Choosing the right travel coffee mug for heat retention 

When it comes to travel mugs that hold heat best, the key factors to consider are the materials used, insulation technology, and the overall design. Here are some of our top selling travel mugs known for their excellent heat retention:

Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mugs: These mugs are designed with double-walled stainless steel construction and a vacuum-sealed space between the walls. The vacuum insulation minimises heat transfer, keeping hot beverages hot for several hours. The Avanti Go Cup and Corkcicle Tumbler have garnered worldwide praise as standout options in this category. The Avanti Go Cup offers a sleek, practical design for a reliable and leak-proof travel companion, while Corkcicle Tumbler impresses with triple-insulated stainless steel, keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks refreshing for hours.

Insulated Travel Tumblers with Screw-on Lids: Travel tumblers with screw-on lids create a tight seal, preventing heat from escaping. These mugs are often made of stainless steel or other insulating materials. The Oasis double-walled insulated travel mugs are great for maintaining the temperature of your favourite beverages.

Double-Wall Plastic Travel Mugs: Certain plastic travel mugs feature a double-wall design that helps trap heat and keeps hot beverages warm for an extended period. The Porta Outdoor travel mug is a great option to consider for anyone who loves to sip their favourite cool beverage outdoors.

Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mugs with Slider Lids: These mugs often have a slider lid mechanism that allows you to open and close the drinking spout. When closed, the slider lid provides an extra layer of insulation to maintain heat.

Ceramic-Coated Travel Mugs: Travel mugs with a ceramic coating on the interior provide excellent heat retention. The ceramic layer helps maintain the temperature of hot drinks and imparts no metallic taste, preserving the beverage's flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do travel mugs keep drinks hot?

Travel mugs can keep drinks hot for several hours, depending on their insulation technology and construction. High-quality travel mugs with vacuum-sealed double-walled stainless steel can maintain hot beverages' temperature for 4 to 6 hours or even longer, while premium models might last up to 12 hours or more. However, lower-quality travel mugs or those with single-wall construction may only retain heat for 1 to 2 hours.

How do I clean a travel mug?

While many of our travel mugs are top-rack dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing thoroughly with dish-soap and a sponge to ensure that you retain the seals and exterior designs as some dishwashing detergents can be quite abrasive and lead them to deteriorate. Ensure that you dismantle the coffee cup entirely including the lid to avoid any bacteria or mould growth and either hand dry or leave on a dish rack. Some of our customers find it handy to use a bottle brush or any suitable-sized dish brush.
