Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler
Customer Review: Great mug, so-so lid
Summary: 3 Stars
I like Nissan Stainless vacuum technology, it really keeps your drinks hot or cold for many hours. However, the lid on this tumbler is problematic in 3 ways. It is over designed, and thus fails to do what a simple cap could have done.
It loses temperature insulation
Its harder to clean
It can leak
This tumbler does not keep liquids as hot as long as the Stainless bottle does, both in advertised numbers and my experience. Pouring boiling hot water in the Stainless bottle and the tumbler, the bottle water is too hot to touch 24 hours later, and the tumbler at 3 hours. Nissan claims the insulation is good if you cannot feel the warmth on the outside of the containers. On the bottle, this is true, but on the tumbler its warm to touch near the lid, and not on mid or bottom, even behind the grip.
The lid on the cup has 2 parts: the tumbler half is permanently connected to the stainless steel body but leaves a small gap on the inside of the cup. There is an O ring around the inner lip. These areas trap old coffee and will leave a residue that inevitably change the taste of coffee. I've had it happen to similar designed cups before. Depending on use, it can take days for it to build up to appear obvious as a smell or drip of strange looking fluid. The silicone ring can be stretched with a toothpick to see underneath.
The top cap screws onto the top of the tumbler cap and has a silicone o ring that seals the connection. To clean it, you need a probe about pencil thin. If residue builds up here, it will cause the tumbler to leak.
Some Starbuck mugs have this silicone ring, and after a few month of use with hot water, it cracks. Rubber O rings last for years.
Many cheaper mugs are easier to clean, are dishwasher safe, but none have Nissan vacuum technology for keeping liquids hot or cold longer. Often, the cheap mug cap is a screw-on direct to a mouth of the cup, stainless or otherwise. There is often an easy access external rubber o ring that seals the cap with the cup, and is easy to clean or check for defects. These rubber O rings are extremely durable, last longer than the cup, make a tight seal, and are easy to clean. A well cleaned cup is the key to good coffee, if not good health!
Finally, the tumblers snap cover sucks up a little liquid as it sloshes inside. Touching it consistently gets liquid on your hand or your nose, unless you wipe it clean each time you open it.
Description of Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler
Stainless steel travel mug.This tumbler offers easy-sip, no-spill commuting. Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated thermos travels with you to work or for recreation. On arrival and for hours afterward coffee, tea, or soup will stay hot or lemonade, iced tea, or a sports drink will stay chilled. It's handsome and compact (8-1/2 inches high), plus its 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom fits most vehicle drink holders. A band of soft, nonslip black rubber encircles the tapered, satin-finish exterior, ensuring a firm grip. The top and bottom are black plastic. The sip-hole cover flips open for no-spill sipping. Fine threading ensures the twist top seals tightly, while the smooth interior cleans with a sponge or cloth. Preheating or prechilling with hot or cold water is recommended. --Fred Brack
