At least one inlet opening (30, 94, 96) is formed in the interior cover directing a hot beverage to flow into the substantially enclosed space. Attached to the interior cover at the forward edge of the inlet opening is a partition (38) or wall assembly (90, 92) having a height extending to be located substantially against the exterior cover and a length at least equal to the length of the inlet opening.
