Zojirushi Stainless Steel Non-Stick Vacuum Travel Mug, 600 ml (1 Pint) - Black

𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞: "Zojirushi Stainless Steel Non-Stick Vacuum Travel Mug, 600 ml (1 Pint) - Black"𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥: SM-SA60-BA𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 0.235 kg (9 oz)𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 66 millimetre (2.6 inches) circular [own measurement]★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: never seen anything like it. It is almost as insulating as the huge Thermos work series flasks! Expect to burn your tongue 12h later!★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞: leaking does not seem possible with this design, and I've bounced it around under many travel conditions, 𝑢𝑛𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 you misplace or somehow poke holes in the inner, silicone gaskets.★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐎𝐧𝐞-𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: all drinking operations can be done one-handed including unlocking and opening.★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: high insulation also means no touch temperature issues.★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: steel walls and no pointy cap exterior bits makes this tougher than most other travel flasks, despite the plastic cap.★★★★★ (5/5) 𝐁𝐏𝐀-𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬: most of the mug is stainless steel with an impressive inner, nonstick white coating (nothing like Teflon). The Stopper and the Lid Cover are polypropylene, the Lid Cover Gasket and Stopper Gasket are silicone and the exterior paint is Acrylic Resin.★★★★☆ (4/5) 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: sleek, uniform, narrow design. It even seems to have two steel-lined holes in the cap, front and back, which could thread string loops. Comes with no loops, handle, nor carry case though.★★★★☆ (4/5) 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞: relatively spill free, but the inside of the cap can get drops on your face when near the bottom of the drink. Tip: keep the lid back with your index finger. Do not burn your face with hot drinks by suddenly tipping the mug!★★★★☆ (4/5) 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧: very easy to clean, though the cap has two, easily separated internal parts (a nipple-like gasket and the rest of the lid), so be careful to keep them together and preferably clean them separately.★★★★☆ (4/5) 𝐒𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞: no strange smells new. However, the silicone gaskets may retain some smell from smelly hot drinks after many uses. If you only use the bottle for the same drink, then its no problem, otherwise, you may want to invest in a special cleaner or another bottle for non-smelly drinks.★★★★☆ (4/5) 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: paint at bottom slowly chips away. Given Japanese manufacturers' attention to detail, I am surprised at this paint flaw.★★☆☆☆ (2/5) 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝-𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞: the manual says, "Do not allow infants or small children to use this product ... Mishandling may cause injury or scalding.". This obviously depends on the child and the drink, but it's a sensible warning. I added an extra star because both a closed lid, or locked lid and its very strong insulation will prevent all but the most unfortunate or ingenious small child from hurting themselves simply by touching the bottle.★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞: probably not due to the external paint durability and perhaps silicone gaskets. The manual says, "To protect the paint, print or stickers on the outside of the Main body: Do not use a dishwasher or dish-dryer. Do not boil to sanitize. Do not use bleach on the outside of the main Body."Other cleaning instructions from the manual:► Do not clean with thinner, benzene, abrasive cleaners or other harsh cleaners.► Do not use chlorine type bleach.► Do not soak in water for an extended period of time.► Wipe moisture off thoroughly to prevent water stains or rusting.According to the manual, Zojirushi sell a special cleaning detergent called "SB-ZA01" or "SB-ZA01E", specifically for removing coffee and tea stains. However, Zojirushi America on Youtube also state you can try any other non-bleach coffee pot cleaner as long as they are safe for stainless steel and nonstick coatings.If the base dimension stated at the top does not fit your car's travel mug holder, Zojirushi seem to do another product series called "SM-YAE" or "SM-YAF" which are specifically made for car holders. I do not have one to check their dimensions though and the dimensions are not mentioned in the manuals for some reason.Included image is the final page from the Zojirushi SM-SA/SM-SC Instruction Manual which has a handy Specifications table and other information.𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: probably the best overall travel mug available; anything else and you must be looking for some very specific feature or style. I will be getting more as gifts.

This goes with me everywhere. I fill it with coffee in the morning and gradually sip it through the day, it has amazing heat retention, not just staying hot, but boiling hot. If you pour hot coffee into the flask when it is cold, it will retain its heat for around 6-7 hours, which is long enough for me. If you swill boiling water around to preheat the flask before adding the coffee you can add a few hours to this.I tend to drink straight from the flask rather than pour it into a mug, the lip is designed to be drunk from and it doesn't slosh if you drink while walking like some other flasks do. The cap and locking mechanism is well designed and as long as you lock the flask before putting it in a bag you can be confident it won't leak. The lock prevents the button to open the flask being accidentally pressed.I have dropped it numerous times and apart from a dent and a few scratches it has held up really well.It is not cheap, but I have paid for it many times over with the amount I have saved from not buying coffee at coffee shops. Highly recommend.

Looks very smart, and is as easy to use and clean as they say. It's heat-holding capability is remarkable. Made a drink of tea in a tea pot, let it brew for about ten minutes, and then poured into the flask. Went to drink it 5 hours later and it was still too hot to drink. In the end I left the lid open for nearly another hour before it was at a comfortable drinking temperature. This is exactly why I went for this particular flask, as people had reported its abilities. The spout is well designed for drinking, enabling the contents to be drunk comfortably without any spilling or dribbling. More expensive than other flasks, but if you want something to keep your drink hot, then it's well worth the money. Not tried it with a cold drink, but have no reason to doubt its performance there either.

Got this flask because the good reviews.Item is very nice, like the lid because definitely it does not leak and keeps the drinks super hot. My only BUT is: I got the item because the despcription says it is stainless steel, and partially it is, except the internal coating seems to be Teflon... and I am not a fan of it. The ideal world for me is 100% stainless steel for the outside and the inside of the flask

I'll start off by saying that I really want to give this 4.5 out of 5, but since you can't do that and I don't think it warrants a 4 then i'll give it the full 5.As a travel mug this is absolutely fantastic, it doesn't leak, the locking mechanism means it can be placed in a bag worry free and the heat retention is simply the best i've ever come across. I've made coffee, been sent away on a job and come back to it 10hrs later and it's still hot... not just warm, I mean hot. A handy tip is to make the coffee at the temperature you want to drink it at! Previous mugs I'd make hotter than usual to account for heat loss over time, there's just no need to do that with this mug unless you do plan on leaving the contents in there for 10hrs. My mouth was burnt the first couple of uses as I went to take a drink a couple of hours after making it and it's still just as hot. Even with the mug sitting with the lid open, it still stays hot a long time, I'm genuinely blown away by this mug.For that negative 0.5 star, I'd say the drinking mechanism could be a bit better. There's an air hole above the drinking hole but it really makes no difference, it's still a little struggle for liquid to come out as air tries to get in. It's not a major gripe but can be a little annoying and there's no way around it.
