Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

They are the best by far when it comes to being leak-tight and actually keeping your drink warm. Mine keeps my tea at a good, drinkable temperature for hours.

Just make sure not to put the body into a dishwasher if you're getting a coated one. It'll start peeling of. The cap can go in the dishwasher no problem.

Can confirm the coating is peeling on the 4 year old coated one from dishwasher washing however my all stainless cup bought at the same time looks great.

I specially chose the non-painted one.

What are your go-to tea selections?
