A couple of years ago, I went looking for a new Stanley Thermos and had a hard time finding the one I wanted. I ended up getting it at Target. Like other posters have said, you will get better results heating with hot water or cooling it ice cubes.

Another tip I learned was using automatic dishwasher detergent to wash it. Just pour in some crystals, add a little hot water, put on the lid and start shaking it for about 5 min. Rinse it out, let it dry and your thermos will last a long time. I learned this trick from the old army canteen days...

Hey VeggieMeat,

Can't help you on the thermos, I too am a coffee aficionado.

If you like strong coffe go to Starbucks and get a bag of Komodo or Sumatra. Have them grind it on #4 setting, its baby powder.
When this stuff mixes with hot water from the coffee machine, its black , 10w30, rocket fuel.
Never had them grind it regular, the finer the grind...the more surface area gets brewed..mmmm,mmmm!!!

I don't stop in and have a few cups in their stores that often, I brew it at home.

**This stuff to me,must be what a drug addict feels about crack cocaine....I'm hooked and won't accept any substitutes.

Cohiba...4/6 cups every morning...breakfast of champions

Of all places, Eddie Bauer has the old school Stanley. Target and WalMart does too, but Eddie Bauer had 4-5 different sizes and pieces last I looked.

One thing you might consider is to cold brew and then just add hot water to it.
Cold brew is double strength, so you add 1:1 boiled water to have hot coffee.

This gives coffee an even better taste than french press, and it stays tasty much longer.
When you have coffee at an elevated temperature for a prolonged period, it continues to cook and break down.
