I received these 2 stainless steel mugs last week. The are from the same company as the water bottles that I loved so much(francois et mimi) so I was optimistic. As it turns out, I was right to be. First things first, did it keep my drink hot? Yes! I love a hot beverage, especially this time of year. Whether it’s tea or coffee, I’m game. I typically am not able to chug it down very quickly and end up sipping throughout the day so m drinks tend to get cold well before I’m ready to finish them. I poured some hot tea into this mug to see what it can do. I actually left it sit for a while to test it out and came back later while the kids were napping. I swear to you, 2 and 1/2 hours after I poured my tea it was still hot…not warm….HOT! And it stayed hot for quite some time afterwards. I was able to sip on my tea throughout the entire day and it never got cold. It definitely passes the heat test.
Due to the double walled, stainless steel design of the mug, while it kept the drink pretty hot, the outside of the cup stayed cool. If you are someone who likes to wrap your hands around the outside of your mug to keep them warm while you drink, then this probably wouldn’t be your best option. Personally, I go back and forth. If I’m sitting at home having a cup of coffee in the morning that I intend to finish within 30 minutes or so before m daughter gets up and the other kiddo arrive, I like a fat warm mug. And I have a few for that purpose. But for the most part, I want something that stays cool on the outside so the kids don’t burn themselves if they grab it and that keeps my drink hot in case I don’t get to it right away.
Another great feature of this mug is the lid. It’s easily screwed on and off with an o-ring around the rim that makes a great seal and it has a leak proof, flip-top stopper. And it really is leak proof. I tested this out by shaking it a few times and flipping it upside down(with a house full of children, you want something that won’t spill). Not a single drop spilled out. There was no leakage coming from the lid(or anywhere else for that matter) at all.
I also like the fact that the are stainless steel which means BPA free. This is a must for me, especially for hot drinks. A few other things to note, it fits perfectly in my cars cup holder, the handle is great and comfortable to hold onto, and it’s easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. It can be found on Amazon at the following(affiliate) link:
