Jaunted

Now we usually try not to devote entire posts to mere travel mugs, the obvious exception being anything in SkyMall because of the guaranteed entertainment value. Most of the gimmicky travel gear that lands in our inbox falls somewhere in between "useless" and "gives you cancer." But the Brugo travel mug seems to be that rarest of all things: a piece of travel gear that solves an actual problem that people actually have without making them look like tools.. Travel pillow designers take note.

Like any good travel mug, the bulk of the cup is an insulated chamber where hot stays hot and cold stays cold. The trick here is that they built a hollow space just below the rim - a "temperature control chamber" - where a little bit of coffee goes when you tilt back the mug on the "tip and cool" setting. The coffee in there is cools for a little bit while the rest of the liquid stays hot in the mug. Eventually everything cools and you can go straight to sipping. But in between you can avoid burning your tongue while still getting coffee.

Even more importantly, you can avoid looking silly trying not to burn your tongue. Priorities.
