How is isothermicity tested?
We tested this food bottle in the laboratory, in accordance with EN 12546-1, at an ambient temperature of 20°C, filled to capacity. The time taken to go from 95°C to 50°C (drinking temperature felt to be warm enough to drink) is 23 hours.
The secret of the isothermal water bottle?
The double-walled, air-vacuated stainless steel of this isothermal flask blocks heat by conduction and convection. A thin layer of copper limits heat exchange by radiation.
Here are a few tips to improve isothermics: fill your gourd with hot water for 5 minutes, then replace the water with your hot liquids and close it. The fuller the gourd, the better the preservation.
Please note that, as the gourd is very isothermal, liquids will remain hot for a long time.
Features
The cap is easily opened with one hand by pressing the white button where it says "PRESS". During transport, this button can be locked by sliding it downwards. A red space then appears, indicating that the stopper is locked, and it is no longer possible to press down.
The stopper has a built-in filter for filtering foods such as brewing fruit or large tea leaves. Not suitable for very fine teas.
Maintenance tips
The product is dishwasher-safe (cap + body). In this case, be careful not to lose the cap seals. Leave cap open to dry. The seal at the top of the cap can be removed for thorough washing and drying.
