The present invention relates to a portable insulated food container. More particularly the present invention relates to a portable insulated food container with a greater heat-retaining capacity. The portable insulated food container comprises of a vacuum insulated removable outer cover, a vacuum insulated base, a vacuum insulated base carrier, one or more non-insulated container(s), one or more detachable lid(s), a supporting base, and one or more interlocking units. Advantageously the present invention relates to a portable insulated food container with different shapes like oval, rectangle, square, hexagon, etc and sizes.

A heat exchanging liquid container system comprising a main body; a phase change material (PCM) module disposable within the main body; a PCM disposed within the PCM module; a liquid reservoir defined by the main body and/or the PCM module configured to have liquid disposed therein having a first temperature; and a temperature conditioning channel formed along a wall of the PCM module and/or through the PCM module such that the temperature conditioning channel is in thermal contact with the PCM. The temperature conditioning channel configured to provide a flow path through which the liquid can flow to dispense the liquid from the liquid reservoir such that the liquid will be in thermal contact with the PCM while being dispensed. The PCM configured to exchange thermal energy with the liquid and thereby condition the liquid to be dispensed at a second temperature that is within a desired temperature range.

The coffee mug or drink container has an internal multi-cup compartment. A thermally insulated container (liquid containment store) has a lid with drink spout(s) (if the drink container is not a bottle). The special container has an internal dry store for two or more cups placed in a storage compartment beneath the bottom of the container. Identically shaped cups nest together (stacked) in the dry store on a nested cup support with a complementary surface to limit vertical and horizontal jostling and cup damage. Sometimes the cups are frusto-conically shaped or are matching convex/concaved shaped. An added secondary storage container is included for coffee or drink additives.

A self-heating container includes a first substance and a second substance that are adapted to produce an exothermic reaction upon contact with each other, a soluble material between the first substance and the second substance, a frangible membrane physically separating the second substance from the soluble material, and a means for rupturing the frangible membrane.

A delivery system and method for a brewed beverage, such as coffee or tea, that stores a batch of brewed beverage in a cooled container, and heats a serving quantity on demand at the point of dispensing. A heater such as a tankless water heater may be connected to a dispensing line to generate hot servings on demand. Cold servings may also be provided. Quality control of the brewing process may be improved by brewing in a centralized, controlled environment and then shipping cooled containers to dispensing points such as coffee shops or cafs. Containers may be filled with a gas such as nitrogen to prevent oxidation, thereby preserving freshness during storage or shipping. At the dispensing site, containers may be refrigerated and attached to gas tanks to maintain the freshness as servings are dispensed.

Disclosed is a vacuum compartment structure for a cup lid and a manufacturing method thereof. The vacuum compartment structure for a cup lid includes a stainless steel cylinder body and a compartment upper cover. The compartment upper cover is covered on the cylinder body and has an inwardly recessed shape, and the compartment upper cover and the cylinder body are fixedly connected and sealed by laser welding. The compartment upper cover and the cylinder body form a vacuum chamber, which has a getter therein. The compartment upper cover is arranged with a plastic upper cover layer, an outer surface of the cylinder body is wrapped with a plastic lower cover layer, and the plastic upper cover layer is combined with the plastic lower cover layer to fasten and wrap the compartment upper cover and the cylinder body.

A beverage container may include a base having an axis, a closed bottom, an open top and an interior cavity therebetween. The base may be formed from a material that is opaque. In addition, a vessel is configured to contain a fluid. The vessel has an opening into or from which the fluid may flow relative to an interior of the vessel. The vessel is mounted in the interior cavity of the base and extends above and beyond the open top thereof. A radial air space is located between the vessel and the base relative to the axis. The vessel may be formed from a material that is at least one of translucent or transparent. In addition, a seal may be located between the base and the vessel. Each of the base, vessel and seal may be a different material.
