One word: Thermos.
 
Have had my Aladin thermos for over 50 years now and it still knows hot from cold. Used it on small boat duty and on the lighthouse.

I have my newish one, I got it fifteen or so years ago from my ex-wife and my old one that has the big cork for the stopper. Both of them work really well, though when I use the old one it works best if I soak the cork overnight first so it doesn't leak.

$1280 and the freaking handles break off requiring complete replacement?? For that price I'd expect to drop it out the window, while flying, and have it not break...
