A stainless steel coffee mug is best suited for travelling people either going for outdoors or picnics. However before buying these mugs, there are a few considerations that one needs to look at. Firstly one should consider the make of the mug or the materials that make the mug. The most common varieties of the said mugs are the stainless steel and the plastics one.
One may consider the cost aspect, durability or the privilege of it. However on the aspect of cost, the plastic mugs are far better off than the stainless steel. Even if they are expensive they have a relative advantage compared to plastic one as they are of more durable. They can't break easily and on the other side they tend to keep the liquid warm for a longer time. This make many travelers prefer the stainless steel coffee mugs for their outings.
The coffee mug made of stainless steel can keep a hot beverage, hot water, hot tea, porridge or any other hot liquid for durations of 30 minutes to one hour. A plastic mug usually keeps hot liquids and beverages for durations of less than 20 minutes.
Another advantage of the stainless steel mug is on the side of cleanliness. They are easily cleaned compared to the plastic mugs. Plastics mugs have a rougher surface as compared to the stainless mug. Also when plastic mugs are exposed to extreme heat, they become so fragile and very easy to break. The heat is absorbed by the plastic over time and again and at the end, the drinks will have a strange taste and smell.
Also, there are coffee mugs that are made by mixing both stainless steel and plastic materials whereby stainless steel makes the interior and plastic is used for the exterior.
