Favorite Uninsulated Travel Mug? (lemmy.world)

I drink my coffee during my morning commute, usually 45-60 mins long. Nearly every travel mug I have is insulated so well that its still scalding hot an hour after I arrive, so I have been using a plastic travel mug instead. This work, it cools to a drinkable temperature after about 10 minutes, but I can taste the plastic. Something is leeching into my coffee and it gets astringent during the last half. Awful. I need something new. Most mugs advertise they keep it hot for 6 hours! I dont want to wait 6 hours to drink my damn coffee!! /rant

Anyone else have this problem and good suggestions? I'm all ears. Thanks!

Ok this interesting indeed. Have you tried this? It sounds like scifi

Yeah it works. It's the same concept as ice. It's just less convenient but it works well in insulated mug.

I have one and love it. The only downsides for me are the cost and the fact that the mug is somewhat heavy even when empty.
