Unior Bike Tools Insulated Vacuum Bottle

A long brake bleed is a forty-five minute commitment. A wheelbuild over a podcast can be two hours. A summer Saturday running through suspension service is a four-hour kind of day. The coffee you poured at 8am is room temperature by 10am if it's not in something insulated. The vacuum bottle is the version of the workshop coffee that's still 8am temperature when 11am rolls around.

This is the 500 mL double-wall vacuum-insulated version. Double-wall construction means the bottle has two walls with a vacuum gap between them; the vacuum gap is what blocks heat conduction in both directions. Hot drinks stay hot. Cold drinks stay cold. The 500 mL capacity is sized for a half-shift of coffee or a workout's worth of water, depending on the day.

The build is BPA-free. The total empty weight is 320 g; light enough to clip to a bag for an off-site service call, dense enough to feel like the workshop tool it actually is.

Built by a tool company

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče, Slovenia, since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. The Made For Work line carries the same workshop sensibility into drinkware: a vacuum-insulated bottle that holds 8am coffee at 8am temperature, sized for a half-shift, light enough for an off-site call.

Pro tip from our mechanics

A vacuum bottle on the bench is a different shop habit than a mug. The mug gets you through the first coffee; the bottle covers the next four hours. If you're a one-or-the-other shop, the call is whichever matches your work pattern; short cup-by-cup sessions favor the Enameled Coffee Mug; long uninterrupted bench sessions favor this one. For the cold-drink after-work version, the Coozie is the play. The full workshop-wear roundup is in: What we wear in the workshop →
