Something about the way this new coffee mug is shaped it is worse about leaving a little cold bit left undrunk at the bottom. I like a big coffee mug but they need to be engineered to not cool off too fast. Once they hit drinkable temp they have to hold that long enough for leisurely sipping and not barely long enough for chugging. Of course too much insulating ability and the liquid takes to long to cool to drinkable... I wonder if I could build something that would preform a thermo dynamic test on a mug while still in the store and let me determine of the volume to insulation radio is in the optimal range...

You could get one of those little ceramic cup warmer hot plate thingies...

I have the perfect coffee tumbler. It’s stainless steel, and with the lid on, it’ll keep stuff warm until afternoon should I somehow not drink it, *but* with the lid off, it cools fairly quickly. So I can make my coffee or tea, let it sit for just a minute or two, clap the lid on, and I’m good to go.

It’s Starbucks, so it was a slight bit pricey, but it works well enough that when one got lost in the move, I almost immediately bought another.

I've got one of those nautical style wide-base steel mugs at the office:

It's sorta like the one on the bottom. It keeps coffee hot for quite a while due to the small opening at the top. Not much surface area exposed to the air. The one I have is even a bit smaller at the top than the one in the picture.

...and it won't tip as your boat heels over either. So there's that.

Mornin' folkses...
