:morning:
Opinions please! When I deer hunt here in MO, I stay out all day if necessary and I want a hot cup of coffee regardless of the time of day! Is there such a "thermos"? I've tried quite a few... :camohat:
Yetti keeps it hot........
Are they 1 qt?
Some years back there were "thermos" carriers that were insulated. Now I wish I had bought one!!! :camohat:
zojirushi thermo leak proof, steaming hot 10 hours later, coffee is drinkable the next morning. They make different sizes, mine is 16 ounces. I put it in my vest for later, use any cup for the drive over. I have a yeti cup but you can't put them in a pack without leaking, they may make a "thermo" that I haven't seen.

RTIC makes some good stuff.
I took out my Stanley last deer season and it kept the coffee plenty hot but the handle made way to much noise for my taste. If you do decide to take a Stanley then always preheat the thermos the night before by either putting hot tap water or what I found to work even better is hot water right out of the whistling tea pot. I have opened the thermos a day later that way and the coffee was still quite warm in the thermos, though I would not say it was hot.
Have a Stanley I have used for years. Sir diealot I just removed my handle. I had it duct tape for a long time but then just took it off.
I have had very good luck with Hydroflask. They come in different sizes, but I am not sure if they have a quart model.
I've used Contigo for a few years, they make some nice stuff. As already mentioned, I always preheat the thermos with hot or boiling water from the microwave before I put my coffee in.
I have a 36oz Yeti bottle/rambler/something or other that I use to keep coffee hot all day or water cold all day. It does both really well. I'm assuming RTIC, Ozark Trail, etc would all be very similar. My only complaint is that I have a heck of a time pouring into my cups without a making a mess. As soon as I started backing off the pour, it runs right down the bottle. When it is time for a refill while I'm traveling it is always a "pull over" and refill out the open truck door. I've had mine for years so they may have changed the lids. I have yeti 30oz cups and Ozark Trail 30oz cups and they work nearly the same. FYI
Wal mart brand a lot cheaper and just as good
Wife got yeti and my cheap ones just as good
Just came across this.

I have the 32oz and when I preheat it the same as I do my Stanley thermos it does a pretty decent job. Of course the only time of year I really drink coffee is during trapping season, nasty stuff but it helps keep you warm. By the way, I also have the Stanley food thermos and if you preheat it it will keep your food pretty warm for quite some time. Again it makes to much noise for hunting purposes in my book and I do not want to remove the handles because they they would be hard to carry with my messed up hands.

This x1000. Yeti, RTIC, etc aren't even in the same league as Zojirushi. Yes, they're foreign and , yes, they kick anything else's butt. Pour your coffee at 5 am and it will still scald you 12 hours later if you keep it closed. Heck it will still be warm the next morning when you pour it out getting ready for the next day's fill.
Good old Stanley is hard to beat
My Nissan/Thermos brand thermos works well. But as I drink it down usually by noon I don't know how well it would do by 5pm.
Stanley
If i need to really keep it hot I put bowling water in it for a few minutes , dump and then refill with coffee.
One the way to hunt, right on the floor by the heat vent.

Sorry, just saw this. They come in all different sizes. Will check on it...

Yeti Rambler comes in 26, 30 oz, 36, oz, and other various sizes. Did not see a 32 oz.
I'm currently using Rtic, but may "upgrade" for this fall.
Here's an interesting test.

Hard to beat a Stanley. I've used them for years. If you extend the handle and put a strip of duck tape around the hinges it won't make any noise. you may want to tape up or paint the chrome cup as well if hunting with it.
A lot of good information in those thermos tests.

Stanley. Is the way to roll. As for Yeti, have they changed their stance on outdoorsman? They were supporting the camping crowd and such but was fairly certain they'd taken an anti stance on the hunting crowd. I might be wrong about that though.

There was a thing where they did not pick up a contract with I believe it was the NRA and it was said that they were not supporting sportsman anymore by those that jumped to conclusions, what Yeti had to said about it and I am paraphrasing legal mumbojumbo is that the NRA did not get in some kind of paperwork in time to have them listed as one of the companies that they would sponsor but they would have been fine with picking them up the following year if they were to submit the paperwork in time. I do know they went on to sponsor other wildlife organizations including the NWTF that year. That is all I know about it, I have never bought any of their stuff because there is cheaper stuff that does just as good and I have no interest in keeping up with the Jones's.
Well, that's good enough for me. lol

Thank you to all that posted their experience/opinions! I am always wary of company sponsored tests because the money can get in the way of results.
This forum rocks! :camohat:
Not sure about the 1 quart, but Hydroflasks work well.
Ok, after seeing this post I dug out my 1982 vintage 32oz Stanley the other day. Not a scientific experiment but I pre-heated it with hot water, dumped it and re-added hot water and closed it up. This was in the morning, in the evening I opened it back up and if it would've been coffee it would've been totally hot and drinkable. I couldn't post a pic but mine has a black handle that doesn't move at all, the straps that hold it on are like large wire ties. So for the price and the size Stanley is probably still a good bet.
