Product Description

Color: Stainless

Amazon.com Review

This tumble offers easy-sip, no-spill commuting. Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated thermos travels to work or your favorite recreation spot. On arrival, and for hours afterward, coffee, tea, or soup will still be hot. Or lemonade, iced tea, or a sports drink will still be chilled. It's compact (7-1/2 inches high) and handsome. A band of soft, nonslip black rubber encircles the tapered, satin-finish exterior, ensuring a firm grip. Top and bottom are black plastic. Fine threading ensures the twist top seals tightly, while the smooth interior cleans with sponge or cloth. Preheating or prechilling with hot or cold water is recommended. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars only a little drippy, December 13, 2000

By 

Gaylin Walli - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)

I've had my Nissan 14-Ounce Stainless Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler for going on six years now. I've dropped it, come close to running over it with our truck, taken it camping with me nearly everywhere I've gone, and filled it with nearly every consumeable liquid imagineable. Through it all, it has only gotten one dent (completely my fault) and the gripping strip in the middle of the cup has started to lose a little of its ability to "stick" or stay in place on the metal.

In terms of its ability to keep hot things hot and cold things cold, I'm utterly impressed. Following the directions for prewarming with hot water, I've had freshly brewed coffee burn my mouth more than 4 hours after being placed in the mug (geographically, Houghton Michigan to Mackinaw City Michigan, USA was my test run area). I suspect if I'd not opened the mug up to drink anything, it would have kept hot for a good deal longer (but I'm a coffee addict, so I haven't been able to wait any longer to test this theory). If you're going to make tea, consider making some using the no-string bags instead of the standard string-attached bags. It's possible to brew your tea with the string still on, but it's a little tough to screw the lid back on with it hanging out and to be honest, it opens you up for a second source of leakage. There's no metallic aftertaste in what you drink, a frequent problem with cheaper mugs, and the taste of your drink doesn't linger in your mug after proper cleaning. If your spouse doesn't like coffee but you do, you can easily share this mug without residual flavors leaking in to whatever you're drinking.

I only have three complaints about this version of the Nissan mug, and two are about the latching mechanism. First, the flip-latch leaks a bit. I like the fact that the flip-latch is easy to open and close with one hand. It's very useful if you're in the middle of negotiating rush hour while driving a manual transmission automobile. However, other mugs offer a sort of pressure-related leak-proof seal. This one does not and the flip-latch results in leakage if the cup tips over while you turn or if it somehow manages to fall on its side. The leakage isn't much, to be honest, but it's enough to require cleanup.

My second latch complaint is personal. If the liquid sloshes inside my mug and there's a small amount on the flip-latch when I open it to take a sip, I invariably end up wearing a small dot of liquid on the end of my nose. It's not a horribly long nose or even oddly shaped, but the latch touches it just enough that I sometimes look rather foolish if anyone is watching me drink.

My third complaint is about the shape of the cup. Aesthetically the design is very pretty and the brushed aluminim easy to clean, doesn't show fingerprints, and is darn near scratch proof if you don't drag it along rough pavement. However, the bottom of the mug doesn't fit into any cup holder in my car. It fits well enough in my truck cup holder. But in my car, it's just big enough that the stable, non-slip base padding makes it just a bit too large to fit. I end up wedging the cup between my legs while driving or setting it on the dashboard and praying I don't have to make any sudden movements or sharp turns. A slightly narrower bottom would fix this problem quite handily.

Wishfully thinking, I would have liked to see this mug have a handle. The middle grip strip is very nice and the whole mug feels comfy in your hand, but I like the choice of a handle. And as luck would have it, Nissan has another model with just such a feature. If you like a handle on your mug, consider getting that model instead. I'll be sticking with mine for a little while longer, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best travel coffee mug in the history of the world!, April 25, 2002

By

This review is from: Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)

I have owned four of these marvelous coffee mugs over the years (I keep losing them in places I have been to! Ooops!) and let me tell you, nothing else on the market comes close. Have a hot drink such as coffee? The mug keep s hot to warm for HOURS! Cold drink? Ditto. One time I went wine tasting for the day. I made my normal cup 'o joe at 8:00 in the morning, drove out to the vineyards sipping on it the whole way. By 1-2 PM, a time when most mugs would be dispensing disgusting, cold coffee, this little baby still gave me VERY warm coffee. Wasn't a hot day outside either so the interior temperatures in the car were not a factor. It just works better than the competition. I recently tried two other stainless steel travel mugs. One leaked and the coffee went cold in less than three hours. The other didn't drip but the coffee went cold in about 21/2 hours. So, I went to Amazon.com and bought myself another one. What a treat! Three hours into my day and the (remaining) coffee is still hot. Don't waste your time with others, just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Handsome and worth every penny!, July 20, 2000

By 

C. C. Drier (Monroe, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)

Why would I spend $32 on a Nissan Travel Tumbler when cheaper knock offs abound? Because this handsome travel tumbler is worth every penny. I've used my tumbler every day for the last three years. To this day, I appreciate the way it's crafted. Its snug-fitting lid ensures against any leakage. That's good news for those of us who like to arrive at work without wearing our coffee. And talk about superior insulation. This tumbler keeps my coffee hot even after my 50-minute commute to work! I also love its sleek and classy appearance. The satin finish gives it a great smooth feel, and there's a non-slip grip so you don't drop it. In case you do though there's no need to worry. I've dropped mine accidentally a few times, but it still looks and works great. This tumbler is for anyone who wants a top quality product.
