Rondell Thermal Mug Review

Thermomug - very convenient and useful accessory. It is so pleasant to drink chilled tea in the summer heat or to warm up in the winter cold with a mug of hot aromatic coffee. This article will focus on the Rondell thermomugs.
Purpose and Functions
A thermomug is a “little sister” of a thermos. It is intended for short-term (within a few hours) storage and drinking of various beverages, both chilled and hot. The first thermomugs were mugs with a spout and a lid. This design did not ensure the tightness of the vessel. Modern models are designed in such a way that the lid fits snugly to the case.
Drinking hole in it is often supplied the additional locking mechanism blocking casual opening. This design provides additional security when carried in a bag or backpack, among other things.
The ergonomic design of thermo cups provides comfort when held in hand. The absence of a pen is a definite plus in situations where your attention is focused on important matters, for example, when driving a car.

How to choose?
When choosing a thermocup, three criteria are considered to be the main ones.
- Scope of use. All the above models of Rondell thermo cups are designed for use at home or in the office. For hiking it is better to choose an accessory from another manufacturer.
- Duration of preservation of the initial temperature of the drink. The minimum time is 1 hour. Rondell mugs provide at least one and a half hour thermostability of the liquid.
- Thermal conductivity of the outer coating. If it is important for you that the walls of the thermal mug do not overheat, choose models with a double hull - this design prevents the transfer of heat from the liquid to the hull.
