Hi can anyone tell me if this travel mug is able to be sipped from with the lid fitted? And if that is case , can you usually drink from it without dripping coffee down your front? cheers Steve - Melbourne
Steve61I don't have this mug (SM-YAE48), but I have a different Zojirushi mug that has almost the exact same lid (SM-SC60HM). The difference is this one the lid screws into the bottle like a screw into a threaded hole, whereas mine the lid screws on top of the bottle like a nut onto a bolt.
The lid has a convenient pouring spout, which you can also use to drink from. Between the lid and the bottle there is a rubber gasket attached to the lid. When you screw the lid into (or in my case, onto) the bottle, this gasket is designed to wrap from the inside of the bottle, over the top of the bottle (directly between the lid and the bottle) and then over completely over to the other side of the bottle. It COMPLETELY prevents any liquid from escaping between the lid and the bottle. I can try to take a picture to better describe this, but it's quite well designed to prevent spills and drips.
As for dripping due to "pourly" designed spouts, I've never dripped anything from the spout on my bottle.
$27.50 to get it in a month, or $29.40 to get it tomorrow... I'm afraid a lot of these "deals" lately have just been drumming up more business for Amazon.
CheapDealsZojirushi travel mugs are OUTSTANDING for heat retention. No worries there. But be aware that this model retains a bit less than the skinny version (which I prefer for handling and cleaning reasons). Actually, the reduced heat retention of the model on sale here might be welcome... I've burned my mouth more than once (yeah, you'd think I'd learn).
NOTE: The ratings shown are from the manufacturer, based on water at a starting temperature of 203°F (95°C) at a room temperature of 68°F (20°C).
SKINNY MOUTH VERSION: 187°F @ 1 hr. / 154°F @ 6 hrs.
WIDE MOUTH VERSION (AS SOLD HERE): 178°F @ 1 hr. / 133°F @ 6 hrs.
Is this mug easy to cleen? Especially the mouthpiece area.. does it have complex mechanism and parts that dirt can clog inside the mechanism or is it simple rubber and hole seal?
EliadI own one of these. It's got two gaskets, a rubber head, and a mouthpiece. All are easily removed and logically reassembled, and every part can be easily cleaned except for the mouthpiece tube, which you might need a pipe cleaner or something to reach properly.
Alpha279This might be a tad late but wirecutter just did an article on how to get the smell out of silicone bits with low temp baking, might be worth a read (shot).
Alpha279As long as I wash it after each use, and since I'm only ever going to use this mug for coffee, it's kind of pointless in my case to worry about coffee smell. :-)
NoFatNoFlavorThanks for the info. I'll gladly pay massdrop an extra dollar to support a killer website vs. supporting the evil giant website! I suspect and hope there are more folks like me too.
I just didn’t need this larger 16oz size so didn’t join the last drop. However, I did buy the smaller 12oz one soon after that and can attest to the amazing thermal retention of the product. 12oz is the perfect size for a single cup of coffee and is extremely portable. And I typically quick-sip throughout the day (sustained release 😉) and keep the lid closed. The coffee is still hot for at least 4 hours and warm for the rest of the day. Simply love it.
glennaci agree with everything this man said... and that is why i dont use it...
keeps my coffee steaming for 6hrs, want some cold coffee put in fridge overnight! and still closer to room temperature than anything.. and just not enough size (12oz).. so i only use it when my 18 oz no name becomes not steaming hot in about an hour or less.. unless it's being washed. but i drink the majority on the way to work (30min commute) and the efficacy of the zojirushi makes that very hard to do.. for someone that drowns in 32oz of coffee a day and 16-32oz of energy drinks a day...
glennacI had my BIL buy me one while he was in Japan, made myself a tea with fresh boiled water at 9pm that night, it was not drinkable until the following evening when I remembered it. Excellent product
