◆1: Appearance review of mountain bottle
The mountain bottle is a heat-retaining bottle designed for use in mountain climbing, and has a heat-retaining ability that sets it apart from general stainless steel bottles. You can check the link below for a review that actually compares the heat retention performance of a mountain bottle and a general stainless steel bottle indoors.
We verified the heat retention ability of the ultra-high-performance thermal insulation bottle ``Mountain bottle'' that cools only about 6 degrees Celsius in 7 hours to see if it is useful indoors - GIGAZINE
This time, we will take a 750ml mountain bottle filled with boiling water to the mountain and actually make cup ramen or hot coffee near the mountaintop.
When we measured the temperature immediately after adding boiling water using an infrared thermography camera (
I put the mountain-specific bottle and the stainless steel bottle for comparison in my backpack and set out for the mountain climb.

Climb the mountain trail in December with fallen leaves spreading all over.

◆2: Can you make cup ramen or hot coffee with hot water from a mountain bottle?
We moved to a rest area near the mountaintop to make cup ramen and hot coffee.
The temperature is 5.6℃.
At this point, it has been about 3 and a half hours since I poured boiling water into the bottle. The temperature after 3 and a half hours was 81.1℃ for the mountain bottle (right) and 64.3℃ for the comparison stainless steel bottle. The temperature drop of the mountain bottle is 3.8℃, but the temperature of the comparative stainless steel bottle is 18.2℃.
Now, let's make cup ramen using a mountain-specific bottle. Since the capacity of the stainless steel bottle for comparison is 250ml, we will first make '
After pouring hot water, wait 3 minutes.
When I tried eating the 'Cup Noodle Mini' after 3 minutes, I found that the 'Cup Noodle Mini' made with hot water from a mountain bottle became soft to the core, and tasted the same as when made indoors using boiling water in a pot. You can enjoy it. Also, the soup was so warm that you could get burnt if you were not careful, and it was a very welcome warmth on the cold mountain top of 5.6 degrees Celsius.
'Cup Noodle Mini' made with a stainless steel bottle for comparison has some hard parts remaining, the texture is lumpy and the soup is lukewarm. It's not that you can't eat it, but I found the piping hot 'Cup Noodle Mini' made with hot water from a mountain-specific bottle to be more delicious.
There's plenty of hot water left in the mountain bottle, so next time I'll make a regular-sized
We were able to make the regular size Cup Noodles just as soft to the core as the mini size.
I still have some hot water left, so I'll make some drip coffee as well.
Piping hot coffee is completed. Warm coffee in a cold place tastes a few times more delicious than usual. With the 750ml mountain bottle I used this time, I was able to make three types of hot food and drinks: ``Cup Noodle Mini'', ``Cup Noodles'', and ``Hot Coffee''.
◆3: Convenient points of the mountain bottle
In addition to its high heat retention performance, mountain bottles are also equipped with useful functions for mountain climbing. For example, the top and bottom of the bottle are equipped with removable rubber covers. This makes it easy to take out the mountain bottle from the backpack even when wearing gloves.
In addition, mountain bottles are equipped with two types of stoppers: an internal stopper that opens when refilling a drink, and an external stopper that opens when pouring into a cup, etc., but there is a gap of several mm between the two. This allows for easy operations such as opening only the external stopper, even when wearing gloves. In addition, the unevenness on the side of the stopper also assists in opening and closing operations.
◆4: Summary
When I actually took the bottle for mountain climbing, it remained hot for three hours, and I was able to enjoy piping hot food and drinks near the summit. You can enjoy piping hot food using a gas burner for mountain climbing, but gas burners for mountain climbing have the following warnings: ``There is a waiting time for the water to boil,'' ``It takes a long time to heat up in strong winds,'' and ``Open flames are strictly prohibited.'' There is also the problem that it cannot be used on mountains of mountains. On the other hand, if you use a mountain bottle, you just need to pour boiling water into it before climbing. For dishes that only require boiling water, such as cup ramen or hot coffee, using a mountain-specific bottle is by far the easiest.
