What am I looking at and why am I excited? Any info about them? I’m just curious I’ve never heard of these

Awesomely over-engineered thermal flasks. The last one lasted my family 20 years and others on this sub got them to last even longer.

They also perform very well in keeping things hot or cold throughout its life. It's an investment when bought outside of Asia/Japan but it's a good investment I'm willing to pay for again.

They also do rice cookers and other lunch boxes (bento boxes) well worth checking out.

Coffee makers also. I had a Zojirushi coffee maker with a insulated decanter and it was the best ever.

Products from the consumer insulated vacuum bottle maker with the best engineering/QC. And sometimes prices to match.

Here, we're probably looking at:

  • (2L) Stainless Bottle SF-CC20 MSRP $66.49 USD
  • Classic Stainless Lunch Jar SL-XE20 MSRP $71.99 USD
  • (600 mL) Stainless Mug SM-WA60 MSRP $62.99 USD

I was recently in the market for a thermal carafe for coffee, and reviews for every competitor said: 'will keep warm for maybe 2 hours', while the Zojirushi reviews stated: 'we can brew the night before and wake up to hot coffee'. So I waited till the one I wanted popped up on Ebay (for $29 rather than $45), and yes, its hot out to 7-8 hours.

Awesome this is the info I was hoping for. Are the ones listed on Amazon the same? They’re cheaper didn’t know if there is a difference.

MSRP: manufacturer's suggested retail price from the Zojirushi site.

Retailers discount. All of these are much less expensive in Asia, so there may be some 3rd party imports undercutting Zojirushi US or Zojirushi EU.
