Brugo Coffee Mug

The ubiquitous coffee shop seems to be the most romantic in small business ideas here in Taiwan. In other countries I have travelled, people seem content with a small stand or cart where they whip up cheap coffee on par with the best of Maxwell house. Not here. A common scenario is one of the overworked engineer who finally finds a girlfriend and she convinces him to take a trip abroad. Instead of the common romantic trip to northern Japan they settle on a whirlwind tour of either Italy or the whole of Europe - in a week. Years later, married and bored, the engineer's company stock matures and he looks for a new business investment. Hours later, built on the expertise from visiting an authentic European cafe, and with a great deal of thought a coffee shop is born. Hence I like to take my own coffee with me when I travel around this industrious island. The perfect container for my coffee is the Brugo.

Insulated coffee mugs are almost as ubiquitous as the overpriced Taiwan coffee shop but with Brugo "you now have the power to immediately enjoy the most vibrant flavors at the perfect temperature. Brugo only cools each sip, keeping the remaining coffee hottest and most aromatic". It works as advertised.

Brugo.
