teapot?
Re: teapot?
The Thermos flask above after 8.5 hrs was 72 C starting as 89 C. So the Thermos flask is much better than the DD one but is double the price.

Re: teapot?
Thanks, that is really useful information. I have a feeling that the DD will not fit well in the bottle cage I'd like to use. I have a pretty small frame and have a side access cage on the seat tube that only takes a 500ml bottle. Is that pink bottle a 750ml one?
This is the size I currently use:

Re: teapot?
the pink bottle is a poundlander 500ml bottle filled to the top.
the DD is only 400ml or so without filling to the top
total height is 20cm , to the neck is 17cm diameter is approx 7.0cm
the thermos is 22cm total tall and 19cm to the neck and diameter about 6.5cm so narrower
all dim without cork

Re: teapot?
Hmm I think the DD one would fit, but the "neck" on all of my bottles seems to be at 14/15cm so I suspect the fit would be very much like your picture. Has anyone come across a thermos designed to fit a bottle cage better than this?
Oh and thanks for taking the time to measure all of that and post! Much appreciated.

I think it would then be a very low capacity thermos flask as you have to allow for the double wall? - maybe look at the thermos website as they have lots and lots of differnt models even lower capacity than 500ml

This one..
https://www.thermosonline.co.uk/store/T ... 47L/sp_624
Looks like it might fit a bottle cage very well. I've seen reports that the narrow section lines up well with the "clamp" bit of a cage. I suspect it will be too tall for my setup though. Hmm if I move my pump I may be able to fit it in....

Re: teapot?
Dimensions: 25cm x 7.4cm (Height x Diameter)
7.4cm diam maybe be a tight squeeze
The DD one with stopper in is about 24.5cm tall
if you get one report back about the "waist"
its got a nice warranty - 50 years, have to put it in your will

Re: teapot?
Decided to give it a try (can always use a small flask!). Will let you know how well it fits a bottle cage!

Re: teapot?
So my flask arrived! As you can see the "waist" is in the just about the right spot (ideally it would be a little bit higher, but it seems to lock in ok)...
It even works with my side inserting cage and it fits inside the frame!
