As much as I enjoy a good cup of coffee, slowly savored and methodically consumed in the quiet space of my familiar home, I also like having a cup of Joe to go! This morning's Sunday Coffee Cup fits the bill well. My son gave this one to me this past Christmas and he selected it based on all the 'must have' features for a mobile mug.
Here's my list of what you need to take your coffee mobile:
1. Stainless steel inside and out. I don't want BPA leeching into my coffee from a cheap plastic liner.
2. Vacuum insulated, double walled seal. Keeping that hot coffee hot is important when your out in the cold.
3. No drip, no spill lid. The lid needs to seal tight and secure enough to handle the occasional tilt, wobble and drop. Also, that lid needs to do the job getting the sacred essence into my mouth with out dripping on my chin or rolling down the side of the mug after a quick slurp.
4. It has to be of a size to easily fit in the car cup holder and not be so small it rattles or jostles on every turn and bump.
5. Finally, my mobile cup has to be easy to grab and drink without looking. Meaning the shape of the mug and conture of the lid need to tell me which way to tip and sip - by feel alone.
That's it, and yes, I know I've given way too much thought to the mobile cup requirements, but this is just one of the byproducts of traveling too many miles on caffeine and dreams...which is another story. Later! Time to roll.
I don't think so at all... I actually asked the Rooster for a new travel mug this Christmas as well. My criteria were summed up into "I want one that doesn't stink". Next year, I can hand him this handy list because you are spot on.
ReplyDeleteKristen - maybe we could market this and make millions... oh, never mind. it would take away time from enjoying the coffee.
