Stanley 1.1Qt Classic Vacuum Bottle

I hate the new lid design! Every time I pour coffee, it drips and spills onto my desk and runs down the outside of the bottle. So I have to "wipe-up" afterwards. It's really annoying. I miss the "pour through" lid immensely. Also, I use the "cap", which is not insulated, as a cup, so the hot (very hot, I might add) cap doesn't lend itself well to being used as a cup. Cheap, crappy design. I'm looking for something else.

This unit is made in China and the only thing in common with the previously American made unit is the enormously high price tag.

My unit started leaking under the cap about one month after I purchased it. I bought a new cap only to find that it was a manufacture defect in the sealing area of the unit. This was nursed along by over tightening the cap until it eventually slipped a thread. After that I got into the habit of turning the unit upside down (allowing the unit to leak into the cap/cup) before opening it.

Soon after this, the spot weld area for the handle gave way. Welded in three spots, two of which clearly have paint on the originally intended upon welding surface.

Tonight the thing leaked all over my wife's lap as she merely intended to open it and that was the last straw. This thing is a TURD!

The only reason I did not give it one star is because it does have good thermal qualities.

Excellent product. Seals itself tightly and liquid stays hot (we preheat the thermos before putting in coffee). Also like that the stopper is solid, making it easy to clean.

Thermos is the heavy-duty Stanley quality we know & love. This was a replacement for my husband's old and battered original which has been missing its cap for some time. When you consider the years that one can get out of a Stanley thermos, it's surprising the price isn't higher! Item was a good value, esp. with free Prime shipping, and came in perfect condition.

I accidentally drop this twice and no sign of craked! We always take this for fishing trip & camping and it really keeps it warm for a long time. I would really recommend this product.
