Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi Tuff Slim 17-Ounce Stainless-Steel Vacuum Bottle
Customer Review: Very good
Summary: 4 Stars
I came to regard Zojirushi brand due to their leadership position in the bread machine market. I also have much family that use their rice cookers with satisfaction (I still have a Tiger). However, I understand they started with vacuum flasks first. These flasks were invented by Dewar in Scotland but Thermos in Germany patented them and Dewar lost the suit to regain patent rights. Today, Thermos quality is across the board. I'm sure they make some good and some not so good. This Zojirushi isn't the best Japanese craftsmanship, but it's a product outsourced to Thailand. Still, I found it satisfactory. Most importantly, it kept liquid hot.
I preheated it with boiling water, then filled with boiling water. I measured the temperature of the just-filled flask with a Fluke infrared thermometer. It was 175F. This is as hot as practical at my high altitude, higher temperatures would require pressurization. I closed the flask and let it sit upright for 12 hours overnight in temperatures that dipped from 69 to 63F. I measured 154F when the flask was opened. It cooled slightly when I poured it in the cup but it was sufficiently hot for coffee or tea. Adding cold cream or milk would lower temperatures and reduce the effective storage time. It should still be good for 8 hours.
The fit and finish seem good. The flask appears to be entirely stainless steel. The lid is plastic with rubber-like seals and opens and closes without putting a finger on any surface contacted by the drink to keep it sanitary. The outer cap is stainless but has a plastic liner. The plastic appears to be hygrophobic -- liquids bead and shed easily so there is very little residual film in the cup after it's emptied. It performs well but I still might prefer a completely stainless steel cup since I don't like to drink out of plastic. Besides the hygrophobic feature, the plastic allows for reliably working threads to be formed inside the cup for attachment to the flask at low cost compared to machining them on thicker metal. The plastic may also insulate the hot beverage from your hand.
I haven't had any problems with leaks or dribbling. Overall, it seems quite good.
