Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug
16-Ounce, Lavender/Pink
A stainless mug is a vacuum insulated mug that is designed to drink directly from the mug. Although similar to travel mugs, it offers better heat retention because of its tight fitting lid, and can be stored in a bag or purse without spilling.
How does it keep beverages hot?
The air between two thin layers of stainless steel that make up the body of the mug is removed to create a vacuum. Because there is no air, the temperature on the other side of the wall does not transfer over, keeping
beverages hot or cold for hours.
The Story About Zojirushi
Zojirushi (pronounced ‘zoh-jee-ROO-shee’) began in Japan in 1918 as a manufacturer of hand-blown glass vacuum bottles. Today, Zojirushi’s product line extends to high-end small appliances such as rice cookers, bread makers and coffee makers, high quality vacuum insulated products like vacuum bottles, lunch jars and carafes, and commercial restaurant and coffee equipment. In the past few years, Zojirushi has enhanced the focus on design and how appliances fit into everyday lives with the introduction of a variety of new products. The name Zojirushi means 'Elephant brand' in Japanese.

Product Description
Zojirushi SlickSteel Finish Stainless Steel Mug
SM-KHE 36/48
Zojirushi's stainless steel vacuum insulation mug will keep your beverages hot or cold for 6 hours. The compact design takes minimal space and fits in all standard cup holders while maximizing capacity. The flip lid is designed to open with a single hand. The flip lid is tightly fitted for excellent heat retention and features a safety lock to prevent accidental opening. These mugs have a stainless steel interior with SlickSteel finish. Utilizing electro-polishing technology, these products are non-coated on the inside and instead use an electrically charged polishing process to treat and finish the interior.

Temperature: I poured hot tea in it and was so busy I didnt drink it at school all day. So on my way home (10 hours later) I decided I didnt want to waste good tea and took a swig. OMG NOT A GOOD IDEA. It was still too hot for me! Even though I regretted that for a few seconds I was really surprised and impressed by this. Just for fun one time I tested it by pouring boiling water in it then 2 min later putting the cap on. I then checked the temp 18 hours later. Still hot. STILL HOT. Not warm. HOT. I do live in a warmer area so the coldest environmental temp was probably like 68-70F. With a vacuum seal that shouldnt matter but its worth mentioning.
Cleaning: so easy! It comes apart and you can just wash and dry everything really well. Then reassemble in a few seconds. I even accidentally left milk and coffee go a little stinky in here once and after a regular wash there was no smell at all. That only happened one time but I was really happy about the lack of reminders of my mistake.
Use: I have definitely locked this and just tossed it into my bag before. Its very secure and I have had 0 spills in 6 months of use. Also I like that when you tilt it to drink you dont get a Niagara Falls size gush of liquid onto your face.
VIDEO: b/c I was confused about the parts so I thought others could use the help.
UPDATE February 2015 (posted as a comment but moved here for visibility): Original video poster here! Glad some of you found my video helpful! I couldn't tell what the parts were and I thought this thermos was awesome and deserved a review so thats why I made it.
Anyhow, I have had this same thermos for 1.5 years now and its still going strong. Ive taken it on lots of plane trips, shoved it in various luggages/bins to travel, really abused it as far as a thermos goes. But thats why I bought it! Still keeps my drinks unfailingly hot/cold, doesn't leak, looks great, and is still basically awesome. I even bought a couple more thermoses for family members and they are having the same success. Its worth the up front investment for this one. It does seem like a lot when you have $5-10 choices at supermarkets.
I bought a bottle brush to clean it (OXO good grips bottle brush from supermarket) and it works perfectly. I don't take the whole thing apart every time- just give the parts a soapy soak/wash every few times then air dry and reassemble.
1/2023: still going strong. Use weekly or so now, I don’t think this will ever die?
This mug is perfect for those who enjoy their beverages piping hot, as it keeps them almost too hot for hours on end. In fact, I've found myself needing to let my drink cool down before taking a sip, which is a testament to the mug's incredible insulation capabilities.
However, I must admit that its ability to retain heat can be almost annoying at times, as the contents never seem to cool down to a comfortable drinking temperature. But for those who prioritize hot beverages, this feature is undoubtedly a plus.
In addition to its impressive thermal insulation, the mug is also well-designed and durable. The smoky blue color adds a touch of elegance, and the stainless steel construction feels sturdy and reliable.
One thing to note is that, as with any vacuum-insulated container, it's essential to be cautious when using carbonated beverages. My son learned this the hard way when he put carbonated water in the mug, causing it to pass by the internal seal. However, this was more of a user error than a flaw with the mug itself.
Overall, I highly recommend the Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug to anyone looking for a reliable and long-lasting travel mug that keeps beverages hot for hours on end. Just be prepared for drinks that stay hot, almost annoyingly so!
