stanley flask December 21, 2008 K. O. Oparah (England) The flask is very distinctive, solid and well made; everything you would expect from such a company. Having said this it would have been nice to see some element of yellow in the base to ensure the "black & yellow" colour continuity throughout something that makes a stanley product instantly recognisable. The body and the handle of the flask are made from two different types of metal, personally i would have prefered the flask to be made entirely from the metal the handle is made of, because both the body and the cup pick up grease and fingerprints very easily. Looking at the cup itself it would have been better firstly if the grip matched the handle grip and secondly been nearer the top. Thirdly the grooves are not deep enough, and seem to have been put in place for purely cosmetic purposes because in the absence of a handle it is more likely that the cup would be grasped closer to the top for better balance. Looking at the stopper, the only times the flask should be opened are when the liquid is being poured in or when the flask is being cleaned out, therefore to get around this the inclusion of a foldable spout in the stopper would be ideal, it would help lock in the heat for that bit longer and give greater control over the contents when they are poured.
