Product packaging

The Thermos from milu were delivered together with other products in a common shipping carton. The shipping box was compact and the individual products had little room to slide around. Therefore, the remaining space in the shipping carton was filled with filling material made from recycled paper. The product packaging was undamaged and in flawless Condition. Both the shipping carton and the product packaging were easy to open. The product packaging is black and white.
The jug is in a transparent Bubble Wrap packed. The slide offers additional protection against dirt and damage during transport. The cleaning brush is additionally wrapped in foil. Since the product packaging is sufficiently robust, we could have dispensed with the films. Overall, the set is well protected in the packaging and, with the exception of the foil, unnecessary packaging material has been dispensed with.
The packaging of the thermos flask is partially recyclable. The plastic film is unfortunately not recyclable, but the product box is.
By and large, the thermos makes one very good Impression.

For the test, we filled the thermal cups with boiling water in the morning. The filled liquid was also after our test phase of approx. 10h still very warm and hardly lost temperature. Even chilled drinks stay cold for a long time. The outside didn't get hot or cold and lay enjoyable in the hand. In our test, the cups were absolute leakproof, no liquid spilled even when tipped over and shaken. We can also confirm the specified filling quantities of 500ml, 750ml and 1000ml after our test.
Pouring works thanks to the "One Click" closure easily out of hand and above all the danger of spillage reduced. It is so well thought out that it can be easily opened and closed with just one hand at the touch of a button. The removable outer lid allows for comfortable drinking, making it ideal for on road.
The lid is dishwasher safe. The thermos itself is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand. Due to the material used, cleaning in the dishwasher is not possible, as is the case with other thermal containers. The thermos should be stored with the lid open when not in use.
