Pre-heat or pre-chill the bottle with a little hot or cold water, empty it, then fill it with hot water for chimarrão or iced water for tereré. Screw the stopper closed, press the trigger to pour a continuous stream into your gourd and release it to stop. Unscrew the lid to use it as a cup. Hand wash the bottle, lid and stopper in warm soapy water and let every part air dry fully before storing.

The vacuum between the two stainless steel walls does the temperature work, the trigger stopper lets you pour without breaking that seal, and the insulated lid turns the same bottle into the cup you drink from. Together they make one piece of kit you fill in the morning and use all day — chimarrão at home or tereré in the sun.

Key Features
Trigger-action precision stopper - Press the trigger and pour a continuous, splash-free stream at the exact angle you want, then release to seal. No unscrewing between rounds.
Lid that doubles as a cuia - The screw-on cap is double-walled and insulated, so it works as a ready-to-use cup for mate, coffee or tea wherever you are.
24h hot, 24h cold, 5 days iced - Double-wall vacuum insulation holds the temperature through a full day of work, travel or outdoor time.
18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free - Food-grade stainless steel that will not rust or hold flavours, so the mate tastes the way it should.
Retractable rubberised handle - Folds flat against the body for packing and swings out for a firm, ergonomic grip while pouring.
Leak-proof and sweat-free - Airtight seal for the backpack, and an exterior wall that stays dry in your hand and in your bag.
Stanley lifetime warranty - Built to be repaired and kept, not replaced - the same guarantee Stanley has offered for over a century.
How To Use
- Pre-heat the bottleRinse the interior with hot water for about a minute and pour it out. The steel starts warm, so the mate water holds its temperature longer.
- Fill at mate temperatureFill with water at roughly 70-80 °C (158-176 °F) - hot, never boiling, which is what keeps the erva from scalding.
- Seal and goScrew the stopper down, fold the handle in and pack it. The bottle stays closed and leak-proof until you pull the trigger.
Expert Tip: keep the trigger stopper and the silicone gasket clean by rinsing them under warm running water after each use - that is what keeps the seal leak-proof and the erva flavour from building up.
Materials & Construction
18/8 stainless steel body - Also called 304 stainless. It resists rust and corrosion, does not transfer a metallic taste to the water, and takes daily use for years.
Double-wall vacuum insulation - A vacuum gap between the two steel walls removes the air that would carry heat away, which is what delivers the 24-hour retention and the sweat-free exterior.
BPA-free stopper and lid - The polypropylene trigger stopper and the insulated lid are made without bisphenol A, so nothing leaches into hot water.
Rubberised retractable handle - A soft-grip coating over the steel handle keeps the hold secure with wet hands and folds away when you pack the bottle.

Welcome to the world of Stanley. Founded in 1913, when William Stanley Jr. fused steel and vacuum insulation into the first all-steel vacuum bottle, Stanley turned the thermos from a fragile glass object into gear you could drop in a truck bed. More than a century later the brand is part of daily life in southern Brazil, where the Mate and Ideal Mate lines were engineered specifically for chimarrão and tererê - the rituals that define the region - and where every bottle still carries the lifetime warranty the name is known for.
FAQ
How long does the Stanley Ideal Mate Bottle keep water hot?
Vacuum insulation in the double-wall 18/8 stainless steel body keeps water hot for up to 24 hours and cold for up to 24 hours, and keeps ice frozen for up to 5 days.
What is the difference between the 1.2 L and the 1.6 L?
Only the capacity and the body height. The 1.2 L (40.6 fl oz) is the everyday size for one or two people; the 1.6 L (54 fl oz) carries roughly one extra round of mate and is the choice for long sessions, road trips and shared circles. Stopper, lid and finish are identical.
Is the water temperature right for chimarrão?
Yes. The bottle is designed for the mate ritual, where water is served hot but never boiling. Fill it at around 70-80 °C (158-176 °F) and the vacuum insulation holds that range for hours.
Can I really use the lid as a cuia?
The screw-on lid is double-walled, so it works as an insulated cup for mate, coffee or tea when you do not have your cuia with you. For the traditional ritual, most drinkers still pair the bottle with a dedicated cuia and bombilla.
Does it leak inside a backpack?
The trigger-action stopper seals the bottle shut and the lid screws down over it, so the bottle travels closed and leak-proof. The exterior does not sweat, so nothing around it gets damp.
