Other Uses For Travel Mugs
Travel mugs made their appearance into popular culture in the 1980s, and primarily contains thermal insulation components for carrying either hot or cold beverages. Insulated mugs are akin to vacuum flasks, and are commonly very well insulated and virtually sealed to avert any forms of spillage. A typical travel mug would come with a lid that is easily maneuvered, permitting what’s inside to be taken in the midst or traveling.
A travel mug’s design usually targets thermal insulation; the dense walls of a travel mug as opposed to the slimmer one of tea and coffee cups, protect the liquids from getting too cold or warming swiftly. The travel mug is normally not leveled; instead it is shaped concavely and is built with an additional rim, so that thermal contact can be minimized when it is placed on a surface. Insulated mugs were built to be resilient and are made from materials such as stainless steel to strengthen the insulation process.
One of the most trendy and convenient ways to store insulated mugs and other mugs is via a pole made of either wood or metal, of which the mugs are hung by their respective handles. This contraption is known as a mug tree. There are also specially-built racks for hanging mugs so that they are ready to be given out. This type of rack is normally seen in ships and other water vessels.
With the influx of coffee chain stores such as Coffee Bean, Austin Chase and Starbucks, more and more insulated mugs are being banished to the far corners of kitchen cabinets instead of the cup holders in cars. Insulated mugs, as the name suggests, are primarily used for travel, but who is to say that new ways cannot be invented for its use? Take out those unused insulated mugs and let’s see what we can do with them.
For starters, you can use your travel mug to protect your computer or lap top from spillage incidents. Your beverages, be it cold or hot can be placed inside travel mugs instead of ordinary open-faced ones. When you are using electronics, spillage can not only cause accidents, but harm you as well. Even if there is a spill, it would not be as much as when using an ordinary mug.
To keep beverages hot longer, use insulated mugs even when you are in the house. Your drink will stay hot till the final sip, unlike traditional mugs. Plus, it will save you reoeated trips to the kitchen to microwave your beverage.
Use travel mugs when you are working outdoors, be it when you are rendering repairs or pottering around your garden. A travel mug is enclosed, so you will not be bothered by unwanted visits by bugs or flies. It is terrible to see little animals floating around in your drink.
Insulated mugs can also protect your carpets and furniture. Some people like to bring their drinks around the house as they clean, and accidents do occur. With travel mugs used instead, this can be avoided. A stain free house is a happy house indeed.
