These Lab Flask Mugs Put Your Dweeby Thermos To Shame [Thermos]

Steins of Science , created by a UC Berkeley physicist, are drinking mugs product of heavy-duty lab flasks. Just think how chilly beer stays when it’s wrapped in a vacuum ” 100,000 times more powerful than that of your average thermos.”

The Steins, which are available in numerous sizes, surround your liquids with two layers of silvered glass, apparently putting less scientific thermoses to shame when it comes to keeping your hot liquids hot and your cool liquids cool. Serious science-minded beer drinkers owe it to themselves to research. It’s research!

Here’s the mad scientist’s description of the $340 ” 665ml FMJ Playa Grade Stein of Science” :

I’ve made this stein using a bench top liquid nitrogen dewar flask. That is, for all intents and purposes, the absolute best thermos you’re ever going in finding. It’s quite common to fill these with liquid nitrogen, let it sit on the lab bench, and once you get back three days later there will still be liquid nitrogen in it. Now imagine what it could do for beer. Beer is meant to be consumed at the temperature it comes off the tap and intensely few bars mean you can behind to put yourself under the keg. Here is the following smartest thing.

Your last sip of beer shall be as cold as your first. Alternatively, you may enjoy a margarita on a warm summer day without it getting all melty. It would keep hot things hot just in addition as it keeps cold things cold. That’s an an even bit of hot coffee.

Oh, and if you were wondering if they were microwave safe, they’re not. ” With as much metal as this stein has, it’s going to destroy your microwave.” Oh! K! The steins run from $200 to $500, and you’ll pick one up for the beer-drinking scientist for your life over at Thrillist. [ Steins of Science via Thrillist ]
