Not an ordinary thermos for you

"I'm picking out a thermos for you...Not an ordinary thermos for you..."

If a thermos really does mean true love, then get The Jerk in your life one to keep coffee hotter longer, but not actually scald.

According to Jolex, its Brugo thermos has a chamber that adjusts your coffee to an ideal sipping temp before it reaches your lips. Double-walled insulation keeps the rest of the coffee hot, until your next sip.

The $20 Brugo coffee thermos, which comes in an array of colors, is also spill proof.

Book of Joe pointed out this handy gadget for coffee lovers. If it works, it's a smart coffee gadget for those who take it black and don't have the cooling perk of cream.

After ordering one and receiving two in the mail, I was thrilled. Only to be disappointed the next day with coffee dribbling all over my teeshirt in the Tip n Sip position. Really worthless.
