Red Copper Mug Review: Does this Travel Mug Work?

[@sewingwithminalolita3178]

I use this product and I actually bought it by mistake- I ran into Walgreens in a hurry and needed a mug- when I got to my desk at work and unpackaged it and read up on it- I was impressed. I actually went back to Walgreens a couple of days later and bought another one for my daughter as her water mug at school because of the anti- tip feature...THEN, I went back to get another one because I wanted one for my coffee/tea and one specific for my cold water...BUT hmm. I’ve had this item for 4 months now as my main mug. I love how it keeps my ice cold and intact ALL day- BUT after 4months of using this it no longer will keep my water cold as promised.. when I initially got it, I would fill with ice at 7a and at 4:30 when I got off work I would still have ice- that’s is- GOOD ice! NOW, ice not water will stay cold, my ice melts and the water is warm or room temp if it sits all day. I’ll have to test the coffee now- I normally will drink my coffee within an hour and still hot- but as far as this mug holding up the ice and keeping my water and ice cold-- IT HAS FAILED THE TEST!!!! If this product is guaranteed to last- I need to reach out to red copper and let them know the same thing I’m posting here.. thanks for the awesome review.. but, do another review and see if it still holds up to what it’s suppose to do- at least mine didn’t..

[@siskospaceman]

I love the laid back style of these old videos! Especially the music... you look stoned. lol :)

[@vickieowen7955]

I didn't know what it was like to have a favorite mug or cup. I am convinced it is the best of any others around. I've owned one for 2years now. (2mugs, 1st one stolen) The slimmer design and the lid. I actually carry mine in my purse 👜. Even a year later the lid holds. You just have to make sure you close it right. You taste only your drink all day. Now my second one has disappeared,so I'm on here to get a couple more.

[@KikiYushima]

My personal favorite tumblers are Tervis. They're honestly pretty amazing to me. I can fill a full 24 oz cup with ice and water and still have _cold_ water about 4-8 hours later (time obviously dependent on external conditions like weather). Another great thing is that the minimal sweating. About the only time I've noticed they sweat is when it's _really_ humid. Even then, it's nowhere near as bad as a normal cup. It's just a very thin layer of condensation and doesn't completely soak a paper towel if placed under it even if it's been sitting there for _hours._ They're also pretty shatter resist unlike a lot of other double-insulated plastic tumblers.

[@Seanmm8855]

I mean ....if it takes you 6 hours to drink a cup of coffee then there's a problem ....

[@reneepaz8077]

I am big fan of your channel, thank you for all the demos and info, it saves us a lot of time and money.

[@johnarnold7006]

Great review. Because of your review I went out and bought one. Actually I bought 2 because I was at one of the 50 Walgreen's in my town (jk) and they had them on clearance for $4.99. I'm thinking about going back and buying the last two they had. Took the mug out of the box and just had to start punching it. I couldn't believe that it wouldn't tip over and I was really punching this thing.

[@nguyenhong3]

John Arnold is it work good?

[@johnarnold7006]

Charlie Beagle yeah it works great. Doesn't spill and doesn't tip. I pulled it out and started punching it and it didn't go anywhere. I tried the ice test and I still had the majority of the ice after 16 and a half hours. Worth the money for sure.

[@nguyenhong3]

John Arnold thanks for the tips. I will travel international flight this month, so I will buy one mug on Amazon

[@BloodStainedTear]

John Arnold I got mine on clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond for $4.24

[@sewingwithminalolita3178]

Read my review 4months later after using this everyday..

[@aidamelendez7775]

I always wanted to buy one, but didn't know if it was true. Hey, hey, hey I'm getting one for me I have lot's of appt and lot's of times don't have time to drink my coffee, so thrumbs up. I'm getting mine yeaaa. Thank you very much have a bless day and may you keep on progressing.❤

[@tbmoffittiii]

performed better in every claim than I thought it would. Good review.

[@christinakindler4281]

A friend of mine sent me one. I like anti-tip feature for sure. It keeps my coffee warm enough for me to drink, So I'll give it an 8 out of 10

[@5535006]

I just ordered the deluxe one hasn't got here yet but look forward to opening it. I really look forward to your reviews very useful

[@bffbecky]

My husband works for our town and this time of year he can be out for hours plowing snow. He liked it so much he bought a 2nd one.

[@angelascapin2667]

I HAVE HAD MINE FOR THREE YEARS AND ITS AMAZING

[@chrism1102]

I saw this at Rite-Aid tonight when I was buying the Miracle Seat Cushion. I may buy it with the $4.00 off coupon they give you with almost every visit. I also noticed the Red Copper Skillet. I was very tempted to buy it for 20 bucks but it just looked too thin and flimsy.

