I love good design.
While I don't obsess about everything, every once in a while I will obsess about the design of certain objects. In the past few years I have become (only mildly) preoccupied by the design of insulated mugs. In my mind, a perfect insulated mug will- be a good size to hold and drink from when full
- be leak-proof
- have a top latch that is operable with one hand
- be easy to clean
- keep liquids at their original temperature for a long long time
I've analyzed four insulated mugs in order to compare them. These are pretty much the only insulated mugs I've used, chosen based on good Amazon reviews, availability in local stores, and in one case, being on an Amazon flash sale while also looking suspiciously like my favorite mug. See if you can guess which is which.
