I am looking to buy a good thermos for tea/ coffee. I see thermos in both glass interior or stainless steel interior. Can someone tell me which is better an why? Does the Stainless Steel rust after long use?
Thanks.

I've had the glass ones shatter inside before. Not a really safe thing, huh? I prefer stainless. No, they don't rust. They retain heat or cold beautifully.

Personally I use stainless steel for my own dogs because ti is easy to keep clean, and doesn't weigh too much when I am carrying 3 large bowls full of food. Plus when I drop them they don't break. The only reason I don't use plastic is because my dogs like to chew anything plastic :P I use plastic for my foster cats and foster puppies and have never had any sort of infection. Personally I think that is some sort of myth as I have never known anyone's pet to get an infection from a plastic bowl. As long as you keep them clean, plastic or stainless are both fine

I prefer the steel thermos flasks. I have several and they can keep ice cubes overnight as I have used them on trips to the beach.
Recently during a stay in hospital my partner brought me flasks of coffee and these stayed hot during the day.
I am now nursing a broken leg and have to put my coffee in the flask and hop into the lounge with it. It has been a godsend and it bangs against my sticks as I hop and there is no damage to it. The coffee stays very warm throughout the day.
The glass ones can be broken too easily if you dropped it that would be it finished.

Glass holds the heat much better. I pack a hot lunch for my daughters lunchbox, and although there is a bigger risk of breakage, the glass is so much better for holding in the heat. The stainless is more durable, but allows the food to cool much quicker. I am not sure about a liquid, such as coffee, but I would think it would be the same

Once you break a glass thermos, you have to buy another one.
Stainless keeps your drink just as hot, but costs a lot.
I don't like risking having shattered glass in my beverage, so I would go with stainless.

I recently purchased a steel wall type that promised to keep hot liquids hot for up to 6 hours. Coffee cooled rapidly after less than 1 hour. Hard to find the glass type, but I'll keep looking.

I will never have another glass one... drop it twice and interior broke... We now have the steel ones and love them. They can fall of scaffolding and survive to see another day.
We have had them for years with no rust. As long as you don't let them set in chlorine they will be fine. We had the handle fall off one but that was it.
