When I worked in an office, mason jars were a regular part of my commuter food world. I layered oats and yogurt into wide mouth pints for breakfast and I toted coffee in those discontinued pint and a half jars freezer jars that I love so much.
There’s one very large issue with drinking coffee from mason jar (particularly the taller ones that I like so much). The very significant risk of spillage. More than once, I nearly knocked over an open jar. A dangerous things when your work machine is a vulnerable laptop.
Though I work from home now, I still find myself reaching for an empty mason jar when it comes time for morning coffee or tea. Because of this habit, as well as the fact that I’m generally crazy for any new jar-related item (all in the interest of research), I ordered the Cuppow approximately 12 seconds after hearing about it.
For those of you out there who are wondering what the heck I’m talking about, here’s the scoop. Cuppow is a reusable (BPA free) plastic lid, designed to fit on a wide mouth mason jar. You use a standard ring to fasten it into place. It works equally well with wide mouth models of pint, pint and a half (if you can find them) and quart jars.
So far, I love everything about this product, from the eye-pleasing, letter press packaging to the heft and feel of the Cuppow itself. I spent the morning using mine to drink my milky tea (coffee and I are on a break right now) and it performs exactly as I hoped it would.
It offers a similar drinking experience to that which you have with a disposal Starbucks cup, down to the slight whistle from the vent hole on the opposite side. No leaking, no mess and far less risk of spilling all over my workspace.
There is one issue when you use a mason jar for hot liquids. That is the inevitable heat transfer to your hand. Because I’ve been using jars for coffee and tea for years now, I have a small stash of hand knit and crocheted cozies from a few of my readers to slip around my jars. However, you don’t have to get something so fancy. A clean, orphaned sock would also do the job nicely.
Because I asked nicely, the guys at Cuppow have given me one (1) of these mason jar lids to give away to a Food in Jars reader. Here’s what to do for a chance to win.

I enjoy hot tea in the morning. I make some every day in my electric kettle and refill it throughout the day.
It’s usually hot down here, so I like cold drinks in the morning. My favorite is iced coffee.
Why not just have the hubby drill a hole in a regular lid. Then use a straw?
oooh no straws in hot beverages for this girl!
I use canning jars for everything, so now I’m sad about the lack of the pint and a half jars for toting iced coffee, which is the best beverage EVER.
I *have* to have my morning coffee. Not for the caffeine, but for sipping the flavor and the heat.
I drink hot coffee from a 1qt Mason jar. This would change my life.
I start every day–and I mean EVERY DAY–with iced tea in a Mason jar. Coffee may or may not follow.
I just saw the Cuppow on Pinterest and I’m very intrigued. For my routine, I swing back and forth between French press black coffee and English Breakfast tea (with sugar). But no Folgers at the office!
I love a cup of warm green tea in the morning!
I’m a coffee man. A two-thermos coffee man. When I foolishly left my empty thermos at a friend’s house, I turned to the canning supplies and brought my coffee in 2 quart jars wrapped in dish towels to hold in the heat.
I quit caffeine cold turkey about 4 years ago, but I often drink apple cider first thing in the morning. We buy gallons and gallons at the farmers market in season and freeze it, then thaw a gallon in the fridge when we’re running out!
This time of year, my morning beverage is often a smoothie made with yogurt, peaches I canned last summer (69 quarts of them!), green powder, a little maple syrup. I love to drink it from my wide mouth canning jars…but I need to be careful not to spill it all over my face!
I love iced coffee with milk in it for my mornings!
Nice hot sweet tea, pretty in a glass jar, would begin my day with a smile. Great invention, and for travel.
I love my morning coffee.. super strong with Cream Brulee coffeemate. Better if it’s outdoors watching my garden grow.
Hot coffee, morning, noon, and night! I love jars…. although I have to say that I’ve never thought of using them for coffee. Right now my antique jars hold my marbles lol. I love this idea!!! I would love to try out the new lid too :0)
I love coffee but hate using the cheap insulated mugs that don’t last, hold onto the coffee flavor (even if you switch to herbal tea), and scare me, frankly…. PLEASE LET ME WIN:)
oh man, I love accessories for my canning jars.
