- How to choose a thermo mug
Thermal mugs, also known as reusable coffee mugs, have become increasingly popular in recent times as we become more aware of the environmental impact of disposable options. Some coffee shops even offer a discount on their drinks if you offer your own cup instead of taking a standard cardboard cup.
While a good thermal mug can cost the equivalent of a week’s worth of daily morning coffee, you’ll start making your money back over time knowing you’re doing everything you can to reduce your environmental footprint. And this is not to mention the savings if you make coffee at home and take it with you. We’ve rounded up ten of the best thermal mugs to buy in 2022.

1. Contigo West Loop (average price 2610 rubles)
The sleek shape and lustrous finish of this coffee mug is mesmerizing, but when it comes to use, it all comes down to practice – and it’s actually pretty good. The auto-seal technology securely locks the cup when you’re not using the push of a button, and when you press the button to drink, it ensures your drink doesn’t go anywhere if you don’t want to. The big advantage is its insulation: hot drinks stay hot for 4 hours. A great all-rounder that will last a long time and looks pretty good.

How to choose a thermo mug
In compiling this collection, we turned to Evgenia Filkova, brand manager of a large dairy companyand an avid coffee lover. She gave us some important tips for choosing the best thermal mug.
Durability and reliability of the lid The key points here are the strength and the lockable lid, unless you want to find mysterious puddles of coffee at the bottom of your bag or, even worse, your laptop keyboard soaked. What is forgivable for a disposable paper cup is not allowed for a coffee mug. It must be strong and have a reliable locking mechanism.
Material of manufacture
Stainless steel is a popular option for an insulated coffee mug, as it saves you the hassle of washing it every day, and stainless steel is more durable and strong than plastic.
Thermal insulation
Next are the thermal qualities of the mug. A cheaper option, designed to keep your morning coffee hot for an hour, is ideal for commuting as you can refresh your drink when you get to the office. But if you plan to have a hot drink for a long period, you should consider a thermos, as they keep their contents hot or cold for hours on end.
Design and size
You should also consider the design and size of your coffee mug. Yes, aesthetics shouldn’t matter much, but when you use something every day, you probably want it to look good and also be easy to store in your bag. Thermal mugs come in a variety of colors, helping you stand out from the crowd or fit in with the crowd, whichever you prefer.
