Drink Pod Vacuum Insulated Flask, Stainless Steel, Satin, 200ml

The Drink Pod is ultimately one of those near-perfect designs that you chance upon only a few times every year. It performs the simple task of keeping a mug-sized amount of beverage hot, can be used as a mug itself to drink straight from the flask, but also is pourable if you wish to drink from a mug or a cup. The stopper fits tightly and is leak proof, the flask keeps a 70C liquid hot for at least 8 hours without difficulty (yes like a nerd I've tested it with a thermometer) and with a removable plastic flange at the top of the flask it is very easy to clean. The metal is tough enough to withstand mild knocks while outside and the stainless steel is of sufficient quality to withstand tarnish and staining to a good level. All-in-all its a really good, effective little cup/flask for those heading outdoors and for me combines well with a small Jetboil stove to keep me in hot Tea and Coffee throughout a strenuous day out in the hills.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago and it has had a lot of use. Never leaked, stays hot etc. It is just the right size for me (200ml) so about a cup full of drink. Very easy to clean. My wife started using mine as most of hers (other brands) leaked at some point. Then she used it all the time so I bought two more. Fantastic item, really convenient to use.

I use this to carry milk to work, as I don't trust the hygiene standards at my work place. It keeps milk cold for 12 hours, easily; it's sturdy and well made. It does tend to be a little unstable on anything other than a perfectly flat surface, however. Don't be taken in by the German sounding name and the 'Sheffield, England' labelling, though. In tiny print on the box it says 'Made in China'. Addendum; the flask is sealed by two silicon rings; these are not solid, but have a 'u' shaped profile, which traps fluid. This means that every time I use the flask I have to remove these, & wash them separately, otherwise milk (for example) gets trapped and goes off, starting to smell very quickly. They are quite flimsy, so I don't expect them to last very long. The manufacturer really ought to use a more substantial and solid seal.

I travel by train quite a lot for work and have been looking for this kind of flask for some time - one that has all the qualities of a traditional flask but the convenience of an insulated mug. It's solid stainless steel - very cool looking - but fairly lightweight. Drinks stay hot for a good few hours and crucially it is watertight so can sit on it's side in my workbag without soaking anything. What I really like (and the critical deciding factor for me) is that once the top is unscrewed, you can sip coffee from it as you would with a cup. I wouldn't want to be pouring my coffee into a plastic cup whilst on a crowded commuter train and so the Drink Pod ticks all the boxes for me. It has a great look to it, stylish and compact - fitting easily into my hand - and is no bigger than a compact umbrella so will slot into those side pockets of travel bags that are designed for small water bottles. In terms of quantity, it holds 200ml, which doesn't sound a lot. In reality this is the amount you'd get in a large cup or small mug so it's not a massive reserve of a drink, but a bigger volume would need a bigger flask so it depends what you want. The convenience of a hot drink is worth the compromise and considering the £2+ you'd pay for a coffee at the station, this is a win-win for me. I love it and enthusiastically recommend it to you.

Great quality flask. Keeps my coffee nice and hot. Just could do with a slightly larger container.

It leaks!! It's such a shame, because it's the perfect size. But there is a product flaw. So the lid screws tight, and it won't leak when it's in a bag or pocket, but when you pour it somehow leaks and when you drink from it you get coffee everywhere. Please fix it because it's the perfect size!!!

What a great little flask. I used today for the first time, out on the golf course in pretty cold conditions, icy air, temp 2-3 degrees C, and my coffee stayed hot for over 3 hours, warm for another 2. All others seem to keep hot drinks hot in warm conditions, not near freezing, so this little flask is perfect. If I had topped up in the pro shop halfway round, I’d have had piping hot coffee for my entire round - amazing!

Brilliant, fantastic! Keeps my coffee hot for longer than any other flask, easy to use and to clean and just the right size for me. I love it!

Leaky and extremely poorly designed. There is no chance the silicon seal will prevent leakage after a short length of time.

Lo uso da alcuni mesi. L'ho scelto perché non volevo roba tutta in plastica e lo cercavo dal design piuttosto elegante. Il Termos è corrispondente alle aspettative. Cercavo un piccolo termos da portare a lavoro, piccolo e leggero, che si potesse inserire nel piccolo taschino laterale del mio zainetto Kipling, e la misura è perfetta per questo uso. La bevanda rimane certamente ben calda per diverse ore, non ho fatto la prova per una giornata intera. Abbastanza facile da lavare (io sempre a mano, per non rovinare le parti in plastica).

Fantastische kleine Thermoskanne für genau eine Tasse Kaffee. Hält für einen Tag gut warm und bislang hatte ich noch keine Probleme bezüglich auslaufen. Nettes Design und sieht aus wie im Amazon Webshop abgebildet. Passt knapp in die Hosentasche, jedoch ist sie in einer Handtasche besser aufgehoben. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Une petite gourde vraiment pratique de part sa taille réduite, c'est qualitatif, ça garde au frais/chaud comme un Thermos, rien à dire c'est juste impeccable.

I delayed writing this review as I wanted it to be fair and accurate. I'd been searching for a vacuum bottle of this small size for years to no avail. I was quite pleased to finally find one here on Amazon. I was a bit disappointed when I opened the package and found the silicone sealing o-ring deformed. My first thought was to put it back in the box and return it for a refund. However, there is no other alternative (that I know of) to this product. I decided to keep it and see whether it would leak or not. I used it twice a week and it did not leak! And after a couple of weeks, the deformation in the silicone o-ring relaxed, leaving the o-ring in its intended dimension, earning the five stars I gave it! I intend to purchase a second vacuum bottle to keep on hand in case I misplace or lose this one.
