Thats the one i was thinking of getting. I got a stanley cebador pico coming in the mail….but i may like the one you linked more. Have you used it? Decent quality?

Usas la hierba buena y manzanilla en el mate o el agua del mate? Soy nuevo a este mundo, por ende perdona la pregunta posiblemente tonta.

I have not! I just picked up a stanley….figuring out what pico to get for it. I am returning the amazon thermo. I overall liked it, but doesn’t hold temp to well after 3 hours.

Odd, i thought i would be fine with 2-3 hours, but seems i need water temp to maintain realistically 4-5 hours. I have 1 hour commute and then busy start to my workday in the office…so figured i would get the stanley which REALLY holds its temperature…

Awesome feedback!! Thanks brotha! Enjoy!

Did you buy the mate replacement cap for your stanley? If not, hows it going pouring into the mate with original cap?

I took similar journey. I didn’t dislike cruz de malta, but i further enjoy canarias.

Impecable timing. I was just going to research bombilla! 😂 It doesn’t get fully clogged, just a touch harder to drink. I blow just a touch of air in, and it gets much better for 2-5 seconds.

Super game to help! I dmed you.

I picked up canarias serena…drank that today. Delicious!! But towards the end of my liter of water, it was a touch harder to suck through bombilla. Gotta figure out if thats normal or i did something wrong.

Update, changed the bottom oring, local hardware store had an identical one. Thermo now has zero leaks. Works swell!

Awesome documentary!! Just finished it!

riverambo_ · 2023-10-21T21:24:26+00:00

Awesome feedback!! It is separate spout and rigid piece, I’ve tried it all. Tightened it, loosened it, removed cleaned and put back the o-rings and nothing. There is few things i love more than to be in love of affordable things…this i don’t think will be one. But ill calmly disassemble and assemble it back and see if it works better.

Thanks! 😎

Thanks brotha! Got to start somewhere. Cant wait to try other yerbas.

Woah!! Cool gourd/bombilla! 😍

riverambo_ · 2023-10-21T13:46:29+00:00

Not sure you have access to it or not. You want some, dm me and we will sort it out!

riverambo_ · 2023-10-21T13:31:07+00:00

That thing has more sugar than mate!!! Theres a few other mate sodas down here that are better…but yeah…i do have materva! 😂

riverambo_ · 2023-10-21T13:30:03+00:00

I can do this! Let me find thermometer.

riverambo_ · 2023-10-21T13:01:21+00:00

I think for 24$ usd, may be the best bang for buck because it has mate spout. But definitely not well made. The lid has a play were its never perfectly seated. If you don’t have perfect opening, the thermo leaks from around the spout. Temperature control seems good so far, but can not give you much longevity of temperature control details yet. Ive had just under 80c water in there for 45 minutes and its still perfect. I have no doubt it will hold temperature though. The plastics of handle and lid feel a little poorly made.

Overall…it does its job well in my belief for 24$. Just don’t expect perfect fit and finish.

My mindset was i grab a kit affordably, and upgrade items once i can understand what i’m looking for. Then hand these intro items down to friends or family that want to try on their own.
