    Great price.

    Note that this isn't enough capacity to carry a decent lunch, at least for a bloke. If that's what you're looking for I'd say you need 750ml+.

    • +2

      Or buy two of these :)

    • That depends what you are having.

      750ml+ would be a of soup I think.

      • What kind of soup?

      I'm a big (overweight) guy, and I use the Thermos 450ml containers regularly. They're actually a pretty good size for a meal. When I'm camping / hiking etc, I'll have the majority of my meals out of it, in the form of dehydrated "just add water" camping meals. At home I use it as a good way of limiting my serving size to a healthy amount.

    Great for kids warm lunch.

      Only if they can open it.

        Parents to use a bit of common sense when closing the lid, reframe from extremism.

          asio agent identified

    • Bacteria will grow if temperature is under 60 degrees.After a whole morning at school, are you sure at lunch time, the temperature inside is still above 60 degrees?

      It is good way to carry food but not a safe way to keep food warm.

      • the temperature inside is still above 60 degrees?

        I hope NOT!!!!!

        Burning your mouth and your esophagus is a real horrible thing. Discomfort will last for days.

    itll be interesting what the inside on the lid is
    alot of them are just plastic, which defeats the purpose of having all steel insides!

    I know keen kanteen ones have metal inside on the lid but are usually expensive

    • +2

      No it doesn't. Plastic is a better insulator than steel…

      • the inside is stainless steel around the sides and bottom , cause u don't want plastic at high heat, some say it leeches chemicals but they have the lid as plastic, which defeats having steel everywhere else

        • Just don't fill it up all the way, typically if I use mine the food doesn't touch the lid.

    • The lids need to be plastic to be leak proof. The Klean Kanteen lids would still have a rubber o-ring

      • silicone rings, slightly better than plastic I guess

        • I like your attention to relevant details

    I have the 500ml food flask from last year, and it's brilliant. Keeps food piping hot for hours.

    Stainless steel makes coffee taste horrible.

    • +3

      I'll second this. On my last trip I couldn't work out why my coffee tasted weird, thought I had mixed up the potable with river water but it was the stainless. Had access to a few different stainless mugs and they all tasted weird.

    • +1

      very true so we just put hot water then bring instant coffee mix.

    • +5

      Stainless steel is not reactive like aluminum or cast iron vessels. It should not affect the taste of coffee.

      • +1

        I had similar thoughts when I got a stainless Thermos branded mug. Stainless = food preparation material… But the 2 stainless drinking vessels I have absorbed odour like nobodies business. I put milk in one that went a bit 'ripe' and could never get rid of the smell. Steel wool scrubbing, soaking it, venegar & bi-carb, bleach… It defied logic, but it also went in the bin.

        • +2

          Sure it wasn't the residual odors residing in your nostrils?

    • I would like to see a blind taste test to prove this.

    • I've never had this, but water from my old Hydrapak used to taste off until I used a few "Steradent" tablets which worked a treat. Might be worth trying for whatever stainless container you have.

  • Can this keep water cold

    • +2

      yes

    • it insulates. of course.

  • Some people can taste stainless steel but the vast majority can't at all.
    Stainless leaches into liquid but its not bad for you or even good.
    Iron ect.

      Wow, I have a metal water bottle and you can taste it so strongly. I am surprised to learn that some people can't taste it!

      • It might not be stainless steel, it could be aluminium which is more reactive.

    • +5

      Stainless steel is not reactive like aluminum or cast iron vessels. It should not affect the taste.

      If it did then everything you cooked in stainless steel pans would taste bad.

    • +1

      That is better because it is vacuum insulated.

      • Thermos has Insulated double wall vacuum.

        • The Aldi page doesn't say it does

          • +1

            @spaceflight: If you refer to my updated description from Amazon UK, you'll see that.

  • Double wall insulation vs. Vacuum insulation? are they the same thing?

    • +4

      Sorta, but not quite. Double wall means there are two layers, so there is an air gap between the inside wall (in contact with your food or drink) and the outside wall (in contact with the environment). This has the advantage of giving some insulation from the external temperature and also prevents condensation when filling a flask with cold drinks. But air isn’t the best insulator. So vacuum insulated also means it’s double wall, but instead of air between the two layers it’s a vacuum, which gives the best insulation from the heat loss/gain.

    Anyone knows much about noise cancelling headphones?

    https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-29-…

    Should I buy one for flight?

    • +2

      The sound cancelling is pretty good on those but it can get a little uncomfortable on long flights.

  • +1

    Are these dishwasher safe?

    • +5

      I'm sorry but no one has yet invented a "Dishwasher Safe - Noise Cancelling Headphones".

      • +1

        I was referring to the Thermos flask

        • They are

          • @Lucille Bluth: I just read the care instructions that were inside the flask, it said not to put in a dishwasher…

  • +1

    From my experience the only thermos able to keep the contents temperature are those in a glass vacuum bottle.
    Yes, very very fragile but they are the only ones that maintain temperature for more than 6 hours.

    Styrofoam and similar insulators are just good enough for a couple (2 or 3) hours only.

    Remember, you are using and carrying a bulky thermos because you want the contents boiling hot or real cold. Not lukewarm/coldish.

  • +1

    Hell yeah set a reminder for the thermas! Thanks OP

    First the Keep cup from ALDI this week, now this!

  • Bit skeptical it is the same one, keen for someone to confirm

  • Can I order it online on Aldi's website? Cheers