I would definitely use this. I already have a few jar cozies on hand.
Cold-brewed coffee with lots of milk is my preference, sometimes cold, sometimes warmed up…always tasty.
this is awesome and going directly to pinterest!
coffee is a must-have in the mornings – hot, and from a french press, please.
I have to have hot coffee in the morning. My husband makes it for me most mornings and he’s not even a coffee drinker which makes it all the more special! I drink coffee in cold weather and hot weather, although cold weather makes it taste all the better. I almost always leave home toting coffee in a travel mug for lack of anything better. I would love to try the cuppow.
Lemon water or a double espresso or both or tea and an caffeine withdrawal headache.
Oh man! I totally want one of these! I drink coffee some mornings, tea others, depending on how tired I am: coffee requires more attention because I use a drippy doo dad that sits on the mug.
1 cup of hot coffee with Hazelnut cream and sugar to get my day started…sometimes in the afternoon when feeling sluggish, I’ll ice one up..Mmmm
I’m a chai drinker, or tea.I tried so hard to like coffee…it smells so good, but the taste…ick. I like a nice hot chai on a cold morning or a cold chai, or maybe a thai tea, on a hot summer day.
I prefer morning drinks cold (like iced tea or coffee) or often put fresh squeezed orange juice in my travel mug! Would love to win one of these
I drink (too much) coffee with a splash of unsweetened soy milk. I usually drink the first half out of a ceramic mug (one that fits in my car’s cup holder) and the rest from a mason jar that gets thrown in my work bag. Regardless of what I’m drinking from, I spill about 50% of the time, but I’d like to think the Cuppow would help with that…
It used to always be tea but my poor sleep habits as of late have me drinking coffee every morning. Thank goodness for my Tassimo and thank goodness mason jars fit under it!
First thing in the morning is I make Coffee. Has to be hot because I am freezing upon returning from the outside with my two Dogs.
some nice, hot, french-press coffee!
when the weather is warmer, a glass of orange juice or a fruit and yogurt smoothie.
My hubby makes my coffee for me every morning and he puts the exact right amount of cream & sugar. When I’m forced to make it, I end up over sweetening it. Anyhow, I have an unnatural love affair with canning jars but I don’t usually drink out of them because the thick thread rim bothers me. A cuppow would make me a happy lady since we have a ton of canning jars and only a handful of coffee mugs that haven’t yet been broken.
I drink water in the morning, pretty boring. My husband though could use something like this for his iced coffee, which he takes to work each afternoon and in a Ball jar usually.
My morning ritual really does include drinking cowboy coffee out of a mason jar!!! Our coffee maker broke and we have never bothered to buy a new one as our enamelware camp coffee pot did such a wonderful job brewing us up some great coffee!!!! And I tell you, it seems that when you go into meetings drinking cowboy coffee out of a mason jar (with a few grounds in the bottom!!) people know you mean business!!!
I usually just drink water in the AM (hate coffee), but when I need a little kick, my go to beverage of choice is fresh, home-made unsweetened iced tea. I make big batches and go through it in no time.
I drink about a zillion cups of hot tea with milk and too much sugar every morning.
I LOVE hot tea in the morning. Kona coffee used to be my vice until I started a 30 day detox plan that restricted caffeine, so Stash decaf herbal tea took the place of my beloved coffee. I’ve been known to drink anything from oj to mixed drinks and wine from a mason jar! I love this idea!
Each morning I brew a few cups of coffee and drink them while watching my kiddo play. I have a big mason jar that I use, but I have to set it on the mantle so that it doesn’t get knocked over. This would be amazing! Sometimes I skip the coffee and drink loose tea or a ginger/lemon hot water infusion, but the day just isn’t the same with out a hot drink.
I am a hot, sweet, milky tea drinker. Every once in a while I go with coffee instead, but most days it’s tea. I generally go for fruit flavored black teas.
I drink my coffee hot with homemade creamer in winter, and cold-brewed with ice and milk in summer! Coffee has to happen before anything else.
First two things I do in the morning are turn on the radio and start boiling water for a strong cup of coffee. Half and half, no sugar.
