THE TRAVEL MUG GUIDE 2013 - What Travel Mug Should I Choose?
What Is The Best Travel Mug?
I have gone through stacks of travel mugs without ever finding one that does not leak! Just when I am ready to have my coffee, there is a pool of cold coffee on the lid and nowhere to empty it.
Some mugs are really difficult to drink from with the lid on, without spilling or getting your nose wet. Invariably I get so frustrated that I take the lid off.
Or if you want to have a coffee break a little later, you find it is barely warm. So you land up buying a fresh coffee anyway!
What about those freezing cold days when you desperately need some hot coffee?
These eco-friendly reusable travel mugs are a great alternative to paper and plastic cups.
Traditionally, a travel mug was used for carrying your beverage with you, but these days it has become a fashion statement too. The latest trendy travel mugs are colorful, stylish and practical.
You just have to find the one that fits your needs and style.

What To Look For In A Travel Mug
How To Choose A Travel Mug
In trying to decide what travel mug to buy, you need to decide what you will be using it for, where you will be using it mostly and how you will be carrying it. Having identified these, it will be easier to choose one that fits your needs.
Some of the features you may want are:
1. Convenience - a mug that is uncomplicated and easy to use on-the-go.
2. Temperature control - how long does it need to keep your beverage hot or cold?
3. Snug fitting lid that does not drip or leak.
4. A lid that is easy to sip from and provides a predictable and manageable flow - you do not want to be frustrated with getting very small sips only or having too much and spilling on your lap!
5. One that you can open single-handed, especially if you are driving.
6. Handle or no handle - this depends on where you want to use it. Check if it will fit your car cup holder. If you choose one without handles, make sure it is insulated and provides a good grip.
7. Easy to clean - mugs with narrow openings may not be easy to clean. Check if it is safe to use in the dishwasher.
