Tips On Getting a Travel Mug

When you go away on a trip it does not mean going away without coffee. It is almost a sin to go on without having coffee in a day. This must be why travel coffee mugs were invented so that coffee lovers can still enjoy their coffee even when on the road. There are on the go paper cups that hold coffee but these do not keep the coffee hot for a long time. Travel mugs, on the other hand, can keep the coffee hot even when not drunk for a longer time.

Here are some tips you can follow when choosing a travel mug:

A double-wall insulation stainless steel mug can keep your coffee hot for a longer time. Although a stainless steel mug costs more than its plastic counterpart it is more durable thus giving you a better value for your money. A stainless steel mug is also sturdier and would not break easily when accidentally dropped. One disadvantage of plastic is that it absorbs the taste of coffee so it will not taste as good as it should.

The second consideration when getting a travel mug is its dimension. If your car has a cup holder then get one that will fit in it. If you are traveling and your transportation does not have a cup holder, get a travel mug that has a wide bottom with a non-slip rubber to prevent it from falling over.

Another thing that should be considered is the lid. On your travel you will encounter bumps and humps so your mug should have a lid that will keep your drink from spilling. There are two types of lid that you can choose from, a snap on lid and a screw lid. It is advisable that you get one that has a screw lid because a snap on lid sometimes comes off when dropped.

The last thing to consider is the size of the mug. You can get a smaller mug if you don’t drink that much coffee or a bigger one if you consume a large amount of coffee. Smaller mugs can hold 8 ounce of coffee and a bigger mug can hold 16 ounce of coffee. There is also a 20 ounce mug if you need more doses of coffee.

These tips can help you choose the right mug for you. Take time to shop around so you can find one that best suits your need.
