Product Information

Full details

The Oypla 2L Stainless Steel Airpot is designed for households, offices, and catering environments that require long-term beverage temperature maintenance. It excels at keeping drinks piping hot or ice-cold for extended periods, providing a generous 2L capacity that minimizes the need for frequent refills. While it offers excellent thermal retention, users should note that the pump mechanism requires a firm press to ensure consistent flow for thicker liquids.

FAQs

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

No, this airpot should be hand washed only to protect the vacuum insulation and stainless steel exterior.

Is the exterior surface safe to touch when filled with hot liquid?

Yes, thanks to the double-walled vacuum insulation, the exterior remains at a safe temperature.

Can I use this for gravy?

Yes, it is suitable for gravy, though you should ensure the gravy is not too thick, which could clog the pump mechanism.

Does the pump need to be primed?

Yes, if the airpot has been sitting empty, the first few pumps may be required to move the liquid up the internal straw.

How long will it keep liquids hot?

While performance varies based on ambient temperature and how often the lid is opened, it is designed to maintain hot temperatures for several hours.

Is the interior plastic or steel?

The interior is constructed from durable stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Liquid is not pumping out properly

Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly. If the pump is airlocked, check that the internal straw is properly attached to the lid assembly.

Drinks are not staying hot for as long as expected

Pre-heat the vessel by filling it with boiling water for a few minutes before pouring in your beverage. Also, ensure the lid is tightened immediately after filling.

The pump button feels stuck

Clean the pump nozzle and button area with warm water to remove any dried residue or sugary buildup from previous use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior thermal retention due to double-walled vacuum design
  • Large 2-liter capacity reduces the need for constant refilling
  • Durable, shatter-proof stainless steel construction
  • Ergonomic handle ensures safe and steady pouring
  • Easy-to-use pump mechanism simplifies serving

Cons

  • Pump mechanism may struggle with very viscous liquids like thick gravies
  • Hand washing is required to maintain the finish and vacuum seal
  • Larger footprint compared to standard desktop thermoses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your airpot, follow these guidelines:

  1. Setup: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly to engage the vacuum seal. The pump mechanism will only function correctly when the lid is secured.
  2. Cleaning: Wash the interior thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush. Do not submerge the entire unit in water, as this can affect the vacuum seal or cause water to trap under external components.
  3. Care: Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel finish. Always store the unit with the lid slightly ajar if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent odors.
  4. Compatibility: While safe for most liquids, avoid using the airpot for carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup can damage the pump or cause leaks.
