Three days in a protected environment with power, and no chance to make coffee?? Don't tell me...that was while in battle.

I've got a couple of old style glass-walled vacuum thermos bottles, and when held side-by-side with the new stainless ones, they hold about half as much for the same size. Funny thing--they keep it much hotter, much longer, though.

I admit, I bought my first stainless one after someone dropped a duffle that had a glass thermos bottle in it (tinkle, tinkle) and I keep them for that same reason. But I've never found the steel ones to be quite as good for long term.

Three days...No wonder the B1 has a $12,000 crash-proof coffee pot on board! You guys need to get the air force model of the Abrams. Put enough thrust on it, and you know ANYthing can fly.(VBG)
