Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 Ounce Beverage Bottle Cranberry Review


Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 ounce beverage bottle cranberry color is a great piece of equipment to carry on daily mountaineering and hiking tours, or when you are biking. I have seen how popular it is in the usual morning rushes in mountain huts in the Alps, when climbers start preparing for their tours and pouring the tea into their bottles, sometimes several of them with the same Thermos bottle.

This is a durable stainless steel tool with a great design and color. It comes with an integrated insulated stainless steel serving cup.

Best place to buy

  • The best place regarding the price and shipping conditions is usually Amazon.com.

Purpose, structure, and construction

Vacuum insulated Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 ounce beverage bottle.
Vacuum insulated Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 ounce beverage bottle.

With the 40 ounces (1.2 liters) of volume, this is a perfect size to bring along your tea or warm soup. You can be sure it will remain hot during your complete day tour regardless of the outside temperature.

As you realize, I am talking about warm drinks which you would carry in this bottle, because this is what you would do in the mountains. But this tool is not limited only for such outdoor activities.

You will use it in practically any situation in your daily life, or while you are on travel. So you can carry cold drink inside, and it will remain cold all the day long, as the picture below indicates.

Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 ounce beverage bottle is a nice item to buy for somebody as a gift as well.

As you can see from the picture above, this bottle has a compact, fold-flat handle. On the top you have a rubber gasket which makes the bottle leak-proof.

Cold or warm stuff, it remains so for 24 hours.

How does it work?

Nearly airless internal chamber between the walls, no convection.
Nearly airless space between the walls, no convection.

This is a double-wall stainless steel construction, with nearly airless space between the two walls. You will be able to see its basic features in the video below.

Normally, the conduction (through the walls) and convection (through the air between the outer and internal wall) will equalize the temperature inside and outside a bottle.  This is close to my field as I am a physicist.

But in the case of King 40 bottle, nearly a vacuum space is created in the area between the two walls, so the convection in this layer is effectively removed.

As a result, according to its specifications, it will keep the liquid inside warm or cold up to 24 hours.

Technical specifications & summary of features

  • Use: mountaineering, hiking, biking, general travel, and commuting, for kids in schools.
  • Capacity: 40 oz (1.2 L).
  • Size: 3.7 x 4.4  x 12.1 in
  • Material: durable stainless steel interior and exterior.
  • Insulated stainless steel serving cup.
  • Rubber top leak-proof gasket.
  • Keep stuff inside 24 hours warm or cold.

Pros and cons

Rating of Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 Ounce Beverage Bottle by Amazon users.
Rating of Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 Ounce Beverage Bottle by Amazon users.

From the picture on the right, which shows the rating of this bottle by Amazon customers, you can realize how enormously popular and highly rated it is. The picture suggests that an absolute majority of users are very happy with this tool, around 2470 of users gave it the highest rate 5/5. I suggest that you have a look by following the link above.

But I have seen some complaints about damages found upon delivery, in particular on the cup. In such cases, the item should be returned.

There are some other complaints as well. So a possible summary of pros and cons would read as follows:

 Cons  Pros
  • Complaints that it does not keep water warm as prescribed.
  • Claims that it loses heat retention feature with time.
  • Some reported non-durable paint.
  • Hard to find any other brand with such a great heat retention.
  • Great design. Kids love it.
  • Durable & unbreakable stainless steel.

I would warmly recommend you to follow the Amazon link above and to read some of the reviews.

Compact 16 ounces bottle

Note that there also exists Thermos Stainless Steel King 16 Ounce Compact Bottle as well, in both colors, midnight blue, and cranberry. So this is a 0.47 liters version, with identical features except that it does not have the handle. This would be more appropriate for carrying your coffee. I am addicted so it is natural that coffee comes first in mind.

According to the specifications, it keeps water warm up to 12 hours, and cold water will remain cold up to 24 hours.

King 68 bottle

Finally,  from the same brand, you also have Thermos Vacuum Insulated 2L/68 Ounces Stainless King Beverage Bottle.

This is a bottle for couples or groups. Here again, you have a completely the same design and features like in the case of King 40 bottle. This bottle is available in midnight blue and matte black colors.

Conclusion

So with this, I conclude my Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 ounce beverage bottle cranberry review. This is a beautiful piece of equipment and a nice thing to offer as a gift to somebody, or to be used by kids in schools. You will notice that it can nicely be combined with a food jar of the same brand and with very similar design, have a look into this text in my site.

    Hi Jovo!
    I have been mountain biking for the past four years now and I have been looking for a new beverage bottle to replace my existing one. I wasn’t happy with my old model because it didn’t really work well in terms of maintaining temperatures. But this Thermos Stainless Steel bottle looks to be exactly what I need.

    I can think of numerous other places to use the bottle, like the beach, the pool the golf course and even baseball practice.

    The water bottle I use for baseball practice always gets hot no matter how much ice I put in it. And it’s a pain in the rear end trying to get enough ice cubes into the small opening of the bottle.

    The price of the bottle is very reasonable.

    Is there a hook on the bottle that would let me hang it on fence? If so, that feature would also be nice for baseball practice to keep it out of the dirt.

      Hi Rob, no there is no hook but there is a very nice handle which will serve the same purpose.

    Jovo, I loved your post on the cranberry 40-ounce stainless steel Thermos. You’ve got tons of visuals, not a lot of text, and pretty much what a hiker would want to know. I like the cranberry model, and by watching the video I know there’s a midnight-blue model, but are there any more colours it comes in? The video is great because it gives you some context about its size. I also had no idea you can pour them without taking the lids completely off.
    We’ve got a squadron of MEC thermoses at home here – they’re slim for backpacking – but I think these Thermoses are worth a look.
    Good job!

      Hi Larry, the two colors you see are the only that exist, both great as you realize. Thank you, great to hear from you.

    Hi Jovo! I’ve been hiking for the past two years now and I’ve been looking for a new beverage bottle to update my current worn out ones. I wasn’t happy with my old models because they didn’t really work well in terms of maintaining temperatures but this Thermos Stainless Steel King 40 Ounce bottle is exactly what I need. And at just $34.99 it’s really inexpensive considering all the impressive features of this product. I’ll be giving this a try thank you very much for sharing.

      Hi Julie, you will make a good step by purchasing this beverage bottle. You are right about the price for such a great tool. All the best to you and thank you for visiting my site.

    I typically use a thermos mainly for when I go to work. As you have mentioned the biggest issue, I have found with other thermoses is the duration one can expect before the contents will lose their temperature.

    The ones I have been using would be lucky to make an 8 hour period so the product you’re offering is triple the time they can handle.

    Sounds like you found what I’ve been looking for and need. Thanks for the update for a better product on the stainless steel king.

      Hi Travis, thank you for the comment, great to hear from you. I know well what you are talking about, I have tried a few as well. We have several different types of these beverage bottles at home. I love in particular the design and colors of King 40. All the best to you.
