The Little Vacuum Flask

Bought this flask few years ago, used it regularly for milk on the go. Recently switched baby to bottled milk and started using this flask to keep a small amount of boiled water with me so I could slightly warm her powdered milk without having to hunt for a microwave. The water cools down very quickly, but also the flask has developed a dent in it where the flask is very hot to touch on first filling. I thought it got bashed in my bag, but dent is getting worse. I came on here to get a replacement, and now see that the description has been amended. Perhaps time to source a hot mini flask?

I bought this flask because it seemed ideal for one cup of strong Americano coffee to keep me awake when driving home in the late afternoon. In the morning I filled the flask with boiling water and let it stand a few minutes, then emptied it and added the freshly brewed coffee. I noticed with alarm that heat had already been conducted to the outer casing. In the afternoon the coffee was stone cold. I'll take this back to the shop for a refund, but please amend the description to warn future customers that this flask might be suitable for cold milk but not for hot coffee.

Great little flask. Just found out that you can store tea bags / sugar in lid. Didn't mention this on packaging etc

My daughter is lactose intolerant and uses this great little flask to take her Lactofree milk to school for milk break. She loves it because it means she doesn't feel left out when all her friends have theirs. It's particularly good on hot days because we know the milk will still be fresh at break time. Another bonus is that because of the wide neck it's really easy to clean (very important when it's used for milk every day!). It has lasted really well, being used 5 days a week for the last 2 years but the seal has now perished & fallen apart as other customers have said. I hate waste & would love to be able to purchase a new seal so that I could keep using what is otherwise a hardy little flask.

I bought this flask as a container for milk for picnics. The first one I purchased leaked as the finish of the rim was uneven. A replacement was supplied and this one is OK, but it dribbles when pouring and the lid is not easy to clean. I did not realise there is a seal that can be removed until I found an accumulation of stale milk inside it. No instructions for cleaning were provided. I do still use the flask although cleaning is fiddly. A good idea but poor design.

Bought this flask approximately 2 years ago which has been used monday to friday. Initially it didn't leak, and kept liquid cold. However the little seal inside the top of the lid started to perish, and now the flask is no longer useable as it leaks. Reluctant to purchase another one incase it has the same problem.

We have had one of these now for about 2years and it has been in use daily doing a stirling job. However it started leaking as the plastic seal was starting to perish and we cant seem to buy just a replacement. Did buy a new one but would love to get just the seal as it seems such a waste.

I bought one of these several years ago as a gift for a friend who uses soya milk. It's just the right size from him to slip into his bag or pocket when visiting friends or teashops - and it has been used by him almost daily ever since. I've now bought one for myself so that he can have his perfectly chilled soya milk and I can have my perfectly chilled semi-skimmed when we're out and about together!
