Thank you for reminding me I still haven’t bought a new water bottle after I lost my last one!
Haha, sucks for you; I don’t have that problem. My tea stays warm!
spoiler
(It started off with ice in it.)
I keep 3-4 cups at work…
One short stout thermal mug that won’t tip over when I forget where it is and hit it.
1-2 narrower thermal mugs (in case I forget one at home) that will fit in my car cup holders to transfer any tea I forgot to finish at the end of the day. Or just for a fresh road cup.
One ceramic mug to reheat in the microwave any that I left too long in the steeper or with the lid off the thermal mug.
I’m tempted to buy one of those battery heated coffee mugs, but they all use an app and seem terrible for the environment.
You can use a plug-in candle warmer to fairly good effect, as long as you start with hot liquid.
There’s a $40 one sold at Walmart, Ion brand, no app at all, plugs in the wall, not USB.
It worked well… for about a year. The metal contacts on the bottom corroded, and the battery duration dropped. I’m using a four-dollar candle warmer now, it’s the better choice.
This one:
Put it in a Yeti, problem solved. Those cupwarmers are neat tho
Yeah, I typically hate brand name stuff, but 100% of my knockoff tumblers and bottles have had their vacuum fail in under a year while my free yeti has been going strong for 5 years.
I actually have to add cold water or ice to be able to drinking it within 2 hours.
Oh man I have two of those and the other day I took a sip of chunky coffee because it was the week old one that I forgot about.
If you have any sugar in your drink (including: milk, fruit tea) you need to rinse it out daily or you will get a rotten stank/flavor that doesn’t seem to wash out.
To get rid of it, you just need to remove any seals and soak everything in warm water with a little denture cleaner or oxi-clean. I usually just put the gaskets inside the cup with a little cleaner, set the lid on, and fill it until it just starts to overflow. This will also remove any tea/coffee stains and you can use those to gauge whether it has soaked long enough.
Yeah I don’t try to leave it full I just forget about it sometimes.
Oh I get it. My Darling will find cups or even full meals in the microwave that I left there days ago.
lol that’s the worst
I hope your immune system got stronger from the workout (and that you didn’t get sick)
I recently started using my travel mug even when at home. Keeps it warm enough to drink for several hours and has a lid for when i inevitably knock it over.
I tried this with tea, as a regular coffee drinker, and immediately burned my mouth off. It doesn’t cool down the same speed as my coffee in the same mug, because there’s no milk added to pre-cool it.
If I try it again it would have to be cooled with ice, and I probably will because I don’t like cold tea much, but if I wait for it to cool on its own I’m likely to overshoot and end up with cold tea.
I bought an Ember Mug and despite it being pretty pricey I haven’t regretted it one bit.
My partner and I got one each. She stopped using hers so now I have one on charge all the time.
Also! If your charging base contact pins get sticky and corroded, a spray of WD-40 and some light poking fixes them right up, and seems to delay further issues.
Preemptive dielectric grease could be a good option for the pins
I’m so tempted by these things.
I drink a lot of cold coffee because I forget I have coffee.
I get that they aren’t cheap but the quality of life for me was so worth it.
