Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Daily Grind, a popular mobile coffee van operating across Leeds, needed a simple way to expand their filter coffee menu without investing in another bulky brewer. They wanted to offer a rotating single-origin bean alongside their house blend.

"We bought a few of these Olympia flasks to hold our single-origin brews. It means we can offer more choice without cluttering the van. They hold the heat brilliantly right through the morning rush and  the pour is nice and  clean."

David Chen – Owner

The change allowed them to add two new premium coffee options to the menu, increasing their overall filter coffee sales by a reported 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the flask and  lid a good wash with warm, soapy water.
  • For best results, 'prime' the flask by filling it with hot water (for hot drinks) or cold water (for cold) for 5 minutes.
  • Empty the priming water before filling with your tea, coffee, or soup.
  • Always make sure the lid is securely fastened to engage the locking seal and  prevent leaks.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the flask after every use to prevent flavour transfer and  bacteria build-up.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads on the exterior, as this can scratch the stainless steel finish.
  • For stubborn stains like coffee or tea tannin, a solution of bicarbonate of soda and  hot water works wonders.
  • Always store the flask with the lid off to allow it to air dry completely inside.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Flask

Not sure which flask fits your needs? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Capacity is Key

Think about who you're serving. This 0.5L model is great for one or two people, but for larger groups or all-day service, consider our 1L versions or bigger airpots.

Material Matters

Stainless steel offers the best durability for a busy commercial environment. It resists dents, drops, and  rust far better than glass-lined or plastic alternatives.

A Trustworthy Lid

A locking, leak-proof lid is non-negotiable for transport. Look for a design that also pours smoothly to avoid waste, mess, and  potential burns.

Ease of Cleaning

A flask with a reasonably wide neck will make cleaning much easier. A simple design without too many fiddly parts will save you and  your staff valuable time.

Heat Retention

Always opt for a vacuum-insulated model. They offer significantly better performance for keeping drinks at the correct temperature compared to basic insulated flasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this flask dishwasher safe?

A: To protect the vacuum seal and  ensure a long life, we strongly recommend hand washing only.

Q: How long will it keep drinks hot?

A: Performance varies, but a quality vacuum flask like this can typically keep liquids piping hot for 4-6 hours and  warm for up to 12.

Q: Can I use it for fizzy drinks?

A: It's not a good idea. The pressure build-up from carbonation can damage the seals and  make it difficult to open safely.

Q: Is the inside made of stainless steel too?

A: Yes, the interior is also food-grade stainless steel, which is hygienic and  won't retain odours or flavours between uses.

Q: Can this be used for cold drinks or soup?

A: Absolutely. It's just as effective at keeping drinks chilled or liquids like soup and  broth hot.

Q: What is the main benefit of the locking lid?

A: The locking function provides an extra layer of security against accidental spills, which is crucial when carrying it in a bag or vehicle.

Q: Is the lid that doubles as a cup also insulated?

A: The lid is designed as a simple, non-insulated cup for convenience and  to save space.

Q: How heavy is the Olympia CN695 flask when empty?

A: The flask weighs just 0.37kg, making it very lightweight and  easy to carry before it's filled.

How Double-Wall Vacuum Insulation Works for You

Ever wondered how a flask *actually* keeps your drink hot? It's a clever bit of physics. This insulated drinks flask 0.5 litre has two walls of stainless steel, like a bottle inside another bottle. In between those walls, all the air has been sucked out to create a vacuum. Heat struggles to travel through empty space, so it gets trapped inside with your drink, keeping your coffee hot for hours. The same principle works in reverse, stopping the day's heat from warming up your iced tea. It’s a simple, reliable system that guarantees the perfect temperature, every time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés and  Coffee Shops: Perfect for pre-brewing guest filter coffee or keeping milk hot for porridge service.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: An essential for serving hot drinks at events, farmers' markets, and  festivals.
  • Conference & Event Venues: Ideal for providing hot water or coffee at self-service stations during meetings.
  • Construction & Outdoor Teams: A brilliant tool for keeping site crews supplied with hot drinks all day long.
