Kinto Travel Tumbler 350ml Black

Product Information

Immediately wash and dry well after use, then store it away from other metals to prevent rust. Do not leave it soaked as it may rust or break. Wash with care. It can't be washed in a dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Do not use chlorine bleach as it may cause rust. When rust spots are found inside the tumbler, add warm water and citric acid in a ratio of 10:1, wash with soft sponge after leaving it for 2-3 hours, and rinse well. The vacuum insulated Kinto 500ml Travel Tumbler is designed for people who lead a conscious and flexible lifestyle for those who appreciate the subtle flavors of drinks at the temperature that is just right for your body. Its vacuum insulation is remarkable, and freshly brewed V60 coffee at 7:30 a.m. comfortably stays piping hot till past noon. Kinto advertises six-hour performance for both hot (above 60ºC/149ºF) and cold (below 8ºC/46ºF) beverages, but I found that solid ice lasted well past the 12H mark when not regularly opened.

I got the 350ML stainless steelversion which proved to be just large enough for users like myself who aren’t in the habit of guzzling their beverages.

Coffee tumblers are a dime a dozen, and for such seemingly simple implements, the wide range of prices is rather impressive. Coming in at the pricier end of things, the Kinto Travel Tumbler retails from about SGD 50, pitting itself against fellow insulated mugs and purpose-built coffee-focussed options.

The drinking experience rivals that of regular coffee mugs, and is rather pleasing. Downsides: odours, cleaning & condensation But as much as the double-lidded design is a boon for the Kinto Travel Tumbler, like every design it comes with a few compromises. With the Kinto, it means three separate silicone gaskets: two for the topmost lid and one for the lower one. The Kinto Travel Tumbler is leakproof. Close the lid and cap tightly to prevent spills or leakage when carrying. Attach the silicone rings correctly. Keep the product upright to prevent accidental spills or leakage. Ensure the cap is tightly closed when opening the lid. Be careful when drinking hot beverages. Even if the tumbler surface is cool, the drink may still be hot. Do not leave the product under high temperatures such as in a car. Do not leave the product with beverage inside for a long time as it may spoil or cause rust on the tumbler. While this means the tumbler is extremely watertight, the extensive disassembly creates quite a headache when it’s time to clean up. The multiple gaskets also tend to harbour odours, which coffee with its oils and aromas tends to create.
