- Hi, I'm Parris and I recently reviewed the Mighty Mug.
This is a cool mug that has No Tip Technology
and keeps cold drinks, hot drinks hot,
the most interesting part about it though is...
The No Tip Technology.
Well someone got the bright idea of marrying this technology
with this technology, this popular, titanium-ceramic
coating in pans that keeps things from sticking
and keeps any taste coming from this into your food.
The result of this union is...
The Red Copper Mug.
♫ Epic review guys
- You've probably seen TV commercials for the Red Copper Pan
and all of its non-stick technologies,
well they've applied that to the interior of this mug,
which also has a leak proof lid,
if you're using it correctly.
Inside, this is a similar coating
to what you find on these pans.
The Red Copper Mug always has double-wall insulation
to keep your drink whatever temperature it starts out as
and then there's that really cool technology
that keeps this from tipping over.
The Red Copper Mug goes for about $20 on their website,
they have a special deal where if you order a second one
it's free, you only pay the shipping.
Anyway, for two it ended up being about $36, $37
and yes, I do have an extra one,
we'll talk about this giveaway a little bit later.
In the several weeks since I reviewed the Mighty Mug
I've used it a number of times,
run it through the dishwasher at least a couple times,
it still seals up real nice
and the non tip feature, still works fine.
They do make the Mighty Mug in other designs,
a little bit more similar to this,
with the metal outside, more I think,
geared towards hot drinks and coffee.
This one you notice, does have a straw
and it lets you take the straw out,
and flip the thing over,
it's hard to make this leak resistant,
whereas this one is designed, it seems to me,
primarily to be your coffee cup for going to work
and taking and even putting it on your desk,
because when you have a smooth surface desk
that the technology works with,
it doesn't tip over.
The Red Copper Mug doesn't come with a straw,
it has this sort of style,
which if you drive a car and drink coffee,
you're probably familiar with.
You could put a straw in there
but really it's meant to be consumed this way.
When you have this completely closed,
it's not supposed to leak but I'm gonna test that out too.
I've filled both mugs up, most of the way, with ice.
This one makes that pour a nice drink in me sound,
this one, (ice hitting metal)
I don't care so much for that metal sound
but once we put the liquid in maybe it won't matter.
This is Texas Tea, green tea with honey, my favorite tea.
I think they hold a similar amount,
as you can see, this one's a little bit taller,
but this one's a little bit wider.
That's on snug.
Spill test time.
Okay, it passes.
This one, with the straw in it,
obviously isn't spill proof.
I rinsed both of the mugs out
and with the plastic one I didn't notice any taste
from the plastic, even the first time I drank from it,
so really this one, that hasn't been an issue.
With these metal mugs though,
I know there's often a steel taste or something
when you put a drink in it, especially a hot drink
but let's compare and see
if they taste the same.
Tastes great.
I gotta get my lip right on there, huh?
No metal taste but tastes a little different, I think,
it's different between drinking with a straw
and drinking right out of a cup.
The other thing I can tell you is,
this does not feel cold at all,
the Red Copper Mug is doing an amazing job
of keeping the cold in,
it's a little cooler up here,
right around the top I can feel the cold
but down here where I would hold it,
it doesn't feel like there's a drink in at all.
This one definitely, I can feel the cold coming through.
And as for their non top abilities,
they do both seem to work fine.
The technology with this is a little suction-y thing
underneath, it's not a suction cup,
but rather when you lift it straight up,
it doesn't hold on but when you try to lift it
at any kind of an angle, or of course,
if it's in the process of being knocked over,
then it grips on and doesn't let go.
And though I've been handling the Red Copper Mug
for just a few minutes, I can feel
it's much more comfortable to hold onto
with this curved shape that fits right to your hand
than the Mighty Mug, I don't usually hold onto this,
it sits on the table next to me,
but I can see driving in the car,
if you do have this in your hand a lot,
it would be a lot more comfortable to hold onto.
Time to test them both out with hot drinks.
Now, I don't drink coffee
so I am going to make tea in both of them
and see both how it tastes
and also how the cup feels.
Okay, boiling water first into the Mighty Mug.
And the Red Copper Mug.
I'll give the tea bags a minute to steep,
I added some sweetener to both
and then I'll use my infrared thermometer
to check the temperature of both liquids,
seal them up, come back in an hour
and see what the temperature is.
I realize I can probably take the straw out of this,
don't think I'll be drinking the tea with a straw.
Okay, now I'll check the temperature of both.
Mighty Mug's showing right about 180 fahrenheit
and the Red Copper's a little warmer than that, about 185.
So this has already lost a little bit more heat.
Okay, this is definitely warm.
Not so hot that I can't hold onto it but I definitely know
there's a hot drink inside the Mighty Mug.
The Red Copper?
Other than the fact that it's heavy,
I wouldn't even know that there's a drink in there,
I can't feel the heat coming out anywhere.
And to be fair, the Mighty Mug does make
a stainless steel version, this is sort of
a multi-purpose cold drink, hot drink, with the straw,
I just like to see the ice in it
when I'm having my iced tea.
The stainless steel version
may be a little bit more comparable
to the Red Copper in not letting the heat through.
Well, it's actually been two hours,
I got a little distracted.
This cup stills feel warm, this one stills feels
like I have no idea what the temperature is
of the liquid inside.
Let's use the infrared thermometer to check the temps.
Mighty Mug...
Showing...
107, 108 degrees, boy that has really cooled down,
I should be able to stick my finger in that,
yeah, 107, 108 degrees.
Red Copper,
oooh we got 149 degrees.
So the temperature has dropped from, what was it?
About 185 to 149, but I'm not gonna stick my finger in that
that's still pretty hot.
Time to taste both to see if there's any plastic
or metal taste, this one is obviously gonna taste
much cooler than this one.
Tastes good, I wouldn't have known
it was coming from a plastic container.
Yeah, it's still hot. (laughs)
If you like your hot drinks really hot, wow.
No metal taste.
But one difference is, if I had something like a soup
or a stew, something I wanted to eat with a spoon from this,
admittedly it wouldn't be as hot here
but this does have a restriction, which really surprised me.
The Red Copper instructions say
do not use metal utensils inside of this.
Now one thing I rally liked about...
The pan, this is the Gotham Steel Pan,
which is very similar, is you wanna use a metal utensil?
You use a metal utensil.
You can take your scrambled egg, a little bit of milk
and your metal fork and (imitates whisking)
whisk it right up in there,
it's not supposed to be a problem,
so I don't understand why the interior lining of this,
if it's a similar material, you can't use metal utensils.
Both the Red Copper Mug and the Mighty Mug
do their non tip thing equally well,
that technology works fine in both.
Now the Mighty Mug stainless steel version
may be more similar to this,
but this works fine for what I like,
which is cold drinks with a straw.
Now I did mention that we have an extra
Red Copper Mug to give away and it's pretty simple,
I'll give this away on Valentine's Day
so February 14th, 2017 to one commenter
who's commented below this video.
So that's all you have to do is make a comment
about something about mugs or coffee
or tea or travel
and I will just randomly pick one person on Valentine's Day,
respond to your comment and get in touch with you
and send this to you in the mail.
The Mighty Mug's actually cooled down enough
that I can drink it with a straw.
Maybe I'll add some ice to that.
The Red Copper Mug, I think the contents of this
are gonna be hot for a while still.
