Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like software, which I work with, product design sometimes needs more than one iteration to get things exactly right. So it was with the Double Shot mug, which I reviewed here based on the first edition, and which (while liking the concept very much) I had two basic problems with:
- The handle of the mug was held on with only a single rivet and broke off after about six months of use
- The French press lid didn't have a complete cover or closure - the filtered mouth was always open
I'm happy to report that version 2.0 of the Double Shot gets both of these things (and a few more I didn't point out) exactly right. The new handle may be riveted on behind the scenes, but is also secured with a pair of very visible and business-like screws; it's also got a closure for the French press lid just as it does for the regular coffee lid. In addition, the designers have added a couple of new helpful features:
- The "secret compartment" at the bottom and the container it conceals both have screw-on lids now instead of just popping off. This greatly reduces the incidence of coffee grounds flying everywhere (that lid is tight!)
- The handle now has a ring for a carabiner clip, allowing you to attach the mug to your backpack, bike or whatever. Hands-free coffee! (at least until you want to drink it)
In short, I'm very happy with the new version of the mug. Yes, the price point is still up there ($30), but if the current version proves to be as sturdy in other respects as its predecessor as well as having a longer-working handle, I won't be in the market for another travel mug for several years.
