Couldn't have asked for a better product!
Amazing cup, not only is it very aesthetically pleasing (the pictures on amazon don't do it justice), but the functionality is great. The notch keeps the bombilla in place perfectly. The mug does get a bit hot to the touch but I actually like that aspect because I know that when it becomes comfortable to hold then it is a perfect temp to drink. I've owned many gourds and have been drinking matè on a consistent basis for the last 5 years and this is by far the best I've owned. Natural gourds are nice for the classic feel but this is much more hygienic and convenient for the every day user.<br /><br />Oh and I almost forgot, It's made in the USA!
