Zojirushi Stainless Steel Travel Mug 480ml — Cherry, Vacuum Insulated with Flip Lid & Safety Lock

A compact 480ml Zojirushi stainless steel vacuum mug engineered to keep drinks hot or cold for hours while fitting comfortably in bags and most cup holders.

This cherry-colored travel mug combines durable 18/8 stainless steel construction with Zojirushi's Slick Steel interior finish and a secure flip lid with safety lock. Its vacuum insulation preserves beverage temperature for extended periods without adding bulk, and the wide mouth makes pouring, filling, and cleaning easier. The mug's slim silhouette maximizes capacity while minimizing the space it occupies in backpacks, briefcases, or car cup holders.

How well does this mug maintain drink temperature?

The double-wall vacuum insulation substantially slows heat transfer, helping hot drinks stay warm and cold drinks stay chilled for hours. Performance varies with ambient temperature and how often you open the lid, but the insulation is designed for all-day convenience.

• Vacuum insulated stainless steel construction preserves temperatures.
• Flip lid minimizes heat escape during use.
• Safety lock reduces accidental openings that sap thermal retention.

Is the interior easy to clean and resistant to stains?

Yes — the Slick Steel finish is achieved by electro-polishing the 18/8 stainless interior rather than coating it, creating a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that resists stains and spots. The wide mouth allows access for brushes and sponges, making routine cleaning straightforward.

• 18/8 stainless steel resists corrosion and odors.
• Electro-polished Slick Steel surface repels residue for easier cleaning.
• Wide opening accommodates cleaning tools and ice cubes.

How secure and practical is the lid for travel and commuting?

The flip lid is tightly fitted and includes a safety lock to prevent accidental openings, reducing spills during transit. The low-profile design keeps the mug compact, and the lid mechanism is designed for quick one-handed operation while on the move.

• Tightly fitted flip lid reduces leaks and heat loss.
• Safety lock prevents unintended opening in bags or vehicles.
• One-handed flip action for quick sipping while commuting.

Will this mug fit in my car or backpack?

The slim 480ml (16 fl oz) format is built to occupy minimal space while offering ample capacity. Most adjustable cup holders will accept the 2-5/8" diameter, but if your vehicle lacks an adjustable holder, it's wise to measure before purchase.

• Compact design balances capacity and portability.
• 2-5/8" diameter fits the majority of cup holders and side pockets.
• Lightweight for daily carry in bags and briefcases.

Who is this for? The Zojirushi 480ml Stainless Steel Mug in Cherry suits commuters, office workers, students, and anyone who wants a reliable travel mug that looks good and performs well. It’s especially useful for people who prefer a durable, sanitary interior that resists staining and odors, and for those who need a secure, spill-resistant lid while they move between meetings, classes, or errands.
