HOW TO CHOOSE THERMO MUPS - which one keeps the heat better

*** PRODUCTS BLOCK (Steel Thermal Mugs) *** Choosing a good thermal mug means successfully solving two questions. One of them is the tightness of the drinker cover. Since no one will let you test it before purchasing, rate it according to the following criteria.

  • Drinker with a folding system and a clutch at the edge of the bowl, you can open it with one finger. The drink does not spill, even if you do it with your hand trembling from the cold. But a mug with a "latch" is unreliable to carry in a bag: you can pick up the latch with something, the drink will spill, and you will not even notice it.
  • The twist lid is more reliable. Open if you scroll. The silicone seal protects against leaks. You can safely put the thermal cup on the car seat or in your bag. The only inconvenience is that you can't handle it with one hand -)).
  • In terms of practicality, drinkers with a lock are of the best. In whatever position the thermo mug is, not a drop will spill from it.
  • Do not rely on the tightness of the lid, which is closed by a protective panel and moves aside if necessary. It is better to drink tea / coffee with such a mug in the office, but not on the go.

Which thermo mug keeps warm better?

Do not expect miracles: a thermo mug is not a thermos. It keeps the drink warm up to a maximum of two hours. Thanks to the rubberized inserts on the body, the cup will not slip out of your hands, even if they are wearing mittens.

To choose a thermo mug for a car, measure the diameter of the cup holder in the cabin. The mug should sit tightly in it so as not to dangle during acceleration. At the same time, there is no need to achieve a "tight" entry: it will be difficult to remove the mug with one hand and it will lose heat faster due to the direct contact of the walls.
