 Looking for an outstanding Zojirushi thermos with stainless steel *interior*, too? Your search is over!Aug 12, 2011
By Kathleen Francis

I've been a Zojirushi fan for a while now (my water heater and rice cooker both still going strong after 10 years!). After cleaning up yet another spill from a leaky thermal mug, I decided to splurge on a Zoji sports mug. It's hard for me to think of this as a mug, because while you can insert a straw into the narrow opening, it's a little awkward to drink from directly.
I've noticed several people posting reviews about similar Zojirushi items, unhappy with the nonstick interiors. This product group has a plain stainless steel interior, no coatings. I prefer this not only from wanting to personally avoid consuming any flakes that might be shed from the lining, but also because I have a pet bird. Birds are extremely (even lethally) sensitive to heated nonstick materials, so I didn't want to risk the (probably remote) chance of her being exposed to noxious compounds.
Here's the company's compare-the-products page, which was really handy to find this sort of detail:
<...>
So, how does it work?, you ask. Really, really well.
The lab I work in is not air conditioned, so it can get very warm in the summer. I wanted something to keep my ice coffee cold, and I could pour small amounts into a cup as the day passed. I decided to follow the suggestion to pre-cool (or -heat) the mug before filling. In the early evening, I filled it about halfway with ice cubes,left it on the counter (RT=around 80 degrees F), then filled it with ice coffee a few hours later. I took a peek before filling it- the ice cubes had only melted enough to stick to each other- no free liquid! I filled it with ice coffee/milk,left it on the counter overnight, then took it to work in the morning. Later that morning (14 hours after loading the ice cubes), I shook it- most of the ice was still present!
I drank *cold* ice coffee all afternoon, and when I went to prepare the next day's ice coffee, many small pieces of ice were still there- a day later!
The mug itself is surprisingly compact- you wouldn't guess it holds a full liter to look at it. It does; I filled it, then poured the water into a large 1-liter flask- right up to the 1-L mark!
By the way, the box it comes in does *not* say it holds a liter- something like 0.95 L- very weird to have packaging underestimate the capacity of the mug. Oh well.
Now one of the most important elements of a travel-beverage container is the lid. Otherwise great containers can fail if the "interface" does! I like this design so far- push a nifty red button on top to open, push the plastic tab to the side to close. As far as I can tell, it's mechanical, no spring to break or corrode. It seals well; if you don't overfill it to begin with (pushing liquid up into the screw-threads of the lid), it doesn't leak. I've given it a good shaking, and nothing leaks out.
There is a soft rubber gasket which is easy to clean around- important for me, since I like my caffeine with milk or cream! I am not sure if any parts are dishwasher-safe; I plan on hand-washing it rather than risk warping the plastic parts.
It comes with a little cup as a cap on top; handy if you are on the road and want a quick drink. Be careful though, to not pick it up by the top unless you have properly replaced the cap- I found out the hard way! When filled, it will separate from the cap and tumble to the ground if it isn't screwed on right- which is easy enough to do. You line up a ridge on the cap to the top of the handle, and this can be done without properly screwing it on. That's about the only thing resembling a problem I've had with this item.
The handle folds to the side of the mug when not in use, streamlining the mug if you are putting it in a carry bag. It comes with a strap you can snap on and off as needed; I haven't used it yet.
Hope this wordy review helps you make your choice- I know I read dozens before settling on this one, and I love it so far!

beyond my expectationsMar 26, 2012

i ordered my flask back in january, and it arrived rather quickly (expected, being a prime member). i wanted to wait a while to compose a review, especially in consideration of a previous reviewer who seems to have had some awful luck with their zojirushi. if any flaws were going to present themselves, i figured a few uses might expose them.
however, i have had nothing but amazing luck with mine. the day i received it, i gave it a good wash, a better rinse, and then filled it with boiling water. i went roller skating that night, and figured i'd take it with me to live in the car while i skated. being quite the cold winter this year in seattle, i figured it couldn't hurt as an effort to test the flask's usefulness.
thirty (30) hours later, i emptied the flask, and gave my fingers a slight burn in the process... the water was still hot, Hot, HOT!
so i now know that it holds temperature, but how would some drinkable contents hold up?
i like tea, earl grey, hot... and i like additives to my tea (lemon and local honey). after almost three months of using my zojirushi flask at least once a week every week, i have yet to encounter any issues with it. my tea is hot, it tastes fresh as it would out of my favourite ceramic mug, and i have had no health repercussions. i feel bad for the previous reviewer, but it's safe to say that my flask is going to work out just fine :)

This thermos is one of the best one's ive had yet. I have had coffee stay warm up to 24hrs and the open close valve is one of my favorit features on the thermos its quick and simple no twisting or having to use both hands to pour ur coffee.

 DisappointedNov 11, 2011

I bought this item only on its brand, which I have come to trust over the past 30 years. This thermo bottle can't even hold a hot pot of coffee for 2 hours when it becomes appreciablly less hot. This is from 2 days of testing. Upon examining the product, I found it is made in Thailand, not the Japanese made ones I am used to. And the bottle just looks and feels cheap. Again, quite disappointed.

The best I hadApr 06, 2012

I always buy Zojirushi but not 100% happy. With this one that is just sitting now next to me, I am 100%. I love the handle which is retractable and the cup/cover. I had always difficulty closing the cover properly. It happens all the time that you need to adjust the cover so it can close properly. With this one, no worry. It is big enough to serve 2 or more cup of tea/coffee and small enough to carry.
