Questions & Answers
One distinction is that the SM-II is a smaller version of the SM-II. The KC48 has a much larger lid than my other Zojirushi's, which is taller and bulkier. Because it overhangs a little on the front (latch side), it is larger in person than it appears in the photo. However, this one has a slightly larger opening. As a result, the decision is compactness vs. a larger opening
I'll be honest, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for. I LOVE THIS THERMOS, AND I DON'T SEE AN INTERIOR COATING ON IT, JUST THE THERMOS ITSELF, AS I BELIEVE. EVEN IN HOT WEATHER, IT KEEPTHINGS COLD FOR MANY HOURS. br>DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HELP?
The coffee does not stay hot for more than an hour in this product. Carafes are thinner than cans and do not have a lining. I immediately realized that the other brand, which is thermal and has a handle, was the one I should have purchased. I chose something fresh and modern. It doesn't drip, which is great if you like cold coffee like I do. I'm not sure where all these reviews claiming that the coffee stayed hot for hours came from; it appears to be the same product, but it's not the one that keeps anything hot.
Yes, this is always placed on the top rack of the dishwasher. I put the three pieces of the top in the basket that came apart from the top.

The lining, on the other hand, disappoints me. I bought two of these models for my sister and me after looking at the color options. When I handed it to her, she was taken aback by the lining (which had taken me by surprise when I opened mine). A California Proposition 65 warning is present on the box, and a closer examination of the description reveals that it has a nonstick lining. While Amazon does not provide details (which should), the zojirushi website indicates that this lining is teflon. Perfluorooctanoic acid is used in the manufacture of Teflon, so I believe the P65 warning is related to this. It's aggravating to try to avoid chemical exposure by moving away from plastic, only to discover that stainless steel options are also coated with questionable compounds. Using teflon contributes to the production of more of this questionable chemical, whether or not the PFOA is still in the product after manufacturing. The product also outgassed, and for the first few days (even after hand washing), it smelled strongly of plastic. It's surprising that this isn't mentioned in any of the other reviews.
Drinks stay hot enough to be uncomfortable to drink HOURS after being filled, even with the cap open. I have a feeling it's either lined with radioactive material or involves black arts. It's impressive, no matter how they do it.
The hermis is extremely efficient at retaining heat. The outer painted area, however, is of poor quality. I've had older models with less delicate coatings than this one. The coating is still coming apart despite the fact that I have never dropped or hit it against anything!.
This mug has only been in my possession for one day, but I am completely satisfied with it. I ran a test last night, using a Contigo West Loop auto-distribution system. mug that seals I brought water to a boil before pouring it into the Contigo and Zojirushi. I didn't plan ahead of time. The water in both mugs was at 201° immediately after being poured. The water in the Contigo was 102 degrees, while the Zojirushi was 156 degrees after 8 hours. There's a significant distinction! br>br>Today, I pre-arranged a meeting with a potential client. At 6 a. m. , I warmed up the mug and filled it. The time has now changed to 11 a. m. Even after drinking about half of the coffee it originally held at 30 a. m. , the coffee is still VERY warm, as if it was poured into a ceramic mug 5 minutes ago. br>br>The Zojirushi is slightly taller than the Contigo, but it is narrower and lighter. Although it's difficult to tell, the Zojirushi has a semi-smooth surface. The surface has a glossy appearance. When you take a sip, the lid easily flips back and out of the way. When driving, it may obstruct your vision a little, so keep that in mind. br>br>Overall, I'm very pleased with this mug and would recommend it to others.
When it comes to keeping hot drinks hot, this device is incredible. I drink coffee or tea all morning and the drinks are still hot when I finish (5 hours, give or take). Pipes are not allowed. It's sweltering, but not unbearably so. As a result, kudos. br>br>On the other hand, it's a little small (see photo for comparison). I understand that this is part of the functional design (thermodynamics, smaller surface area to radiate, etc. ), but a regular teaspoon fits inside the lip just barely. Cleaning it will also necessitate the use of a bottle brush. Furthermore, the maximum liquid capacity is 15 ounces. br>br>Also, dismantling and cleaning this thing is a bit of a hassle. It's not bad, but you'll have to take the cap apart every now and then, and the instructions are entirely in Japanese, so expect some pictorial interpretation. Unless, of course, you are a native Japanese speaker, in which case; bravo! I was never able to figure it out. br>br>Overall, I'm very pleased with it.
This device maintains the temperature of your coffee. Every other review is accurate. This thing keeps coffee hot for a long time and has a slim profile to boot. The rose gold color is stunning, and once the lid is secured and the lock is snapped into place, I can wipe down the sides for any spills before tossing the whole thing into my purse, which also houses my phone and iPad. There aren't any leaks, so there's nothing to be concerned about. I have a hydroflask with the same capacity, but this thing keeps my coffee hotter for longer, is slimmer and smaller in overall capacity, and is more leak-proof than the hydroflask. proof. Although the Contigo cup is also quite good, this one has a much nicer appearance and is much easier to clean. If I'm being picky, I'd say it's almost TOO slim because it rattles a little in my car cupholder, and the lid has a habit of nipping you in the nose while you're drinking, but overall, this thing is a solid win that makes mornings better. Any device that keeps a teacher awake and alert is worth its (rose) weight in gold!.
I use it in the yard when I'm working and it's still cold and has ice three hours later. The lid seals perfectly, and I've had several of these that I've used every day for three years without issue on my commute to work. My morning coffee was still warm by lunchtime, and I'm on my third one, which I use when fishing, one for coffee in the morning and one for ice water when it gets hot. I've tried many other companies' products and they all fail miserably.
THIS. THERMOS. I used to be a die-hard Stanley fan until the most recent one I bought started to leak. This thermos is used by a lot of people at my workplace, and I'm glad I succumbed to peer pressure. It holds the same amount of stuff as the Stanley in a third of the space and keeps everything hot! The lid took some getting used to; I didn't like having it in my face at first, but now I use it every day. I'm not sure what I'd do if I didn't have it. At this point, I'm taking it in equal parts because it's more cost-effective to make my own tea, but also because this thing might save me someday in the event of a routine apocalyptic Subway shutdown and I'm stuck in a tunnel with a bunch of irate New Yorkers and no access to the internet. br>br>Some people dislike the numerous small parts that come apart; I, on the other hand, enjoy them. I enjoy strong milky tea, so having the ability to disassemble and clean out all of the small pieces is fantastic!.
