PureDesign 300ml Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Mug

I spend a long time at my desk and usually keep a bottle of water and a mug of coffee to hand. I prefer to sip my coffee over time rather than guzzling it down all at once and often the coffee cools down before I get around to drinking it. I wanted some sort of mug to keep my coffee hot for much of the day if necessary but I did not want a big flask but rather something smaller and more stylish.

Priced at £17.90 this stainless steel insulated mug is by no means inexpensive but it ticks all the boxes for me. It is not too big and has a small footprint on the desk. It is quite squat and not too easy to spill or tip over and in even if I did it has very secure sealed BPA free plastic lid. There is a drinking port on the lid with a grommet protected clip that locks with a satisfying and reassuring click. The stainless steel body stays cool except near the lid where it warms up slightly but never gets hot. In general build quality and appearance is first rate.

Using it is as easy as you would expect it to be. You can treat it exactly as a normal coffee mug and drink from the open top but it will still keep the contents warm for far longer than with a normal mug. With the lid, you can drink through the access port but this can be a little tricky as the locking flap can get in the way and get hot coffee on your nose, so take care. The lid is a very tight fit, as it needs to be to keep the contents spill free but getting it off when full of hot coffee is a task that needs to be undertaken with care.

If you want a well made and stylish mug that will keep your coffee warm for hours then this might be the mug for you.
