Product Information

These travel mugs are definitely geared more towards the aesthetics than practicality so I keep this one on my desk at work.

There's also an app which you can sync up to the coffee cup, with temperature and brew timers for green tea, coffee and more, plus recipes and a caffeine intake tracker. As an espresso drinker, there’s not much point in getting one of these, as my coffee tends to disappear within two sips and fits perfectly in a much smaller and lighter cup. Whilst Chilly's Coffee Cups are made of high-grade stainless steel which preserves the flavour and freshness of your drinks, if they are not cleaned regularly it can lead to a smell or taste developing. It suggests you care about the planet (cool), shows that you know your brews/beans/blends (also cool) and – if you choose the right one – elevates any office get-up. The Original has a ridged bottom which is noisy and wobbles if a table is knocked, whereas the Series 2 has a flat silicone base which grips any surface and is quiet to set down.While I can see why people love this bottle - I definitely drank more water while testing it - I can’t see myself lugging it around daily.

The coffee cup doesn't leak for me and keeps my drinks hot for about 2 1\/2 to 3 hours with the hole open. For the best results, Chilly's recommend first filling it with hot water to heat the inside, then emptying it out before filling your cup with a hot drink.While a tad gimmicky (it isn’t that hard to find the hole through which to drink on regular lids), it does make it more similar to a normal mug. All you need to do is select a different colour for the body, head and lid to create your own unique colour combination. It’s light and just the right size – large enough for a long coffee; small enough to fit in your car’s cup holder. Though it’s not dishwasher safe, all you need to do is separate the cap and collar from the bottle and get in there with some warm water and soap (or baking soda if you need to be more thorough).

I like the trigger action lid: liquid only comes out if it’s pressed, rendering it completely leak-proof. As a society, I think we should seek to find alternative solutions to plastics, as even with recycling we see issues of ocean microplastics. Given that Britons drink almost 100 million cups of coffee per day (according to a survey by the British Coffee Association), that’s an awful lot of waste.Plastic uses oil and water in the production and releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, but can be more environmentally friendly if it is recycled. In the brand’s first collaboration with Liberty, intelligent design and iconic British heritage reign, resulting in a limited-edition collection of Series 2 bottles and cups wrapped in hand-picked prints from the Liberty archive. Thankfully, Chilly’s cups are different because they are made from a durable, high-grade 304 stainless steel.
