Coffee Travel Mug

So you are a coffee person. Well there’s nothing wrong with that, considering maybe half the planet is just like you, unable to function properly without coffee in your system. At home or at work getting your hands on the beverage and sipping it down with no worries is well, no worries. But take to the road and enjoying your perfect cup of brew could suddenly become the nightmare it was so not meant to be. This is why you should invest in a coffee travel mug. But before you run along and buy the first coffee travel mug you see, it might be best that you consider some key aspects to do with this kind of a purchase.

Coffee travel mugs are not uniformly similar to each other. By that we do not mean colour or shape, but what we mean is the functionality of them. Go hunting for these and you’ll realize that they are being advertised as insulated, made of stainless steel, are leak proof and spill proof. Now some of these features might even come combined in some brands. The decision on what type of coffee travel mug you are going to invest in may quite well depend on where you are going to use it, how much you drink, how far your travels are going to take you and how youd like to have your brew. The longer the distance, the more quantity youd need to carry, the lesser the distance the lesser the quantity. Of course we are basing this theory on the average coffee addict, in which case you have a choice of sizes to choose from. Standard sizes for coffee travel mug types are 12, 14, 16 and 20 ounces. You may even find versions that let you carry 24 ounces but they are somewhat rare to find.

Now of course a coffee travel mug will have a lid that can keep the contents firmly where they are supposed to stay, but what you could look at is how you travel. If you travel regularly in the same car, you could get a size that fits the cup holder. But if you are unsure what you might be riding in, it is safe to get a general size, since it’s more likely to fit most cup holders. While certain coffee travel mugs are made for just carrying the beverage around, others like the insulated ones are meant for keeping them warm or piping hot. Therefore, read the fine print and be sure of how long the utensil you are buying will keep things warm for you. And because you will be carrying sweetened or creamy versions of your favorite brew, make sure the design is simple with no hidden nooks or crevices so that cleaning is easy and complete.
