Best flask for tea on long shifts

Off-Topic

Looking for recommendations for a good flask that keeps tea hot for a full shift. My current one loses heat after about 3 hours.

Any brands you'd recommend? Looking for something that's durable too as it'll be getting thrown in my bag every day!

Stanley Classic. Keeps tea hot for 24 hours easily. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

+1 for Stanley. Had mine for 3 years and still going strong.

Thermos Stainless King. Good middle ground - cheaper than Stanley but still excellent.

Get one with a lid that doubles as a cup. You'll use that feature more than you think!

How big? 1 litre or more?

@nightshift - I went 1 litre. Perfect for a full shift. Any bigger and it's heavy to carry.

Zojirushi if you want something lighter. Japanese brand, excellent insulation.

Pre-warm it with boiling water before you fill it. Makes a big difference.
