The reviewer is an idiot. The lid was designed that way because you'd be drinking hot liquid directly from it. if you want to put the all liquid in a glass, just remove the lid.
Tip: if you want more than 20hrs Hot Beverage, pre-fill with boiling water. Give 30 minutes, remove water and add your favorite Hot Beverage. 6 ice cubes kept my Cold Beverage stayed cold for 2 days. It's engineered to drip out. If the stain is too much, ask Zojirushi for a replacement. If you ask nicely, they give you one free.
Zojirushi for the win! Been using for years and its great. Compared to America thermoses they are much more streamlined and lighter but keeps hot drinks just as warm for the same amount of time. The dribble is designed so the liquid doesn't rush out. Also if you pour liquids out at too steep of an angle the liquid will cover both openings making it hard for the fluid to come out smoothly (same idea as why it's hard to pour water out of a bottle upside down...you get turbulent flow)
I think that "dribble effect" is there on purpose, but even if it's not I personall really like it. I don't have to worry that I'll accidentally take too big sip of too hot tea.
I believe that's an actual intentional design, for the reason you stated, as they do have specific bottles for cold drinks that has a vented spout for smooth flow of liquid. smooth flow of hot coffee into your mouth when you try to drink from it will just leave you with burnt lips and tongue.
I bought this three years ago to replace the Hydroflask on a trip to Europe for the fact that it was thinner and fits in my backpack side pocket better and because of the one hand operation. I think it's one of the better cups out there. My wife still uses the bigger brother in orange as her daily driver and won't go anywhere without it. But alas, I have replaced mine with Camelbak Shute with magnetic lid... I not only like the lid staying in place but the built in "grab handle" which I can clip anywhere using my trusty Heroclip.
Yeah, but it’s designed to be drank from if you’re gonna pour it out into a cup then just take the lid off and it won’t splash everywhere. and it sips from just fine as I’m sure you know .
I got one of these randomly shipped to me - I was not the one who ordered it and I have no idea who it came from 😅. But this is one of the best mugs I’ve owned.
I just bought one of these drinking glasses last year and it's incredible how warm it is. I traveled to a place with minus 3 degrees last winter. I put boiling water in it for a day, but it was still hot.
I have a klean kanteen insulated tk wide and I love how it has interchangeable lids, the cafe cup pours like this dribbles but they also have a straw one too and a general wide lid... I'd love to see a comparison between them all with weights included. Some other channels have done comparisons but I don't think they have the same level of knowledge and outlook you guys apply when reviewing stuff.
Did you weigh this? Zojirushi's site lists the weight of the SM-KHE48 as 0.09 lb/1.44 oz/40.8 g, which seems too light to be correct. Otherwise, great review.
Great shout, Michael! We've just updated out product page to show the correct weight. You can check it out here: packhacker.com/travel-gear/zojirushi/stainless-mug-sm-khe48/ - Rebecca
If you're a tea drinker, you should try a ceramic-lined thermos. I didn't notice the metallic taste in my tea until it wasn't there (yuck). Unfortunately there are few ceramic-lined options. I've been using a Bubba Hero 16 oz for years and it's well-insulated and pretty leak-proof (can get dribbly around the mouthpiece as you sip). I'd be interested to see if you all can find some other options.
Thank you so much for these reviews. Its been really helpful. Just a note on exposure as I noticed it in a few videos on my screen the highlights are so washed out i cant see any details. is it a settings thing on my end or is anyone else finding this issue?
One thing no one mentions is the fact this does not hold 16 oz. If you fill it to the line Zoji recommends, it's only about 14.5 oz, which can be quite a difference to some people!
Very untrue! Flat out lie in fact. I have four of them are different sizes and volumes, and they all hold exactly what they say they do. I’m not sure if you work for another company or you prefer another company, the point that you wanna sling mud at Zojirushi, but that is a patently untrue claim. Shame on you.
@@Macsization I had good luck with some Thermos branded ones. But after about 3 years the rubber or gasket gets worn and it will leak, so you’d need to replace it.
White bowl with clear liquid was a miss

You could also drink whilst on a moving vehicle so you don’t get accidental splashes onto your face😅

To show us the dribbling, maybe next time use a colored liquid thanks.
I've been using this one for years! I love it! It's pretty durable too
Awesome to hear that this bottle is still holding up well for you, Kien! 🙌😀

Wouldn’t you pour it by removing the entire lid so it doesn’t get messy?
I’d redo the video. You can’t see the water in the bright lite bowl. Great presentation and personal connection with the product though.
This is the best travel mug ever. I swear they use the same insulation on the space shuttle. I give it as gifts all the time.
Nice! Glad it's working for you, Zachary. 😀🙌

The lipped lid is for sipping, you remove it to pour like a regular thermos

And packhacker lists it as 0.09 oz (2.6 gm). If only :D

@@PackHacker2 Thanks for weighing it. 8.5 oz/241 g seems more realistic.

Its not designed to pour its meant/designed for sipping hot beverage. also its too small to share or pour
this is the right term for it
What is the price, Zojirushi business is in india ?

This is the only water bottle that gets me to drink water. One of my favourites!
You’ve got to stay hydrated! 😃 Thanks for sharing.

How long does it keep drinks cold/hot?
Around 16-20 hours hot, it's a bit ridiculous 🙃
@@1piratewait seriously?! That’s a long time!
@@bloxygigi7736yea. Was reading reddit reviews and a lot of people returned it because it works TOO well at keeping things incredibly hot
A review video where the comments are more informative than the content.
Can you check out the Larq bottles i wanna hear your opinion and a 100$ is a big commitment so I want to be really sure it's worth it's money

White bowl, clear liquid and you say hope you can see this???? No dude we can't. Smh
I had two, but they both leaked. I know most people love these, but they didn’t work for me.
That's interesting to hear, Muper. Thanks for sharing your experience with us here!

Thanks I was about to get it. Now I don’t want to. Let me know if you found non leaking travel mugs
