which is better - plastic thermos or steel? My experience is plastic keeps water warmer.

I bought the more expensive stainless steel thermos that tradies use but have found my cheap ol' plastic Big W [Walmart] jobs are better at keeping water hotter. I'm looking to buy a small plastic thermos.

Plastics leak xenoestrogens into liquids. And before you say anything about BPA free, they replace BPA with another bisphenol, like S. While we can't completely avoid plastics, we can limit exposure. Stick with stainless steel.

Really though, at this point avoiding plastic is like avoiding glyphosate. It's in everything and we're fucked.
