Our new fave

One of Jody's favorite stores is REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.), he loves the outdoors. He received a giftcard from REI for Christmas. After browsing the store he came across this mug: REI Vacuum Infuser Mug. Here's the mugs description...

Always on the go? Use the REI Vacuum Infuser mug to brew your tea or coffee as you hurry from place to place!
•Simply drop your tea leaves or fresh coffee grounds inside the cylinder and pour hot water on top; your drink then steeps inside
•Removable stainless-steel screen filters leaves or grounds as you drink through the bottom half of the 2-part lid; or, remove the screen and simply pour your drink into a cup
•Double-wall, stainless-steel construction keeps drinks warm for up to 6 hrs.; keeps drinks cool for up to 10 hrs.
•Food-grade sipping collar lets you drink a hot beverage without worrying about burning your lips
•Rubber on the base keeps the mug from slipping
•Hand wash; do not microwave

He spent his entire giftcard on ONE mug?! I thought he was absolutely crazy. He used it the first day, came home and showed me that his coffee was still warm (hours later). He kept showing me for the next few days until I decided to use it for a day, SOLD. I went the very next day and bought myself one with my own Christmas money! I have to say this is completely worth the price tag (I don't say that much about anything). I drink coffee every morning and was re-heating my coffee several times a day, with this mug it stays as hot as you pour it in the cup for hours! I don't do any of the fancy brewing or anything, just make my coffee the regular way in the pot then pour it in my mug! If you are looking for a mug that does exactly what it says it will, this is the mug for you, click HERE for the link to REI :) Oh and my Mom liked it so much she bought one too!!!
