About a week after I came back from the NY NOW show, someone
from Zak! Designs shipped me one of the company’s flagship
Insulated Travel Tumblers. Unfortunately, the printing on the shipping label
was degraded to the point where I couldn’t tell who sent it to me. So instead
of a personal thank-you note, this post will have to do.
Dear Unknown Angel:
The Zak! Insulated Travel Tumbler is wonderful. It is ten
thousand kinds of awesome. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread, Chinese
checkers, and every other kind of applicable cliché.
The tumbler has the elegant simplicity and functionality of
the very best designs. It’s a double-wall tumbler that holds about 1.5 cups of
liquid, which is the perfect amount for my morning coffee.
I have a long commute, and if I don’t want to get up for
work in the middle of the night, I have to pack my breakfast the night before and eat on the
train. That means everything is either on my lap or on the floor. What I need
in a travel beverage container is stability, absolute lack of leaks, and easy
access to the contents.
The Insulated Travel Tumbler delivers all this perfectly.
Press down on the top, and the tumbler is imperviously sealed. Pop the top back
up with the push of a button, and you can sip your coffee through a perfectly
vented hole in a top that’s tilted at just the right angle.
It’s lightweight, sleek and holds its temperature
beautifully. It also comes with a screw-on infuser top for steeping loose tea
(the only kind worth drinking).
My coffee habit is now safe. Thank you, Zak!
