Review on Stainless Steel Bordeaux Bombilla by Balibetov by Adam Krueger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Smooth, perfect container; Straw allowed

I like this little Cuia-style mate cup, following the tradition of the Brazilian gauchos. It's the weight of a coffee cup and about the same circumference, it takes a generous handful of mate to fill the recommended 2/3 of the way. It also fits my hands well and is well insulated which keeps the mat warm. So far, this has been in line with my ambition to replace my morning coffee; However, as mentioned in another review, the straw is actually leaking and not of the highest quality. So I would recommend buying a different straw to use with the cup (like mine). You can get by with a different straw so overall I'd say the price was good for the deal.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
