I love the thermos and it works well. I would love to put in dishwasher but I don't since it might mess with the coated finish. The only minor negative is the handle was not fully attached when I got it. Thank God I did not fill with hot liquid! The two metal attachment pins were not fully pressed into the two bracket sleeves of the thermos. Luckily I had the perfect size of slip-jaw pliers to be able to lock those in enough so they stayed attached. It did take some time and a non-DIY person might have difficulty. This one perfectly fits 10cups of coffee (that is the coffee carafe amt) not sure if it really is 10cups though.

Thermos is REALLY BIG. The handle helps a lot and is sturdy (plastic - will probably eventually wear and break - time will tell). Keeps a lot of coffee hot and doesn't leak at all. One of the reasons why I changed from the tumblers with caps. The cap can be used as a small mug (nostalgic) - plastic lined with the outer shell being metal. I can feel a little degradation between the two materials when I'm twisting on/off. Metal interior. I like this alot, just wanted to convey the not so perfect aspects. It is my go to.

If you're wondering if your coffee will still be able to provide that warm hug on the inside of you after hours and hours of skiing in the cold windy mountains? Look no further, for you have found your solution. Tried and tested in the cold and windy mountains while skiing (and crashing). It stayed nice and hot for when the comfort was needed. It also looks pretty good out in the wild. If you're thinking of buying one, you won't regret it.

Excellent little thermos. Keeps hot stuff hot or cold stuff cold. For pristine cleanup use a little dishwashing detergent, pour in some boiling water, let sit for 10 minutes, and send in a sponge with a scratch free scouring pad to gently rub coffee stains away. A chopstick or wooden spoon will work well to manipulate the sponge to rub the bottom and sides as clean as it was when new.
