Thermos Vacuum Insulated Tea Tumbler JML350
Travel mug for tea drinkers
- Includes a tea infuser
- Fits most cup holders
- Excellent insulation
- Leak-proof cover
- Requires two hands to open
- Holds 12 ounces
- Not microwave- or dishwasher-safe
The Thermos Vacuum Insulated Tea Tumbler JML350 includes an internal infuser so you can brew loose-leaf tea on the go. In addition, the stainless-steel travel mug has two lids: a drinking lid and a covered lid that screws on to make the mug leak- and spill-proof. Reviewers love that they can throw the mug into a bag or backpack, but some point out that it takes two hands to unscrew the main lid, which can be distracting for drivers. The Thermos Vacuum Insulated Tea Tumbler JML350 fits most vehicle cup holders, and its insulation is excellent, according to all reports. Many users say the travel mug keeps their drinks hot for up to six hours. However, the Thermos mug is a bit on the small side, holding only 12 ounces, and some reviewers complain that the mesh infuser is too wide, which lets leaves escape into the tea. The tumbler is not dishwasher- or microwave-safe, but the plastic lid is made of BPA-free plastic. If you don't need the internal infuser, the Contigo AutoSeal Stainless Steel Travel Mug (*Est. $20) also insulates well and it holds 16 ounces.
The Thermos Vacuum Insulated Tea Tumbler JML350 is included in a test at Good Housekeeping, although the commentary is somewhat brief. Amazon.com also has a considerable number of owner-written reviews, some of which go into great detail on the pros and cons of this travel mug. Three tea blogs also review the Thermos mug.
