What Thermos Do You Need for Mate?
Look for a stainless steel vacuum thermos that keeps water hot for hours and has a narrow spout, so you can pour a thin stream into the mate.
Insulation
A double-wall stainless steel thermos keeps the water hot for many hours. Water should be hot but not boiling for mate.
Capacity
A one-liter thermos is a common size for a long session. Smaller ones are easier to carry.
The spout
A narrow spout gives you control so you can pour next to the bombilla without splashing the yerba.
Keep it clean
Rinse the inside after use and dry the lid to avoid odors.
