Argentina Captain No.10 Yerba Mate Gourd, Double-walled Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mate Cup for Keep Hot/Ice Coffee, Water, Tea and Beer, with Bombilla Straw, Cleaning Brush

Was a gift for my husband and he totally loved it. He mentioned he enjoyed the fact that it was ready to use.

Great gift. Recipient liked it.

Buena calidad, de acero inoxidable por dentro.

I've read all the other reviews of this product, and they are good reviews. Maradona was an amazing player, and Messi is equally incredible. Those penalty kicks to win the World Cup? Amazing. I follow the Argentina team, and I spent several awesome years in Buenos Aires. So to say that I was looking forward to this cup is an understatement. I was giddy looking forward to it.It is a very nice cup. Basically like half a thermos, vacuum sealed so the mate' (NOT Macha!!!) stays hot. That being said, there is one thing I really dislike. The logo is printed only on one side. 3/4ths of this cup is plain white. All the photos on the store page are a clever angle to make you think the entire cup is blue and white (azul y blanco!) but no. I was given the impression that this cup is likely mass-produced with a convenient and small logo printed on one side to sell as many as possible. I have no problem with the capitalism, but I got this cup to show my love for AFA. Now if I want to do that, I am going to have to carefully hold it with the logo facing out like a product placement in a movie for anyone to see it. Yeah, I don't like that. Still 4 stars because it's still a really nice cup. But man, those product photos are a lie.

Me gusta mi mate ..

For almost 30$ it has a bad paint finish. White paint has a mark and in other areas as well. See photo.

We loved this Cuopru mate set. It came with a very large metal mate (cup), a bombilla (metal straw with a built in filter), and a brush to clean the bombilla. The mate holds just over 1 cup of water (measured without any yerba). It is just under 4.5 inches tall. The base is about 2.5 inches in diameter, while the mouth/opening of the mate is about 3 inches in diameter.The mate is a tribute to the Argentinian soccer team and its legendary stars Diego Maradona and Leonel Messi (who each wore the number “10”). The metal mate is mostly white on the outside, with two light blue vertical stripes on the front. The number 10 is printed in black, overlapping the blue stripes. Above the number “10” are the words “MATE GOURD”. Below the number “10” are the words “DREAM WITH US”. The inner surface of the mate (cup) has a matte finish. You can see a sort of "seam" inside the cup, which might be the parting line from being molded.The set came in an attractive blue and white striped box that would make it appropriate to give as a gift. It almost looked like a container for nice cologne.
