Zojirushi is awesome but those flasks are legit too good. Even if I prepare my coffee the night before, it's way too hot to drink in the afternoon so I have to open it and let it cool for like an hour.

i had a stanley with a similar "issue". took me a few days of trial and error to figure out exactly how many ice cubes to add to bring it down to the perfect drinking temp.

Yes! I used to bring soup to work in one of those, and it just never got cool enough to eat. That said, Zoji flasks work super well in keeping cold drinks cold.

We loved ours and had the same problem. Now they leak when you sip and thats just untenable. Sadly we had to retire them, we couldn't get it fixed.

Zojirushi makes a thermal cooker which is basically where the inner layer is a pot that you can boil a soup or stew in on the stove, then place it into another insulated container with a lid and it would be an energy-free slow cooker.

On the personal vacuum flasks, I usually toss in a small ice cube which gets it where it needs to be or I'll be burning my lips on hot tea all day.

Their higher end appliances are fantastic. I've got their induction pressure rice cooker and their water boiler/dispenser.

Yes, that water boiler is amazing. Wife goes through one 3.4 liters of boiling water every two days (she doesn’t like cold water and she drinks a lot of water every day). Best damn money I’ve spent, imho, gets daily use and keeps water piping hot. Just so damn convenient.

And every once in a while if I want tea or a hot drink, I can just pop in to the kitchen, press a button, and instant hot drink!

We have 2 of those thermal cooker at my momma house. It was expensive but it still works like brand new after 14 years!

We use it on a weekly basis.

Yeah they're definitely not meant to be drinked from, unless you like your throat burned (or store lukewarm drinks).

I really like their products.

That's exactly why I started drinking with milk!
