Enjoying your coffee or tea on the go is easy with a to-go thermos cup. But then your drink must remain nice and warm. Ease of use is also not entirely unimportant, because a cup should be pleasant to drink from. That is why Kassa is putting it to the test and testing both the user-friendliness and insulation of six thermal cups in different price ranges. Which one should you have?
The cups
For this test, we first enlist the help of a team of seven rowers from the Royal Dutch Sailing and Rowing Association in Muiden. They will test how the cups are used. The thermos cups that we test are: the coffee to-go cup from HEMA (€14.50), the Brabantia Make & Take (€22.99), the Leifheit Flip (€19.99), the ENVÄLDIG from Ikea (€5.99). ), the Stanley neverleak (€32.95) and the Mepal Ellipse (€26.99).
User-friendly and warm?
We fill all the cups with hot tea. The rowers each receive a bag for their training containing all six cups, filled with tea. After their training, the ladies drink a nice cup of tea and test all thermos cups for user-friendliness; Are the cups handy, are they leak-proof, do they open and close easily and are they pleasant to drink?
They test this blindly and therefore do not know which brands they are. The HEMA coffee to-go cup came out best in the user-friendliness test for the rowing team. The button on the cup allows you to easily open it with one hand to drink and you do not have to operate the valve or cap.
But which one stays warm the longest? We have this investigated by scientists Mimi and Pim from the Science, Technology & Innovation program at the University of Amsterdam. They will conduct a heat test and use a thermal camera to track which cup retains heat best. To assess this, they keep track of the temperature of the water for 5 hours. In addition, they repeated the first 3 hours of the test several times, both with full and half-full cups. After two hours you will see that the water in all the cups is still above 60 degrees, but major differences are immediately visible; one cup is still 80 degrees and the other 60. Ultimately, the Stanley neverleak cup is the winner, it has retained the heat best and is still at 60 degrees after 5 hours of testing. The HEMA cup fared the least well here, it was still 40 degrees after 5 hours.
The outcome
1. Stanley neverleak (€32,95)
This keeps coffee or tea warm the longest of all. The panel found it pleasant to drink, with a handy twist system and it fits well in your handbag or backpack. The most expensive of all.
2. HEMA coffee to go cup (€14.50)
The test panel found this the most pleasant drink. But because it keeps your drink warm least well, it is not in the first place.
3. Brabantia Make & Take (€22,99)
The panel was particularly concerned about the unclear locking system.
4. Ellipse from Mepal (€26.99)
Great cup, but some droplets remain in the rim.
5. EXTREMELY van Ikea (€5.99)
The cheapest cup in the test. The lid also hits your face when drinking.
6. Leifheit Flip (€19.99)
The test panel found it difficult to open and the valve hits your face when drinking.
