Why a Self-Stirring Mug?
You may think that self-stirring mugs are some gimmicky products and bought for fun for only a few days of use. However, if you buy a good one, you will certainly start seeing the benefits of using them.
Here is what makes self-stirring mugs worth a purchase:
- They make it easy and quick to not only mix your coffee but also add and quickly combine the milk, creamers, sugar, vanilla syrup, etc.
-
- These mugs are great not only for hot coffee but also for cold coffee and many other drinks in general. Hot cocoa? Tea? Protein shakes? They can handle it all! Moreover, some people find self-stirring mugs perfect for smoothies and shakes that separate as they take their time to drink them. The rotor at the bottom of the mug easily re-blends them.
- Some self-stirring coffee mugs have insulation. They keep your coffee hot or cold for longer – a much-needed feature for those working hours in-between their coffee sessions.
- Self-stirring mugs are sometimes even bigger than your typical coffee mugs. So, you can make a lot of coffee with as much creamer as you want and not worry amount being unable to properly mix it.
- A self-stirring mug makes the perfect gift. It is useful and fun.
How to Choose a Self-Stirring Mug
Whether you are picking a self-stirring mug for yourself or as a gift, there are a few things to consider before buying:
Size
Self-stirring mugs can be bigger than regular coffee mugs. However, they also come in various sizes.
You can buy a larger mug if you want diversity. With larger self-stirring mugs, you can make a lot of coffee to take you through a few hours of work or an entire movie. But you can also make less coffee in big mugs whenever you want.
No-Spill Features
You are using a self-stirring mug to have a hassle-free gourmet coffee experience, right?
So what is the point if it spills every time you use it and you have to clean up every time? The mug should perform smoothly, without any splashes. This largely depends on the way the rotor at the bottom of the mug operates.
Thus, when buying a self-stirring cup, make sure the manufacturer states a no-spill feature. If it doesn’t, read the reviews to learn about the experiences of other buyers.
Durability and Performance
If you have had a bad experience with a self-stirring mug that stopped working after a couple of uses, you have most likely bought one made of low-quality materials.
