If the thermos is made of premium stainless steel, as ours is, protecting your health is the number one benefit. Why so? Plastic bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate. Sounds scary and it is. What happens when this material comes into contact with hot water is that it releases the chemical bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA. This compound is harmful to the organism, as it leads to a variety of issues, including dizziness, depression, nausea, and whatnot. So steer clear of plastic and your body will thank you.

By choosing multiple-use thermoses over plastic you show you care about the environment and want to help anyway you can. Gold star for you! Did you know that manufacturing companies use millions of barrels of oil every year to create plastic bottles? There’s more. Only a small number of named bottles are recycled after use – to be more precise, 38 of 167 disposable bottles. Billions of them go to waste every year, polluting large volumes of landfill and waterways. Choosing reusable thermoses over plastic bottles is a small step of great importance – in the direction of helping the environment.

A properly maintained infuser thermos will retain its clarity after hundreds of washings, keeping the fresh taste of the tea inside and entailing 0 amount of worries about BPAs and other toxic chemicals associated with the use of plastic. What’s more – stainless steel thermoses remain impeccable even after prolonged use, as opposed to plastic bottles which become discolored and degrade after you’ve used them just a couple of times.

To keep your thermos at its best, wash it every day. Simply put some warm water and dish soap in the thermos, shake it and leave it for 5 minutes. Use a cloth or brush on the inside to remove any slimy build-up that may have formed. Rinse well and your thermos is ready to be used again.
