Travel Mugs

[oj88]

I drink coffee while driving to work every morning. However, my 5+ y/o Thermos travel mug is starting to break at the seams and is begging for a replacement. Funny thing is that I've never actually been in the market for travel mugs since I only got this as a Christmas gift.

Anyway, ridiculous to ask but, where can I find a good selection of travel mugs that are of good quality? Are those from Starbucks worth the money? I have this perception that they're overpriced (but then again, what do I know?).

I'd like something that would fit the standard cup holders.

I think ung Seatles best or Starbucks okay naman ang mugs nila. If you want cheap replica sa 168 meron din.

amoy plastic siya, di nawawala amoy. my officemate bought one before, used only once. she's not using it now due to strong smell/odor of plastic (?) if you know what i mean

I've had my Thermos bottle for over 13 yrs now. It still looks decent but has a few dents already. I bought it for about P1.2k in 2000. It was very well worth the money. It keeps water cold for more than 24 hrs.

This is what I want to buy next:



KOR Water

USD30

ako naman 1liter nalgene ang gamit ko. yung glow in the dark at bpa free na. parati ko dala. nung una oc pa ako alagang alaga. eh nung nagro-row pa ako nagasgasan ng todo sa bangka. ayun biglang accept the battle scars na lang hehe. marami na kameng napuntahan nitong nalgene ko na mga bundok at iba ibang lugar. ngayon gamit ko pa rin sya. mga 3 years na ata sya sa akin.

pwede rin pala sya lagyan kahit boiling water or mainit na kape. for your needs

I'd like to humbly reiterate that I'm only interested in travel mugs (those which are typically insulated), and not water bottles and such. As I've mentioned, I'm a coffee-drinker. I seldom drink cold drinks in the car but if I ever wanted one, I buy a bottle of Gatorade from a convenience store. Thanks!

So, besides Starbucks and SBC, are there any department stores that carry some good choices from Thermos and the likes of it?

^Just buy Thermos again. I got mine from Landmark.

A bit OT, but related:

For equipment that is designed to handle, store, and contain food, please always buy "branded" like i.e Thermos, Lock & Lock, etc. Buying cheap plastic food containers, specifically the ones manufactured in China pose a variety of health risks. Raw material used in the manufacture of plastic food containers for most branded equipment are of the food grade quality. Meaning that these materials were already tested and conforms to certain ISO standards when it is used as such.

Generic food containers meanwhile do not pass ISO testing, hence are susceptible in containing harmful chemical vapors, as evidenced by the plasticy smell when food stored inside is hot, or deformation. There is also a great risk that the materials contain hazardous materials that may contaminate stored food.

For hot liquids such as coffee, a branded mug or insulated flask should be used. Never risk your health, and that of your family's by using cheap, generic food containers.

My 2 cents.

Ilang araw ko na nakikita ito and wondering kung just another one of them threads na naman kaya? Well, just opened it now and turns out one of my interest din pala ito.


I once had a vacuum flask just like above pero tatak National yata or was it Panasonic (can't remember)? It was some kind of a Christmas giveaway to my sis-in-law na na-arbor ko naman. I really liked it kasi nga it keeps either cold water cold, or hot beverage hot for like almost a day. Thing is, nawala ko siya so it started my hunt for a replacement.

So nakabili ako ng hawig sa nawala kong flask I think sa SM dept. store. Kaso, ayun nga... di ko rin natagalang gamitin kasi me aftertaste. Not really plastic.. but more like rubber. Kahit anong hugas ang gawin ko di nawawala yung amoy at aftertaste. Nakabili pa ako ng two more pa yata pero ganundin kaya tinigilan ko na. Still on the lookout though. I was looking din lang kasi yung tipong affordable naman kasi mamaya mawala rin lang ulit.

Malamang made in china kaya ganyang may mga after taste yung material na ginamit.
May mga travel flask na made in japan, mas mahal nga lang 2x the price of the one made in china.

For my travel mug, I use the disposable mug of starbucks, para pagka ubos, pwedeng itapon. Naging problema ko sa mga stainless travel mug (starbucks, bo's etc) , hustle sa linisan lalo na kung on the road ka.

huwag kayo bili nung mga chipipay tulad ng sa 168. baka toxic yung mga yun.

My 13 year old Thermos vacuum flask which I got at Landmark in Makati. It keeps the temperature for at least 24 hrs. I never really found out if it keeps the temp longer than that time period since the content gets replaced na.



I really recommend Thermos. It's EXTREMELY durable. There is no plastic aftertaste at all because the inside is metal.

Something different

"ECU can"

Not also a fan of flasks. You typically need both hands to work on them. Not quite 'driver-friendly'.

The ECU Can looks interesting. Smooth exterior so it's guaranteed to fit right into the cup holders. Might check it out. Thanks!

By the way, to drink from the ECU Can, you just have to open the flip-up opening on the top of the can, just like a softdrink can. I have a big ECU can and it does fit in car drink-holders and you have use it with just one hand. Made from bio-degradable plastic so it's a "green" product.
