Brugo Mug Review & Giveaway

CLOSED!!!!!


It's getting colder out which means my boys are begging me to make hot chocolate! The problem with hot drinks is when first poured they are HOT! Then they cool quickly and are cold. My mom is a big coffee drinker & there are times I just have to have a cup it's so hot that you burn yourself if your not careful! Brugo has fixed that!


Spero Pavlopoulos reached the end of his rope one morning while trying to drink a fresh cup of coffee. Sitting in his car, he removed the lid to cool it slightly. But the cup slipped. Coffee spilled and spattered all over his clothes and his new car. It was not the way he wanted to start his day!

Fresh coffee is brewed at 205 degrees, but its vibrant flavors are most distinguishable and pleasing at around 150 to 170 degrees. By using a simple “tip and sip” motion, BRUGO™ users transfer sip-sized amounts (one fluid ounce) of their hot beverage to the temperature control chamber, where it immediately reaches this Perfect Temperature Zone. Only the liquid in the chamber is cooled and only this liquid exits the sip opening. This inventive system eliminates the need for coffee drinkers to blow on their beverage, add ice to it, or wait for it to cool.


The BRUGO™ lid has three options: LOCK, TIP & COOL, and SIP. The LOCK setting seals the mug and is perfect for transporting the beverage without spilling. TIP & COOL gives the consumer the full benefits of the temperature control chamber. Once the beverage in the mug has cooled to a palatable temperature, users simply turn the dial to SIP and drink the beverage directly.

Just checked out the site and discovered that:
Brugo was nominated "Top 10 Gifts for the Gadget Crazed". Also, there seem to be a HUGE variety to chose from in colors and I must say I truly love the lock, sip, tip and cool options. Even if I dont win this, I've so got to get my own. :) I'm thinking early Christmas present for myself. :) And, at only $19.95, I'll be very happy sippin' from this new stylish mug!!

I learned that the “tip and cool” setting works best when the mug is completely full. You should switch to the “sip” setting when your mug is 3/4 or less full. By this time the coffee in the main chamber should have reached a palatable temperature.

I learned that the mug comes in 13 colors which is a really wide range, I'm impressed! Most items like this seem to come in 5 colors more or less, so the selection of colors for this item is really great.

Thanks so much for the chance to win!
