Zojirushi (ZOJIRUSHI) Water bottle direct drinking [One-touch open] Stainless mug 600ml Navy SM-SF60-AD

This is a fantastic travel mug in pretty much every way. The bottle is shockingly lightweight, the locking lid is both leakproof and easy to clean, and the design is sleek and modern.However I was mostly interested in its ability to retain heat. People frequently rave about this mug online, and I've seen some wild claims about it working "too well". Apparently it retains heat so efficiently, that beverages are still boiling hot even after sitting around for days.That, to me, always sounded too good to be true. So I wanted to test it and see how well it works. I boiled water and filled the mug to the very top - the water was 208F right before I closed the lid. I put the lid in the locked position, and left the mug sitting on a kitchen counter. The room temp was 65F when I did this.After exactly 6 hours, the water was 173F, aka 35 degrees cooler than it was in the beginning. Still far too hot to drink, but a decent temperature reduction nonetheless. For comparison, the product details state that if a drink is 189F at 1 hour, it should be 160F at 6 hrs, aka 29 degrees cooler. So my water was 6 degrees cooler than advertised, but because my water started at a hotter temperature, that seems fair (also I realize that the product details won't be perfectly accurate every single time).I checked the water again after 12 hours (so 18 total hours since I started) - the temp was now 129F, and far easier to drink (but still hot). So after 18 hours, the water had cooled down 79 degrees in total.All of that being said, my takeaway is that this is a phenomenal mug. It kept my water hot for almost a day, and it definitely seems to work better than every other travel mug I've used (Yeti, Stanley, etc). However, the claims that the mug is able to keep drinks perfectly heated are clearly exaggerated. In fairness, I only did this one test, and it was by no means scientific or anything. But I think it's fair to say that while this is an above-average thermos, it isn't going to magically keep your beverages scalding hot for days. I still highly recommend it, as it works really well and it's just a well-made and cool-looking thermos overall.

this product is the best I have found for keeping coffee HOT- I tested hot water overnight and it kept HOT for 8 hours.And it is simple design, great dark blue color and is a winner for HEAT retention, my primary goal.zi find that preheating bottle before pouring HOT coffee in helps significantly. Love it

The Zojirushi (ZOJIRUSHI) Water bottle is impressive. It is so light, your first question is; what is it made of. It definitely keeps the liquid really cold, or really hot for a very long time. Functionally, you can't buy anything better. Now, the question is, how long will it last. If you have problems, it will be with the lid. Will the gasket fail, will the latch fail. You can buy replacement parts. But, only time will tell how long it will serve you. If you handle it well, it should last awhile.One thing for sure, your coffee is going to stay hotter than comfortable to drink for a long time. I'm going to buy another one to give to my wife.

Totally leak proof, which is why I got it. Easily holds my 16oz daily latte AND the contents are still warm over 12 hours later. Absolutely amazing.

About six months ago I bought a Yeti for the first time, based on all the glowing reviews. It's okay, but doesn't retain much heat after about 5 hours, and the stainless steel is either stained or rusted (and that happened after a week). So I started looking for something better.Excellent heat & cold retention was my main criteria, but ease of cleaning and no leaking were also important. And I wanted another 20 ounce cup. I studied ALL the cups with lids and their reviews, multiple times. I was trying to pay less than the bag of gold & treasure I paid for the disappointing Yeti.One day the Zojirushi popped up. I kept passing it by because it looked like a thermos, not a cup, and the price was in the same range as the Yeti -- giving the possibility of two expensive cups that didn't work.But the reviews were stellar, some of the one star reviews were because liquids were still too hot hours later, clean up did look simple, the lock feature meant no drips, and even though it wasn't a "cup", it was possible to open & drink one handed. So I put it on my list and waited for a sale.A month and an Amazon Sale Days! later, there was no sale and I bought it anyway. I'm so glad I did. It's feather lightweight, the lock feature is secure, the design of the drinking spout is perfect, it's super simple to clean thoroughly, and the heat retention is AWESOME!!I fill the container with hot coffee before I go to bed, so that I can have coffee before getting up (I'm retired). After seven or eight hours, the coffee is only slightly less hot than it was when it was packaged. Perfect drinking temperature. I cannot believe the heat retention of this thermos. If I were going to get a drink from it after only a couple of hours, I'd probably have to pour it into a cup to cool a little. Highly recommended and well worth the price.Tip: the instruction booklet is in Japanese.

Holds heat/cold all day, I got rid of all my other “use to be the best” all day drink containers.

Keeps beverages hot for hours!!
