Product Inspirations – Stainless Mug (SM-SC36/48/60)

It’s spring and we want color!

Our new Stainless Mug (SM-SC36/48/60) is a lightweight, portable mug that lets you take hot or cold beverages with you, wherever you go!

It comes in 12, 16 and 20 ounce capacities and is available in beautiful Coral Pink, Turquoise Blue and Slate Gray.

The compact design takes up minimal space while maximizing capacity. These durable mugs are made using high-quality 18/8 stainless steel and use Zojirushi’s superior vacuum insulation technology, which keeps beverages hot or cold for hours. Hot coffee and tea stay fresh, as do cold water and iced teas.

The Stainless Mug has been designed with versatile features to fit various situations. The mug is highly portable, in part because of the unique lid design. When used properly, the lid lock stops the lid from accidentally opening in your bag, and two gaskets keep the lid securely on the mug to minimize leaks and spills. The lid has a 2-step flip open top, which helps excess condensation fall back into the bottle so drops don’t flick out when the lid is opened. And an air vent on the mouthpiece allows beverages to flow out smoothly, without gushing or overflowing. The lid also covers the mouth area, keeping it sanitary. In addition, the non-stick interior coating makes the mug easy to clean, and the lid also completely disassembles for thorough cleaning. Finally, all areas that come into contact with liquids are BPA-free, and with a 1 ½ inch opening, the mug is easy to fill accommodates full-size ice cubes.

We love this new Stainless Mug not only for its innovative features, but also because of the variety of beverages we can take in it. We’re avid tea drinkers here at Zojirushi, so we love taking hot tea with us on our morning commute. Hot Green Tea (Sencha) travels really well in our Stainless Mug and is a great way to start the day. Brew the tea at 175°F, and pour the strained liquid into the mug to keep it hot all the way to work. We also love drinking iced tea in our mug, and the hot sencha tea can be sweetened with a little bit of honey and poured over ice cubes to make Iced Green Tea (Sencha)!

It’s National Hot Tea Month, and we love our vacuum-insulated Travel Mug (SM-YAE48) for keeping our freshly brewed green tea hot and delicious!

The Travel Mug (SM-YAE48) is stylish, versatile and convenient. It rests securely in most car cup holders, taking up minimal space while maximizing the capacity of the mug, which can hold up to 16 ounces. The leak-proof design makes it ideal for carrying in a bag, backpack or purse. And the unique lid is designed to flip open completely using a two-step process that minimizes spatters. The drinking area is designed to comfortably fit the contours of your face and the air vent in the spout is designed to let beverages flow out smoothly.

The Travel Mug also features Zojirushi’s superior vacuum-insulation technology for outstanding heat and cold retention along with the hygienic electro-polished SlickSteel® interior, which repels odors and stains. The wide mouth opening makes it easy to fill and clean, and the entire mug can be washed in warm water and mild dish detergent.

These features make the Travel Mug perfect for taking beverages with you where you might be going. Morning coffee and tea stays hot during your commute. Cold drinks such as flavored waters retain their temperature and taste throughout the day in the Travel Mug.

Brewing sencha tea with a Zojirushi Water Boiler & Warmer

We particularly love this mug for drinking hot Japanese Sencha green tea. To make Sencha green tea, start with water heated to 175°F. Our water boilers are great for heating water to the exact temperature, but heating in a kettle on the stovetop works as well. When the water is at the right temperature, place the tea leaves in a pot or large cup. Be careful not to brew the tea with water at too high of a temperature, as the tea will become bitter. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let them steep for one to two minutes. While the tea is brewing, swish hot water in the Travel Mug to preheat the inside. This little trick will help the mug to keep your drink hot longer. When the tea leaves have finished steeping, pour the strained tea into the Travel Mug, and you’re ready to go!

Our favorite recipe for brewing Sencha is on our website so feel free to check out.

The Travel Mug comes in four beautiful colors: Lime Green, Cherry Red, Dark Cocoa and Stainless and can be purchased on Amazon.com or at your favorite specialty retailer.

We hope you enjoy using it as much as we do. And don’t forget to pin a photo of your travel mug with #ZoGo!