[@ohreally9227]

Need to get one of these. I love the lid. I ended up getting the "20oz" Ozark Trail from walmart and it only holds 18.

[@Freakinreviews]

Let me know what you think if you do get one. I'll be comparing a 30oz Ozark Trail against two As Seen on TV tumblers in an upcoming review.

[@RidaYash]

Great review. However, I’m wondering what the flow rate is like while drinking. I have another expensive brand mug which holds the temperature needed and is spill proof, but because it’s spill proof the drink flow rate is very low.

[@burshtein2002]

James I like your video and you are looking very honest about the product. Big like from me. 👍🥇

[@HonestSpiritual]

I really like this mug. Sometimes I get mocha coffee and it is easier to clean the chocolate residue after because of the cereamic coating on the inside. Although, since it is so tall it can be difficult to use under some coffee machines like my Classic K50 Kureg. I have to fill a caraf up first to fill up my red copper mug after.

[@williamjones5650]

One thing not mentioned, is how well it fits your hand, and even when full it is pretty balanced, and never top heavy. Oh and if you use carbonated drinks in it, if you keep the lid closed on it, it doesn't go flat. Great for beer and soda.

[@martinparamo6957]

Just got one for Christmas , I'm enjoying this mug.

[@naveenkumar-sn6tc]

@ 6:40 min. To answer your question, boil the water to 90 degrees, let it cool, Then pour it to ice cubes jar to freeze.

[@allboroughllcfilm]

great job! I am in the market for it and wanted to see... so as long as its a few hrs..its ok..

[@johnjackson-pu3xo]

Thanks for the review, I'm having 1 or 2

[@hoosierarcher]

You can extend the hot and cold holding time of any thermal mug by tempering it before you add your beverage. If your beverage is hot while the coffee or tea brews pour boiling water in the mug and close it up. When your beverage is ready, dump out the boiling water and add your beverage. Prep it for cold by keeping it in the refrigerator for an hour or two before adding your beverage. It is simple thermodynamics.

[@reptileguardian941]

hoosierarcher - simple, sure. Necessary?

[@hoosierarcher]

ReptileGuardian not completely necessary but it does help very much. It's science. Thermodynamics.

[@meka1002]

I got my Red Copper Mug from Walmart, It actually is good I agree with you on your review, thank you

[@Freakinreviews]

Thanks Tameka. I use it several times a week and still like it.

[@JBrezzyE18]

Great review, one of the best.

[@lisabuchbinder2451]

I love this mug . My only problem was it fell on concrete floor and broke lid.

[@demonsgunnar]

Thats not its fault

[@CrimFerret]

Looks like a good product. Only losing 40 degrees after 6 hours is pretty good and you could probably have gotten even better results if you'd preheated the mug with hot water first. As for the icecube thing, what they didn't tell you is how cold the ice cubes were when they went in. Many commercial freezers can get much colder than the usual for home consumer ones and if they really wanted to cheat, chilling the cubes down in liquid nitrogen would have made it even less likely they'd have melted at all. The sad part is they didn't have to exagerate the capabilities. definitely going to pick one of these up.

[@BloodStainedTear]

CrimFerret You'll enjoy it.. however if you are using it for hot beverages remember the colder the environment the more rapidly the beverage will lose heat but if you just leave it at room temperature it lives up to its claims

[@flickafy]

Is it still going strong after a year? Thanks

[@2centchick]

Great review! First time I have seen that travel mug. I would buy it for the tip proof feature alone! Very cool!

[@Freakinreviews]

Thank you, and yes that is a novelty that hasn't worn off yet! My teenage daughter, who is apt to spills, has found it useful!

[@cyncity6873]

Great video! Just brought it today and thanks to your video, i will not return it.

[@humblewarrior6585]

My concern is, will the ceramic crack if you drop it ?

[@marclaclear6628]

They probably precooled the cup before putting in the ice so the ice didn't need to cool down the inside of the cup.

[@MrMonochromatic]

Marc LaClear I was thinking the same. Ice is totally going to melt, at least a little, in something that isn't just as cold.

[@ExpressionlessAnger]

It's same for the heat test. Many thermal carafes say to pre-heat the interior with boiling water before filling it for maximum heat retention.

