thermoses

Vacuum-sealed drink keepers

Thermoses is the plural of thermos, a vacuum-insulated container that keeps beverages hot or cold for extended periods.

The double-walled design minimizes heat transfer: She packed thermoses of coffee and hot chocolate for the ski trip.

Originally a trademark, thermos has become generic.

The plural thermoses is standard, though some use thermos unchanged or the Latinate thermoi.
