Cosd Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Fancy getting a new flask and also some sort of thermal sandwich bag to keep lunch in during those long hot days in the hide. Theres nothing worse than a hot sandwich on a summers day. So what's the best flask out there? I know about pre heating the flask and all that, but which one really keeps that coffee the hottest for the longest period? Also, is there one that doesn't change the taste of the drink? My stainless flask seems to alter the taste of my coffee!! And what thermal sandwich bag? Nothing too big, enough for a couple of sandwiches and a couple pieces of fruit maybe.

A hot bit of totty would go down well but having to stop every so often to get the pigeons could be a bit of a distraction. Mind you she could load for me!

henry d Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 My stainless flask seems to alter the taste of my coffee!! Don`t put coffee or tea into a flask, just boiled water, that way you get a fresh cuppa not a stewed one, that is what spoils the taste. Don't get a Stanley flask. They are not what they used to be. Too true :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I agree about the stanley flasks the last one I brought was cack , and they dont come cheap . By far the best I have had for keeping stuff warm was a coleman stainless one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Don`t put coffee or tea into a flask, just boiled water, that way you get a fresh cuppa not a stewed one, that is what spoils the taste. Too true :( Agree with Henry.....boiled water and take the makings. Cannot stand tea out of flask of any make. Which leads onto where I used to work many moons ago, the circuit test trainer came in one morning with an 'unbreakable stainless steel flask' The circuit testers proved him wrong first time he went to the loo........

Cosd Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thing Don`t put coffee or tea into a flask, just boiled water, that way you get a fresh cuppa not a stewed one, that is what spoils the taste. Too true :( Thing is I make fresh coffee from bean to cup, so no option but to put the coffee in the flask!

Hoover is a well known Leicester slang for a vacuum. Mrs-G has been known for calling hers a Hoover, and is also one to say 'tall seepends' for it all depends, and pasgetti for spagetti.

Penelope Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 For the sandwich/food bag, what about one of the cool bags aimed at carp anglers for bait. Loads out there but see the example linked below. I have and use one on occasions. http://www.hinders.co.uk/prod/esp-cool-bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 The secret to tea in a flask is to put one tea bag only into the flask and take the milk separately. got to be a fresh brew for me the flask thing just never tastes right. trangia meths stove with kettle , bought about 25years ago. its the most important bit of kit in the bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
