does it come with the yerba mate?

No. A kilo of yerba mate is about $13-15. Try CBSe if you like a more herbal tea experience.

What is the difference between the two different bombillas? How do you decide which to use?

I preferred the round one I’m used to that type of bombilla.

Is the gourd 18/8 food grade stainless steel?

Not sure, but I sure LOVE this product!!!

The product information says "product care instructions: machine wash, hand wash only" which is it? can i put it in the dishwasher?

It says it's double walled stainless steel. Normally those are hand wash only as changes in temperature (high heat of a dishwasher) can result in expansion or contraction of the stainless steel & potential breaks in the seams. if seams become compromised water can enter between the walls of the mug. My understanding is the same can happen if you put the tumbler/mug in the fridge. I have done both in the past with no issues, until I read why one shouldn't.Apparently the more often you do it, the more likely the seam can break.

Very poor

Good quality but the black color can attract dust.

The hold is good, can use it while driving with a cup holder, doesnot feel warm when you hold. Forming a mate becomes easier because of the hollowed shape. But i think this is too expensive at around 5k. But yes it is strong rigid and also contains good volume. Suggested for people who drink yerba whole day.
