My work gifted me a plastic coffee mug, which I’ve been using on and off for my tea. The lid cracked yesterday and it sputtered nice warm tea on my shirt.
Replaced it with a thermos. Stainless steel, keeps the tea hot and my hands cool. It’s a bit pricey, but I think it’ll last a while.
I bought a thermos mug cheap from TK Max years ago, and I’ve made coffee at 6am and been able to drink it warm at 3pm. It’s amazing. I.have to remember to let it cool before I stick the lid on because otherwise the coffee stays too hot sometimes.
As an added bonus it also fits in my bikes bottle cage so I can have hot coffee on rides as well.
I love my thermos.
