I have this thermos that i've been using for almost a year now with a french press attachment and I've been mainly using it for tea. Just recently I've noticed a slight orange rusty color on the french press filter and around the inside of the thermos. I don't know if it sould be the tea stains or rust. If it is rust, is it still safe to drink from the thermos or should i just throw it out? Please list any sources.

Rust comes from iron--your iron intake will be satisfied, but the taste will not be great. Stop using it.

No, get rid of the thermos now. Rust is bad. If it is coffee, I would just buy it as you need it, rather than lug a thermos around, plus you have to wash it out every day.
