Blush 6322 6322 V.I.P. Incognito Clutch Flask, Iridescent, 18/8 Stainless Steel

Product Information

Here, the Thermos’s insulated stainless steel lid doubles as a serving bowl, and comes with a full-size folding stainless steel spoon.

This fab lightweight flask is designed to survive anything, without messing with the temperature of its contents, keeping your brew comfortably hot for 12 hours. Some of the winners on our list can insulate for more than 24 hours, which is long enough to survive the toughest hike or most gruelling commute.

At the other end of the weight spectrum comes this gorgeous newcomer from Thermos, weighing in at barely more than 200g (before there’s anything in it, of course) and topped with a ‘direct drink’ spout that’s perfect for the train to work. Alternatively, if you’re planning on travelling really light, just pack a baby thermos flask and milk will be guzzle ready with five minutes of the first hungry cry. Finally, there’s an additional loop handle on top so it can easily be attached to bags or simply carried this way. 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.

For this article, we’ve picked out several flasks that excel at insulation, leak-proofness, durability and, of course, value for money.

Once sealed, it can keep food hot for up to six hours, while boiling water will stay piping for ten or more. Key specs – Material: 18/8 stainless steel (not officially dishwasher-safe); Capacity: 470ml; Size: 14. We love that the two pack allows us the chance to keep both water for milk hot and cups of juice or pouches of food cool. Thoughtful details include a twist-and-pour stopper that lets you pour drinks without removing it, and a space-saving handle. 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.
