermos half empty it keeps my coffee hot. This unit also pours very well with a twist open to a marked pouring position.
It would probably last longer, but by that time I'm out of tea. This has the standard, "turn counter clockwise and pour." Still though, for the price I can highly recommend it. I drink hot tea, and so far it's stayed hot for 8 hours in this Thermos. The only thing I would have liked to have seen out of this is a push button dispenser like I've seen on a few others.
