Travel cup test - Introduction

Introduction
Most people like a hot drink in the morning, but what if you don’t have time to grab your favourite beverage before hitting the road? That’s where travel cups come in.

Travel cups on test
We've tested eight travel cups to find out which hold their temperature for the longest and which are easiest to drink from. We also considered price and special features within our ratings.

The eight cups are all rated out of five, but we've also picked three as the:
Easiest drinking
Best for staying hot
Best budget buy

Travel cups: how we reviewed them
We put 300ml of boiling water in each of the eight cups and left them in an unheated car with the ambient temperature at a chilly 5C. We then measured the temperature of the water in each cup after 30 minutes, one hour and finally at two hours.
