Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug Tuff 480ml Matte Black SM-SE48-BZ

This mug keeps my coffee hot and most surprising given its slim trim appearance and feather light weight meets/exceeds the capacity of my previous mug which was a good 33% larger and much heavier. My initial purchase was heavily influenced by this mug's engineering and carefully thought out functionality and it has not disappointed in any way. It is a great mug and I really like it!

I like the locking mechanism and the opening process as it's easy to do without looking while driving. Good amount of liquid in a bottle that fits in my cars cup holders. It's only a couple of ounces less in volume than the plastic bottle it replaces, but it weighs 2.5 ounces less than the plastic bottle. A good trade-off to my mind, since it's much better for the environment.

After doing some research I came to the conclusion that this was the best thermos money could buy. I was looking at YETI and Contigo as other options. Then I came across this awesome youtube video that showcased the Zojirushi against those other two products. Zojirushi has FAR better temperature retention and that's what sold it for me. I am ridiculously impressed with how long my tea stays hot in this thing. 12+ hours easy and your beverage will still be very hot. I've made tea at night now multiple times, woke up the next morning and the beverage is still just as burning hot, no joke. At lunchtime, it's still hot. This mug is absolutely amazing. Best thing i've bought in a while :D
