Definition of quality product
You can make a rating of thermocups only after familiarizing yourself with the main characteristics of this product. Let's start with the typical parameters of thermal tanks - their shape, volume and tightness.
Shape and volume
Classic thermomug is characterized by a special shape of the case, consisting of three parts:
- Inner container made of food grade plastic.
- Outer casing (from ordinary material).
- Special plastic cover.
The standard capacity of these products ranges from 200 to 700 ml.
Note! Sometimes on sale there are thermomugs with a working volume of up to 1 liter.
The considered parameter is selected based on the purpose of the product. So, it is most reasonable for one person to use a mug with a capacity of not more than 200-400 ml. Larger products are suitable for companies going camping, for example, or fishing.
Tightness
It is possible to provide the required functionality of such utensils only due to reliable sealing of its internal spaces. Thanks to this, it is possible to maintain the temperature of the liquid poured into it for a sufficiently long time in the initial state.
High-quality branded dishes should provide the following temperature conditions:
- For cooled liquids (cold juices, kvass, spring water) - up to 12 hours.
- For hot liquids (coffee, tea, cocoa, etc.) - up to 6 hours.
The best design with a high leakproofness is a double-walled product with a vacuum between them.
