I would usually still need to let it cool a bit to a drinkable temperature. Really an incredible piece of kit. My only complaint was that it can be a pain to do a really good clean as they aren't recommended for the dishwasher.

very good. I can’t imagine devoting so much study and attention (and then posting on a webpage about it all!) to a cup for my flights and now have a new appreciation for those who do. Thanks for the insight, fellas.

These Stanleys that people are apparently risking serious time in the slammer for..... Is it just an influencer driven idiotic trend (like the plane trading cards) or are they worthy of the insanity? And if so, will they fit a Boeing cupholder? 😁

If Japan would build a commercial airplane, I expect it would be amazing.

(Counterpoint: Americans probably wouldn’t fit in the seats).

In lieu of that pipe dream, I guess a nice little beverage holder that is better than the paper cripe coffe cup lids that commit seppuku on Day One upon a brand new, exquisitely pressed and starched new shirt (from China) must suffice.

(Quite possibly the most SWPL APC thread to date. https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/200...ine-notebooks/ . Trivial, yet useful.).

Like the Mitsubushi Spacejet?? I have a Zojurishi rice cooker and hot water boiler and they are well engineered.

Do you put yours in the dishwasher? I have been debating getting one..but I refuse to hand wash anything.

Japan tried to do exactly that not long ago. Google Mitsubishi airliner. It didn't go well.

Lol yes. And by hand wash I truly mean just giving it a rinse 😬
