Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug, 16-Ounce, Champagne Gold

I love these zojirushi insulated bottles, but wasn't sure if these ones on Amazon were the real thing or not. I've always ordered directly from the website in the past and they do have free shipping, which is nice. But the price on this was so much better that I decided to try it. It came in the exact same packaging as the ones directly from the maker, and seems to be of the same high quality. It is a nice size, keeps my drink cold or hot and I've dropped it so many times, but no hard besides a few scratches. One thing is if you're going to use it for coffee, that's all you can use it for. I use it for water mostly, but my husband put coffee in mine and I could get the smell out of the one small rubber ring. Everything else cleaned up odor free. You can order the parts if you want or just have more than one like I do. It is easy to use with one hand, easy to drink from and easy to clean.

This is the only leak proof thermos I have ever found. And these can fit in your car and be used as a coffee cup as well. They come in different sizes and colors for his and hers. I had one for quite a few years, and my husband ran off with it because his thermos broke. So, I bought myself another one in a different color. Neither has any leaks!!! And it keeps the coffee hot for a long time. I will never waste my money on another brand again.

This mug is the best!The size,12 oz is perfect for my daily needs.Heat retention is great leak proof and the lock works well.I am changing mugs from a Stanley travel mug 16 oz with a trigger.It worked well too but I like this because of the smaller size.I use this to make an Americano,2 nespresso pods plus 2 oz of hot water,no aftertaste.

I've been using this for over a month and am very pleased with it. It's easy to wash, though if you use a thicker lip product, the residue may get onto the inside of the lid in a hard to reach spot.My old zojirushi thermos was always leaking coffee on me, but it was several decades old (and the temperature preservation was good still), so I purchased this for the leak proof factor and it's been amazing. I carry multiple water bottles so I needed this smaller thermos to be able to sit in a bag and be thrown around without spilling coffee everywhere.It keeps your drinks comfortably hot for a really long time. When I pour my coffee in there I keep the lid off for about half an hour so it cools to a temperature that won't burn my mouth.Tip: the lid + plastic drinking part is easiest to put back on the bottle when the flip top cap is open, because it will naturally let the plastic drinking part align without jamming the lid's fit on the bottle. It took me a few days to notice that and now I have no issues with refilling the thermos while I'm at work.Highly recommend the product.

There is a reason why this is a top-rated travel mug. Holds a good amount of coffee and keeps it hot for a very long time -- I have not yet gotten to the point of cold coffee, it's always gone before it cools off even if I'm coming back to it much later in the morning. Easy to use one handed, locks securely and I haven't had any leakage. A little fussy to fully disassemble for cleaning, but it's worth it. Fits without issue in every cupholder I've tried.

I read an article about how we should clean our water bottles often to keep slimy bacteria from growing in them. Well it does take a minute to clean these out because there's like 5 individual parts to it to clean, including the bottle itself.Overall, the design is elegant. I bought three of these to drink water only from and I like the 12 oz water capacity.The reason for the 4 stars is because of the effort it takes to clean completely.

I am extremely happy with this product! After doing much research, it was hard to decide between the Stanley, Thermos, and Zojirushi thermos containers. All 3 feature dual-walled vacuum seals, which is critical to maintaining the inner temperature. What kept me away from the Thermos brand was taking apart and cleaning is more trouble than it's was worth. I'm not being picky. You can check the YouTube videos yourself. The issue is the reassembly process for all the parts (there are several). If you do not place things back together just right you're in trouble. I do like the warranty and confidence of longevity using a tried & tested quality name brand such as Thermos.I also liked the Stanley model. It's rugged & durable, and even comes with its traditional cup you can use. The main reason why I didn't pick the Stanley is because the thermos was too large to fit inside my car's drink holder. But like the Thermos brand, I fully trust the name behind the product.So I then decided on the Zojirushi product. They manufacture a few different models of this size, but I chose this one because the stainless steel interior was proven (hint: there are some good YouTube review videos) to maintain the liquid's temperature a hair better than their other versions - including the "coated" version of their newest model. Don't get me wrong... I'm sure the coated version is an EXCELLENT product that should yield exceptional results for hot or cold drinks over a long period of time. The 100% stainless steel interior was only slightly better - keeping coffee a degree or two hotter over a 4-6 hour period. In all cases, it's highly recommended that you prime a thermos with boiling (or very hot) water first before pouring the actual drink inside. Doing this simple step makes a HUGE difference. If you don't, the drink can immediately drop as much as 5 degrees from pouring hot liquid into any container that is room temperature.Let's get into the features I love most:1) QUALITY construction! The thermos is light weight, but has a nice engineered "heft" to it. It's ergonomic in the palm of your hand, and you never feel like you will lose control or the thermos will slip out of your grip.2) The lid is freaking amazing! For one, I like the "double-lock" system. There is a thumb snap that secures the lid in the locked position to prevent opening in the off chance the button is accidentally pressed. When the button is pressed, the lid quietly flips open, but it doesn't just expand to 180 degrees. The spring hinge extends backwards even more to maybe 15-20 additional degrees beyond the 180 point. This means you can drink from the thermos directly without your nose hitting underside of the lid's top. The hinge mechanism also prevents the lid from falling back down to the 180 degree mark; you need to physically move the lid as the subtle "spring" requires enough pressure for it to return back to the 180 degree position. The hinge requires pressure again for it to fold back over into the closed position.3) Everything the hot liquid touches is BPA free! The stainless steel container is 100% safe. The rubber stopper should also be completely safe. There is a plastic spout that is present, but the hot liquid only touches this part while pouring, and is not in constant contact with the hot coffee during storage use - though even that shouldn't be a concern since all parts (including the plastic) are rated BPA free.4) The spout has a flow regulator (both a positive and a negative). The flow regulator makes the thermos great for drinking coffee while driving. You get a nice drinkable flow without worry of a sudden gush landing on your face.5) The cleaning is literally a snap! It's SUPER easy to remove the plastic spout and rinse clean. It pops off easily and only snaps back in one way. There is no way to mistakingly assemble it back together incorrectly like the Thermos. It's a very well engineered system, and takes less than a minute to take apart, clean, and snap back together. The 2 rubber gaskets can also be removed easily and replaced for a more thorough cleaning, but IMO this level of cleaning is only needed periodically. Just snapping off & on the spout piece is more than adequate to rinse any coffee oils away. I do this at least every other day.The areas I didn't like (as much):1) The flow regulation of the spout does make pouring into a cup a slower process. You have to pour slowly and it takes a little longer to fill your cup. You can't modify the flow regulation as it's part of the shape of the air holes with the spout. This wasn't a deal breaker, but is something worth mentioning.2) While the thermos perfectly fits in my hand, it's a bit too lose inside my vehicle's drink holder (your mileage may vary). For my car, a wider bottom would have made a snug fit, but I'm thinking I can figure out an easy solution to overcome this one minor gripe.Bottom line...This Japanese engineered thermos is THE BOMB! For the price, I wouldn't hesitate to buy many as they would make a great Christmas gift.