[@chadpugh1490]

Anyway, not sure what u paid for it. But I picked up a stainless bottle from Walmart for $5 made by Tal. It's leak proof. Durable (I know cause it's hit the floor plenty of times at work). Insulated very well and 24oz. I wanted to bring some cold tea to work with me in the morning. The tea was still hot so I poured it in and stuck it in the fridge overnight. Grabbed it on my way out the door the next morning and took a swig in the truck. ALMOST BURNED MY FREAKING TONGUE OFF!! The outside was ice cold but the contents were still blazing hot AFTER being in fridge all night. The downside: it tips over very easy. Also, it's a bottle not a mug, so I can't really get in there easily to clean the inside.Had to buy a bottle brush cause every once in a while I'd get a drink and it would have a sour smell. Haven't had that problem since getting the brush.

[@ExpressionlessAnger]

The other problem is that the liner is stainless steel. Depending on the quality of the steel, it can add a metallic taste to acidic drinks. That's the major reason I'd consider this mug. I really prefer a ceramic or glass liner because it's totally inert and smooth. That's one of the reason lab containers are usually glass or ceramic.

[@johnpratt7519]

Try the leak test with a completely filled cup not just a little like you did!

[@HFVidShotz]

Nice mug! Thanks bra!

[@bjordbox]

3:27 kinds looks like idubbbztv

[@gabe5499]

Lel

[@BadmanPictures]

haha that's his son I think

[@teaze1642]

i legit thought that was idubbbz for a second

[@briteidea08]

There's one test you didn't do. It's almost impossible to do with any mug or tumbler. How well does it sit in a cup holder test? I own six different mug's or tumblers. All because every time I rent another car, the cup holders are different. Some have nubs on the side. While others either have rubber inserts or nothing at all. Is there a way to test it?

[@reptileguardian941]

briteidea08 - since its spill proof, I'm going to go ahead and say that if it doesn't fit in your cup holder, just stick it somewhere like in between an arm rest.

[@briteidea08]

ReptileGuardian Depends on the vehicle I'm driving. Some have the room to sit a mug down or cram into a nook. Others not so much.

[@williamjones5650]

Fits in every cup holder in my Santa fe.

[@jduenas1988]

I have one and the only complaint I have is the mouthpiece is too small and sometimes I’ll have difficulty drinking out of it.

[@ikkepic]

You should have checked the spillage with really hot water, because the hear will build up presssure. 😉

[@johnhornbeak5735]

Test it against the Yeti brand mug

[@pajewa]

That is pretty good.

[@cherrelltarver3258]

I have this cup it is great it keep cold drink cold and hot drink hot

[@cashxmobile7095]

ice on the commercial is dry ice reason for last longer and not water

[@Gray_the_Great]

You need to review a new coffee pot...that one was dirty as f**k.

[@tracyjulien3287]

If the mug accidentally falls from your hand is it likely that the ceramic inside may break?

[@danielhuffman8227]

I have one in red

[@vickijankowski2945]

Does the mug get sweaty when you have cold liquid in it for a time???

[@Freakinreviews]

I haven't noticed this, although I haven't used it in a humid climate.

[@elainemarie9470]

Thank you for this product review. I had spent a year trying out travel mugs, and even the best quality "spillproof" lids leaked. Plus, merely after a week or two of daily use, the lids progressively increased loss of liquid. I would baby these containers, and hand washed them to reduce wear & tear. I gave up and settled for an 18 oz Contigo brand double wall stainless steel set of mugs that were the least leakiest of them all. Although I loved fairy tales as a little girl, I felt like I was in an adult Goldilocks or Snow White (mirror, mirror) scenario. Surely this shouldn't be rocket science to build an effective travel mug...? I also dislike the metallic taste, but glass containers are not allowed for my work situation. I also have to place the mug in a bag with other items, like paperwork. I use the travel mugs for my high-end powdered organic green juice that I only mix with water, and is my convenient one meal replacement on the go during the day. The chlorophyll really stains everything, especially since all mixes do not dissolve, despite their statements they do. Which means before every sip, I have to shake the beverage, and the cap ends up wicking out quite a bit of unwanted leakage. (BTW, all plastic leaches into water, and all types, not just BPA, are eventually toxic for all life forms. Former environmental scientist here) I hadn't heard of an inside wall ceramic option, and with the stainless steel exterior, it would not present as a hazard. Aluminum is also a toxin and never a good metal to have direct contact with, much less use for drinking water. Because I have not been a television programming consumer for many years, I have relied on video channels like yours to do the IRL field testing. You are my fav for the exact replication of manufacturer claims and excellent documentation of testing conditions. I tip my safety goggles to you, sir.

[@4dslayer]

I need one

[@TheElictrik]

So true my ceramic mug taste better.. But didn't keep it hott.

[@annerohrbacker6097]

Hi! I'm trying to find out if one can put the RCMug in the microwave but I can't seem to find anything on that. Hmmm...

