I blogged about glass bottles earlier this week, and the theme of the month has been about learning to avoid BPA in all of its nefarious shapes and forms in the kitchen.. but what happens when you want to take your hot or cold beverages on the go?!
For those instances where glass may not be the wisest option due to the breakage factor (going hiking, for instance) the next best option to avoid BPA and maintain a sustainable lifestyle is… *drumroll*… stainless steel!

How Vacuum Bottles Work
This bottle really ideal for on the go drink storage, ESPECIALLY now that it is fall, with winter approaching, and hot drinks are pretty much mandatory this time of year, haha. A vacuum bottle is a super-insulated flask. The bottle has an inner chamber and an outer case separated by two layers of stainless steel with a vacuum in between. There’s also a tight, screw-down stopper on the top.
These few, simple features prevent virtually all heat transfer by either conduction, convection, or radiation. The vacuum prevents conduction. The tight stopper prevents air from entering or leaving the flask, so convection isn’t possible either. There’s virtually no way heat can escape from a vacuum flask and a hot drink stored inside will stay steaming hot for several hours.
Flasks also work for cold drinks. If heat can’t escape from a vacuum flask, it follows that heat can’t penetrate into a flask from outside either. The sealed stopper stops heat getting in by convection; the vacuum stops conduction, and the metal lining between the outer case and the inner chamber stops heat radiating in either.
Whether you like your coffee piping hot or icy cold, vacuum bottles are an absolutely brilliant way to keep your drinks just the way you want. This particular bottle keeps cold liquids at their initial temperature for up to 24 hours and hot liquids at their initial temperature for up to 12 hours!
And did I mention that this bottle is BPA free, and available in 4 fun colors?! (Black, white, grey and purple!)
More Reasons to Choose Stainless Steel Bottles
This particular bottle is made with 18/8 stainless steel – which means the bottle is comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The chromium binds oxygen to the surface of the product to protect the iron from oxidation (rust). Nickel also enhances the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. (The higher the nickel content, the more resistant the stainless steel is to corrosion.) This is a fairly common type of stainless steel for drinking vessels, and it is completely SAFE and environmentally friendly!
When it comes to reducing waste, saving money and being healthy, stainless steel bottles are most definitely one of the first and most important steps you could take. According to some estimates, if you traditionally purchase bottled water, switching to a reusable water bottle and simply using water filters will save you tons of cash, up to $200 a month depending on your current buying habits!
And of course, it means far less waste: 30 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away each year, and it takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to produce all that plastic and about 1,000 years for the bottles to decompose. (Yikes!)
So it goes without saying that stainless steel lasts longer! This holds true even when held up against BPA free reusable plastic. Reusable plastic wears out faster than you would think! Reusable plastic gets cracked easily, is prone to damage by heat or sun, and can be scratched easily. As soon as plastic shows any signs of wear it’s no longer safe to use. But steel is durable, and doesn’t wear out over time!

It sounds and looks like a very impressive bottle. I’ve seen similar styles around. They’re very eye-catching! I didn’t know they also stored hot beverages though. That’s definitely a game changer for me because I have a habit of making hot beverages and forgetting about them. I like the idea that it could be kept hot for a while.
Yeah, and it really does! Like, straight up legit! Hubby takes these to work in the cold, and they stay piping hot all night!
I love the design of this bottle. I am a huge coffee drinker and this would be perfect to keep my coffee hot when I take my walks by the lake.
YES!!! Coffee and pumpkin spice and apple cider pretty much lives in this bad boy now, haha!
My husband would absolutely love this! I have him take his coffee to work everyday because I don’t want him buying out and he uses the crappy, cheap-o bottles. This is so much better!!!!
YES!! OMG, get on this girl!! <3
Great giveaway, good luck to everyone.

Wow, this flask sounds amazing; I love that it keeps the heated beverages hot for several hours! I’ve tried flasks in the past and have given up taking drinks to go because they never worked at insulating the heat, I’ll definitely need to check out this brand. Thank so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great week so far!

This one is actually kind of trippy… if its cold out, the bottle will FEEL cold, but the liquid inside is still piping hot! It is pretty cool! <3
I’ve heard about these bottles because I also try to use less plastic. These have a great benefit.

I run every morning and of course you need to stay hydrated so I’d use this on my runs! And when I’m not running, it would be great to take some hot coffee with me. 🙂
thanks!
I ride my bike to work year round and take coffee with me everyday. The bottle would help keep it hot in during the cold winter months.
This will be a nice replacement for some of the older water bottles we have kicking around… adding some to my Christmas wish list.
Yeah, I am planning on buying more too! Good luck on winning!
😉
Boa sorte pra todos!
Ótima quinta!
Beijo! ^^
Looks and sounds a good product.
All the best Jan
I would use it for coffee
I really love the design of the bottle. I would use this everyday to store water in.
Good luck!!! <3 <3
This would be perfect for keeping my juices cold while I’m out and about
My husband farms and often carries water in the cheap plastic bottles they come in. He also re-uses the bottles. This would be so much better for him.
This would be great for airplane travel. Bring it in empty, fill up after passing through security, and never get dehydrated while flying again!
You are BRILLIANT!!!
My husband loves using quality stainless steel water bottles, so if I won I would give it to him as a gift.
How sweet! Yeah, hubby stole mine, haha…
Coffee on my morning commute>
I would use it to store ice cold water, which would be PERFECT after a long run!
I would use the vacuum bottle to keep my ice tea cold and help me stay hydrated through out the day.
It would too, this thing rocks!! <3 Good luck!
I would use it when i walk
I would use this to take my coffee with me & keep it hot!
I would take it to work.
