PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To contribute to the saving of energy while activating hot water by circulating the hot water only for a minimum necessary time. SOLUTION: This container is provided with the body 1 thereof having an inner container 3 for hot water storage, a lid body 2 of the container body 1, a heating means 4 for heating the inner container 3, a pouring path 5 to pour hot water in the inner container 3 outside, a pump device 6 to deliver hot water through the pouring path 5, a circulation path 8 which is branched off the pouring path 8 to communicate with the inside of the inner container 3 and a selector valve 9 to selectively switch a passage to the delivery side of the circulation path 8 or the pouring path 5. As a result, at the stoppage of electric energization of the heating means 4, switching operation to the side of the circulation path 8 of the selector valve 9 and circulating operation for the driving of the pump device 6 are executed at a specified each time, thereby enabling the circulation of hot water only for a minimum necessary time.
