Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug, 16oz, Smoky Blue

It never leaks, it’s effortless to use one-handed, it keeps drinks HOT! A perfect mug!
I will confess first, before I begin, that I have a pretty strong bias toward Japanese products. This is going back to the days when Sony had no equal in electronics, and when Toyota/Honda were leading the small car revolution. With that said, please forgive me if I sound too impressed with this home run of a mug purchase.I had heard that zojirushi made good products, but I’ve had some bad travel mugs and figured it could have been just another cash-in on brand power. I ordered the stainless steel 12oz because I needed a small one for easy travel (most of my travel is on foot or on bike, living in a big city and all), and when it came, I did thorough investigation of its capabilities.Immediately, I went to the kitchen sink. I filled the mug with water, sealed on the cap, locked the lid, and proceeded to turn it sideways, hold it upside-down, swing it around, shake it vigorously (while still upside-down too!), I pretty much did everything I could, short of anything that might damage the mug. Not a single drop came close to wetting my hand or anywhere else. I even wiped the counter with a rag afterward, just to see if I missed something. It was bone-dry.Next came Coffee. I love coffee, drinking several cups a day and switching to decaf so I can drink more in the afternoon and after dinner. I filled this mug up with fresh coffee, and even half an hour later I almost had to nurse drinking it to avoid burning myself; The coffee was practically just as hot as when I had poured it. I proceeded to comfortably drink hot coffee for several hours without any need to reheat or refill my mug (except of course, for more coffee). Amusingly, it even kept coffee hot longer than the insulated coffee pot did! (funny that one, maybe I should get a zojirushi coffee maker too)Lastly, the ease of operations challenge. They claim that it’s easy to open this mug, drink, and then close it, all with one hand. I will admit, at first it took me a little bit of getting used to the operation, but within a few days at most I was using it fluidly with one hand, which was perfect for my commute, or when shopping at busy downtown markets. I could walk through thick crowds (this is pre-covid of course) and not have any problems with opening it, drinking more coffee, and closing it. Of course, it was still hot even when walking in the nippy winter air.This really is my idea of a perfect travel mug. You can’t make it leak (even when you throw it sideways into a purse for a few hours), you really can use it one-handed, and it really does keep the drinks hot. I’ve done tea in this as well and it was just as good an experience; Never tried hot cocoa as zojirushi advises against milk products being used (If I recall correctly, it was something to do with the pressurized, sealed containers being able to build pressure due to milk doing what milk does). Regardless, what I’ve asked of it, the mug has proceeded to do with flying colors. I cannot recommend this mug strongly enough. If you ever find yourself wanting to have a small, reliable, and easy-to-use travel mug, then you cannot go wrong with zojirushi.

I recently purchased a Zojirushi insulated bottle, and I couldn’t be more pleased with its performance. The design is sleek and modern, making it easy to carry around, whether I’m commuting or hiking.One of the standout features is its impressive insulation capability. It keeps my beverages hot for hours, and I’ve even found that it keeps iced drinks cold for an entire day, which is perfect for summer outings. The wide mouth opening makes it easy to fill, pour, and clean.The materials feel durable, and the lid seals tightly, preventing any leaks. I appreciate the variety of colors available, allowing for a bit of personal style.Overall, the Zojirushi bottle is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish hydration solution. Highly recommended!

Es fantástico, no escurre y me tiene las bebidas en su temperatura óptima.

I have been using travel mugs for my work for years now and was ok with my Contigo mug but it just didn’t hold the heat very well and you could feel it radiating out the heat which ment it cooled after an hour which for most would be acceptable. I on the other hand sip my coffee and because my hands on job I leave it in the car and this can be for a long periods of time, it’s frustrating when you come back to a luke warm coffee. I saw this brand Zojirushi on a review page and it seemed to score hi on keeping things hotter for longer and so looked on here to see if they had any and though it’s seems expensive £30 and the fact Zojirushi own review/sales jibber was not as shouting out about how amazing it is, as the independent review I went ahead and purchased it. It took a few days as it was not a prime product but when it did I was very pleased with the build quality.I don’t know what the coatings on the outside but it feels like a premium product, and it performed amazing, the lid is very well made and is leak proof, it also has a lock just in case you press the open button by mistake not that is likely to happen. It felt comfortable to hold and it feels cool to the touch with no radiating heat. And finally the main point of keeping my coffee hot for hours this product just blew my mind, I have done alot of hours recently and on one occasion I left the fladk/mug at my office full of hot coffee and then forgot to grab it when I went home leaving it overnight for a full 24 hours. I had no expectations that the contents would be warm let alone hot so you can imagine how stunned I was that when I emptie the coffee was still hot. I can’t recommend this enough but also aware it’s seems alot for a travel mug.
