| Thermos Nissan Ultimate 14-Ounce Stainless-Steel Vacuum Travel Tumbler |
|
Product Details For easy-sip, no-spill commuting, this thermos offers an ingenious solution. A lever opens the sip-hole with a light squeeze of the fingers. Relax the fingers and the hole closes. Bingo! Since the lever lies opposite the sip-hole, the Travel Tumbler works for righthanders and lefthanders. 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 (7-3/4 inches high) and handsome. A band of soft, nonslip black rubber encircles the tapered, satin-finish exterior, ensuring a firm grip. Top, bottom, and L-shaped lever 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
Product Reviews (1 stars) - It leaks! I bought this product because the the ratings and reviews. It leaks from the top. Maybe I have a faulty one but as soon as my mug it tilted tea spills out through the sprout. It is not worth the price. I am back to using the cheap plastic one I bought at target because at least it does not drip on my clothes.
(5 stars) - Great Coffee Cup! This cup was purchased for my husband who is a full time coffee drinker. He has used Nissan Thermos Travel Tumblers for years and was devastated when he lost the one like this with the handle. He likes the ease of drinking coffee with it while on the move, and that he can hook it on the back of his belt and keep both hands free. It maintains HOT coffee for hours, is very sturdy and won't break when dropped. It is hard to find this particular design in local stores, so we were delighted to find it on Amazon.com
(2 stars) - Another crappy mug. Sigh. I dealt with this mug for months, despite how awful it was. It worked best if my intention was to suck down all my coffee at once, scalding hot. If I actually wanted to get out the door with it and down to the bus stop, I could expect that by the time I stopped walking and went in for a sip, some sort of thermodynamic magic would cause the lid to essentially spit my coffee into my face and down my shirt. I actually took to wrapping a paper towel around the cup, just under the lid. It didn't really help. And then I would get this... spot. A smudge of coffee on the tip of my nose where it kissed the lid, which I'd then wipe with the back of my hand. So there I am. At the bus stop. Day after day. I'm drinking tepid coffee from a crummy cup that spews crap all over me like that little girl in "The Exorcist", with a tiny brown smudge on my nose that I absently wipe at, wondering where all the good mugs are. I drive X-country with a friend, spilling coffee all the way. "Get a better mug!", she'd cry, yet I was powerless, totally unable to stop myself from using it every day. I tried to hone my technique - lean out, sip slow, sip fast. After I finally got back home, a co-worker actually STOLE it. I didn't say anything. I was stunned. And then one day, she starts complaining to me about "her" mug. "It leaks", she says. "But it's like I can't get rid of it. It spills over my clothes and I get it on my face. And it's like, I know it's crap, but I keep using it. It's SO stupid!" And for all I know, she may yet be powerless to escape. But I... I'm free.
(3 stars) - Not terrible/Not great - Not spill proof, but did not leak around sides.
- Keeps drink hot/cold for about an hour, then declines.
- Difficult to clean around lip at top, noticeable smell after a while.
Overall:
If it is heat/cold retention you are looking for, you could probably do better with a thermos. If it is a coffee mug, I would want something a little easier to handle.
(4 stars) - Its faults are my fault I've had one for 10 years and I still like it best even though I have gone through a few others. It's pretty ugly since I machine wash it every day which eventually caused the bottom ring and rubber grip to come off. However, the top still works and the hot/cold properties are as good as ever so I can deal. If I carried my mug around, in and out of school or work or even a park, I might grab one of the newer mugs that don't look so abused but for driving around with the thing in a cup holder it's fine. I don't need to impress the toll collectors. YMMV
