How long are you looking to keep it hot? I’ve used the yeti bottle with the hotshot lid for years while hunting and it will keep 18 oz of coffee hot from 5:30 am til 12 or so when we get back for lunch. Only time it gets cold is when I drink most of it the last little bit cools quicker due to less mass to retain the heat.

As for price they are like $30, how cheap exactly are the Stanley’s that $30 is expensive?

I've had a Zojirushi thermos for 20+ years that is the best I have ever used. They are a maker of high end commercial restaurant equipment. I leave a thermos of hot coffee in my truck and its still hot at the end of the day when I get done hunting even on the coldest days.

My Stanley, Yeti and Yukon dont even come close.

I’ve got a zojirushi too and they are truly incredible.

Stanley replaced my 1 liter bottle 2 times till I got one that worked, stayed hot. They have lifetime warranty. Also found silicone gaskets online that fit Stanley bottles. They're tighter than the original ones. I think that's what goes bad.

What thermos is best to keep coffee very hot for long periods of time? I’ve tried Stanley’s and I’m not impressed.

are you talking about a insulated mug or cup or a thermos. ive used Stanley and Thermos both and never had problems with either. when i worked in the coal mines they both kept my coffee or tea as hot as when i put it in there.

Yeti for me, we have 6 different mugs and I have a 12 can soft sided cooler. Had it for 5 years, stays in the truck bed all hunting season and on the boat. The zipper broke last fall, they wanted a handful of pics. They sent a new cooler and a prepaid label to send the old one back. Took like 10 days and I had a new cooler for nothing out of pocket.

I have a rtic 65 that we use for the beach or parties, and I have an artic 20 in my work truck that gets abused, and works well also. Half price of yeti.

The key is the lid. What type of insulation is in the lid and is it truly leak proof? I have a Thermos brand from the late 1990s. It's the way to go. This is the most similar thermos that has the same style lid that mine does. I took the lid apart on mine. It is better insulated than any other thermos I have.

Also, preheat with boiling water. Once you get half way thru any thermos you are using, it is being filled with cold air. Doesn't matter how well the insulation works when there is less than 50% of hot beverage left mixed with cold air from pouring the first 50%. The only solution to this is to fill a thermos to full capacity that is bigger than what you need to consume. More weight and bulk, but you will have a hot beverage all day.

I preheat mine with HOT water from the spigot. Then add instant coffee powder to the thermos and fill it with boiling water. It stays hot enough from early morning as I drink cups of it throughout the day. The last cup in the mid afternoon is still hot enough. Oh yeah, I'm not a coffee snob. Instant will do for me when I'm hunting.

Preheating is the key with any thermos but I retired my old Stanley. It would be moderately warm after six hours. My yeti oth is scalding hot still. Better tech.

I had a Stanley for years. I’d fill it up from the coffee pot in my office every morning , at 4:45 am , then head underground for the day. I would just rinse it out in the sink at the end of the day. Guys at the mine started to get on me, said I needed to give the thermos a good cleaning. Someone brought a round brush, and some kinda cleaner made for thermos bottles. While cleaning it, I got a rubbery looking film out of the bottle with the brush. Lots of it.

Big mistake. My coffee never tasted the same after that.

I don't drink a lot of coffee so this 12oz stainless steel direct drink bottle made by Thermos is the one I use now. Just preheat with hot water from the spigot and it will be hot all mourning long and still warm at the end of the day. Very compact and light weight so it will fit in any backpack, turkey vest and fishing bag. Also, can be fill with icy cold water so no more noise plastic bottle. No leaks and has a push button lid with locking ring so far it is holding up very well.

if you have a yeti bottle they make a thermos top for their bottles and the cup is insulated as well. Best investment I have made as I have two bottles already. a 30ish oz one and a 18oz one. I just unscrew the normal bottle top for water and use the thermos top.

I still have a 1980s Stanley thermos still sitting in the original box. I only used it a couple of times for soup. It was just too big to carry back then.
