Container and method of forming a container
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.
1. An insulating container comprising:
a canister comprising:
a first wall having a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid;
a second wall forming an outer shell of the canister, the second wall having a second end configured to support the canister on a surface;
a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double wall structure between the first wall and the second wall;
a spout adapter, comprising:
a bottom threaded surface configured to removably couple to the opening of the canister;
a spout opening;
a spout channel extending between the spout opening and a bottom surface of the spout adapter, such that the spout channel fluidly connects the internal reservoir and the spout opening, the spout channel having a uniform diameter between the spout opening and the bottom surface of the spout adapter that is narrower than the opening of the canister;
a threaded outer spout surface which is narrower than the bottom threaded surface;
a grip ring spaced between the bottom threaded surface and the spout opening, extending around a circumference of the spout adapter, and having at least one handle extending therefrom; and
a cap, configured to removably couple to the threaded outer spout surface and seal the spout opening, wherein the cap has a magnetic top surface and is configured to magnetically couple to a docking surface of the handle when removed from the spout opening.

3. The insulating container of claim 2 , wherein the sealed internal cavity is partially or wholly filled with an insulating material.
4. The insulating container of claim 3 , wherein the insulating material is a foam.
5. The insulating container of claim 2 , wherein the sealed internal cavity contains a vacuum cavity.
6. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the at least one handle further comprises a cavity into which a magnetic material is positioned.
7. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the spout adapter further comprises a top threaded surface, and the insulating container further comprises a lid configured to removably couple to the top threaded surface of the spout adapter.
8. An insulating container comprising:
a canister comprising:
a first wall having a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid;
a second wall forming an outer shell of the canister, the second wall having a second end configured to support the canister on a surface;
a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double wall structure between the first wall and the second wall;
a spout adapter, comprising:
a bottom threaded surface configured to removably couple to the opening of the canister;
a spout opening;
a spout channel extending between the spout opening and a bottom surface of the spout adapter, such that the spout channel fluidly connects the internal reservoir and the spout opening, the spout channel having a uniform diameter between the spout opening and the bottom surface of the spout adapter that is narrower than the opening of the canister;
a threaded outer spout surface which is narrower than the bottom threaded surface;
a grip ring spaced between the bottom threaded surface and the spout opening, extending around a circumference of the spout adapter, and having at least one handle extending therefrom;
an upper gasket spaced above the bottom threaded surface and a lower gasket spaced below the bottom threaded surface, the upper gasket and lower gasket together configured to seal the opening of the canister when the bottom threaded surface is removably coupled thereto; and
a cap, configured to removably couple to the threaded outer spout surface and seal the spout opening, wherein the cap has a magnetic top surface and is configured to magnetically couple to a docking surface of the handle when removed from the spout opening.
9. The insulating container of claim 8 , wherein the spout adapter further comprises a sealed internal cavity extending around the spout channel.
10. The insulating container of claim 9 , wherein the sealed internal cavity is partially or wholly filled with an insulating material.
11. The insulating container of claim 10 , wherein the insulating material is a foam.
12. The insulating container of claim 9 , wherein the sealed internal cavity contains a vacuum cavity.
13. The insulating container of claim 8 , wherein the grip ring is integrally molded with the spout adapter, and the at least one handle further comprises a cavity into which a magnetic material is positioned.
14. The insulating container of claim 8 , wherein the spout adapter further comprises a top threaded surface, and the insulating container further comprises a lid configured to removably couple to the top threaded surface of the spout adapter.
15. An insulating container comprising:
a canister comprising:
a first wall having a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid;
a second wall forming an outer shell of the canister, the second wall having a second end configured to support the canister on a surface;
