Finding the Perfect Pour: Sip on the Go With Ceramic-Lined Tumblers


If you’re a coffee lover, there’s a good chance your morning drink is sacred. You’ve no doubt spent time thinking about your coffee’s roast date, grind size, maybe even analyzing the perfect water temperature. You probably even have the perfect mug for the perfect at-home coffee. But what happens when you need to bring your morning coffee to-go?
One of the most overlooked variables in developing the perfect coffee is the mug itself. This one component of your morning coffee can overpower even the most expensive single-origin brew.
While there’s no one best way to sip on-the-go, we definitely have our favorites.
The Travel Mug Dilemma
Finding the perfect travel coffee mug is tricky. Traditional travel cups are made up of a combination of plastic and paper, which no one really wants leaching into their coffee every day. Plus, the lids pop off, they spill, and it’s way too easy to burn yourself.
Now there’s no rule against traveling with your favorite mug from home, however, you may face one of two problems (maybe even both) during your commute. First, navigating while driving with one hand because your favorite mug does not fit in the cupholders. Second, remember to bring it home when you inevitably leave it to dry after washing during the day.
Enter – the travel coffee mugs.
Ceramic vs. Stainless Steel
Choosing how you transport your coffee can feel like a trade-off between heat retention, mug durability, and flavor integrity.
Stainless Steel
Pros: For heat retention, stainless steel travel coffee mugs have been the tried and true method. With a variety of size, leakproof, and cup holder friendly options, they are durable, reliable, and easy to toss in the dishwasher after a long day. Plus, who doesn’t love a BPA-free option?
Some coffee enthusiasts notice a metallic taste when drinking coffee from a stainless steel tumbler, lovingly referred to as the metallic tax. Some also report having a tough time getting rid of pesky smells.
Some of our personal favorite stainless steel mugs include our Müv 15oz and Nav 25oz.
