Colder days have arrived, it's time to prepare for the winter period. We are already taking warmer jackets, hats, and scarves out of the closet, but is appropriate clothing enough to keep us warm after leaving the house on a frosty morning? What to do to enjoy skiing longer and admire mountain views on a beautiful but cold day? How to warm up outdoors in low temperatures? Returning home on a cold day, we usually brew warm tea immediately, which helps us warm up quickly, so taking it with us on the way to work or on a trip is an excellent idea. We advise what to pay attention to.
The material of construction is the primary factor we should pay attention to when choosing. It determines how durable the selected model will be and how long it will keep heat. Currently, we can choose from mugs made of plastic, glass, ceramic, or porcelain, but the most solid and most frequently chosen ones are made of stainless steel. Steel thermal mugs maintain the high temperature of the drink for a long time, are resistant to external damage, and most importantly, do not release any harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures.
A situation where our coffee or tea spills should not happen, and to prevent it, a leak-proof thermal mug should be equipped with a good, yet convenient-to-use lid with a seal. The most practical solution is an automatic Click-Clack type stopper used for easy opening and closing. This method allows you to quickly unlock the thermal mug, even with gloves on, and enjoy a warm drink in any situation, preventing it from spilling due to leaks.
When deciding on a specific model of a thermal coffee mug, it is worth considering at the beginning how much warm drink we will pour into it, whether it will be just morning coffee, or perhaps more tea. The most popular are those with a standard capacity of 340 ml, but some people opt for larger ones: 400 or 420 ml.
The one made of stainless steel will be the longest heat-retaining thermal mug, making it ideal for a trip. Steel mugs maintain a higher temperature for the longest time, up to approx. 6 hours; for comparison, plastic mugs perform much worse.
The shape of the mug is very important, especially if we are choosing a thermal mug for the car. The ideal mug should fit in the car's cup holder, and its slight narrowing in the middle should facilitate a secure grip. Some models are additionally equipped with a rubber part of the handle, which guarantees a firm hold in the hand. You can also often find non-slip material on the base of the thermal mug, which secures the moment of placing it in the holder or on a desk.
A good thermal mug must be leak-proof and keep heat for a long time, but in all this we should remember that it should also meet our visual preferences, especially since we very often choose a thermal mug as a gift. The Ambition brand offers a wide range of thermal mugs in various designs and colors, which will be perfect for work, school, the car, or a walk.

OUR TIPS
How to influence the heat retention time of a thermal mug?
To keep your drink at a higher temperature for longer in a thermal mug, it is worth filling it with boiling water for 15-20 minutes before filling it with your beverage to warm up the walls.
How to store a thermal mug?
Remember that after each use, the washed mug should ideally be stored open.
