A Game-Changing Insulated Mug for On-the-Go Tea or Soup
I'm not exactly a thermos expert, but I needed a small thermos with a cup that was easy to use. I was tired of carrying a separate cup with me, like I had to do with the ones from Aquamineral, which had lids that were either too small or too flimsy.
I ordered this one online, not knowing what to expect. If it didn't turn out to be what I was looking for, I'd take it back to the store and keep looking.
The price was around 1300 rubles, which was a bit steep for me. In August last year, it was selling for a thousand rubles, so I felt like I was paying a premium.
As soon as I picked it up, I knew I loved it. It's not the biggest, but it's made really well and feels solid in my hands.
I'd seen a lot of other thermoses in stores that were either super cheap or just plain silly. Some of them had bright colors and funny designs, but I'm not sure if you could use them to eat soup or drink hot tea.
The thermoses I have at home have cups, but they're more like smooth, slippery cups that you need to hold with both hands. I already have trouble holding things with my hands, and when I'm wearing gloves, it's even harder.
So, what made me love this thermos? It's just a thermos with a cup - exactly what I was looking for. Not too flashy, not too weird, just a simple, functional thermos.
The idea was to be able to carry my coffee or tea with me in this thermos and just pour myself a cup when I need it. No more worrying about burning my tongue or spilling it all over the place.
I love that the mug is a complete package - it's got a comfortable handle that's easy to grip and a lid that fits snugly on top.
I was on a kid's camping trip once, and my shoulders still remember the 4 backpacks I had to lug around. The thermos didn't even fit in there, funny enough.
Size-wise, it's not too big or too small. The height (without lid) is 13 cm, the width is 11.4 cm, and the opening diameter is 7.1 cm. It's not narrow, so a spoon fits in easily.
The thermos has a small capacity of 520 ml, which is perfect for a quick cup of coffee or tea. It's chubby, compact, and completely airtight. Double-walled, made from food-grade stainless steel, it keeps the heat in. In cold weather, it was a lifesaver - but, considering how quickly my daughter downs her tea, I thought it'd be great to have two of these thermoses.
When it's in your bag, you don't have to worry about it tipping over - it's securely fixed. It doesn't leak.
The lid transforms into a 200-ml cup, which is perfect for a quick snack. It's got a rounded handle with no sharp edges, and a thick plastic rim. Fill it up with tea, and you'll feel like you're sipping it at home, even outdoors.
The screw-on lid has a built-in spoon, which is a nice touch. It's deep enough to scoop up something and take a bite. The spoon compartment locks in place.
I have to admit, I've struggled to remember how to fold and unfold this spoon. It's just one of those things that's always a bit of a puzzle.
On the bright side, I've never had to give up on it completely - we've always managed to figure it out in the end. That's a relief, to be honest.
Packaging-wise, the thermos arrives in a nice cardboard box that matches the design on the thermos itself. They even included a few tea bags inside - a nice touch, but we haven't used them in ages. I've been brewing my own tea ever since.
Now, onto the downsides. To be honest, I haven't used it for soups yet - we haven't had any soup-based outings where it would've been useful. It's not something I'd take to work or school, either. My daughter really wants to use it for hot chocolate, but it's just too bulky.
So, it's mostly used for her art sessions. I fill it with green tea and add some mint leaves - she just loves it. The only downside is that it leaves brown stains after just one use.
It's not a huge issue, though - it's just a natural consequence of using real tea. I've seen it happen with my own tea cups at home. A quick wipe with a cloth and it's good as new.
By the way, these photos are all taken after 10 months of use, and it still looks like new to me. I'm glad I chose this thermos.
Pros:
Easy to use
Comfortable handle
Lid fits snugly on top
Securely fixed in bag
No leaks
Built-in spoon
Deep enough to scoop up something
Locks in place
Nice packaging
Durable
Cons:
Leaves brown stains after use
Not suitable for soups
Too bulky for hot chocolate
I'd definitely recommend this thermos to anyone who's looking for a simple, functional thermos with a cup. It's perfect for on-the-go tea or soup, and the built-in spoon is a nice touch. Just be aware of the brown stains after use, and don't expect it to be suitable for soups or hot chocolate.
