As for the design, the amount of warmth it keeps the drink at and the fact that it really doesn't leak are top-notch. However, the reason I bought it and paid a lot for it is because it is supposed to be dishwasher safe as stated in its description. After 2 washes, all the exterior paint cracked and now it looks awful…

Excellent thermos, I feel completely safe carrying it in my bag with the company laptop even upside down, because it has a perfect lock and at least 3 things have to go wrong for anything to spill. It hasn't happened to me in over a year that I've been using it!

The only issue is that if you forget to wash it, it's hard to get rid of the bad smells; it needs a dishwasher there, mainly because the lid has a bit of a difficult shape (although other thermoses are MUCH worse... I got this one on purpose because it washes relatively easily) but the hardest part to clean is the lock, which you can't access from anywhere... It's a little button on top that you have to slightly break to remove, or pour soap and/or a bit of bleach inside, let it sit for a bit, and hope it cleans!

In any case, this is a matter of misuse, and the product is not to blame, I should have been more careful! Or I should have had a dishwasher to put it in and relax! Other than that, 5 out of 5, I highly recommend it

Very good, I use it for hot coffee for about 5-6 hours and it stays hot indeed.
The good thing is that you can feel the good materials, I preferred it over the west loop of the same company both for its volume and because it seemed to have a better closure.

As for the drops, it does leave very little liquid, but if you open and close the hole, it sucks the drop inside.

Another general observation about hot beverages is that as soon as you put them in, after a while, you should open and close the mouthpiece again to let the steam out if you use it for hot drinks, this is not a thermal issue but a physical one.

Lastly, my advice is to go and see it up close, as with all products, photos never describe reality.

I use it for hot or cold coffee, it is not easily cleaned at the bottom as the sponge does not reach due to the narrower nozzle. It has a safety feature so it cannot spill, however, it requires a little attention as 1-2 drops may remain in the indentation when opening and closing it with the special button that allows the beverage to come out.

I have had this particular product with me for a few days and I mainly use it at work. I had done a little research online and I can confirm everything that is mentioned about this thermos. It is of high quality construction, it does not retain odors, it is completely waterproof, and it keeps the French coffee hot for a comfortable 5 hours! It is worth its money! As for cold beverages, I have not tried it.
