Why are the French Press Mugs not vacuum-insulated?
This is a great question. Although vacuum-insulation is amazing technology we decided that at some point it may be overkill. The French Press Mugs were a great example. The double-walled, 18/8 restaurant-grade, stainless steel alone provides incredible insulative properties. This by itself will keep your beverage piping hot for at least an hour and drinkably hot for roughly 2 1/2. Considering most people will have consumed their beverage well before 2 hours, it didn’t make a lot of sense to increase the price by adding the vacuum insulation properties. The Table-Tops and Vacuum Bottles however, are expected to retain heat for extended periods of time and at that point the vacuum insulation became a neccessity.
