Mepal Thermos Yoghurt Cup / Lunch Pot Ellipse Vivid Mauve - 500 ml + 200 ml
Double-walled stainless steel - keeps meals warm for 6 hours and cold for 12 hours
Two separate compartments - keeps muesli and croutons crispy
100% leak-proof design - carry worry-free in any bag or backpack
Yoghurt with granola at 12 o'clock - but the granola is already soft before you even open it. Taking soup to the evening shift, but no microwave on location. Recognizable? The Mepal Thermos Lunch Pot Ellipse in Vivid Mauve solves this perfectly. Two compartments, double-walled insulation, and a smart twist lid: your lunch stays exactly as you packed it - cool or warm, crispy or creamy.
Why the Mepal Ellipse Lunch Pot is your daily game-changer
- 6-8 hours warm, 12 hours cold - Soup stays steaming hot, yoghurt stays refreshingly cool. No microwave, no cooler bag, no hassle.
- Two separate compartments - Granola in the lid compartment, yoghurt in the pot. You mix only when you want to enjoy - not a minute earlier.
- 100% leak-proof design - In your bag, in your backpack, on its side in the bike bag. The Ellipse does not leak. Period.
- Outside stays cool and dry - No matter how hot the soup is inside, you hold it comfortably without getting startled or burning your fingers.
- 100% BPA-free - Safe for you, safe for those you cook for.
- Compact and portable - 169 mm high, 107 mm in diameter. Fits in almost any bag or backpack you already have.
The power of two: separate compartments that work together
The smartest thing about the Mepal Ellipse Lunch Pot lies in those two compartments. The large pot (500 ml) is just big enough for a generous portion of yoghurt, soup, or a salad. The smaller compartment (200 ml - good for about 75 grams of granola, muesli, croutons, or fruit) is in the lid. You click those two lids together or apart with a simple twist - you don’t need a manual, you get it right away.
The result? You decide when to mix. Yoghurt with crispy granola at exactly 12:30 - not soft and mixed at 8:00. Soup with crunchy croutons, not soggy bread crusts. That’s the difference the Ellipse makes. Small in detail, big in effect on your daily lunch moment.
Double-walled insulation: the technology behind the comfort
The Mepal Ellipse Lunch Pot is made of double-walled stainless steel - the same technology you know from good thermoses. The space between the two walls forms an insulating buffer that keeps heat in and cold preserved. That’s also why the outside always feels pleasant: no condensation, no hot exterior when you take soup, no wet spot in your bag when you want to keep yoghurt cold.
Those 6 to 8 hours of heat retention are not just marketing figures - that’s enough for a full workday if you leave in the morning. And 12 hours cold? That’s from a quarter to eight in the morning until a quarter to eight in the evening. Perfect for those who also go to sports or classes in the evening and want something fresh to eat on the way.
Warm up at home, enjoy warm on the go - without a microwave
Here lies the real freedom of the Mepal Ellipse: you are no longer dependent on a microwave on location. Warm your soup at home, pour it into the lunch pot, put the lid on - and hours later you’re at work, at school, or in the locker room with a warm meal that doesn’t taste like it’s been reheated twice. Fresh taste, right temperature, no bells and whistles needed.
The color Vivid Mauve is not a compromise: this is a conscious choice for those who also like to put their lunch pot on the table without it immediately looking like a jerry can. The warm purple-pink shade fits a breakfast table, a desk, a sports bag. Stylish without trying to be cool.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Warm the pot for a few minutes with hot water before adding soup. Empty it, dry it, and then fill it. This way you get the most out of the insulation and your soup stays at temperature even longer - until the last spoonful.
Maintenance: easier than you think
The stainless steel inner pot can be washed by hand - it takes 30 seconds and ensures that the insulation layer remains intact. The plastic parts of the lid (PP and PCTG) can go in the dishwasher. No complicated cleaning ritual, no loose parts that disappear. Just functional, as Mepal intends.
Note: the lid of the Ellipse Lunch Pot also has an insulating function and is specially developed for this pot. You cannot simply exchange it with the lid of a regular Mepal yoghurt cup - and that’s exactly why the insulation works so well.
