The design on Stelton jug is pretty timeless but I must say that I quite bought into the hype because other than the design, this is just a VERY basic vacuum jug. It's very slim, yes, but it's also made of plastic and the internal glass liner is extremely fragile - the first one broke in shipping although Amazon promptly replaced it. The picnic cap is also a really cheap piece of plastic that doesn't exactly lock properly. In terms of keeping the beverage hot, it works as well as a regular stainless steel Thermos - I warmed up the jug first before filling it with boiling water for tea. The water stayed hot enough to steep tea for about 8 hours. It definitely doesn't work as well as my old Alfi carafe.The only way this vacuum jug could keep your liquid very very hot over an 8 hour period of time is for you to use the thermos attachment, rather than the pour spout. Pour spout can give you about 3 to 4 hour of relatively hot coffee. I still think it' has a well designed pour sputt and the looks of it is stunning in my kitchen. I'm certain I will enjoy it for years to come.I bought this because I just had to have another stelton jug. Love the unique stopper that makes for easy pouring, as well as its clean lines. I gave this 4 stars because the "white" is not a cool white; I was expecting something closer to raw eggshell white, or refrigerator white. Look this up in "champagne," and that's what this color looks like.My wife and I like to joke that the longer you leave your tea in here, the hotter it gets. If I leave it out overnight, the tea may just reach the plasma state. Seriously, we've been incredibly happy with this jug, and hope that it survives long enough to become the design heirloom that others have mentioned.I had a Stelton thermos for 30 years, bought in Demnark. When I needed a recent replacement I was disappointed to see the body of the thermos crack. I exchanged for a new one and now the second casing and lid have cracked.Design is simple,I love itHowever, a scratch on the glass in the showSo little worriedThe cap on the top is extremely flimsy and fall offs without much effort. The jug has a small knob on it that you push into a small hole on the cap. However, it is really loose fitting, tilts a lot when used, and can easily release the cap, causing whatever liquid inside to spill everywhere. If you are using this for decoration it would be fine, I was extremely disappointed with this product because it costs so much, yet has a very basic flaw sacrificing functionality.I love this~~!! I used amazon locker system. It was very convenient & this one is increduble. Good good good~!!Very stylish look, keeps hot drinks for a good amount of time, only down side is the lid as it falls when you open and pour.Bought this as a gift.Looks fantastic but a bit disappointed to find out that the liquid leaks to the side every time something is poured from it.Delivery exactly when advised. Quality product that looks very smart.This item was a gift for a friend. She was highly delighted with it it is very stylish and excellent qualityDie Kanne habe ich selbst und schon mehrfach verschenkt.Sie wird mit 2 Deckeln geliefert, ein genialer Kippverschluss und ein Drehverschluss. Der Drehverschluss ist zum dichten Verschließen der Kanne fürs Mitnehmen zum Picknick usw. Der Kippverschluss ist der Gipfel der Raffinesse. Er wird einfach in die Öffnung eingesteckt, steckt dann locker dort, verschließt zwar die Kanne vor Wärmeverlust, aber wenn man die Kanne zum Einschenken kippt, kann man ohne Drehen oder irgendwas den Kaffee ausgießen, und zwar einhändig.Die Kanne wird mit heißem Wasser vorgewärmt, und die heißen Flüssigkeiten bleiben dann bis zu 8 Stunden warm. Das Innenleben ist aus Glas, so dass sich keine Patina festsetzt, wenn nach Gebrauch mit heißem Wasser ausgespült wird.Ein Reinigen mit womöglich einer Bürste und Spüli entfällt und würde nur beschädigen. Durch das Glas innen ist die Kanne aber auch nur begrenzt robust. Einen Sturz überlebt das Glas womöglich nicht. Ansonsten ist sie durch das Plastik außen aber sehr robust und muss nicht mit Samthandschuhen angefasst werden. Auf jedem Kaffeetisch und in der Küche eine Augenweide, selbst in den Farben weiß und schwarz, immer ein Hingucker und zeitlos schön. Ich kann mich jedenfalls nicht daran sattsehen.
