Title: 17 oz. Thermocafe not as good?
Review: Like reviewer mommyofchristopher, I too bought the 17 oz. "Thermocafe" Thermos at Walmart. I have the Thermos/Nissan 34 oz. bottle, and it keeps things hot for the long periods other reviewers have found. The 17 oz. Thermocafe branded model is good for only 3 to 4 hours hot, then it gets noticeably cooler. A case of you get what you pay for?New development: after one week of hot coffee, the pliable plastic/rubber stopper ring now has a terrible smell/taste that transfers to the coffee. Yikes! A strange plastic - burnt taste. I've soaked it in a bicarbonate of soda solution that has helped some, but not enough. I stopped using the "Thermocafe" Thermos, until I figure this one out. Could it be the coffee type? Is the stopper ring made of crappy materials?
