A Classic Bulb offered from €100 purchase 🎁 !
There are two absolutely essential accessories for drinking mate: the gourd (the container) and the bombilla (the filtering straw). But a third accessory is part of the mate drinker's kit: the mate thermos.
It allows you to prepare mate anywhere and throughout the day. And above all, it allows you to prepare your mate in less than a minute.
This article presents the pros and cons of different mate thermoses and then indicates where to get an excellent one at the best price.
The usefulness of the thermos for preparing mate is obvious: having hot water available at any time.
But the mate thermos is different from the classic thermos in that it not only keeps the water hot but also facilitates the preparation of mate.
The classic thermos does not have an opening that allows for proper control of the water flow, while the mate thermos is equipped with a system that allows for precise and controlled pouring of water.

Standard coffee thermos
It is entirely possible to use a standard thermos to prepare your mate.
That's what many people do.
However, unless you are really used to preparing mate, doing it correctly can be difficult with a standard thermos.
The risk is not pouring the water correctly (not in the right place, or too strong) and not infusing the mate properly.

Once prepared, mate can be infused about ten times.
It's ideal for those who want to drink mate several times in the same day.
But having to heat water for each mate... that's really not practical!
So, having a mate thermos on hand is a real plus.
In a few words
With a good thermos, preparing mate is easier AND much faster.
Stanley Thermos
The Stanley Thermos is one of the most well-known, especially for its ability to retain heat very well. However, it is probably more suitable for those who already know how to prepare their mate well, as it does not have a spout.
The Stanley Thermos is not strictly a mate thermos, but a classic thermos well-known among mate enthusiasts.
