A beverage container (10, 92, 174) for hot liquids which has a vessel (12, 94, 176) with a completely enclosed, thermally insulated, internal chamber (14, 96, 182) within which is to be placed a quantity of consumable hot liquid (86, 114, 184). A cap (26, 106, 212) is removably mounted on the vessel which is to completely close the internal chamber. A dispensing passage (84, 136, 228) extends from the internal chamber to the cap with a valve (78, 126, 230) mounted within the cap. Air pressure is to be supplied into the internal chamber which causes a small portion of the hot liquid to be conducted through the passage, past the valve, and into a reservoir (34, 118, 208) mounted in conjunction with the cap. The reservoir is open to the ambient. The pumping of the air into the internal chamber can be accomplished by a bellows assembly (54, 200) or a hand operated piston (146) and cylinder (144) arrangement.
