Esbit Food Jug Classic Food Flask 500 ml - Black
Food thermos with a capacity of 500 ml in black, designed for carrying food. The wide opening allows you to eat directly from the thermos. The model maintains both high and low temperatures of stored food very well, making it suitable for use in winter and summer.
durable construction, silver layer, safety valve
The model is made of damage-resistant stainless steel, coated with a matte non-slip finish. The inner walls are covered with a thin layer of silver - it has an antibacterial effect and helps maintain hygienic cleanliness.
The cap design features a safety valve button, which, when pressed before unscrewing, releases excess pressure and eliminates the risk of the lid or hot steam "shooting out". The pressure release button can be disassembled for cleaning.
temperature retention range
Tests of the thermos carried out using water at a temperature of 98 degrees Celsius showed the following level of heat retention:
- 6 hrs - 65 degrees Celsius.
- 12 hrs - 50 degrees Celsius.
- 24 hrs - 30 degrees Celsius.

Review summary
The thermos receives very positive feedback for keeping food warm effectively, staying leakproof, offering solid build quality, and having a wide opening that makes eating directly from it and cleaning it easy. Users appreciate its compact size and capacity for a single meal, which makes it a practical choice for work, school, travel, and outdoor use. The main drawbacks mentioned are that the temperature drops more noticeably after about 6–8 hours, the thermos works best when preheated, the outer coating can wear off over time, and a few users report issues with the lid’s durability or design.

I have been using this thermos for some time now. The thermos itself is fine, keeps the temperature well, is tight and doesn't leak liquids outside, etc. But Esbit has a problem with making airtight inner lids/caps, because the caps are not sealed inside and during washing, water gets inside the cap and stays there. Because the water stays there, it mixes with the styrofoam inside, leaving all kinds of smells and contaminants, making the thermos have an unpleasant odor and possibly contaminating the food inside.

Easy to clean, keeps warm well, compact, enough for a decent serving of soup, although you can carry a main course in it as well. If needed, it can also serve as a regular thermos for drinks.
-
Good quality thermos. Great workmanship, feels good to hold. Nothing leaks. Keeps warm for a long time. You can comfortably eat straight from the thermos because the opening is wide enough.
-
Really useful, perfect for soup or drinks. Keeps the temperature and is leakproof. After 6 hours, the soup tasted as if I'd just poured it. However, after opening, the contents cool down quickly.
-
Good quality food thermos, it is sturdily made. Used in various weather conditions and keeps warmth very well. I am very satisfied with the purchase. Nothing leaks from the thermos. I also recommend other products from this manufacturer.

I bought the Esbit Food Jug 0.5L in olive color and I am very satisfied. It's well made, sturdy, and keeps the temperature for hours. Perfect for carrying hot meals on trips or at work. Its 0.5L capacity is enough for a single meal, and the tight lid prevents leaks. The thermos is compact, easy to clean, and very convenient. I recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable thermos for food storage.

I've had the thermos for over a year. Since April, it’s been used 5 days a week. It holds heat very well. Liquid meals stay hot longer than, for example, potatoes with pork chop. After about 3 months, the metal cover of the lid fell off (hot glue should help); a few days later, the cover of the button/valve at the top of the lid fell off. Both faults do not affect the main properties of the thermos.

I love Esbit thermoses. (This is my second one. I bought the previous one for drinks). If - according to the instructions - you pre-heat the thermos by pouring boiling water in first, after several hours the meal is still warm, not hot, but just right for eating. I recommend it.

Very good quality thermos. Keeps heat for a long time. The wide opening allows you to easily use cutlery. Bought for myself and my parents. I highly recommend it, there is no competition.
-
Great little thermos, handy and convenient to transport, soups and main dishes always stay warm for up to 8 hours. Thanks to the large opening, you can eat straight from the thermos.

Excellent. I bought it for myself and it turns out that my daughter takes lunch to school every day. Just perfect for packing a hot meal for a small child, and I'm talking about meals like potatoes + a portion of meat, dumplings, etc. It keeps the temperature for a long time. Also tested as an ice container for a "guys'" camping trip :) A solid and practical product.

Thermoses from this series are extremely aesthetic, handy, do not leak—I have also stored soups in them, and on top of that, they keep high temperatures for a very long time. A meal prepared in the morning is still hot after 5-6 hours. I highly recommend them!
-
Great food thermos, holds an entire meal and keeps it at the temperature you want to eat it. I definitely recommend it if you don’t like cooking outdoors.

The thermos is good for everyday use. I have several for my children. Keeps heat for a long time, easy to clean. Used daily for school, it works great. I recommend it to everyone!
