How to Find a Coffee Thermos
By souleru
Can you function without coffee? Would you rather not? If you are a workaholic who always needs her daily coffee fix, you might consider investing in a coffee thermos. If you drink coffee every day anyway, you probably know which brew is your favorite and which wakes you up the best. Instead of spending money at the coffee shop everyday, you can still get your coffee while saving money. If you like to drink your coffee in large quantities, you should also invest in a larger coffee thermos if it will keep you functioning at your best every day. Investing in a quality coffee thermos can not only reduce your waste on the planet by not using or chucking paper coffee cups but by keeping your precious and vital dark liquids warm in a great coffee thermos.
What to Look for in a Coffee Thermos
You want a coffee thermos that is easily portable and one that will never leak. Think about if you want it to be dishwasher safe. Do you drive? If so, think about one that will fit your car’s cup holder. Also think about how long you would like to keep your coffee warm. Do you want to keep your coffee warm for a couple of hours or do you want to pour coffee in the morning and still have it hot in the afternoon? If you are extremely efficient, think about whether you want a coffee thermos that can open with one push of a button so your other hand will be free to do what it pleases. Think about leak guards that will enable you to pour your coffee without any spillage. If you really want your coffee pure, think about investing in a ceramic coffee mug if your palate is sensitive and can pick up the metal taste from metal coffee thermoses.
Generally, you should look for a leak proof, spill proof, non skid bottom, double wall insulated wall for a coffee thermos. Look around your office as well as researching online to find the best possible coffee thermos. Remember that coffee thermoses can also double to hold soups since they are manufactured to hold the second most important liquid in the world.
Most coffee thermoses run from $20 to $40, but you will be reducing waste, saving money, and having your coffee every day.

How to Clean a Thermos
If you bought a coffee thermos that you can’t toss in the dishwasher, make sure you clean the coffee thermos thoroughly so you don’t experience the grossness that is buildup. This method doesn’t even require you to wash it and is very easy.
First, you should fill the thermos ¾ of the way with water. Drop in an alka seltzer tablet. Now fill the rest to the top with water. Let it sit overnight, dump out ½ of the water, screw the lid on tight, now shake it like a polaroid picture. Rise out your coffee thermos. You are done and your coffee thermos is now ready for another batch!
