There are many types of uses for an insulated coffee mug. Some people prefer to take an insulated mug with them in their vehicle, so that they can enjoy a cup of coffee on their way into work. Some people just want a mug that will keep their beverage warm while sitting at their desk, so that they can sip it throughout the day while they work. Owning an insulated coffee mug allows you to make coffee inexpensively at home and take it with you, which saves money as compared to buying coffee at work or at the store. Some people even prefer to have an insulated mug to use when they purchase coffee, as a better solution than using the store's Styrofoam cups.
Using an insulated coffee mug can be a great "green" method of drinking coffee, since it is a much more environmentally friendly type of cup as compared to Styrofoam. Styrofoam will definitely keep coffee warm, but it is also wasteful. Our landfills are full of disposable Styrofoam cups, and in fact, some cities and states have started to ban the use of Styrofoam. There have also been studies that suggest that the chemicals used to manufacture Styrofoam can cause health issues. These are all good reasons why you should switch to an insulated coffee mug. Insulated coffee mugs come in a wide variety of sizes and style.
Especially if you plan to use a mug while driving, you will want to make sure that it is a good fit for your vehicle's cup holder. The insulated coffee mug should fit snugly in the cup holder, and should not be so tall that it can tip over if the car stops abruptly. A spill-proof lid is also an important feature when using an insulated coffee mug while traveling. Lids that screw on instead of snap on are a good choice, since they are less likely to be knocked loose during travel. This can reduce the chances that your coffee will spill while you are driving.
You also want to make sure that any insulated coffee mug you choose is easy to clean. Try to find one with smooth interior surfaces and an easy to clean lid, especially if you tend to drink coffee with milk and sugar. These types of beverages can sometimes make cleaning your mug difficult, especially if there are lots of crevices and corners in the mug. This can especially be a problem if you choose a leak-proof mug. The non-leaking mechanism normally has internal channels that help keep the coffee from leaking, but these channels also make it difficult to clean.
