Thermos 184625 Lever Action Pump Pot, 2.5 L Black

Product Information

When it has been sat for the appropriate time, rinse out your airpot with hot water once more and clean out any residue which might be left over from any previous hot drinks held inside. There are so many reasons why airpots are the perfect choice for any type of business which caters hot drinks to its customers. This is because they are not only efficient accessories which make the day-to-day tasks for your staff members much easier, but they are also wonderful for your customers too. As a result of the small, and often very intricate areas in airpots, they can unfortunately be troublesome to clean. Unlike espresso machines, and other forms of hot drinks dispensers, airpots can be quite difficult to clean by hand. Therefore, they have a tendency to retain some of the coffee grits, or other contaminating materials from other hot drinks in the crevices of the inside pot.

Again, much like the push button airpots, lever airpots are named very aptly. They feature a lever, typically positioned at the bottom of the airpot. Unlike the push button airpots, which typically have the button positioned on the top of the container, Lever Airpots release the liquid when the leaver is depressed. Multi-wall insulation: Double-wall insulation creates a vacuumed layer, which is vital for keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Some flasks include more layers for even better insulation. The 100% stainless steel construction of today’s flasks means there’s no risk of inner walls shattering when dropped.Rinse your airpot with hot water, which is usually dispensed from an attachment above, or other hot water source. Make sure that most of the dirt and grit is removed by swilling the water around and removing the bits which you can deal with manually. This should be repeated as many times as necessary, depending on how dirty the airpot is. A Thermos King will last years but it’s not officially dishwasher-safe, and you’re not even meant to submerge it in water (if you do, you kill the manufacturer’s 50-year guarantee). Inquisitive users report that it does survive the dishwasher intact, albeit with peeling colour.

Insulated cup: Good flasks also pay attention to the insulation of the detachable cup, if they have one. This is so your drink stays warm while you’re drinking it. Meanwhile, the outside stays cool, so you don’t risk burnt hands.

Also called catering flasks or thermos pump pots, airpots are well-insulated, as well as being easy to transport, and are very simple to use for all your members of staff. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to; buffets, cafes, restaurants, events, parties, meetings and even outdoor events. This is because airpots are able to keep either coffee, tea, or other types of hot beverage at a high temperature, for a number of hours. Airpots are also a simple alternative to making your hot drinks fresh every time. Make sure that the airpot is cleaned at least once a day – especially if it is used all day long - with a mild dish detergent and hot water. If it is used more than once a day, the step-by-step guide will be more appropriate. However, many airpots can be easily cleaned if you know how to do it - all you will need is two very easy to buy ingredients: vinegar and water.

None of the flasks leaked from the main body – however, some flasks can't be filled to their stated capacity without liquid coming out when you screw on the lid. We hand-washed each flask with hot soapy water and let them air dry overnight, then ranked them on smell. We examined each flask and its pouring mechanism and attachments for faults. We penalised flasks that had faults affecting their usability.Depending on how often the airpot is used, as well as what it is used to keep hot, complete the step-by-step vinegar and water cleaning process anywhere between once a day, once a week, or once a month. Much like the two different types of airpots detailed above, there are also, typically, two different materials to choose from - glass liners and stainless-steel liners. A solid performer in testing, SHO’s food flask kept water chilled for the advertised 20 hours and even managed to keep a portion of ice cream very cold, albeit a little melted, for the same period of time. Similarly, it kept hot food such as pasta piping hot over a period of 10 hours. The flask’s design also proved practical as well as stylish, with neat touches including a handy foldable spork, which stores in its lid, and a rubber carry handle. While the 530ml version is suitable for single portions, those of you looking to share may want to opt for the more roomy 800ml option.
