Old one’s thread has given up. Nicked a new one from work in white as it is almost identical. Didn’t want to unceremoniously ditch the old one, it did a great job for many years and saw many events, so here’s a post to celebrate it. Thank you old faithful, long live the new faithful!

    Some of my best purchases over the last decade (or at least seem to be used the most) are a zojirushi vacuum insulated 600ml mug, dear god the enamel can take a beating, looks (and works) brand new after 5? years and is still in production. Put three coffees in it in the morning and you’re good all day (the way I make coffee anyway). The other was a 1L vacuum bottle (surprisingly actually was) with a pop up straw for cold water off ebay for like $10 on overflow or whatever, which is also a trooper, got lucky.

    Given you use them each day, it’s worth getting good ones.

      I lived with someone who got the same yeti bottle I have. His magnetic lid broke and the bottle was all dented and scratched up and looked like shit within a year. He blamed the bottle. I haven’t seen him in five years…. I still have the same bottle and it has a small scratch on it from someone knocking it off a table I had set it on to use the restroom (someone whose hands were so caked up with lotion I couldn’t drink from it until I got it home and gave it an iso bath)

      Not at all blaming OP—my guy worked a desk job from home and somehow just broke all of this shit all the time, just a fun anecdote.

      Only Zojirushi thing I have is a rice cooker and it’s incredible.
