Zojirushi SJ-SD12 1.2 L

The Japanese company Zojirushi is ranked among the world's leading manufacturers of food containers for long-term maintenance of the temperature of drinks. She has no shortage of experience in the manufacture of thermoses — in the current 2018, the company celebrates its 100th anniversary.

Lightweight flask

The SJ-SD12 maintains the temperature of the contents for as long as the best glass flask thermoses. However, in this case, high-strength high-quality steel is used, and even of reduced thickness, which has a positive effect on the total weight of the thermos. In addition, a Teflon coating is applied to the walls of the metal flask of the model — resistant to plaque and does not absorb odours.

Temperature retention

6 hours after filling the thermos with boiling water, the temperature of the contents in it is about 80 °C, after a day the drink also remains hot (54 °C). With the maintenance of cold, everything is as follows: at the initial temperature of the liquid in the thermos at 4 °C, after 6 hours the contents will warm up only slightly (up to 8 °C).

Reliable valve

The cork of the thermos is equipped with a valve mechanism for the convenience of pouring the drink into cups. The wide filling opening is opened by pressing the red button, and is locked with a mechanical latch. If you forget to close the valve in a hurry, it will close automatically when you put on the outer cup lid.

Winning combination

For ease of carrying, the thermos comes with a removable shoulder strap and a folding rubberized handle(when folded, it fits snugly against the body of the model). The combination of all the above trifles adds up to an overall positive picture, exposing the Zojirushi SJ-SD12 in the light of one of the most thoughtful and easy-to-use thermoses with a capacity of about 1 liter.
