Containers can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the container on a surface. The containers can include a removably engaged handle.

A temperature-regulating apparatus which can rapidly chill a beverage by exposing it to a large surface area of the device interior which has a cooling gel embedded within its walls. The user pours their liquid into the device and monitors the projected temperature dropping until they reach an optimal temperature. Once optimal temperature is reached, the users will pour the liquid out of the device to end the cooling processes. Thus a superior liquid cooling solution is provided that can rapidly chill a beverage to an optimal temperature.

In a vacuum insulating container (1), an outer cylinder (2) has a first annular wall (2e) that extends radially inward so as to be inclined with respect to an aperture plane (2d) of the outer cylinder (2) at an open end of the outer cylinder (2) and has a tip end part (2c) spaced apart from an outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder (3); an inner cylinder (3) has a second annular wall (3e) that extends radially outward so as to be inclined with respect to the aperture plane (3d) of the inner cylinder 3 at an open end of the inner cylinder (3) and faces the first annular wall (2e); and an annular sealing member (5) formed of an elastic body having a low thermal conductivity is compressed between the first annular wall (2e) and the second annular wall (3e).

A collapsible insulated bag designed to allow items retained within an inner pouch thereof to remain within predetermined temperature ranges for predetermined periods of time and wherein the bags are designed to be easily compressed or compacted for storage or shipment to end users. The bags include at least an outer reflective layer, an intermediate open foam layer and the inner pouch layer.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having a spout channel extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with a cap having a magnetic top surface, and the spout adapter may be further removably coupled to a lid that may be used as a cup into which a volume of the liquid can be poured.

A smart infusion water bottle is disclosed. The infusion water bottle comprising a body comprising an open end at a top portion for allowing a liquid to flow in and out therethrough and an infusion chamber configured to be removably secured to the top portion of the body, and receive a flavoring material, wherein the infusion chamber comprises a plurality of openings at a bottom portion of the infusion chamber, to allow the liquid to flow in and out of the infusion chamber. The infusion water bottle further comprises a lid removably secured to a top portion of the infusion chamber, wherein the lid comprises a temperature sensor coupled to the infusion chamber and downwardly extending therefrom to the body, a display positioned on a surface of the lid and a controller operatively connected to the temperature sensor and the display, wherein the controller is configured to receive signals from the temperature sensor indicative of the temperature inside the infusion chamber and the body, and output temperature information on the display.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a closure, the closure having an upper portion with a handle that has a circular curvature equal to the cylindrical portion of the closure. The closure may also have a lower portion that is joined to the upper portion by an injection molded polymer element.

A beverage dispensing machine (e.g., coffee maker) has a cooling unit. The cooling unit includes a thermal mass. The cooling unit is operable to reduce a temperature of at least a portion of the thermal mass. The cooling unit also includes a passageway within which a beverage flows, the passageway being in thermal communication with the thermal mass that cools the beverage as it flows within the passageway to chill the beverage before it is dispensed.

Examples of the present disclosure include a container having a receptacle configured to receive a beverage and a wall within which the receptacle is disposed. The wall includes a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, a base edge, and an outer surface extending along a length of the wall from the first end to the base edge. The base edge includes a base point. The outer surface includes a first point located a distance away from the edge point that is not less than 50% of a distance between the first end and the second end. The outer surface also includes a second point located a distance away from the edge point that is not greater than 10% of the distance between the first end and the second end. Each of the edge point, first point, and second point are collinear.
