Zojirushi SM-TAE48 0.48 L

The 480 ml mug flask from the Zojirushi brand can be classified as a solution at the intersection of the middle and advanced classes. The flask and outer walls of the container are made of 18/8 stainless steel, and the lid is made of food-grade plastic without harmful components (there is no BPA). The Zojirushi SM-TAE48 thermos does a good job of maintaining the original temperature of the liquid.

Thus, boiling water will only cool to 71 degrees Celsius in 6 hours, while a cold drink will heat up by approximately 3 degrees (from 4 to 7 °C) during the same time. It is stated that there is a smooth rounding inside the neck, which should simplify the cleaning procedure, and the width of the neck is 4 cm. This is a kind of balance between convenience and low heat loss. The seal is ensured by a hinged lid with a 2-step opening procedure. A locking lock prevents accidental spills, and the main button first releases excess pressure and condensation. By the way, the lid is made collapsible, so it should be easier to clean. The model is sold in different colors, but always features the Ichimatsu checkerboard pattern, which has special recognition in Japanese culture.
