For the test, we filled a warm tea into the thermal container. Even after our test phase, which lasted around 8 hours, the liquid was still very warm and had hardly lost any of its temperature. This is perfect for keeping baby food jars warm, for example. Even chilled liquids stayed cold for a long time. The outside was neither hot nor cold. It was comfortable to hold. The container proved to be absolutely leak-proof in the test, even when tilted and shaken. We can also confirm the stated filling quantity of 500 ml after our test.
Opening the container is very easy. The removable, bowl-shaped outer lid allows practical portioning and is therefore ideal for on the go. Filling is also easy. The non-slip rubber base of the container ensures that it stands securely.
The retractable spoon is particularly practical. It has a fixed place in the screw cap. This prevents it from slipping and means it is immediately ready for use when needed without having to search for it. The spoon is easy to open and is a convenient size for eating.
The thermo mug is not dishwasher-safe and must be cleaned by hand.
