Thermo cup test: this is how you find your perfect cup – camping bus comparison


Thermo Mug Test: How to find your perfect mug

My thermo cup for all cases

Started late in the morning for the mother-in-law’s birthday party, of course because of the children;)! I can do without much in the morning, but not on the coffee. When traveling on vacation due to predicted traffic jams at night or early in the morning, it will not work without my thermo mug.

The thermo cups ensure that your favorite drinks hold the temperature as long as possible, whether warm or cold. This makes it our constant companion not only in winter but also in summer. This is achieved by a double-walled construction of the cups. The best-known brands of thermo cups are Emsa, Alfi, Contigo, Bodum and Thermos.

But why do I even deal with the subject thermos mug? That’s easy, because my original 0-8-15 cup does not fit in the new holder of the VW T6. The bracket on the T5 was more flexible here, as one side had a flexible arm with spring. As a result, smaller and larger thermo cups could be used without any problems.

How did we test the insulated cups?

Everyone in the circle of friends brought along their favorite cup and briefly described why they bought exactly this and no one else.

We then sent the best thermo cups into the test and poured boiling water into the thermo cups. Recorded at hourly time intervals from 1h to 8h the course and recorded as an evaluation criterion.

How dense are the thermo cups, was also a point. In the tests we noticed that actually all screw caps did not really keep tight.

The areas of application are, as always, diverse and range from everyday life to camping. For example, large handles are not an option for many car cup holders.

For the materials, we have deliberately left out glass and ceramics as they are not really suitable for camping.
