Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Nissan FBB1000 34-Ounce Stainless-Steel Vacuum Insulated Briefcase Bottle
Customer Review: Vastly exceeded performance expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
The Nissan Thermos FBB1000 is a sleek brushed stainless steel thermos with vacuum-sealed insulation and 875 mL storage capacity. The thermos exceeded my expectations on capacity to retain temperature of contents for extended periods of time.
After placing all 3 components in the freezer (-5 Celcius) for 10 minutes, I filled the thermos with 7 1-inch cylindrical ice cubes and immediately capped the thermos. It was placed in direct sunlight with daytime temperatures around 28 Celcius and nightime lows around 12 Celcius. After 48 hours, gentle shaking sounded like the contents remained frozen in ice. By day five, it remained mostly ice. Not until day 6.5 were the original ice cube contents in the thermos completely melted.
While I haven't measured temperatures of hot liquids, the FBB1000 was able to retain the temperature of hot coffee for at least 12 hours.
My rating of five stars for the Nissan Thermos FBB1000 is primarily based on:
* Sleek design
* Durability/quality of materials & manufacturing
* Retains temperatures under extreme conditions for durations far exceeding product specifications
Customer Review: Still Love it after 5 years, use Oxy Clean
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't add much to earlier reviews. I have been using two. I make coffee by hand, and use them to keep it hot. They work well. Mine have gotten all dented from dropping them. I have broken the stoppers by dropping, and putting one in the garbage disposal. However they do sell replacement tops at a reasonable price, with low shipping. It was my fault that the stoppers broke, everything about the thermos has been durable on it's own account. I have found that Oxy Clean powder is the one cleaner that works. My coffee will leave a sludge eventually at the bottom after awhile if I do not rinse them immediately after use a number of times. Generally I just use a bottle scrub brush to clean them, but if that sludge get on the bottom or sides it is very difficult to clean, in fact just about impossible. Except with Oxy Clean. You just put some in and let is set for awhile, the sludge comes out. Otherwise your coffee starts taking on a bit of a taste from that. I have no affiliation to Oxy Clean, but it is a good product to clean things. And the only item I have found to really get these bottles clean if I have not been careful about rinsing the coffee with milk.Customer Review: No more bad office coffee!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it, the coffee at work (or in my case, the computer science department office) is horrid and undrinkable, right? It's dreck.
I've got a beautiful Chemex and french press at home with a good burr grinder and fresh beans, and I'm drinking Folger's--that's just wrong. No more! Despite my hour-and-a-half bus commute to university, I can now make a big fresh batch of coffee at home, bring it with me on the bus, and when it pour it, two hours later, it's still piping hot! Yes, this is more expensive than the $5.99 special at Java City, but:
a) the inside isn't plastic, it's stainless steel. No foul chemicals.
b) those things keep coffee hot for what, all of five minutes?
c) not to mention I can't exactly put those in my messenger bag for the bus ride without spilling over all my papers and books
d) anyone messes with me on the bus (I am in Houston, after all), I can beat them senseless with this thing. I'm pretty sure it's that sturdy.
Given the quality of construction, I expect this small $25 investment will pay for itself many times over. Definitely recommend.
Customer Review: Thermos does not disappoint for cold liquids
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Thermos so I could fill it up with water from the cooler to avoid multiple trips to the dispenser. I have only used it for cold water, but it has not disappointed as yet. Having left the flask half full on numerous occasions at my desk, I am pleased to report that the water remained cool for approximately 24 hours. Some users reported the spillage of liquid when pouring through the specially designed cap. I have not had this problem. You should not spill the contents if you tilt the bottle on a slight angle. Of course, if you completely invert the bottle, as I suspect many are doing, you should expect spillage. It does have a slick aluminum-brushed design, but I do find it a bit bulky and it does not fit neatly into a small tote. I prefer to carry it in my knapsack because it fits better, but once I stick my laptop and a pair of pumps in there, it's too much action. In New York City, you do not want to laden yourself with unnecessary bulk and weight since you will need speed and agility to pass the slow moving tourists during rush hour. Overall, I am happy with the product and would buy it again.Customer Review: This thermos is SICK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently dropped my glass thermos which resulted in instant death (and no coffee all day). So I decided to take a plunge on one of these newfangled stainless models. I never liked stainless because of the strange taste it gives to coffee. This had the same problem, but what I did was use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar & water overnight. Works like a charm. I have yet to taste metal since.
I've had mine a few weeks now, and I am simply amazed at its performance with both hot and cold beverages. If you preheat with hot water, or prechill in the freezer it will keep your beverages super hot or super cold for what seems like forever. 12 hours later my coffee is still steamy hot, and today I tried it with soda. Ice cold after 8 hours, and no doubt it could have went way longer. At work we have instant hot water and I use that to fill the thermos when I leave for the day. Next morning the contents are still hot enough to burn you! How do they do that???
The real test came today when I dropped it full on concrete stairs. Not a scratch. Totally worth the price of admission. GET ONE!
