A liquid container (10), with attachments, is taught which consists of a vacuum insulated container body (20) with open top and integral threads. A top closure (42) attaches to the container body with mating threads permitting disassembly. A number of removable attachments (64) are fastened to the top closure. A lid (98) is attached to the top closure forming a liquid tight seal for the container. When an infuser attachment is used, brewing media is placed in the infuser and hot water in the container, the media steeps forming a brew, after the lid and media is removed, the beverage is sipped from the closure lip. If a strainer attachment is selected, brewing media and hot water are added into the container, the media steeps forming a brew and, after the lid removed, the beverage is sipped from the closure lip. When an isolator attachment is chosen it replaces the seal ring on the closure thereby covering all exposed thermoplastic surfaces permitting drinking directly from the container body.
