Thermos Temperature Tests

Revolutionizing Mate Drinking:  The invention of the Thermos heralded new times for mate drinking. No longer, did the mate need to be drunk around the fireplace, this flexibility to take your mate with you brought mate drinking out of the realm of the home or stables.

At the forefront of Re-Revolutionizing mate drinking in an urban context, we are introducing a durable line of thermoses guaranteed to serve up hot mates in the coldest of winters.

After several requests from customers eager to have an appropriate mate drinking thermos, with a serving spout designed to delicately moisten the mate, we got to work checking with suppliers in Brasil.

Meta Experiments were carried out in our Mate Hack Lab to compare the temperature retaining capacities of some of our thermoses.
