About this deal

Insulated cup: Good flasks also pay attention to the insulation of the detachable cup, if they have one. This is so your drink stays warm while you’re drinking it. Meanwhile, the outside stays cool, so you don’t risk burnt hands. There are so many reasons why airpots are the perfect choice for any type of business which caters hot drinks to its customers. This is because they are not only efficient accessories which make the day-to-day tasks for your staff members much easier, but they are also wonderful for your customers too. Depending on how often the airpot is used, as well as what it is used to keep hot, complete the step-by-step vinegar and water cleaning process anywhere between once a day, once a week, or once a month. We examined each flask and its pouring mechanism and attachments for faults. We penalised flasks that had faults affecting their usability. We hand-washed each flask with hot soapy water and let them air dry overnight, then ranked them on smell.

Since the American manufacturer, Thermos, came to fame, the term has become slang for vacuum-insulated flasks. Although the terms are largely interchangeable, the original scientific phrasing is 'vacuum flask'. Rinse your airpot with hot water, which is usually dispensed from an attachment above, or other hot water source. Make sure that most of the dirt and grit is removed by swilling the water around and removing the bits which you can deal with manually. This should be repeated as many times as necessary, depending on how dirty the airpot is. A solid performer in testing, SHO’s food flask kept water chilled for the advertised 20 hours and even managed to keep a portion of ice cream very cold, albeit a little melted, for the same period of time. Similarly, it kept hot food such as pasta piping hot over a period of 10 hours. The flask’s design also proved practical as well as stylish, with neat touches including a handy foldable spork, which stores in its lid, and a rubber carry handle. While the 530ml version is suitable for single portions, those of you looking to share may want to opt for the more roomy 800ml option. Make sure that the airpot is cleaned at least once a day – especially if it is used all day long - with a mild dish detergent and hot water. If it is used more than once a day, the step-by-step guide will be more appropriate. Stainless-steel also provides a corrosion resistant layer, which means it will not change the flavour of the hot drink contained in the airpot, no matter how many hours it sits there. Additionally, it is also a long-lasting material, that cannot be easily scratched, scuffed or marked. So, even when faced with the most vigorous of pot washing or handling, which will occur on a day-today basis in busbusy environments, it will not be damaged.

The best flasks to buy in 2023

Run the hot water through the spout - if it is a lever airpot - to make sure that the grits and any other residue is thoroughly rinsed out. Unlike some other forms of insulating containers for hot drinks, airpots do not require a warmer and therefore - like the detailed point above - can be used in a wide variety of situations and events. This means that airpots also save space in comparison to other insulating containers. Capacity: Bigger capacity means more contents to enjoy. It also means more weight to carry, but only if you fill it to the brim. For best insulation, buy a flask that’s slightly bigger (but not heavier) than you need, and leave a couple of centimetres of air at the top. We’ve included capacity and weight info for all our flasks below.

Airpots are very portable and can be used on any sort of flat surface. This means that they cannot only be used by your members of staff behind a counter or other type of service space, but they can also be used by customers at a self-service area, provided they are supervised by staff of course. They can also be used at various parties, meetings or events, depending on what your individual business provides. However, many airpots can be easily cleaned if you know how to do it - all you will need is two very easy to buy ingredients: vinegar and water.

Our pick of the best Thermos and vacuum flasks will keep your brew hot and your lunch cool all day

Add whichever dish detergent your business usually uses and, again, swill this around the airpot. Much like the step above, repeat this as many times as necessary to initially clean the airpot so that it looks clean. When it has been sat for the appropriate time, rinse out your airpot with hot water once more and clean out any residue which might be left over from any previous hot drinks held inside. Leave this vinegar and hot water solution to sit inside the airpot overnight - approximately 10-12 hours, or less, depending on how dirty your airpot is. Multi-wall insulation: Double-wall insulation creates a vacuumed layer, which is vital for keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Some flasks include more layers for even better insulation. The 100% stainless steel construction of today’s flasks means there’s no risk of inner walls shattering when dropped.