How cool is that?! I have a knitted cozy for my jar, but a drinking lid would make it so much more convenient.
As for a morning ritual. I wish I had one, but I homeschool two young kids, so mornings are usually chaotic. If I did have a ritual, it would be to drink a much of herbal chai while putting my feet up and listening to the frogs in the pond! Ahhh.
I like having something different every morning — from chai to caffeinated tea to herb tea to Toddy coffee to stovetop espresso to milk to OJ. It’s one way I can get *exactly* what I want once or twice a day
It is not uncommon to find me drinking from a canning jar. Whether it be my coffee in the morning or anything else that I choose to consume durring the day. With 3 teenage boys at home it sometimes hard to find a glass or should I say a clean one. It sure would be nice to have a device like this to keep my shirt clean while drinking from a canning jar. I would also be interested in a pattern that you used for you jar huggies, i’ve never seen anything like them before.
I love to drink hot chocolate in the morning with pear vanilla jam on wheat toast. Yum!
Coffee…whoever gets up first makes it & brings a cup to the other. I’ve never thought of using a jar for it.
for years i’ve been using mason jars for coffee (and for years i’ve been telling myself i’ll knit a coozy!) every morning, i fill a pint-mason jar with french press coffee and a touch of milk and screw on the lid to take to the car – which i inevitably try and manage while driving to work… and usually end up spilling somewhere on myself in the process! so, yeah. this little lid would be a life saver!
I love hot tea in the morning. I do use a Mason Jar often, which can get tricky to screw on and off while on the go. This would be perfect!
Depends on the weather. If it is a cool day, than it is hot coffee. If it is a hot day here in S Louisiana. Its an ice cold diet dr pepper. lol
I start every morning with a quart mason of water, sometimes with chia in it. Then I have tea – I try for hot but with two little ones, that rarely happens! I love the cozies you have up there and now I think I need to knit myself a few
. I would love to win this lid so my morning drink would be less vulnerable to the monsters 
Hot Coffee with a generous amount of skim milk added =)
It’s winter in Montana. HOT Coffee is the only way to start the day here! [Come Summer, I sing a different tune - Iced Tea to wake me up (followed by hot coffee)
]
I started drinking black coffee every morning when I was nine, and have rarely missed a day in the past 20yrs. Even my toddler knows it’s the very first part if our morning ritual.
Oh! That would be perfect for the second cup which I take on the train!
Holy cow, This solves so many, many of my problems. Fantastic reporting!! I love this blog!!
My morning ritual starts healthy with green tea, then veers toward a vanilla or hazelnut latte, iced if it’s warm out!
I drink hot chai tea every morning and I absolutely LOVE this!
Hot, black coffee, usually in a travel mug, but I’d rather it be a jar.
I like roobois tea with a splash of coconut milk and sometimes some stevia. Or Aveda comfort tea. I so miss coffee- gave it up last year because of a little insomnia problem. I do enjoy sleeping again!
Coffee, two cups. That’s my limit.
I need my coffee fix in the mornings, and one of my grandmother’s hand me down mason jars is wonderful. Making it easily portable would be perfect.
The first thing I do when I wake up is head to the kitchen and make coffee. Hot and with cream please and a little bite of dark chocolate on the side. With a hot cup of morning joy in my hands I head to my favorite chair and enjoy the quiet of the morning.
What a wonderful idea!
Coffee, cream and sugar, or just creamer.
Made in an old Pyrex coffee maker found at a goodwill.
I drink a cup of warm green tea & I add a packet of dried ginseng . I have the little canning jars which make for a nice strong cup.
Black coffee, here. I’d feel a lot better about drinking it from a glass jar than a plastic commuter mug.
OH!!! I’ve got to get one of these! Hubby and I both drink hot coffee in the morning… mine with hot chocolate mixed in! oh momma!
I am a dedicated chai latte person in the morning. Sometimes I change it up a bit with lemongrass or chamomile tea, but chai is my weakness. I love the warmth.
And now I *must* knit cozies for my canning jars! Thanks for that.
Lots of tea.. black and herbal all day long. Espresso when necessary!
