Functional, easy to clean

Just opened the box and there there only tin and the straw , but not the cup. So upset as it’s a Xmas gift and missing content isn’t a nice thing at all 😔

Nice

I've been drinking yerba since the 1970s when an Argentinean friend gave me an extra mate & bombilla. During the decades that followed, I have owned and used gourds, ceramic cups, glass Irish coffee mugs, aluminium-covered wood & silicone rubber mates... even a Sterling Silver artesanal mate y bombilla. My preference has always been for non-porous receptacles as these are less likely to develop mould and are easier to keep clean. When I saw this stainless steel Novomates "calabasa" I was taken with its shapely form and decided to give it a try. For me it is perfect as a single-serving mate. I was impressed with the double-wall construction as the outside stayed quite comfortable after multiple additions of 76C water. No metallic or "gourdy" taste! A wet sponge and drop washing up liquid keeps it clean & ready for the next use. I must confess that I did not use the bombilla that came with it as I already have a personal favourite. Oh, yes, the flat bottom keeps the Novomates gourd from tipping, even with my industrial strength bombilla standing in it! For a newcomer to yerba, this is a great mate. It's my new fave!
