Why Ceramic Beats Stainless Steel and Plastic
Pure Taste, No Metal, No Plastic
Most travel mugs ruin your coffee before you've even taken a sip. Uncoated stainless steel adds a metallic aftertaste. Plastic absorbs odours and stains over time. Ceramic does neither.
The bru Ceramic Travel Mug is lined with a smooth sol-gel ceramic coating that keeps every drink tasting exactly as it should. No metal, no plastic, no compromise.
Fits Every Car Cup Holder
Sized to drop straight into a standard car cup holder, so your coffee travels with you on every commute.
Ready for the Ride
Compact and secure enough for a bike commute. Leakproof lid means no spills, however bumpy the route.
Slips Into Any Bag
The 100% leakproof seal means you can drop it straight into a backpack or handbag without a second thought.
Travel Mug FAQs
What is a ceramic travel mug?
A ceramic travel mug has a ceramic lined interior instead of bare stainless steel or plastic. The ceramic surface doesn't react with coffee or tea, so your drink keeps its natural taste with no metallic edge. The shell is still insulated stainless steel for heat retention.
Why choose ceramic over stainless steel or plastic?
Stainless steel interiors impart a slight metallic taste, especially with acidic drinks like espresso. Plastic absorbs odours and flavours over time and can leach into hot liquids. Ceramic is neutral, easy to clean, and keeps coffee tasting like coffee for the life of the cup.
Are reusable coffee cups worth it?
If you buy takeaway coffee even twice a week, a reusable cup pays for itself in a few months thanks to coffee shop discounts. Most UK chains (Costa, Pret, Starbucks) take 25p to 50p off when you bring your own cup. Plus you stop adding to the 2.5 billion disposable cups thrown away just in the UK every year.
Will a travel mug really keep my coffee hot?
A vacuum insulated double wall travel mug, like our bru, will keep coffee hot for up to 8 hours, depending on the temperature the coffee was poured in at and the environmental temperature after that. The vacuum gap between the two walls stops heat escaping by conduction. Single-walled cups (ceramic mugs, paper cups, glass mugs) lose heat within 15 minutes.
Can I use a reusable cup in coffee shops?
Of course- and don't be shy about it! All UK coffee shops accept reusable cups, and most offer a discount of 25p to 50p per drink. Just hand it over before you order. bru is sized to fit standard takeaway cup sizes, 8oz,12oz and 16oz.
What size travel mug should I get?
Most people pick the 12oz / 350ml for a regular latte or americano. The 8oz / 240ml suits a flat white or espresso drinker. The 16oz / 470ml is for larger lattes, iced drinks and longer commutes. All three fit in a standard car cup holders.
