The thermo mug from CREANO made a very good impression in the test. The product allows customers to enjoy their favourite hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, on the go . It keeps hot drinks hot for over 4 hours and cold drinks cold for over 7 hours. The container has a capacity of 420ml and the 360° drinking opening makes it easy to enjoy your drink. However, the cup must be cleaned by hand, otherwise the insulation will not withstand the dishwasher wash cycle. This is common for all types of thermal containers and is also emphasised by the manufacturer.
The materials used are also very well made and have a very good, modern design that goes with any outfit. There are no unpolished edges or processing defects on the thermo mug.

The first impression
The packaging and labelling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Article was packed compactly – sustainable packaging method | 100 points |
| Product labelling | Labelling available, but only visible in continuous text | 90 points |
| Miscellaneous | High-quality packaging, also suitable as a gift | 100 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The thermo mug from CREANO arrived for our test in the typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged.
The box contained the thermo mug (including the unscrewable drinking lid) and detailed operating instructions were also printed on the packaging, which could be read in over 2 languages. The thermo mug was wrapped in recyclable paper, so that the packaging protects the product from scratches and dirt! In this case, the product was fully protected and the thermo mug was therefore in perfect condition.
The packaging of the thermo mug is completely recyclable.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.
After unpacking
Package contents and instructions
ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents & scope | Thermo mug with 360° drinking lid and operating instructions | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | Written in over 2 languages (German and English), easy to understand | 95 points |
| Contact information | Can be found on the box – unfortunately no e-mail or customer hotline provided | 70 points |
| Total | 88 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking, there were three items on the kitchen table. In addition to the thermo mug, our test also included operating instructions printed on the packaging. The fact that the operating instructions and product information were printed on the packaging saves resources.
Particularly noteworthy is the instruction manual, which explains the areas of application of the tea glass to the customer in over 2 languages. The use of the tea glass runs without any problems.
Unfortunately, an e-mail address and telephone number could not be found on the packaging or in the instructions.
All in all, however, this is a very good way to send a product.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The thermo mug from CREANO makes a very good visual impression in the test. In addition to the simple design, it has no manufacturing faults. The thermo mug is made of high-quality stainless steel and should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The product impresses with its low weight and sturdy workmanship. The customer is supplied with a high-quality thermo mug, which can provide the customer with enjoyable tea or coffee breaks. The 360° opening means you can drink from the mug from any angle.
Unfortunately, we cannot find any information about sustainability , but the materials used appear to be of very high quality, which is why we assume that they will last a long time.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Utilisation | Very easy to use – simply pour the hot drink into the cup and close it | 95 points |
| Cleaning | Cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher (usual with thermal containers) | 90 points |
| Temperature is maintained | Hot drinks can still be enjoyed hot after 4 hours – cold drinks even after more than 7 hours | 100 points |
| Total | 95 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We really enjoyed installing and using the CREANOthermo mug during the test. It is very easy to use and you can simply fill the thermo mug and enjoy it through the 360° opening. The item is made from a high-quality material and (unlike the All in One tea glass) cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher.
After filling and closing the mug, it keeps hot drinks hot for over 4 hours and cold drinks cold for over 7 hours. Drinking from the mug is particularly easy thanks to the 360° opening.
All in all, the thermo mug is particularly suitable for people who like to enjoy their coffee hot on the go but don’t want to pay the expensive prices at the kiosk or bakery for a coffee to go.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good price-performance ratio | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.4 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 70 points |
| Total | 80 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.4 stars. One criticism is that the thermo mug is not dishwasher-safe and that it can easily spill over when drinking. Many customers like the fact that it has a very attractive design and that the lid supplied seals perfectly and is multifunctional. In our practical test, we were also able to confirm these points, but we found that it did not spill over more often than other thermo mugs when drinking.
Prices of up to €35.70 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €9.99. The thermo mug from CREANO is therefore in the middle price segment in our test with a price of €19.90. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
