teapot?

[mercalia]

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.

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:

[mercalia]

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

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..

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....

[mercalia]

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

[gloomyandy]

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

[gloomyandy]

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!

re do the images as I dont see?

[mercalia]
