BRUGO ” A Perfect Degree Of Taste” Review and Giveaway

brugo mug 4

I’m an extreme coffee enthusiast who seeks out the perfect cup of Joe.  The ironic thing is I don’t even have my own brewer.  This is because of two very important reasons.  The first  being I wrecked my coffee maker by forgetting to take out  the used filter in the machine for days  and disgusting mold accumulated throughout the inside.  I tried cleaning it, but no matter how many times I washed it the coffee still came out with a tint of mold smell and taste. YUCK!  The second reason I don’t have my own machine is because  I am the only one in my home who drinks the hot addicting beverage and I can’t afford a QUALITY single brewer at the moment.  Brewing a whole pot means I would be drinking it ALL by myself which would result in me  having nervous energy, bouncing off the walls, driving my husband nuts, and a possible divorce.  All great reasons NOT for me to have a huge pot of java ready for immediate consumption.  You might make the argument I could drink instant decaffeinated coffee,  but that is like offering a beer drinker a non-alcoholic Beck’s in place of a Budweiser.  It just doesn’t work!

Dunkin’  Donuts, Starbucks, FastTrac, or even the  poor neighbor might find me on their doorstep looking for my first cup of the day.  The problem is I am not a very coordinated individual when I first awake and those flimsy cup and top lids are a NIGHTMARE!  The coffee is hot as hell and the cups leak the lava!  PLUS, I usually have to add ice-cubes to the coffee  or wait till it cools enough to drink it which causes  the coffee to lose its robust flavor.  If I don’t wait or insert cubes, every sip  is like playing Russian roulette with my lips.  These are the headaches  a coffee freak has to endure by consuming the beverage away from home.

BRUGO mug

A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in trying the BRUGO mug.  What is it?  The mug is an ingenious invention designed by Spero Pavlopoulos (a coffee addict),  that allows coffee and tea nerds to enjoy every sip of their hot beverage in the “Perfect Temperature Zone.” It also eliminates the spills, spatters, burnt lips, and stained clothes all associated with the “to-go” coffee experience.

How Does It Work?

The BRUGO mug’s patented design controls the hot beverages by giving you the option to LOCK, SIP, or TIP & COOL. The thermodynamic patented temperature control chamber makes your coffee the perfect temperature of 150 t0 170 degrees to give your taste buds the full enjoyment of the coffee flavor desired with every sip.

LOCK

“Lock seals the flavor of your favorite brew in tight.”

SIP

“Sip lets you bypass the Temperature Control Chamber after your brew has cooled to your desired drinking temperature.”

TIP & COOL

“Tip your BRUGO Travel Mug away from you for a few seconds to move your hot brew from the lower chamber to the patented Temperature Control Chamber. Swill with a “brandy” motion to cool that sip to the Perfect Temperature. The longer the motion, the cooler the sip.”

BRUGO Executive and Jazz Mug Features

  • Patented 2 oz/25 ml Temperature Control Chamber giving you sip by sip satisfaction at the perfect temperature
  • Double-wall insulation
  • 3-position drink mode selector – “Lock, Sip, Tip & Cool” – allowing you perfect taste and temperature control whether you need a bolt of caffeine or prefer to linger over your coffee ritual
  • 16oz / 450ml capacity cup size – a large cup
  • Non-slip bottom keeping your coffee where you put it
  • Ergonomic grip for maximum comfort
  • 13 stylish colors
  • Stainless Steel and Chrome accents
  • Fits all cup holders

MY NEW FRIEND

When I first received the BRUGO  I was impressed by the overall look and elegant design of the mug, BUT I was a little scared to put my lips to the test.  I poured the blazing coffee into the mug, set the control to Tip & Cool and did the magic presto tip and swish action.   I braced myself for the burn as I took a sip.  No burn?  How could this be?  I was in love with the mug after the first sip.  The coffee was still HOT yet it was not scalding.  I now take the mug everywhere I go and it has become my new friend.   I know that sounds  melodramatic but I honestly don’t leave my home without it.
