Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Burning your tongue on a hot drink is no picnic, but burning it while drinking from an insulated commuter mug is worse. Not only does the cup disguise the temperature of the beverage it contains, making you more likely to subject your tongue to overly-hot drinks in the first place, but they do not allow drink not cool down fast enough to prevent repeat burns. Combine that with a morning commute in rush hour traffic and you will probably discover the source of many cases of "road rage."
Fortunately, there is a cup that offers a solution. The Tip and Sip Cup keeps coffee hot at up to 205 degrees, which is the temperature that most coffee is brewed at. When it is tipped (for a sip), the coffee passes into a patented Temperature Control Chamber, which lowers the temperature of the coffee to the "Perfect Zone" of 150-170F, leaving you with a satisfying swig of coffee and no burns. The triple function lid has a spill-proof lock setting and a regular "sip" setting that bypasses the temperature control chamber, in addition to the cooling function.
It is available in raspberry, lime, orange, forest, black, or blue and is priced at $19.95. The cost of never burning your tongue again? Priceless.

I find them hard to work with, and drinking out of them is irritatingly difficult with the tipping in one direction and sipping from another concept. The spill-proof lock is not spill-proof, and there's a nice stain on my book bag to prove it. The so called cooling chamber is nothing more than a trough that gets cool air sucked across it. By the time whatever liquid gets to your mouth, it's actually too cool for my liking, and full of air bubbles. By about the third sip when I first tried mine, I just took the lid off. Both mugs that I bought last year, for me and the man, are currently sitting in the Goodwill pile.

I have the plastic version ($10) which does a good job of insulating when I'm indoors but when I walk to work in the winter (one mile and below 25F) my beverage is a bit cooler than my liking when I arrive to at work. The stainless steel version ($20) is supposed to maintain the beverage temperature for seven hours, though I've never tested that one.
