What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives capacity as both 620 ml and 21 Fluid Ounces, which are not equivalent exact conversions. Confirm the intended capacity for the selected listing. The title also says black and 620 ml, while colour and capacity details use German wording and list 21 Fluid Ounces. Insulation performance is a manufacturer claim, not an independently verified measurement.