I love coffee and tea (especially Zhena’s Gypsy Rose tea) and would gladly drink both all day, iced or hot. It’s one of the things I’m looking forward to once I have my baby in the spring because this one caffeinated beverage a day thing is driving me bonkers!
I have to have my coffee, hot and black. I make my coffee with a single-cup ceramic euro coffee dripper that I got at World Market and LOVE! In the summer I make cold-brewed coffee and drink it iced.
Yorkshire Gold black tea with milk, every morning.
I like my coffee flavored with pumpkin and cinnamon, dessert for breakast!
I feel a little guilty commenting since I just ordered two of these the other day, one for me and one as a gift for a friend. I am currently knitting cozies while I wait for them to arrive. If I won that would be another gift for another luck friend I guess.
My morning beverage is coffee for sure. I use a hand crank camano grinder and the pour over method. I don’t do anything else until I have had my first sip of coffee. In fact I’m pretty sure I make coffee in my sleep.
I like my coffee with cream and sugar…. I just don’t like to work too hard at it I definitely don’t wanna have to work too hard! I’ve never heard of the product, but love it!
The 2nd thing I do every morning is drowsily stumble into the kitchen, fumble for the light and start my tea kettle and wait for the wonderful whistle that tells me that it’s time to start my morning. I am a milky, sweet super black tea drinker. My favorite beverage holder is of course a unique wide mouth mason that I have only one of. If you were to look in my cupboards you’d see more jars then real cups. And like you I’m always searching for a way to integrate more mason jars into my life! =)
My local cofee shop makes a version of a bibicaffe that I adore in the AM. It’s a carbonated toddy coffee with vanilla or cinammon, slightly sweetened. Like a cofee soda. Bubbles and caffeine, but not cola w/ its scary chemicals. Yum.
i go back and forth between oolong and chamomile and speramint teas.
I don’t necessarily drink caffeine first thing in the morning, but I do love a good smoothie!
I’m a chai or chai latte girl myself. There’s something so warming about the flavor!
First, a long espresso with real cream in a porcelain cup with a saucer. Then, a longer espresso with real cream in a travel mug to go to the office.
What a brilliant idea!
I occasionally drink coffee in the morning when I am in the office, but I ALWAYS drink coffee when I am on the road for work.
My morning ritual: Summon every available ounce of willpower and energy to pull myself from bed, and shuffle into the kitchen. Measure coffee (38 g, no more no less) and grind. While the grinder runs, start the electric kettle. Empty grinder into the french press, by which time the water has come to a boil. Add the boiling water to the french press, give it a stir, cover, and set a timer for 4 minutes. Count the seconds. When the coffee is ready, pour and add a bit of cream, just enough to lessen the harshness. Drink, and slowly begin to feel like a human being.
The Cuppow looks like a great idea, and plan to buy one (assuming I don’t win the giveaway, of course)
Start with a smoothie in a wide mouth mason jar, chased with a hot coffee!
Love it! In the summer I drink my iced coffees and sweet teas from sweaty mason jars
I drink organic green jasmine tea in the morning. The delicate scent of jasmine helps me wake up gently. I would love to find out about the crocheted jar holders. They’re beautiful!
Those are stinking adorable!!! I love my strong coffee with cream yummmmmm.
I must have a diet coke in the morning
I tend to drink soda morning to night. I have not met a coffee or tea that I liked. Sometimes I’ll drink hot chocolate.
I was so excited when I saw this!! Such a smart idea. I’m an iced latte person, 2 a day, ever day. And I’m going to need to keep a cookie if I win, since now I only use my airs for cold drinks.
what a handy gadget
I sometimes drink coffee in the morning. hot or cold. usually decaf, but sometimes not. in the summer its always cold.
Tea generally, mixing green with lemongrass is my favorite
A keurig coffee if i’m at my boyfriends though
I am super lucky that the bakery with the best coffee in my city is right next door to my flower shop, so my days start with a cup of black organic coffee. Since I haven’t quite convinced the bakery owners to install a spigot to my side of the wall for coffee refills I think I’m going to adopt a cozy covered mason jar for transport. I already use them for everything else.
