Novomates Double Wall Glass Yerba Mate Cup With Stanley Steel Bombilla and Container Set - 8.4oz (250 ml)

Great way to enjoy your matè in a modern way. Easy to clean, nice to hold, and the canister is attractive and handy to store mate

This is one of the best options for drinking mate if you are busy and don't want to spend time in cleaning and maintaining the gourd.Pros- It is hygienic and very easy to clean, even if you forget the used mate herbs inside for a while (better than "organic" gourds; similar to silicone ones).- It is solid and balanced (better than silicone ones; similar to traditional ones).- The bombilla works well in general.- You can see the water soaking the mate (I think that's nice).Cons- It is not at all traditional.- I guess if it falls it can break (although the gourd or wood can break too; silicone not).- For some mate herb textures, the bombilla may not be work perfectly (neither do the traditional ones).

Nice tea cup and straw for tea or yerba mate. Metal straw gets very hot but works great

I have been drinking Yerba daily now for ~8 months and have bounced between 4 gourds now, two metal, and one calabash. The metal Balibetovs had the issue of being too big, and the actual calabash I used proved to be a bit of a pain to clean, and the mold was off-putting to say the least. This product, however, is a good size, shape, looks appealing, and is ludicrously easy to clean. For at-home use, this is becoming my daily gourd.As always, there are a few things to note.Firstly, it appears that the manufacturer changed the design of the product and used the same page. If you look at some of the older reviews and see a product the size of a teacup with a spout, THE REDESIGN IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. The redesign is slightly bigger, has no spout, and features a vent hole in the bottom. It was a bit disappointment to see it was noticeably larger than the reviews seemed to indicate. The lack of a spout is a disappointment as well, but not the end of the world. The picture listed on the product is accurate so I wouldn't call it false-advertising, but it WAS irresponsible of the company to use the same product page to sell a different product. As a result, a lot of the reviews are completely obsolete and can't be used to accurately judge the product.Also, the tin included for storing yerba leaves had multiple dents. The dents weren't too big, but it was a flaw in the product nonetheless. Furthermore, some 500g bags of yerba won't fit in this container depending on how dense they are. I tried to fit a bag of Anna Park in the container and it wouldn't fit all the way which ended up taking more space from my kitchen cabinets.

Elegant and modern looking glass mate cup! I love the transparency and clean look it has. Though its more practical and less messy using one that is not so open at the top (so you can collect the mate powder with the palm of your hand when shaking), it does it job well enough! I would have rated 5 stars if it weren't for the container that arrived damaged and bent (recommend better packaging).To the people that are concerned about the glass exploding, common sense would be to not pour boiling water. After all, you are not suppose to pour boiling, but hot water. If your new to drinking yerba mate, I suggest watching a few tutorial videos on how to prepare and drink. If your lucky enough to have a friend from Argentina or Uruguay, just ask them :)
