Not to mention their bad reputation for constructing items containing lead, poison, and other dangerous chemicals. MADE IN CHINA.The plastic had an unpleasant odor, so I returned all four that I ordered. I balk at drinking out of products that are made in the most polluted nation on the planet.
It holds a good amount of coffee and, the most important thing - it stays hot for hours. I bought this thermos because I wanted a large container to hold more than a cup of coffee. I love it and highly recommend 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. I bought the Nissan travel mug in the 16 oz size over 10 years ago and still love it. This thermos is no exception.
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. The smaller version keeps the coffee hotter throughout the day, but you get less coffee. Make sure you fill the big one (this one) all the way full.
This unit also pours very well with a twist open to a marked pouring position. 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. Overall a great thermos. 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 has the standard, "turn counter clockwise and pour." Still though, for the price I can highly recommend it. 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. I drink hot tea, and so far it's stayed hot for 8 hours in this Thermos. It would probably last longer, but by that time I'm out of tea.
