Zojirushi SM-SG48VZ Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug, 16-Ounce, Sweets Purple

One day I decided that I could use a new thermos, because I realized how awful my Contigo was that I picked up from Walmart a few years ago. For reference, I could pour in hot coffee and it would be lukewarm to cold about 2-3 hours later. This was also a vacuum insulated mug. I just quit using it because it was such a hassle trying to clean it every day, and I was tired of lugging the thing around. I was ridiculously big and bulky. I don't know about you, but I don't need another huge item to keep track of every day.Enter the Zojirushi. I went with the 12oz size, because I generally don't need a gallon of coffee to get me through the day. It's just slightly bigger than a normal can of soda, for size reference. I'm a grown man and the tiny thing is adorable; it looks like some kind of cute artillery shell or something. It's the perfect size for me, because I can dump in a can of Red Bull or a large cup of coffee and sip it through the day.In terms of performance, I was pretty blown away by how effective it is at maintaining temperature. I generally do pour-over, so my water is about 205F when it hits the grounds. By the time I get it into the thermos, it's around 180-190F, which is way too hot to drink (ideally I prefer my lattes at 135-140F). After sitting on my desk for about 8 hours, the temperature is STILL above 150, which is still piping hot. You can literally burn your mouth drinking coffee out of this thing after it's sat on your desk for an entire work day.Now, this will change if you're drinking out of it frequently, or leaving the lid open. Every second you open the mouth, you'll lose a bit of heat. However, I found that I could take a lot of sips out of it and still have very warm and drinkable coffee by the end of the day, or at least far past the time that you would normally need to be drinking coffee.When it comes to cold drinks, it still performs great. However, I think that if you add ice to whatever you're drinking, you'll be amazed at how long it stays cold. I tossed in a can of Red Bull (no ice) and it was cold for several hours. I left it overnight, and the next day it was still cool but no longer cold. However, ice would probably last in there for a few days, if not a week.The mouth design is genius. It has two holes, and one lets air in as liquid flows out. This results in a bit slower and more controlled amount of liquid coming out of the mouth, so you don't burn the hell out of your mouth when you try to take a sip. However, you can still get plenty out of it if you're drinking something cold, so it's not like it's barely trickling out or something.The lid opens easily with the press of the button, and the lid lock is handy if you're tossing this into a bag and don't want the button accidentally pressed. The lid also comes apart for easy cleaning, which is nice. I've seen other posts of people claiming that there is mold and such in their lid after a year, but honestly I can't understand why you wouldn't just pop the plastic lid part in the dishwasher every now and again and hand wash the other parts. Regardless, this thing costs like $20...you can probably afford to buy a new one every year if it means drinking super hot coffee every day.The inside of the thermos has a non-stick coating, really similar to what you find on ceramic pans and such. It's great if you drink milk-based drinks, which can be kind of a pain to clean off bare metal. I highly recommend getting a bottle cleaner or something that won't scratch the surface. Also, this bottle will start to smell like whatever you put into it, so deodorize it regularly if you plan on putting multiple types of drinks into it. Once I tossed a Red Bull in there, and the mouth piece smelled like Red Bull regardless of what I washed it with. Finally I had to use baking soda and vinegar with boiling water, and it's back to a neutral smell.Overall, I really love this thing. It's a great size, and nice and slim rather than huge and bulky like so many other similar products. I don't want to put a 64oz nuclear warhead on my desk that weighs more than my computer, I just want a small and slim vessel to drink hot drinks out of. This definitely goes above and beyond my expectations. I don't give a ton of 5-star reviews, but this is a great item for $20.

After using a different brand travel mug for years (this one had a push button to drink and was difficult to clean because of that mechanism) I switched to this Zojirushi insulated mug. I've had other Zojirushi products in the past - this one lives up to the high standard that the other ones set.Pros: excellent insulation - in fact, make sure your hot beverage is at the temp you want before you pour it in, because it will stay that way until you are done with it! I used to have to start off hotter to account for heat loss during my commute in to work, but that does not happen with this mug.The lid opens with an easy push of the button, and you don't have to hold the button down to drink - something I didn't realize was an annoyance (and could be a hinderance for someone with grip strength issues) until it was gone. The lid opens in two steps to keep from flinging condensation on you as it opens. You can close the lid easily with one finger - it clicks closed easily and is leakproof once you've closed it. There is a toggle to lock the lid for extra security as well.The lid is comprised of two pieces and has two removable gaskets - this clever design makes for extremely easy cleaning. No more weird gunk left over from my version of coffee (coffee + milk + collagen peptide supplement + flavoring).Cons: this boils down to preference, but for a 20oz mug, this is extremely skinny! I have added a drink coozie to my cupholder in my car so that the mug sits securely during travel, rather than rattling around in the cupholder.The skinniness also made cleaning of the main body of the mug a bit difficult. The interior is coated with a non-stick material that is easy to rinse, but if you want to scrub it, you'll need to find a perfect scrubby brush. I ended up finding a good one in my stash that was skinny enough, soft enough, and had padding on the end (I really don't want to scratch up this coating).I listed this as a pro, but it could be a con for some - this insulted mug is *super* insulated. Keep that in mind when loading hot beverages in - it will stay at that temp for a very long time! I have yet to experience a cool down, even after having my coffee in the mug over an entire work day.In summery, this was a mostly great departure from my old standby travel mug. I'm getting used to the skinniness and am super thrilled at how easy the lid is to clean.EDITED TO ADD:I've been using this thermos for a few more weeks and have come to a few more realizations: I have a very low nose bridge and a little nose - the silicone stopper in the hinged lid gets fairly close to my face when I'm drinking from the spout (there's really only one way to drink from the top since the spout is in one direction) - not a problem for me, but this could be too close and/or will boop the snoot of anyone with a higher nose bridge/more pronounced schnozz.

Buena capacidad y resistencia. Es ligero pero conserva los líquidos calientes durante horas, incluso llevándolo de un lugar a otro (de la casa al gym, por ejemplo). Muy recomendable. No lo he probado con líquidos fríos pero imagino que también los debe mantener bien.

Very nice and sturdy and holds the drink hot the whole day

Está precioso y en persona es más bello que en las fotos. Está un poco caro pero para mí vale la pena porque nunca encuentro uno que me guste de vdd y mantiene súper bien las bebidas calientes, de hecho me he quemado la boca, tengo que dejarlo abierto un rato para que se enfríe un poco. Además trae un sistema de bloqueo para que no se te abra sin querer o con el movimiento del bolso.

É difícil de acreditar como essa garrafa consegue preservar a temperatura por tanto tempo. Ela preserva a bebida gelada por pelo menos 8 horas, e consegue manter a bebida quente BEM QUENTE por umas 3 horas (garrafas térmicas normais mal dão conta de segurar a temperatura quente original por meia hora).Fora que o botão de abre e fecha é extremamente conveniente. Ao contrário de garrafas de plástico, cujos botões só fecham pela força mesmo, o que nos leva ao mau hábito de deixar a garrafa sempre aberta. Mas o botão desta garrafa Zojirushi botão usa uma alavanca, então é muito cômodo manter fechado. Para quem tem gato que adora subir na mesa é perfeito!

Grandeur parfaite et se tient bien dans la main. Lavage très facile et va au lave vaisselle. J’en ai deux, çà dit tout
