Title: Good - in principle only
Product review: A very beautiful item with excellent insulation properties. However, take heed of the directions very carefully! This thermos is only good for water, or at the most fluids that can be READILY RINSED out. So, that pretty much excludes most of the things you might wish to put in there, such as coffee, tea, milk, sugary drinks. The reason? The pouring mechanism, while space-age and cool, cannot be dissembled for cleaning, nor can the inside of the thermos be easily accessed. Brushes and other cleaning devices just don't cut it, so the inside ends up getting very stained. Eventually the seal on the pouring mechanism fails after a few months of drinking your favorite drink percolated through whatever old dried up drink/food that has gotten trapped in the pouring mechanism. Mine lasted about three months and is now pretty much useless. So, do yourself a favor, forgo style over function, and find a thermos with the tried and tested simple screw cap design.
