Answer:
A thermos flask has double walls, which are evacuated.
It is silvered on the inside.
The vacuum between the two walls prevents heat being transferred from the inside to the outside by conduction and convection.
With very little air between the walls, there is almost no transfer of heat from the inner wall to the outer wall or vice versa.
Conduction can only occur at the points where the two walls meet, at the top of the bottle and through an insulated support at the bottom.
The silvered walls reflect radiated heat back to the liquid in the bottle.
