Cups & Mugs
On the road, a cup has a different job than at home: it should not shatter when it slips out of your hand in the motorhome, stand steady on a folding table and clean up without much water. Here you will find tumblers with straws and unbreakable stainless steel coffee mugs for camping, travel and everyday use.
Why stainless steel
Stainless steel is taste-neutral, does not take on odours and will not break – unlike china or glass. The material barely ages, does not discolour and cleans off completely. A stainless steel cup must not go in the microwave, however. Whether the outside is dishwasher safe depends on the coating on printed or powder-coated models and is stated in the product details.
Tumblers with straws
A cup with a straw noticeably reduces spills, because it does not have to be tipped to drink from – a clear advantage while travelling and on uneven ground. Lid and straw are usually plastic with a silicone seal. Check whether the straw can be removed for cleaning and whether replacement straws are available; that often determines how long the cup lasts.
Unbreakable coffee mugs
Stainless steel coffee mugs save weight and storage space and stack on some models. Pay attention to the wall construction: single-walled mugs conduct heat outwards and get hot quickly with hot drinks, while double-walled models keep coffee warm for longer and stay comfortable to hold. Which type you are looking at is stated in the product details.
