| sweetsue_98's Full Review: Nissan 1-pt Stainless Steel Vacuum Commuter Bottle |
The name Nissan brings one thing to mind and that is cars and trucks. They make an excellent product, but did you know that they make, in my opinions and experience, the best “thermos” bottles on the market?
No doubt we all have a “thermos bottle” of some make or brand, and for the most part, they do a fair job of keeping the liquid warm. I received this Nissan 1-pint stainless steel “commuter” vacuum bottle as a Christmas gift at least ten years ago. This product has been used many times and looks as great as the day I received it.
Normally we have our coffee in the morning, and have little if any reason to take some “on the road” with us anymore, however, this has been used in varied situations and the coffee is always hot. I used to work at a job that required me to arrive very early, and I always took this product with me. There were no surprises when I opened it up and the coffee was just as hot as when I put it in there.
My husband used it for over five years in a job that required him to be outdoors in the woods all day. He would always put hot water in this thermos for about five minutes, and then after getting the inside nice and hot, poured the water out, and put a pint of hot, freshly brewed coffee inside. Later in the morning when they would take a quick break, he was always happy to have hot coffee, but was even more amazing was at the end of the day on the way home, he would pour the last bit out to drink, and it was still hot. Much of his work was done in the winter in very cold temperatures.
This product really does work!
So what is so special about the Nissan brand that is different from many of the others on the market? Most of those on the market are glass lined (of course you know what happens to those when you drop them) and of course there are others that are insulated with other materials. Nissan is different because they use a true vacuum chamber that keeps the hot things hot, and the cold out. Therefore, you have hot coffee. It does not break if you drop it, and will last for an indefinite time. Yes, you will pay more as this one retails for around $40, but well worth the money, when you consider that we have owned it for 10 years, and there is no apparent signs that it won’t be around 10 more years from now. It comes with a five-year warranty.
This sleek item is well-designed and easy to use. The “stopper” for lack of a better word is easy to twist off, or can be partially turned for pouring out of the bottle without removing the top. It also has an equally clean designed top cap that can be used as a drinking cup.
It is easy to clean; just empty out any remaining coffee or other beverage, rinse with hot water, and set on a towel to dry.
Frankly, I do not know why anyone would purchase any other brand. You may pay a little more, but your coffee with always stay hot throughout the day and you most likely will own this product for 25 years. .
