Ha ha ha ha ha. And adapt it to look like a proper off roader. 5 slot or 7. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

I know someone who swears that the Thomas-the-Tank Engine kiddy flask is the only truly unbreakable flask there is (and I seem to recall that we used them for cave rescue back when I was a CRO volunteer).

I have a stainless flask made by Thermos which has done good work for around 30 years.

A flask is a flask and a stainless steel flask is as good as they get, however if you wish to pay double treble and indeed more for the name printed on them that is up to the individual.

Just buy a stainless flask from anywhere Tescos, Pound stretcher etc. and the quality will be excellent and the price reasonable.
I have been bought expensive flasks as presents and compared with cheaper ones from the before mentioned stores honestly there is no difference in quality.
In fact the flask I most use these days is a double cup stainless I litre steel flask I bought from Aldi for a tenner its been dropped and once kicked by a horse and it is still perfect I need say no more. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Any tips on cleaning them guys ?
I have tried all the tips in google etc and I usually end up chucking them away after a few months as I can't get rid of the brown marks inside. Last time I used a piece of threaded bar and wire wool which worked but tea tasted 'stainless steely' so I binned it.
Don't knock the humble flask. Its much better than service station costa packet muck served by a miserable teenager Smile

A bottle cleaner works well and then every once in a while pop a couple of steradent tablets and warm water to soak.

Top tip
No cleaning required if you just put hot water in the flask and make the coffee in the cup.
Had a SS Stanley flask for 15 years still in perfect working order.

Thick bleach and spash of hot water swilled around will remove the tannins. Just make sure you rinse very thoroughly. I do this for my tea mug in the work shop as the glazing has gone and normal washing doesn't cut it. I just use a few mm of thick bleach and some hot water from the kettle.
