Know before you buy
Thanks to its double-wall vacuum insulation, this mug is designed to maintain optimal temperatures for several hours. While exact performance depends on the starting temperature and how often the lid is opened, it is highly effective for keeping coffee hot during a commute or water cold throughout a workday.
Yes, the lid features an integrated safety lock that prevents accidental opening. When the lock is engaged and the lid is snapped shut, the mug is completely leak-proof, making it safe to toss into a bag or backpack.
No, this mug is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the vacuum seal and the integrity of the stainless steel finish, we recommend hand-washing the mug and lid with mild dish soap.
The design includes a cover that keeps the mouthpiece protected from external contaminants when the mug is closed. This ensures the area you drink from stays clean, even when the mug is stored in a bag or sitting on a desk.
The SM-VA72-AD features a slim, cylindrical shape designed for portability. While it fits most standard vehicle cup holders, the 720ml capacity makes it slightly taller than smaller models, so it is worth checking your specific vehicle's clearance.
