What to Look for in a Travel Mug
Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are usually favorite beverages. While you are on the go, each of these demands a method of transportation. What should you look for in a travel mug? Exactly how do you pick the best travel mug?
Below are four characteristics to think about when looking for a travel mug:
Insulation Qualities
Generally speaking, metals keep constant temperatures longer as compared to plastic, and double-walled mugs will too. Plastics can in addition keep odors and stains, which can be less likely using metal mugs.
Size
The majority of travel mugs hold 16 ounces and up, big enough for most requirements. Nonetheless, if you are preparing to take the mug in the automobile, make certain the bottom is compact enough to fit inside your cup holder. Old cars tend to have smaller cup holders, and mugs using a large bottom won’t fit.
The Cover
Does the lid close? Less expensive mugs possess an opening for drinking and are not spill-proof. How spill-proof is it? The best travel mugs have some type of locking mechanism, complete with a seal, to keep from being bumped over and safeguard from car bumps. Will it demand too much work to open up? Many thermoses, for instance, demand that you unscrew the cover to drink, which is certainly not safe when driving.
Design
Do you prefer the appearance of sleek stainless steel? Can a far more practical mug do? Besides looks, take into account whether or not you would prefer a handle, but be aware that two mugs with handles may not fit side-by-side inside a automobile’s cup holder.
Here are several suggested mugs:
Zak City Perk Belly Mug
That is a fourteen ounce mug, and sells for $9. The wide base is stable, keeps drinks hot, and has a very good lid, but isn’t useful for cold drinks.
Planetary Designs Tumbler Mug
This is a 16 ounce mug, and it sells for $18. It maintains hot and cold drinks at their particular temperature and is readily available in a variety of colors. The lid is looser as compared to others.
Thermos Raya Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler
At sixteen ounces, it will hold a lot, and sells for only $18. It contains beneficial rubber grips on the sides for very good insulation. It’s taller and the thin style can be tipped much more easily.
Contigo AutoSeal Stainless Steel Travel Mug
This is another 16 ounce mug, which is sold for $19.99. It provides good insulation and a leak-proof cover. Nonetheless, the lid is difficult to thoroughly clean.
And so, which is the ideal travel mug?
The slick Contigo AutoSeal Stainless Steel Travel Mug will hold hot drinks warm for several hours and cold ones even longer. It includes a no-spill top and lives up to its AutoSeal name, resealing right after you have taken a sip. The only disadvantage is that you need to hold the release button while drinking, which is not much of a problem with today’s multitaskers.
