Product Information
Full details
The Alessi 'nomu' Flask in Silver is designed for individuals seeking a stylish and functional way to keep beverages at their desired temperature. Its key benefit is the robust thermo technology that maintains both hot and cold liquid temperatures for extended periods. A potential caveat is the need for manual cleaning, as only certain parts are dishwasher safe. This flask features a double-walled stainless steel construction, a push-top spout for easy dispensing, and an airtight lid to prevent leaks.

FAQs
Is the entire Alessi 'nomu' Flask dishwasher safe?
No, only the thermoplastic resin lid is dishwasher safe. The 18/10 stainless steel flask body must be handwashed.
How long does the flask keep drinks hot or cold?
The double-walled insulation is designed to maintain temperatures for several hours. Actual duration can vary depending on the initial temperature of the liquid and external conditions.
Can I use the flask for carbonated beverages?
It is not recommended to use the flask for carbonated drinks, as this can lead to pressure build-up and potential leakage or difficulty in opening.
What is the capacity of the flask?
The product description does not specify the capacity. Please refer to the product's retail packaging or manufacturer's website for precise volume information.
How do I clean the mirror-polished stainless steel finish?
Use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain the shine and prevent water spots.
What material is the lid made of?
The lid is made of thermoplastic resin.
Who designed the Alessi 'nomu' Flask?
The flask was designed by Naoto Fukasawa for Alessi.
Troubleshooting
Flask is not keeping liquids at the desired temperature.
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and that the flask was pre-conditioned (filled with hot water for hot drinks, cold water for cold drinks) for a few minutes before use. Check for any damage to the double-walled insulation.
The push-top spout is difficult to press or is not dispensing.
Ensure the lid is properly sealed. Clean the spout mechanism with warm, soapy water and ensure no residue is blocking it. Check if the lid is correctly aligned.
Leaking from the lid.
Verify that the lid is completely and tightly screwed onto the flask body. Ensure the seal inside the lid is clean and properly seated. Check the lid for any cracks or damage.
Discoloration or staining on the inside of the flask.
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
