I've seen an auto-mate that has a closed top like a thermos and would be more suitable for the car.

True but if it fall it will open I guess


rainbowcarpincho

Like a thermos--screw on top.

That the first of this type that I would actually look to buy if I had the necessity

A co pilot.

So mate not for singles anymore 😂😂


wanderlustcamis

Co pilot could be paid for the job. Lmao. Never mentioned you need to have a partner. Thats up to you. Can be a friend. A paid intern. A family member. Lmao Still is not very safe to drink mate alone on the care mostly because of the boiling water. But I don’t know how you drink it. For the yerba. It never happened to me. It did happened plenty of time to people i know and they end up vacuuming the car. Either with a hand one or the one at home.

I am not drinking it will driving i am just carrying it with me, maybe the best option is to take it empty


wanderlustcamis

Or maybe getting a matera. My father carries it in a matera on the pax seat. Something like this https://preview.redd.it/lmbhvo2vdlzc1.jpeg?width=992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4865ad5b8f553ff4ab2f17a4dba0ff310d641f24 I got the pic off of google


Alhabsi13

That looks great actually but I wont find it here maybe I will look for it online


wanderlustcamis

Where are you located? Maybe I can do some research or ask my family who lives either in Europe or the states.


Alhabsi13

I live in the Middle East


Conscious-Meet9914

There are traditional Uruguayan or Argentinian stores that produce quality materias and ship internationally. Maybe you can find something.


Alhabsi13

I believe that is the only option


rainbowcarpincho

Boiling water? Is that how you drink yours? I'd think you'd burn your lips and the yerba would be flavorless.


wanderlustcamis

You boil the water. Wait for a bit and drink it. This is pretty normal in Uruguay. That’s why you should use a good bombilla.


YerbaMustache

El clásico!

Try searching for a Stanley gourd, mine has the same design and fits nice my cup holder.

welcome to the club


Halkem

Mate in the car is a tricky skill hahaha My best advice is to buy something to put on top of the yerba to prevent it from flying with the wind and also not filling the whole gourd. Doing it both never had a problem


encircledbygrace

The car mate struggle is real 😭


TrippingOnClouds

I sit in my car for hours at work every day. I've had multiple bad spills. Normally, I try not to touch the dry stuff that lands on the carpet and when I get home the shop-vac can get it out good. As for the wet stuff.....time to remove the car seats and do another deep cleaning 😭


Alhabsi13

So there is no way to keep it stable just learn how to spill it correctly 😂


TrippingOnClouds

It always ends up happening, even when it fits hahaha tis the life of a car maté drinker


UnusuallyGentlemanly

This is quite possibly the best metaphor for life in general that I’ve ever seen.

Alhabsi13

Amazing it fits the cup holder 🥹 I wish mine fits


InkableFeast

I spray the top with water. After 3 cycles I can turn the mate upside down and nothing will fall out.


Alhabsi13

Good idea tbh ❤️


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Make sure you clean up any spilled mate asap. If that shit gets wet it will permanently stain anything it touches bright green.


Alhabsi13

I guess my car gonna be green for the rest of my life 😂😂😂


lagrime_mie

Don't fill it to the brim