For the summer and fall I successfully favored green tea over coffee for my mornings, noons, and nights. My coffee habit returned with a vengeance along with the snow.
I’m a coffee disciple. I wake up, hit the electric kettle, THEN go to the bathroom. My coffee is made in a Clever Coffee Dripper and I use whole raw cream in it. It is glorious stuff, and I would love to be able to pack it around in a mason jar!
I am super excited about this! I can’t wait to try it! I am a tea drinker, only herbal. I, sadly, have been banned from caffeine for the time being. I love a nice Rooibos with maybe vanilla or chicory in the morning.
Earl Grey tea in a mason jar! I would LOVE one of these!!
Coffee, hot with vanilla creamer.
I make “lattes” with a cup of Keurig coffee and a nearly equal but somewhat less amount of vanilla soymilk. Yum!
I like a cup of boiling water most mornings-a bit odd, maybe, but I like the warmth without the caffeine.
Home-roasted coffee, and lots of it!
I drink a green smoothie every morning. Milk, flax seed, coconut oil, spirulina, spinach, yogurt, bananas, peanut butter, and strawberries. Yum!
In the cooler months I have to have my coffee hot but when it’s warm the coffee has to be cold. I just recently saw the cuppow’s on another site, would love to win one.
Hot coffee with lots of milk!
I am coffee either hot or cold BUT it must have cream & sugar!
I prefer mine iced and coffee!! Need a little pick me up to get going! I would love one of these!!
Wow…all this time I thought drinking (soda, lemonade, cold tea) from canning jars was an Indiana thing! I’m excited that Hoosiers aren’t the only ones hip to this clever trick! I’ve nearly always worked with animals, so my morning tea absolutely must have a lid to avoid the double threat of clumsy morning me and rambunctious critters. This would make it completely possible to prevent spills AND be like all the rest of the cool kids around here!!
I like coffee with my milk
nothing like a fresh pot in the morning followed by iced coffee in the afternoon!
Iced coffee! 3 shots over ice with sugar free vanilla. Can’t wait to order a Cuppow – I can’t drink anything but water out of a wide mouth jar because I make such a mess with it.
I just saw these lids on Pinterest and love them! My morning beverage is hot, french-pressed coffee with a little milk and sweetener. It gets my day off to a good start!
the current breakfast beverage of choice is hot chocolate. can it ever have too many mini marshmallows? i think not.
Hot green tea for me!
Decaf iced cold brewed coffee with a generous amount of 1% milk. I store my coffee concentrate in a quart jar since I’m the only one in the house that can’t do caffeine. The Keurig that my husband got me a few years ago (since I couldn’t join in the pot of brewed coffee everyone else drank) now services the coffee needs of the household. I gave up using it because my decaf stash would get raided if we ran low on regular coffee.
There’s a lot of hot tea in my life. Almost all of it is black tea, some green, and some oolong. I keep herbal stuff in my house, but that’s mostly for company.
I used to be pretty casual in my brewing. When I had a studio apartment, I refused to dedicate space to either a tea kettle or a teapot, so it was all in a 1 quart saucepan on the range. Now, I have a couple teapots – including one a friend made me (in her very first pottery class, no less) that brews exactly the perfect amount for one large ceramic mug. And then I went and fell in love with a tea that wants to be brewed for exactly three minutes, so now I put I timer on when I steep. And it’s really gotten rather classy around here. I feel a bit shamefaced about that.
Coffee, black, hot.
I have recently switched from coffee to herbal tea in the morning, my favorite being lemon because of its slight tanginess.
Iced coffee with milk every morning! Or if I’m feeling randy I’ll have milky & sweet Irish Breakfast tea
I have a bad habit of drinking a diet soda first thing in the morning, then it’s on to coffee! I remember by travel mug most of the time, but hate using the plastic. I have some favorite hand thrown ceramic mugs at home. I love using jars, but right now most of mine are used for feeding poultry
Hot tea, first thing when I get to work. Only way to start the day!
Great idea! I drink green smoothies every morning. I’ll have to try one.
And glad to read they are BPA free!
