~ CLOSED ~ Brugo Mug - Review & Giveaway



I drink my coffee black and I cannot count how many times I've burned my mouth on hot coffee.  It usually happens something like this:


(Scene I)  It's early morning, travel mug in hand,  I get into the car and head off to my local drive thru for some much needed caffeine. 
(Scene II) I have my coffee all ready to go and nestled in the cup holder,  I'm heading out for some "retail therapy",  I'm a happy camper! 
(Scene III) I grab my mug for a sip of java and BAM...close to boiling point coffee immediately burns my lips and tongue, I drop the mug to grab my mouth, there's now coffee dripping down the front of my coat and spilling on the floor of the car.  Meanwhile, I'm still trying to navigate highway traffic.  


I have actually had this happen to me.  Not a good image, in fact it's very dangerous!


I recently had the opportunity to try out the Brugo mug, I had previously heard about the temperature control chamber and was excited to try it out for myself.




Brugo is the only travel mug in the world that allows you to drink hot tea or coffee immediately. This works because you are separating "the sip" from the main chamber.  
The "tip and cool" setting is designed to work best when the mug is completely full. Once the mug is 3⁄4 or less full, use the "sip" setting. By this time the coffee in the main chamber should have reached a palatable temperature.


Some other features include:
  • Double-wall insulation
  • 3-position drink mode selector - "Lock, Sip, Tip & Cool" - allowing you perfect taste and temperature control whether you need a bolt of caffeine or prefer to linger over your coffee ritual.
  • 16oz / 450ml capacity cup size - a large cup
  • Non-slip bottom keeping your coffee where you put it
  • Ergonomic grip for maximum comfort
  • 13 stylish colors
  • Stainless Steel and Chrome accents
  • Fits all cup holders
You can watch this quick video for some simple tips to help you get the most out of your Brugo mug -



The Brugo mug is designed to be spill proof. However,  I'll caution you, that as instructed, be sure you drain the cooling chamber of any liquid before you lock the mug closed or the liquid in that chamber will leak.  Also, like most travel mugs the Brugo mug is not dishwasher safe. 


With my Brugo mug in hand I can now enjoy my coffee without the worry of burning my mouth or worse!!  All I need to do is just tip the Brugo mug away from me so some coffee will go into the "temperature control chamber" and sip. 
Awhhh...there's nothing like that first sip of coffee!
