The To-Go cereal cup from Goods & Gadgets made a very good impression in the test. It is a practical and versatile two-part cup that can be used on the go, at school or in the office. The cup has been specially developed for muesli, cereals and fruit.
A special feature of the cup is its double-walled construction, which ensures that milk or yoghurt in the lower part of the cup stays fresh for a long time. The muesli or fruit in the upper part remains crisp and fresh. The cup can be placed in the fridge or freezer beforehand to keep the contents cool.
The cup has a tight lid that prevents the contents of the yoghurt pot from leaking or dripping. This keeps the cup clean and prevents waste.
The muesli cup is ideal for healthy meals on the go, whether at school, in the office, on the train or at a picnic. You always have a healthy meal of your choice with you.
The mug offers enough space for approx. 260 ml of muesli and 85 ml of milk. It is leak-proof and easy to clean. However, it should be noted that the small folding spoon is very fragile and should only be used in an emergency.
The cup can also be used for transporting other meals, e.g. salad with dip for the lunch break, yoghurt with fruit for the office or chopped vegetables for the children’s outing. Thanks to the cooling properties of the bottom cup and the silicone seal , everything stays fresh and liquids cannot leak.
Advantages
✅ Lower cup cooling
✅ Leak-proof
✅ Various colours
✅ Dishwasher-safe (except lower cup)
Disadvantages
❌ No customer hotline
The first impression
The packaging and labelling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. Of course, adequate protection of the product must also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Item was packed compactly, use of plastic | 80 points |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The To-Go cereal cup was delivered in a sturdy cardboard box. The box was undamaged and easy to open. The cup was packed in a plastic bag. This would not have been absolutely necessary, but it protects against soiling and damage. In this case, the product was fully protected and the muesli pot was therefore in perfect condition.
The product packaging is not fully recyclable.
The To-Go muesli cup makes a very good impression at first glance.

After unpacking, the two-part muesli cup, a lid and a folding spoon lay on the table.
The lower part of the mug is double-walled and filled with cooling gel.
The spoon is foldable and can be easily stored in the lid. However, it is not intended for everyday use, but rather for emergencies. The lid is not a screw-on lid, but a hinged lid. However, the muesli is still well sealed.
The contact details are given on the packaging, but without a customer hotline. This can be found on the Amazon page.
Overall, the muesli pot makes a very good impression.

We really liked the To-Go cereal cup from Goods & Gadgets when we tested it. It offers a practical solution for transporting muesli and milk when travelling, at school or in the office.
The cup consists of two parts, with the lower part specially designed for storing milk. The insulating cooling gel keeps the milk fresh for a long time.
The upper part of the cup keeps the muesli and any fruit nice and crunchy. Before consumption, the cup can be placed in the freezer or fridge for about an hour to achieve a cooling effect.
The cup is easy to use.
The cup’s screw cap remains tight thanks to an integrated silicone ring, making it safe to use. The cup holds approx. 250 ml muesli and approx. 80 ml milk in the insulated part.
With dimensions of approx. 16 cm (height) x 10 cm (diameter), the mug is compact and lightweight at 135 g.
The muesli cup is ideal for healthy meals on the go, whether at school, in the office, on the train or at a picnic. You always have a healthy meal of your choice with you. It may be a little too small for some, but it’s just right for a small snack between meals.
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 | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Appropriate | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.0 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 50 points |
| Total | 70 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4 stars. One common criticism is that the spoon breaks very quickly. Many customers like the fact that the lower part can be used for cooling. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cooling effect was very good and that the spoon can break easily. However, it was specifically pointed out in the description that the small folding spoon is very fragile and should only be used in an emergency.
Prices of up to €21.89 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €5.90. The To-Go Muesli Mug from Goods & Gadgets is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €7.95. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of the product.
