Great insulation, even brews a nice cup of tea! | |
| This is a great product- leak proof with amazing heat/cold retention. For tea drinkers, I just thought I'd add a better description of how the tea lid works. It is actually not a strainer for leaving the tea leaves in the cup (the tea would be so bitter!), but an ingenious way of brewing tea! You put hot water in the cup, then screw on the strainer, add the loose tea leaves, screw the top lid on, and turn the cup upside down for a quick brew! (Since it is leak-proof, you actually can turn the cup upside down easily) After brewing, you just turn it right side up and replace the strainer holding the spent leaves with the sipping lid, and voila- a quick and pretty decent cup of tea! Highly recommended. | |
Great! | |
| I am extremely impressed with the near-flawless performance of this tumbler! Heat or cold retention is EXCELLENT (I've never owned a Thermos Nissan product before, so did not know what to expect, but this thing keeps tea scaldingly hot for hours, and takes several (8+) hours for ice cubes to melt.) The shape of the tumbler is excellent...fits in the hand comfortably. The screw-on "closed" cap is great for sneaking this thing into a library or computer lab without worrying that it'll spill inside your bag on your computer or papers. My ONLY complaint (thus 4 stars) is that the tea strainer is: (1) made of a metal screen instead of nylon mesh, and (2) is not of a fine enough weave. With the way this thing keeps stuff hot, you might take a few hours to drink your tea...and if there's a significant amount of tea dust in it (that slipped through the coarse weave of this tea filter), your tea is going to be quite bitter near the end. (I might install a nylon filter inside the metal screen.) All in all, not a bad purchase at all. | |
Good Looking, easy to cary but... | |
| Updated on 04-18-2004. Go to the bottom after the double line for new info: I bought this product a couple of months ago. Pros: Cons: After some time, the mug did loose its spill-proof ability - I am assuming that I might have a defective piece or maybe it does not like being washed in dish washers. Yet I gave it a four star rating is because I do believe that Nissan makes great products and their build quality is excellent so I don't want to doubt their quality as yet because of one maybe faulty product. Also Amazons great customer service is helping me take a second look at the mug to make sure that I don't get stuck with a defective piece. I have a new one on order; I will write another review once I get it and use it. ================================================================= | |