[@BloodStainedTear]

Anne Rohrbacker NO! It is metallic and cannot microwave it.. unless you like cool light shows inside your nuker

[@sarahfouss2408]

I hope you'll do the red copper square pan. it seems like a great product but I wana know how well it really works.

[@sirdukeusa3289]

Trust me, it doesn't hold up to the infomercial, it scratches easy, if you want to mix something in it, you have to do it by spatula by hand, not worth the money.

[@BloodStainedTear]

I Love mine!!

[@julietwilliams6067]

I got one for my birthday. I love it!!!

[@guydives1246]

Love the videos

[@sheshickey]

Soup, people. Soup..

[@Crazywaffle5150]

That is great because who in their right mind takes 6 hours to drink their coffee? lol. Or 12 hours to drink what ever iced drink they have? Maybe if it's liquor. but that would be down before 1 hour for me haha. Maybe even 5 min. Then I would have to top off!

[@haseenasheikh1905]

I also got a same mug from Kopperfactory.com

[@lorimitchell9025]

What is the name of your golden?

[@Freakinreviews]

I have two! My 2 year old Golden is Bailey. My 12 year old Golden is Daisy. Do you have one?

[@lorimitchell9025]

I used to. Mine passed last year in September. She was a blonde and she was rotten. My sister had one that was the mother of mine and I tell people that I had 2 because she lived with us allot. Storm was the mom and sunny was the one we had.

[@Freakinreviews]

Sorry to hear about your golden. They can be a handful, especially when they are young.

[@jpwcpa]

How much did the Red Copper Mug cost? Did you have to pay any shipping charges?

[@Freakinreviews]

I purchased it online at BulbHead before it was available in stores for $19.99 + $5 shipping. Lately I've seen it in stores such as Bed Bath & Beyond for about $20.

[@afterburner2869]

Your dog !!!😄👍🏻

[@GTVAlfaMan]

What exactly is on the bottom of the mug to make it tip proof? Is it a suction cup or what?

[@Freakinreviews]

It looks like a suction ring with holes in the center.

[@FormerRuling]

Old comment but in case someone is looking yes it's just suction and you'll notice the bottom has a little give to it, so that when you lift up the bottom moves and breaks the air seal.

[@ExpressionlessAnger]

Yes, it'sjust a suction cup, which means that it only works on non-porous very smooth surfaces. For example, it would not work on exposed wood or textured surfaces.

[@sherriwerner9889]

I love mine would buy more if I could fined them me and My husband fight to get it first

[@mildredpatterson965]

I L-O-V-E My Red Copper cup, I bought one for Christmas through Dr Leonard catalog for $9.99 and they no longer have it, 😣 I've been trying to find where I can purchase more can you please help

[@ExpressionlessAnger]

It's currently on sale for $8.99 with free s/h.

[@MasterofPlay7]

do you afraid that the lid is plastic and can leak toxic chemical to your drinks?

[@Freakinreviews]

No more than any other plastic lid or plastic cup.

[@BloodStainedTear]

MasterofPlay7 The lid is BPA free

[@dr.kumshidabalami7200]

Please where can I buy the red copper mug in bulk and ship it to Nigeria? Thanks

[@ThePinkPanth3r]

They are pretty ugly 2 me though. Great video though

[@damonmay7752]

Its justa mighty mug ripoff

[@richierich4017]

Punch the red copper mug

[@MattManProductions]

You know I have a yeti coffee mug, it keeps my coffee really hot for hours I do enjoy it, the problem is it stays to hot to drink sometimes. I should sue them like the lady did that order HOT COFFEE at McDonald's and it spilt on her and burned her, so I'm going to sue for burning my tongue and lips lol

[@chadpugh1490]

Love ur vids James but for some reason at 2:24 u kinda freaked me out with ur eyes. Weird.

[@Freakinreviews]

Hah, unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Not sure what that was!

[@nickhut]

i like the most of your reviews, but you should take the time to convert your measurements to metric/celcius.

[@ExpressionlessAnger]

Given that he is only reviewing products that are made for the American market, and only guaranteed to be sold in America, it's reasonable to assume that most viewers are American. For better or worse, most Americans don't know the metric system so there's no reason to include it. Those who need it can do their own conversions. I do the same when I read reviews from the UK.

[@nickhut]

​@@ExpressionlessAnger You do are assuming a lot of things, some of those are perfectly fine. But why would you think the products are only for the american market? I know for a fact that most of the 'as seen on TV' products are sold in Europe. I agree that most viewers are American, but why not think big? It's a small addition and would help Freakin' Reviews, I think James would love to have views from europe none the less...
