*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test shows that the KUINEA To Go coffee mug scores highly in terms of versatility. It is versatile and suitable for use at home, at work, on the go, when camping or traveling. The ability to keep drinks both hot and cold makes it useful all year round.
There was some initial confusion regarding cleaning, as the product packaging only recommended cleaning the lid in the dishwasher. In the test, however, cleaning the entire mug in the dishwasher proved to be flawless and problem-free.
The tightness of the coffee mug is also excellent, as it does not leak. This is particularly important to avoid unpleasant surprises during transportation.
The product also delivers what it promises in terms of insulation. It can keep the temperature of the filled beverage hot or cold for up to six hours , although a slight loss of temperature can of course be observed over time.
One aspect to note is the limited choice of size variations. The mug is available in a 350 ml size, which is equivalent to a large cup. Although this is sufficient for many, a larger selection could better meet the needs of different consumers.
To summarize, the KUINEA To Go coffee mug offers a practical solution for on-the-go with its versatile uses, convincing tightness, good insulation and easy cleaning in the dishwasher. However, an extended range of sizes could make the product even more attractive.
