The I just bought a Zojirushi Thread

I don't drink coffee
I don't drink tea at work
I don't bring iced cold beverages with me anywhere


But I have a Zojirushi mug now.


No better time to start than now!

Bought a zojirushi thermos for my mom for mother's day.

Actually, ive wanted a Zojirushi rice cooker for years now, but I can't get them locally and importing from Japan or Amazon US is really expensive.  Seriously, fuck the mugs. If you're a family who never really eats decent rice, then a zojirushi will blow you away. 

What in the hell is wrong with you people?

Thinking about buying a rice cooker because fucking rice.

I bought my mother a 300$ Zojirushi rice cooker when Ryan first mentioned them around two years ago.

Whatever guys, I had one before it was popular. Now that it is, I don't like it as much anymore.

I'm thinking of getting me one of those Zojirushi mugs, just because it's awesome even though when I make something hot or something cold to drink, it's gone in five minutes...

But I still want one!  What do you think, Zach?    

 Tested's Will Smith heavily hinted at a Whiskey Media/Zojirushi cross-over in last week's This is Only a Test podcast.

Gary: "You should do a licensing deal with Zojurushi to put your logos on it."
Will: "It's interesting you say that... It is interesting that you say that, Gary Whitta."
Gary: "Is it?"
Will: "It is very interesting that you say that, Gary Whitta."
Norm: "I'm going to hold off on buying one now."
Will: "That is an interesting thing to suggest, Norman Chan."

Thanks, never heard of this until now.

Just used my Zojirushi 17ounch for the 1st time today and its giving me this odd taste to my coffee. Like the plastic or rubber is affecting it. I did wash before I used it, so not sure if it's an issue around that.  Anyone else experience an odd taste from their thermos?

Has anyone actually purchased one of their rice cookers that can give me a testimonial? Cause I want to eat some quality rice.

I'm waiting to relocate (to my gf 2 hours away) then we're getting a rice cooker from Zojirushi. I'm thinking of getting a thermos.

If you're a tea drinker then ideally you'd want to just keep hot water and make the tea up as you need it but most people make the tea and put it in the flask and take milk in a separate flask or bottle.  If you add the milk and keep it in the flask... urgghhhh.  If you've had tea in India where they add milk and keep it boiling, it's like that but worse.

I just bought two off Amazon Canada, one for me and my mom because she has been asking for a good thermos. 

I'm now down a total of $200 to the tune of Zojirushi. Giant Bomb really needs some complementary Zojirushi stock or payouts for all this.
 

Check out Ryan's Zojirushi mug's Amazon page and look at " Customers who bought this item also bought:"  In that section, there are some more Zojirushi's, a couple of Thermos-brand mugs, and... Portal 2 and L.A. Noire.  If anyone had any doubt that the Bombcast is leading to higher Zojirushi sales, there's your proof!

After visiting Amazon a few times over the last few months and looking at Zojirushi mugs, I finally succumbed.

The tipping point was about 5 minutes ago. I was just working away in the office and thought to myself "damn, I could really go some regular-ass black coffee". The walk to the nearest refreshment area is too long. Thus, Zojirushi.

I don't drink coffee, so I had no reason to order a Zojirushi, until I heard my mother complain about how she always makes coffee and is too busy to drink it, so it gets cold without her drinking it.

I told her "CONSIDER THIS SITUATION HANDLED." And ordered her one off of Amazon.

@Nikral:

How about supporting Whiskey Media instead?

I bought one of the other thermos' (sorry, vacuum insulated container) from the Tested video, a Thermos model. I actually bought two.
 
I hold Giant Bomb responsible, they put the idea in my head.

Bought the big-ass cold beverage only 41 oz model to bring to work. This thing is fucking magic. Ice that I have placed inside the Zojirushi at around 6PM was still there when I woke up the next morning! I was like "ICE! HOW DID YOU NOT MELT?!?"

Mind you, here in Texas, temperatures right now can be as high as 110F. How the ice did not melt in ~14 hours astounds me. I am sensing some sort of black magic coming out of this...

I bought a 51 oz tuff boy a while back, for hiking and stuff since I can't use a real thermos mug at work (security reasons, so dumb)

The 17 oz stainless steel featured on Tested and the bombcast has been out of stock on Amazon except for blue and white, and I want black so I've been waiting.

I got the 17oz blue one for fathers day. It is seriously amazing. I got a coffee made in there at a Starbucks at 5pm, and it was way too hot so I just kinda left it and then forgot about it all together. When I finally dragged myself up to bed at 2:30am (9 1/2 hrs later), I noticed it was still sitting there and took a sip. It was just barely drinkable. Madness.

@WickedFather: This model that I've purchased comes with a hidden compartment in the lid to hold tea until you need it!

Zojirushi has your back

I've apparently had a zojirushi mug for years that I just noticed was, in fact, zojirushi brand.

I bought a couple thermos' as gifts. Seriously Giant Bomb should get a cut of this.

I ordered a black Zojirushi SM-KA48 for my tea today.

It took a while, but they got me.

I think it's indicative of the sheer exuberance and repetition of the Zojirushi talk on the site that, 5 years later, when I needed a coffee thermos that Zojirushi was the first thing that I thought of.

just got one

too fucking effective, kept burning me after six hours

@huckleberrysassacre: I stopped using mine because of this. It became too much work getting it to not burn me.

I use mine with disposable cups so I don't get burnt.