Hot coffee with cream and sugar PLEASE!!!!!!
Nice cozies! My morning beverage is coffee. Hot, strong coffee. mmmmmm.
My morning ritual is fruit smoothies. I spend the summer picking berries of all varieties. What I don’t eat, can or cobbler gets frozen and used for smoothies. I usually use juice or water, and ground flax seed and my magic bullet. voila, instant breakfast/wake me up!
I’ve been dying to try this ever since I first saw it!
First thing in the morning, coffee, hot. Very hot.
I make a quart mason jar of raspberry leaf/nettle/oat straw tea every morning, drink some of it hot, and then pop the rest in the fridge to drink cold later in the day!
I followed your recipe for iced coffee, it’s so delicious!! Makes my mornings brighter, even in colder weather, I find iced coffee/tea refreshing all year round. I’ve been trying to obtain a cuppow for months but haven’t found a site that ships to Canada yet. one day
OMG the Cuppow is so cool! And ALL of my jars are wide mouth. I am a recovering Pepsi-holic which has boosted my tea consumption. My favorites are iced tea made from a mix of Tazo Om (for a hint of cucumber & peach flavor) and regular black tea or hot black tea with lemon peel in the brew (TeaSource, please bring this back, I’m almost out!).
Hooray! The pride of Somerville MA! Cuppow was designed literally right down the street from me. Nice work guys. And for morning bevies, it’s coffee for me every morning. An americano to be precise.
I normally grab a quart glass of cold water or iced tea from the fridge! I use regular mouth jars to keep curious kitties from sampling my drink.
My less-than-healthy routine is two cups of coffee a day… each w/ a shot of espresso. Gets me through to my afternoon Diet Coke.
I usually drink coffee with milk and sugar in the morning, but lately i’ve been swapping in tea instead. I love using my jars as drinking glasses, and I’m really eager to give the cuppow a shot!
Earl gray tea in my Chinese mug. Not piping hot, with 2 Splendas and a tiny splash of milk, please
I’d love to drink my cuppa out of one of these!
Fantastic! And what a perfect name! I drink my coffee on the bus in route to work, from a broken mug. Definitely time for a change. Thanks!
I like coffee from my french press, but I reallllly love iced coffee with vanilla syrup. Sometimes I make a shake with almond milk, instant coffee, ice cubes and syrup. yum!
Such an awesome idea (I just drilled a hole in a plastic storage cap)!
I’m a coffee drinker. I set the machine the night before so I don’t have to fumble around in my haze in the morning.
I have to have my morning coffee — the hotter and stronger the better! Tea just doesn’t do it for me before noon, although I love it in the evening.
I drink coffee in the morning – way too much. Rinse out pot & filter, grind beans, pour water, make a couple of tablespoons of strong hot cocoa while waiting for the coffee to brew, add coffee to cocoa, fight off 4-year old until the caffeine kicks in.
Coffee doesn’t seem to like me much anymore so I’m trying to switch to tea with varying success. I’d say hot but with twin toddlers in the house and two older boys too – generally it’s pretty icy by the time I get to it.
Coffee I make AT HOME! I like some powdered hot chocolate (that I make myself) in it with some half and half. and some Toast!
I love coffee, but am weaning off of it into tea. I love my hot beverages! The Cuppow is something I just became aware of, and am in love! What a great idea : ) I love bringing my lunch foods in canning jars; soups, salads, yogurt, dry snacks, everything. So versatile and they look cool too. Great blog, keep up the good work!
Hot coffee! Always. At least two cups before I bring my daughter to school. Hopefully, one leisurely one, once I get home!
This is so cool!
When drinking from home I drink coffee or tea (strong, english breakfast, irish breakfast).
But I’m a Seattle gal, and get my coffee from one of the many many take-out coffee joints in town many days. And in that case I drink a single shot 16 oz iced mocha. I regularly bring my own cup and would love to see the look on my barista’s face when I hand them a Mason Jar!
I like coffee, a warm cup of coffee. It’s COLD up here in RI so it’s a nice way to get outta bed.
It really depends on my mood and the time of year. I relish hot coffee on winter mornings just as much as cold coffee in the summer.
