Stainless Steel Mug, Black, 16 Ounce

I will confess first, before I begin, that I have a pretty strong bias toward Japanese products. This is going back to the days when Sony had no equal in electronics, and when Toyota/Honda were leading the small car revolution. With that said, please forgive me if I sound too impressed with this home run of a mug purchase. I had heard that zojirushi made good products, but I've had some bad travel mugs and figured it could have been just another cash-in on brand power. I ordered the stainless steel 12oz because I needed a small one for easy travel (most of my travel is on foot or on bike, living in a big city and all), and when it came, I did thorough investigation of its capabilities. Immediately, I went to the kitchen sink. I filled the mug with water, sealed on the cap, locked the lid, and proceeded to turn it sideways, hold it upside-down, swing it around, shake it vigorously (while still upside-down too!), I pretty much did everything I could, short of anything that might damage the mug. Not a single drop came close to wetting my hand or anywhere else. I even wiped the counter with a rag afterward, just to see if I missed something. It was bone-dry. Next came Coffee. I love coffee, drinking several cups a day and switching to decaf so I can drink more in the afternoon and after dinner. I filled this mug up with fresh coffee, and even half an hour later I almost had to nurse drinking it to avoid burning myself; The coffee was practically just as hot as when I had poured it. I proceeded to comfortably drink hot coffee for several hours without any need to reheat or refill my mug (except of course, for more coffee). Amusingly, it even kept coffee hot longer than the insulated coffee pot did! (funny that one, maybe I should get a zojirushi coffee maker too) Lastly, the ease of operations challenge. They claim that it's easy to open this mug, drink, and then close it, all with one hand. I will admit, at first it took me a little bit of getting used to the operation, but within a few days at most I was using it fluidly with one hand, which was perfect for my commute, or when shopping at busy downtown markets. I could walk through thick crowds (this is pre-covid of course) and not have any problems with opening it, drinking more coffee, and closing it. Of course, it was still hot even when walking in the nippy winter air. This really is my idea of a perfect travel mug. You can't make it leak (even when you throw it sideways into a purse for a few hours), you really can use it one-handed, and it really does keep the drinks hot. I've done tea in this as well and it was just as good an experience; Never tried hot cocoa as zojirushi advises against milk products being used (If I recall correctly, it was something to do with the pressurized, sealed containers being able to build pressure due to milk doing what milk does). Regardless, what I've asked of it, the mug has proceeded to do with flying colors. I cannot recommend this mug strongly enough. If you ever find yourself wanting to have a small, reliable, and easy-to-use travel mug, then you cannot go wrong with zojirushi.

I absolutely love this Zojirushi travel mug. The insulation is amazing — it keeps my drinks hot for hours and still warm later in the day. It’s lightweight, compact, and perfect for daily use or commuting. The lid design is very convenient and leak-proof, so I can confidently throw it in my bag without worrying about spills. It’s also easy to clean and the build quality feels premium. Highly recommended if you want a reliable, long-lasting travel mug!

I need a petite travel mug to fit in my cup holder, but this was a bit too tall and thin to fit well. I also like to pourover brew my coffee straight into the cup, but the opening is too narrow for my hario pourover. I do however love the size for slipping in a work bag or purse and it seals well with zero leaks. The flip top is really convenient too. The mug keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold better than any mug I've ever had. For hot drinks I've found they stay too hot to drink for hours. I traveled with it and used it for ice water and the ice stayed frozen for 2 days. While not exactly the mug I was searching for, this is an exceptionally high quality mug.

Well built, easy to clean, and keeps my coffee so hot I could burn myself an hour after I pack it - there is even a warning sticker! I thought it was BS but it's true, you can easily burn your mouth with how hot it keeps your coffee. It's also metal so it can withstand a drop or two. Fits easily into any cup holder or backpack and DOES NOT LEAK. Checks all the boxes - expensive but worth every penny

I bought three different mugs before I got one that fit in my husbands cup holder, kept coffee hot for many hours, and held 2 cups worth. It looks stylish too. Good quality.

Great mug, keeps my coffee hot for 8+ hours, after that, it's still warm. It was working great but I dropped it one too many times and the vacuum seal broke, so I had to replace it. Lasted 3 1/2 years. Just make sure to clean the rubber gaskets thoroughly. I didn't and had to replace them. That being said, I love that all the gaskets are replaceable. One star off because sometimes it didn't want to open one handed.

It really is the best travel mug. The lock is leak proof, the bottle keeps the heat for hours. We've had a few of them over the years and always repurchase (once one gets worn out or lost!). This is a small size, but it is perfect for having a bit of tea or coffee on the go.

El producto es muy bueno, conserva el frío por buen tiempo.

Snygg men håller inte värmen lika bra som sina föregångare. Helt ok.

Las bebidas están calientes incluso despues de 8h! Despues de 2-3h casi como lo has preparado. Es diseño muy durable. la única desventaja: un poco dificil limpiar la parte donde se bebe.

Tamaño ideal, seguro para evitar derrames accidentales, sello Perfecto y mantiene mi café caliente por más de 8 hrs.
