A thermos has another container indise the plastic or metal coating made of glass. This container is really like one bottle inside of another bottle and sealed at the ends by melting the edges together. The air is taken out from the space between the two bottles to produce a vacuum, which isn't a good conductor of heat and does a good job at slowing down the movement of heat. To slow down the other heat they coat the facing surfaces of the glass bottles with a silvery coating. This reflects the heat and helps slow down any losses that might get that way. They use a material like cork or rubber to make the bottle stopper and anything else that might touch the outside surface of the glass container. These materials are bad conductors of heat and slow down the heat loss. What's left is what we can see which can be metal or plastic and is the covering for the glass bottles.
The idea here (with the thermos) is to slow down the movement of heat from one place to the other. So if you have hot stuff in the thermos or cold stuff in the thermos, the end result is the same. Keep heat from moving to where you don't want it to go for as long as possible. It was invented in1892 by Sir James Dewar.
A thermos keeps things hot by using a double-walled design with a vacuum in between the walls. This vacuum acts as insulation and prevents heat from escaping through conduction or convection. Additionally, the inner walls are often coated with a reflective material to minimize radiant heat loss.
