Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Nissan FBB1000 34-Ounce Stainless-Steel Vacuum Insulated Briefcase Bottle
Customer Review: Thermos does not disappoint for cold liquids
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Thermos so I could fill it up with water from the cooler to avoid multiple trips to the dispenser. I have only used it for cold water, but it has not disappointed as yet. Having left the flask half full on numerous occasions at my desk, I am pleased to report that the water remained cool for approximately 24 hours. Some users reported the spillage of liquid when pouring through the specially designed cap. I have not had this problem. You should not spill the contents if you tilt the bottle on a slight angle. Of course, if you completely invert the bottle, as I suspect many are doing, you should expect spillage. It does have a slick aluminum-brushed design, but I do find it a bit bulky and it does not fit neatly into a small tote. I prefer to carry it in my knapsack because it fits better, but once I stick my laptop and a pair of pumps in there, it's too much action. In New York City, you do not want to laden yourself with unnecessary bulk and weight since you will need speed and agility to pass the slow moving tourists during rush hour. Overall, I am happy with the product and would buy it again.Customer Review: This thermos is SICK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently dropped my glass thermos which resulted in instant death (and no coffee all day). So I decided to take a plunge on one of these newfangled stainless models. I never liked stainless because of the strange taste it gives to coffee. This had the same problem, but what I did was use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar & water overnight. Works like a charm. I have yet to taste metal since.
I've had mine a few weeks now, and I am simply amazed at its performance with both hot and cold beverages. If you preheat with hot water, or prechill in the freezer it will keep your beverages super hot or super cold for what seems like forever. 12 hours later my coffee is still steamy hot, and today I tried it with soda. Ice cold after 8 hours, and no doubt it could have went way longer. At work we have instant hot water and I use that to fill the thermos when I leave for the day. Next morning the contents are still hot enough to burn you! How do they do that???
The real test came today when I dropped it full on concrete stairs. Not a scratch. Totally worth the price of admission. GET ONE!
Customer Review: Couldn't Be Happier...
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, that's not entirely true. I'd be happier if my thermos never ran out of coffee.
Seeing as the odds of endless coffee are very unlikely, I love it just the way it is. I made this purchase about four weeks ago in the hopes of curbing my non-budget friendly, twice daily visits to the cafe downstairs... like magic! I haven't been back since this thermos showed up on my doorstep!
While I haven't done the 24 hour hot coffee test (doing good if my supply lasts 4 hours); I usually fill my thermos with hot water in the evening (god forbid I have an extra thing to do in the morning!), and the water is always still super hot 10-12 hours later when I'm ready to fill it with the good stuff. So... def suits my needs.
The size of the thermos is just right (2 1/2 to 3 mugs to get my day headed in the right direction). Maybe a little heavy to put in my purse when it's full, but I usually chuck it in my bag for the trip home. It has gotten a little dinged up, but I call that "character". It keeps my bevvies hot and doesn't leak at all. That's all I care about.
Customer Review: Fantastic. Clean, pure design.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm extremely pleased with this thermos, I roast my own coffee and was looking for a suitable container to transport it to the office so I could enjoy it all day.
The great reviews of this moddle sold me, and the price was not bad at all for the size.
The coffee from my presto coffee maker is served at about 190°F and even though brewed at 6:30AM the coffee is still steaming hot by noon.
Another thing of note is that the design of the lip does not allow the liquid to drip down the side when pouring, even if the lid is left on. If you've developed the habit as I have of placing a coaster out when you serve a bottle of wine, you'll respect this thoughtful design touch.
Overall, it's a fantastic container and fulfills its purpose simply and elegantly, it's robust design assures me I'll be using it for decades.
I don't see it as a flaw, but there is no handle, and though it fits in my breifcase it's not the most comfortable arrangement. I'm wondering if someone hasn't designed a neoprene or canvas carrying strap...
~Cheers!
Customer Review: Great while it lasts
Summary: 3 Stars
I absolutely loved this Thermos when I bought it. It performs quite well and is easy to clean with dishwasher soap or Dip-It coffee pot cleaner. However, the construction on the one I got was not as hardy as I would expect from a fully stainless steel thermos. After 6 months, the bottom cap came off and I had to glue it back on. After a year, the stainless steel cover came off of the plastic cup/cap. It still worked quite well, even if it looked a bit battered. One other note: before Thermos bought Nissan, one of their unique selling points was their one-piece, seamless thermal liners. I noticed that these Thermos Brand Nissan thermos appear to have a seam.
I would only recommend this thermos if you really treat it gently.
I have replaced this thermos with the hardier-looking Thermos Nissan 34 Ounce Stainless Steel Bottle w/ Folding Handle. It's bulkier, but hopefully it will hold up better.
