Sometime circa 1980 I bought a Stanley stainless steel thermos. I was working for the geology department at that time and did a lot of travel in trucks and working in the field. That thermos was great, it kept coffee nice and hot for 8 hours and when I moved into the computer center I kept using the old beat up looking, but still functional, Stanley. After 20 years or so it suddenly stopped keeping stuff hot. My coffee was lukewarm by lunch time. I bought another Stanley. That one just stopped keeping stuff hot. So, I figured 20 years for the first one and 15 for the second, I went to Amazon and ordered a new one. It arrived yesterday. I picked it up and it seemed awfully light. I weighed them on my kitchen scale. Sure enough the new one is a full pound lighter than the old one. Looking at where the handle is spot welded to the side shows the metal of the brackets is visibly thinner. With all that said, I will be trying this new one out and see how it goes, but I'm really glad I don't work where it's likely to get banged around like that very first one. The second one has had a few dents and nicks (for a long time) but not as bad as the first one.
Finally, a question, is anyone aware of a good *rugged* thermos that is as tough as the Stanley of old? Seriously, this new one feels almost as if I could bend the outer shell with my hand.

I had to get a bigger one for my 12 hour shifts during my nursing
preceptorship. Good Thermos, but fucking made in China!!

hour. However, the handle was secured by three small spot welds and
there was a gap between the handle and the body and the thickness of the
shell allowed the handle to flex. Sure enough, one day I heard a hiss as
one of the spot welds failed and the vacuum was ruined. They sent me a
new one and I squeezed epoxy into that gap. As a result, it has been
fine for ~three years now.

The one I bought about 15 years ago was made in China also. I don't know about the one from 1980 because it's long gone. The old one from China is as heavy as the original, so somewhere along the line somebody decided to use less metal to save money no doubt.

My Thermos-Nissan french press is as cool as can be with nearly boiling water in it.

got infested with mice, though the school district was a draw. Moving into,
and residing in an apartment in a school district is not a "scam" anyway.
After kindergarten we moved back, and now this school district is considered
extremely desirable*. John's ex-wife took his son 850 miles away before
puberty so that he would not be under the regular influence of a slimy

that no longer work. No use in hanging on to a lost cause. OTOH,
sometimes you can pick up a gasket or o-ring at a hardware store and
it'll work just spiffy.

Of course you don't need a college degree to do that either. Good

Bullshit!! I just went through a big bullshit problem and solved it

No, my main reason for choosing nursing was I figured direct IRL

Americans now have an abundance of cheaper finished goods to but at
every economic stratum.
As for Wal Mart being economically evil?
"https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications/fedgazette/the-walmart-effect-poison-or-antidote-for-local-communities
Given the terror that Wal-Mart is purported to inflict on communities,
the fedgazette's findings of the firm's economic influence are almost
mundane. Despite its kill-them-all reputation, Wal-Mart is not the
threat that many fear, at least in terms of economic benchmarks commonly
associated with healthy, growing communities.
For example, Wal-Mart is widely believed to destroy local firms and jobs
and to have a dampening effect on wages. But fedgazette findings suggest
the opposite: Firm growth, employment and total earnings were somewhat
stronger in Wal-Mart counties and, in some cases, even in the retail
sector. The research does suggest that retail earnings per job fell in
virtually all counties studied. But they actually fell by less in
Wal-Mart counties."
Don't tell me you're one of those isolationist hoarders who refuses to
'spread the wealth around' with the rest of the world.
Are you?

Sometime in the early eighties, I bought a stainless steel uno-vac. I

it every day. We make coffee in a cowboy coffee pot and pour it into

automatic coffee makers. The thermos is damned near bullet proof. It's
the only thing I use daily from that time period and the best purchase
I ever made for the money.

Google links for "unovac" or "vintage stanley thermos" if you want an
old one. They sell for forty plus bucks.
They don't make durable things like they used to.

so, there are alternatives.
About 20 years ago, I bought a black Krups drip coffeemaker that brewed
into a black 12-cup carafe. I also bought another carafe, in white, for
use during dinner parties (one for high test, one for decaf). These
carafes hold over a quart, and keep coffee hot and fresh-tasting all
day. They have vacuum glass interiors, and plastic exteriors with lots
of air insulating volume.
The black one has been used every day for at least 15 years, since that
Krups machine expired. We brew in a Technivorm or equivalent, pour into
cups, and pour the remainder into the carafe.
This Krups carafe holds temps much better than the Technivorm carafe
does -- better than any thermos I've ever had. Plus the exteriors are
kind to counters and other things that they might bump into. I'd rather
have them than anything with a metal exterior.
So if you are using it in only one place, rather than lugging it around
as you travel, you might consider an alternative like this.
(Like this, but with a plastic exterior: http://amzn.to/1DTENs9 )

The carafe keeps the coffee hot all day. My only concern with it has
been when high-roast beans are used, it can clog up the grinding system
but I solved that problem by keeping the beans in the fridge (in a
sealed container).

So, coming back to report that the new Stanley that weighs so much less still seems to work OK. It's been keeping my daily coffee hot into the afternoon. I generally fill it up around 6:30AM, last cup about 2:30PM. I'm still getting used to the weight, though. Darn thing feels empty when it's still got 2 cups left in it.
As for durability, well I don't ride around in trucks doing field work these days, so maybe it will be OK. We'll see how it does on a motorcycle . . .