Morning beverage ritual: kefir smoothies with lots of frozen fruit blended in.
I have to say, the Cuppow looks amazing! I have almost completely cut caffeine out of my diet, so my morning ritual is water-I aim for 8 glasses a day, and I normally achieve that goal. Canning jars would be an easy way to count my glasses of water, and the Cuppow would be so helpful in not allowing me to spill it during my commute.
I have to have my coffee on cold winter mornings! I like it hot, sweet (two spoonfuls of sugar), and on the milky side (two scoops of powdered milk — tip: if you use superfine powder, like Sanalac, you get foam! Much cheaper than buying the powdered cappuccino in those little tins.)
In the summertime, an ice-cold Coke or tea takes the place of the coffee. I looooove iced tea.
my husband loves the pint and half mason jars for his muscle milk every day. would love to have the cuppow. i was just showing him a pic of ‘em yesterday. by the way…someone on my canning group said that ball might start making the pint n half jars again due to increased interest in that size. hope so
Some mornings it’s a spinach-apple-banana smoothie, some mornings it’s hot black tea, and some mornings it’s hot chamomile tea. I especially love brewing an entire teapot of tea and letting it sit on my teapot warmer so I can pour myself hot cuppas all morning long. So glad to hear that you like the Cuppow–I’ve been seeing it crop up everywhere, and it’s such a nifty product!
Hot coffee with chocolate soy milk. Starting back at work next week, sure could use this for a mid-morning pick me up!
Hot, fair trade , organic. ( with a little sugar.)
I think this is the coolest idea ever. I usually have a soda in the morning, but I love tea in the afternoon. My mom is a huge coffee drinker, and she recently started canning as well and has about a million jar around, so I know she’d love one of these.
A true Southerner, I had Coke for breakfast every day until my doctors told me to cut out the caffeine. So now it’s ginger ale.
I either drink an ice cold glass of raw milk or a hot cup of one of my K cups. Just depends on how I feel in the morning. I love my Keurig!
Right now, french press with a splash of milk and a dollop of honey. Except on payday Fridays when I treat myself with a visit to the barista.
this is a SUPER great idea,wish i thought of it! i DO use mason jars for EVERYTHING, but DO end up spilling on myself while trying to “drink and drive”,coffee,of course,with ORGANIC cream and agave!!!
I like hot chocolate in the morning in winter, and orange juice or a smoothie in the summer.
Tea!! with a big stick of cinnamon and cloves! YUM. love my tea!
my am aromatherapy ritual is hot milky earl grey tea w/ honey.
Hot coffee, with milk and honey.
Hot tea in a variety of forms/flavors is my usual beverage but I’ve been using recycled glass kombucha bottles since everything tastes better in glass and I’m a prolific spiller. This would be so much better! I also knit, and a cozy is definitely now on my to-do list. Tea has also been my constant companion since becoming pregnant and now my other mommy friends are recommending new teas to use with each trimester.
Hot coffee with sugar free French vanilla creamer.
Coffee, always and forever
sometimes a juice as well.
I cold brew my coffee overnight and then fill the pint size mason jar with coffee and cream. I love it this way!!
I LOVE this! It would make my quart jar of ice tea so much safer!!
Tea weekdays and coffee as a weekend treat.
I’m an iced coffee girl through and through, but I’ve been known to drink it hot on more than one occasion!
The Cuppow looks sweet! Love the jar cozies too
I have a 4 week old baby and I tried to avoid most caffeine during my pregnancy ( I still drank either coffee or tea every day) but now that he’s here, that first cup of a hot, caffeinated beverage in the morning is critical, especially after those nights of only 2 hours of sleep! I’d love to win the Cuppow!
I usually always have a cup of hot coffee (cream, no sugar), or hot tea (cream and/or sugar depends on what type). I’m not one that has to have multiple cups throughout the day – I’m good with a cup of coffee in the morning and that it’s it. There’s something about tea though that begs to be imbibed throughout the day and with any variety of yummies.
