ZojirushiTuff Sports Stainless Steel Travel Mug, 68-Ounce

I’ve been using the *Zojirushi Tuff Sports Stainless Steel Travel Mug (68-Ounce)* for a few weeks now, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Whether it's keeping my coffee hot during long drives or my water ice-cold during hikes, this bottle delivers outstanding performance.The *leakproof design* is a game changer – I toss it in my bag without a second thought. The *double wall insulation* truly keeps beverages at the desired temperature for hours. I also appreciate the *wide mouth*, which makes it super easy to fill, pour, and clean. The *nonstick interior* adds to the convenience.The *collapsible handle* and *carrying strap* make it perfect for travel or outdoor activities. Zojirushi has nailed both *durability and practicality* with this mug. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-capacity, high-quality travel bottle!

- This Zojirushi 2.0l steel vacuum bottle or 'flask' shines and does exactly what it claims to do.- it comes with English instructions which are easy to follow, despite the Zojirushi being a Japanese company and having instructions in Japanese too!- it is basically a giant version of the smaller Zojirushi steel vacuum bottle. I own the 20 ounce one and I was so impressed by it that I bought this large version.- it has a steel plated upper cover that may also function and is shaped like a cup. It is the outer cover that closes the vacuum bottle.- there is a smaller white cup or bowl that rests just beneath the black and steel cover which is immensely helpful if more than one person is using the vacuum bottle!- it has a middle opening and closing lid that is very well made. It is black with an inner blue color and a gray gasket. This cover can be opened on its own completely to pour or empty liquid contents into the vacuum bottle. It also has a spout that is opened using a red button that can be used to pour the hot or cold contents of the bottle to the accompanying white plastic cup or the black and steel cup with a handle. The spout is closed using the light gray knob at the end of the black and blue lid. This is an excellent invention as one does not need to open and close the entire lid to pour out contents!- it has a blue adjustable handle that opens up slightly for easy holding and handling and closes and rests flush against the steel bottle when not in use.There is an adjustable strap that is provided that is very useful if you want to carry the bottle as a small backpack accessory with your hand/s or shoulder. This strap holder is especially useful if you are to use the bottle for camping or a sleepover or when entertaining outdoors or indoors. It's very versatile and multi-purpose!- it keeps hot liquids hot for 7-8 hours. Hot water only keeps extremely hot for 8 or so hours before it starts turning warm and then lukewarm. Hot liquids/beverages such as coffee or tea stay hot for 7 hours before they start getting warm then lukewarm. This would serve most people's needs for a whole day of keeping liquids warm. A good thermos usually doesn't go beyond 5 hours before the liquids get colder and colder. Also, there is nothing to break if it falls (if a thermos falls the flask breaks) as the whole container is steel.- on hot days, this bottle shines! If you put ice cubes in there, they last a whole 24 hours or more. There will be a slight melt off especially if the bottle is kept in a hot place or outdoors which you can empty using the spout by pressing the red button!- I have used this steel vacuum bottle for serving coffee and tea to many family members and. guests in colder mornings, used it for camping and hiking and storing ice cubes for more than 24 hours.- I have taken pictures to show you the actual bottle, what is contains and how it stacks up against the smaller 20 ounce Zojirushi bottle and the Zojirushi Bento Vacuum container. I am sold on Zojirushi since I bought a rice cooker some years ago. I wish I had come across these other food and beverage products sooner!

Most of my experience with this bottle is from extended winter camping. This thermos does an awesome job at keeping water inside from freezing. Unlike some thermos' lids, the wide top of the Tuff Sports can be opened even if there is some ice build up. The spout is great, easy to use when moving, unlike a nalgene. My old thermos' lid had no spout, to drink out of it I had to pour a cup at a time into the lid. The Tuff Sports bottle is easy to drink with one hand.I have had the grey pop-up mouth freeze shut a few times (at around -20*f), but this was probably due to having the thermos on its side in cold weather. I was still able to take the lid off due to the wide mouth of the bottle, unlike my old thermos which on a few occasions had the lid frozen shut completely.pros:large volumewell-designed lidgood thermal retentionthe bottle itself is lightweightgreat carrying handlecons:spout cover can sometimes freeze shutgot a few dents in the bottle after some serious abuseThis is the most ideal thermos that I have found for keeping the water inside it from freezing. It is lighter than many thermoses of smaller volume. I used to carry two bottles with me on winter trips (1l nalgene with insulation cover and one heavy 1l stanley thermos). Now this Is the only water bottle I use, as it is both lighter and more effective.
