One of the things that you will always find in any of our\nvehicles, is a travel mug.  We have\nlearned over the years to carry them with us wherever we go. We have tried and\ntested so many different shapes and sizes, makes and models, but we finally\nfound the one!<\/em> And we simply had to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being environmentally conscious, we are constantly aware of\nthe products used in the production of the travel mug and even though the now\nvery popular bamboo cups are better than the styrofoam cups, they too have some\nbad elements that keep them together such as formaldehyde and melamine, which\nends up in your hot drink after a couple of uses.  Therefore, we decided to make use of a\nsilicone cup.  We believe in it so much,\nthat we decided to stock it in our online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The silicone cup is a durable, foldable, BPA-free mug made\nfrom food-grade silicone.  We love this\ncup so much that we use it at home as well as on our trips in the wild.  Compared to other mugs that we have used\nbefore this cup can take extreme temperatures and keep its shape when the\nfluids inside is frozen.  The other perk\nis that it comes with a screw-on lid where the ceramic cup\u2019s lid only presses\ndown and the tin cup has no lid at all. \nThis mean that spillage in the vehicle is eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the designs on the ceramic cups are hip and cool, the\ndove-grey colour of the silicone cup is neutral and can fit into any colour\nscheme of current crockery.  Because of\nthe light colour, the cup shows dirt quite easily and the silicone does attract\na bit of dust, but it can be wiped off with a damp cloth and cleaned\neffortlessly.  Just like a normal tin cup\nor ceramic coffee mug, the silicone cup is dishwasher safe.  It can also withstand temperatures up to 190\ndegrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to packing space, we always look at the items\nthat will take up less space, so that we can fit in more.  That is just how we do things, because less\nis not always more, right?  We\u2019ve started\nusing the old tin cups, but they are always so noisy, especially on a dirt\nroad.  They were always packed with some bubble\nwrap, foam or a cloth wrapped around them. \nThis didn\u2019t change when we switched over to ceramic mug.   We even had more to worry about as they\ncould also break.  With the silicone cup\nthat is foldable, it takes up minimal space and can even clip onto the outside\nof your backpack when you hiking bag is full. \nNo excuse to leave that precious coffee mug behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tin cup used to burn my hands so much that I would get\nblisters while enjoying my morning coffee. \nWhile the ceramic cups have better insolation, some still retains the\nheat and you will soon find yourself looking for a place to put down your coffee\nwhile waiting for it to cool down.  The\nsilicone cup does have one disadvantage though, it comes in two parts.  One part is the foldable, durable silicone\ncup and the other is the plastic ring that wraps around the mug to prevent your\nhands from burning when holding the cup. \nThe design, however, has been thought through and the ring fits\nperfectly into the folded mug\u2019s bottom for storage.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-in-all, the silicone travel mug is an upgrade from the\nconventional cups (of which we have mentioned only two in this article) and with\nit being lead-free, glue-free, and BPA-free, it fit right into our lifestyle of\ngoing green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to get your hands on one of these, head on over to our online store<\/a> and place your order before your next hiking trip.\u00a0 Some places even offer a discount when you use your eco-cup.\u00a0 It just goes to show that it is indeed an everyday, lifestyle coffee cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
