About this deal

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. Textured coatings are useful – it’s a nice touch to have a handle on a drinks flask but generally, for a one-litre flask, it’s more useful to have a textured coating that provides grip. We dropped each flask five times from 90cm to mimic a dropped flask. Those with large dents that inhibited function or ability were rated low.

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. 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. 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. 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. Run the hot water through the spout - if it is a lever airpot - to make sure that the grits and any other residue is thoroughly rinsed out.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. Leave this vinegar and hot water solution to sit inside the airpot overnight - approximately 10-12 hours, or less, depending on how dirty your airpot is.

Without cleaning your airpot properly, the left-over residue from previous heated hot drinks can contaminate your new pot of hot drink. This is not only a health and safety issue which can potentially harm your customers, resulting in food poisoning or other stomach complaints, but it can also taint the flavour of your fresh pot of hot drinks too. Therefore, cleaning your airpot frequently is a necessary requirement for all businesses. Stainless-steel also provides a corrosion resistant layer, which means it will not change the flavour of the hot drink contained in the airpot, no matter how many hours it sits there. Additionally, it is also a long-lasting material, that cannot be easily scratched, scuffed or marked. So, even when faced with the most vigorous of pot washing or handling, which will occur on a day-today basis in busbusy environments, it will not be damaged. Below is an easily followed step-by-step guide on how to clean your airpots, no matter how small – or large - they might be: Unlike some other forms of insulating containers for hot drinks, airpots do not require a warmer and therefore - like the detailed point above - can be used in a wide variety of situations and events. This means that airpots also save space in comparison to other insulating containers.

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. We hand-washed each flask with hot soapy water and let them air dry overnight, then ranked them on smell. 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. It’s 100% leak proof – no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t get any liquid to escape and the automatic opening trigger means you can drink from it one-handed with ease. Finally, there’s an additional loop handle on top so it can easily be attached to bags or simply carried this way. All in all, this is brilliantly stylish and robust
