[Wasch_24]

My wife saw these on Good Morning America today and ordered six for Christmas presents. Anyone have one?

Cool idea...I'll have to see what the guiney pigs have to say :dance:

:santa: I guess i will share my experiences here.eckkiss:

That looks pretty cool. Can you tell if the inside is stainless steel or plastic? Plastic mugs can affect the flavor of coffee IMO. Some are better than others though and since they are promoting coffee flavor I'm sure they're using quality materials.
I might have to give it a try.

She says they didn't mention it on the show Brian. I'll let you know in 5-7 days, lol.

I have a treadeau, great mug!

So you have to tip the thing back and then forward to drink it every time just so you can put off drinking it all at once? I guess I just like to sit down with my drink and drink it before it gets too cold.

 

[Wasch_24]

If you looh at the site it shows the lid and you can choose to drink like a normal mug or do the tipping thing. Apparently the inside chamber keeps the coffee fresh out of the pot hot and the tipping allows one drink to cool o the point that you wouldn't sue McDonalds over it. :hysterica

 

[caudio51]

Wow, thats pretty interesting.

Todd, are you keeping one to try out? I am always on the lookout for a good mug.

 

[Wasch_24]

Yep, the wife and I are giving ourselves one each.

 

[caudio51]

Nice, you'll have to let us know how they are.

 

[Wasch_24]

I guess I can bring myself to post about it here. :rofl:

I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say about them. I'm one of those people who can taste Stainless in their coffee, so if they are plastic and work pretty well without affecting the taste, I may just have to spring for a couple.......

 

[caudio51]

Dan, I have a stainless and notice that too....so I tend not to drink out of it. Shame to as the mug was about 30 bucks.

 

[cvm4]

Ditto for the stainless taste :barf:

 

[Wasch_24]

It will be hard to replace my current mug...I have had it for five years and it keeps coffee HOT for more than two hours. It's all beat up though and kinda not so round anymore. You know, from setting it on the roof of the car and forgetting. :hysterica

I've never noticed a taste from the metal though. :dunno:

 

[djs134]

Some people don't. I only realized recently that I do. My coffee had a sour taste, and since I was trying to evaluate my roasts, it was driving me nuts. I switched to a plastic one and the sour went away......

 

[stogies&hoagies]

I agree on the metallic taste of stainless. I was gifted a pair of very nice stainless mugs for the car. I used them like three times and couldn't handle the taste. I gave 'em to my brother in law. He thinks I'm the greatest for doing that. LOL

 

[Wasch_24]

Just an FYI guys...don't hold your breath waiting to hear about these from me.

The email confirmation syas it can take up to three weeks in the fine print. :bigeyes: :sadpace:

 

[caudio51]

I was thinking about these this morning when I was deciding if I wanted to take coffee for the drive.

Three weeks is a long time to send a product!
