Vacuum insulated mugs are widely recognized for their ability to keep beverages hot for extended periods, utilizing a simple yet effective design: a double-walled stainless steel construction with a vacuum sealed space in between. This vacuum chamber prevents heat transfer, maintaining your coffee’s temperature. However, the BURNOUT Travel Mug Coffee Mug takes thermal technology a step further with its patented Dual Chamber Design and HeatZorb® technology, ensuring your coffee is not just hot, but perfectly drinkable, right away and for hours.
The secret lies in BURNOUT’s unique approach. Unlike conventional travel mug coffee mug designs, BURNOUT features a Dual Chamber Design crafted from three layers of premium 18/8 stainless steel. The outer chamber is vacuum-sealed, mirroring standard vacuum mugs, providing exceptional insulation from the external environment. The inner chamber, however, is where the magic happens. It’s filled with HeatZorb®, a revolutionary bio-based, wax-like material engineered to rapidly absorb and store heat from freshly brewed coffee. This innovative process quickly reduces the coffee’s temperature to the optimal drinking zone, approximately 140°F, within minutes.
HeatZorb® is a “phase change material” (PCM), expertly calibrated to transition from a solid to a liquid state at 140°F. This phase change is crucial; it’s at this precise temperature that HeatZorb® ceases heat absorption, signaling that your coffee has reached the perfect drinking temperature. Because the HeatZorb® chamber is strategically positioned between the vacuum insulation and your coffee, it acts as a thermal battery. Having stored significant thermal energy, HeatZorb® then slowly releases heat back into the coffee, maintaining it at that ideal drinking temperature for hours. This ingenious system eliminates the common problem of scalding hot coffee and extends the window of perfect coffee enjoyment significantly longer than standard travel mug coffee mug options.
Beyond its performance benefits in a travel mug coffee mug, HeatZorb® boasts impressive environmental and safety credentials. Derived from sustainable agricultural sources, HeatZorb® is certified bio-based by the USDA, confirming its commitment to renewable resources. It is also non-toxic and readily biodegradable, offering an environmentally responsible alternative to petroleum-based materials. Encased securely within the stainless-steel chamber, HeatZorb® is leak-proof and designed for longevity. It can reliably perform its melt-solidify heat transfer cycles thousands of times, ensuring consistent performance throughout the lifespan of your BURNOUT travel mug coffee mug.
