About a month or so ago, the Cuppow team added a new product to their line-up. Called the Cuppow Coozie, this snug-fitting jar jacket works with most wide mouth pint jars and is made from recycled plastic PET bottles (those are the ones with a #1 on the bottom). The material is called pfelt and is durable and feels good in the hand.
I’ve had a Cuppow Coozie in my life for about a month now, and I’ve been using it a lot. Back in January, I made a private resolution to only get take-out coffee if I had a reusable cup with me. Because of this, I almost always tuck a travel mug of some kind in my bag before heading out (I never know when the urge to grab a cup will strike).
Before the Coozie landed in my mail box, I had been using a Contigo Autoseal mug. It’s a very well made mug, but it insulates so well that in order to bring the coffee down to a drinkable temperature, I’d need to remove the lid for an extended period of time. To my mind, that defeats the purpose of a travel mug.
What I appreciate about the Cuppow Coozie is that it provides some insulation (and hand protection) while allowing the coffee to cool naturally enough that I can manage to drink it without removing the lid or waiting half the day. It also comes fitted with a little finger loop, making it easy and comfortable to hold and drink from the jar.
I’ve started taking a jar fitted with a Coozie with me whenever I’m planning on working from a coffee shop, which is something I do at least twice a week. My two favorite shops both offer reusable mugs if you plan on staying awhile, but far too often, I’ve managed to spill coffee everywhere when using their ceramic mugs. Using a jar fitted with a Cuppow lid and Coozie means that my risk of spillage is much less (additionally, both shops offer a small discount if you bring your own mug, so I save a few pennies each time).
The kind folks at Cuppow have offered up five of their Complete Glass Travel Mug set-ups for me to giveaway. Each one contains a wide mouth pint jar and ring, one Cuppow lid, and a Cuppow Coozie (just like what’s pictured in the first image in this post). Oh, and if you don’t want to wait to see if you win the giveaway, the travel mug kit is on sale right now for just $24.95.

Disclosure: The Cuppow team sent me one of their travel mug kits for photography and review purposes. They are also providing the units for this giveaway. Additionally, they are a Food in Jars sponsor. However, I would write about their products even if they didn’t help support this site because they are good and useful, particularly for those of us who are preoccupied with jars.
Unsweetened iced tea with lemon slices.
Coffee or iced tea!! How very cool, thank you for the giveaway opportunity 🙂
Love it! I’d drink coffee in it in the mornings & lemon water the rest of the day!
Ice tea, yogurt, ice water, cold coffee, etc
I would put coffee and flavored water in it.
I’d have a cup of full-strength coffee, a rare treat but very necessary sometimes thanks to my energetic toddler and very hungry one-month-old!
I would put my iced pau d’arco & hibiscus tea in the glass travel mug in the summer, and in the winter some hot rooibos vanilla tea.
Cold Brew iced coffee or a smoothie!
Oh coffee for sure ; and probably a summery cocktail later in the day!
Either black coffee or kefir

Coffee!
Coffee, tea, water…I’m mobile at the office so a closed mug would be a lifesaver.
This is so cool! I’d use it for some of my own chai tea latte blend. I started making my own when the local price went up so much. After some tweaking i think i have the ultimate mix.
Pretty standard stuff: I’d use one for a.m. coffee and then water during the day.
I think this would be great for my morning coffee!
I would put hot chocolate in this cup and share with my daughter.
I would use it for my morning coffee with vanilla almond milk creamer. Delicious! Thanks for the chance to win this cool product. 🙂
