[Amazon.ca] Zojirushi SM-KHE48XA Stainless Steel Mug, 16-Ounce | 15% Off | $31.65

Have the 20oz, which is just slightly too big to fit comfortably into a backpack. This is a great mug but it’s honestly pretty horrible for coffee because the rubber seal really holds that stale coffee smell. At $32 for the more practical 16 oz size this is a awesome deal.

I have one of these and its pretty much the ideal travel mug. Keeps temperature really well. Compact and sleek looking. The opening system is the best I've seen and it doesn't leak. Its relatively light weight so I have no issues with taking it hiking.

Only things to note is that it will dent pretty easily if you drop it on pavement. Its not meant to be abused like some heavier thermoses. If you don't open the top all the way sometimes it'll touch your nose and you'll be walking around with hot chocolate on your face without realizing it.

This thing is the best mug i've ever used. Buy it!

Does it have a coating inside the bottle? Is it made in Thailand? Thx.

Smokey Blue version also seems to be on sale and is only $5 more if you prefer the colour.

EDIT: May 4, Smokey Blue is cheaper than SS now.

From the seller description:
"SlickSteel is created utilizing electropolishing technology, these products are non-coated on the inside and instead use an electrically charged polishing process to treat and finish the interior."

From the Q&A this seems to likely be made in Thailand.

Lowest Price EVER on CCC.

Worth every penny.

So I'm guessing this will fit pretty easily in any standard sized cup holder in a car right?

Yes, no problems.

Almost too skinny. Wish it were fatter and shorter so it can fit under my keurig. I have to brew in a mug then transfer into the zoji. Other than that, still the BEST mug i've every owned.

I used to have the 20oz version but misplaced it. I ended up getting a 16oz silky black from amazon warehouse deals for $27.75 a few weeks ago. There was nothing wrong with it and saved myself a few bucks.
I agree that this is an amazing mug. It keeps drinks cold or hot for much longer than any other mug I've used in the past. My only gripe with it is that the opening is very small so its not easy to clean and its near impossible to remove coffee stains.

Bought the 20oz 2 years ago, use it daily. My favourite mug, easy to clean with a long scrub brush. Ridiculously good heat retention, and as others mentioned, leak proof and fairly durable/compact

tempting on getting another one.....

Buy those contigo scrub brushes. It's great for cleaning my water bottles too. And break the lid apart and soak in soap/vinegar or whatever. And voila!

That's true, I forgot to mention that. I also had to do the same. Although the 16oz is much shorter, it still won't fit under the nespresso machine I use

Thanks, I'll try that

Can also confirm this mug is much much better than any Contigo I've owned. Coffee stays hot for 6 hours. The 16 oz size is much more compact and portable than the 20 oz version, I have both. The 16 oz fits nicely into a small backpack and I have zero concerns with spillage, even being jostled around constantly. Recommend rinsing it daily to combat stale coffee smell. At this price, as another poster pointed out, the blue version has a superior finish that IMO looks and feels better and is only $5 more. Snap this up while the price is low!

I have the smokey blue one. Drinks are undrinkable over 6hours later. I hate it and love it at the same time. Its a complicated relationship

Have the 20oz... i cant imagine using one smaller if you intend to have a drink available all day. The quality is amazing though and yes, its far better than contigo mugs (which themselves are great).

Blue looks better but over time, the paint will scratch off with everyday use. The stainless steal colour may look better over time.

I use this primarily for water only and have had zero issues with it. Would work great for coffee but i would be afraid of staining and coffee smell over time.

How do you guys drink these things ....?
I mean that Hot water is burning....
Without the cup just pour into your mouth get burn ?