I drink water. Lots of it. Usually accompanied by cereal swimming in about 2 cups of milk. When I first met my husband’s grandmother, after learning that I didn’t drink tea or coffee, she asked “So what DO you drink???,” as if water were a strange thing to drink in the morning. =)
I’m a skim milk kinda girl but will occasionally take a travel mug of hot tea with me to work. I love the smell of coffee but just can’t stand the taste. Certainly has saved me lots of money over the years since I’m not a coffee drinker!
I drink a green smoothie every morning on my way to work. I have lots of Mason jars that would love to have a cuppow on top of them!
Love that little contraption! I drink a pint-jar full of chocolate soy milk every morning. Lots of protein with the sugar and of course, CHOCOLATE!
What a great idea! I always bring a mason jar full of freshly made iced tea into work daily.
Morning ritual: hot tea
organic FT loose leaf hot teas – all day, all night (no joke – I usually steep my final pot of tea just before bed and have a tumbler of tea at bedside) Hubby jokes that I can not leave the house without a travel mug of tea.
[...] lid that fits on top of a wide-mouth jar. I bought one and am entirely smitten. There’s a giveaway happening at FiJ right now, should you want a chance to win one for yourself. This entry was [...]
I love this!!! I would totally use it. Hot or cold beverage.
I start every day with a quart jar of strong black iced tea.
I drink hot coffee in the morning and hot tea all afternoon. I also frequently transport a protein drink for breakfast in a jar.
So glad you reviewed these! I’ve seen the Cuppow online a couple times now and have been so tempted. I think that now I definitely have to get one!
My morning usually starts out with a cup of coffee or tea, both served with half ‘n half. The coffee gets a dash of Darigold hazelnut creamer, the tea with a tiny bit of sugar. Which one I choose depends entirely upon my mood when I get up. Either way, caffeine is a necessity.
Stovetop espresso is my morning beverage of choice, with a little raw sugar and a splash of half & half. Sooo delicious!
Water, and lots of it! I’d be thrilled to ditch my water bottle in favor of a mason jar!
Egg white protein shake with coconut milk and cacao nibs.
I have either a coffee substitute (I so love Teeccino!), or red (or green) rooibos tea; hot as usual. It’s always great, with a bit of Agave Nectar or Honey!
gotta start my day off with coffee….
My husband would use this. He drinks water in quart jars at work. He even brings it to church. What looks and comments he gets. Moonshine? No, water!
I prefer HOT coffee with milk and organic agave. I may try to make myself a felt mason jar cozy… cute!
I’ve been drinking out of Mason jars for years, as have most of my friends and coworkers. Being a crafty bunch, cozies were quick to appear on the scene and I thought to myself “if only they made a lid like a travel mug for the jars!” While I’m sad I won’t be reaping any rewards for having invented it, I am thrilled somebody got around to it. I’m a little too sensitive to caffeine to have it every morning, so most days I like a steaming pint of hot herbal tea, or a barley “coffee” with cream. On the rare extraordinary morning a super-bergamot-y Earl Grey tea with cream is a superb treat, or, in the case of uber-special days, home-brewed espresso with milk and cream.
Decaf coffee w/Splenda & fat free 1/2 n 1/2….usually two cups gets me rolling!
Cool idea. Always looking for ways to repurpose jars not currently full of put-up goodies. My morning joe — made using my beloved AeroPress — goes straight into a thermal mug pre-loaded (halfway) with hot milk. Then I take the mug (and my dog) for a walk. Cheers.
I have a big ol’ mason jar of local, organic, whole, non-homogenized milk to go with my pancakes or baked oatmeal. Delish!
I prefer a cup of warm green tea with honey.
I drink coffee and tea. Both hot and cold. All day long. Never out of a mason jar. Yet.
Love the idea of this lid!!! I love coffee hot in the a.m.; whether decaf, 1/2 caf or full leaded, hot means I wake up!! Cold is later……
Ohhh, neat cup!
I’d love to have some hot coffee, iced coffee, milky tea, or even warm lemonade in a mason jar!
My all the time beverage is water – I love the stuff! I have tried for years to like tea, but I can’t get into it.
When I was a Chef, mornings were 4 or 5 cups of espresso when I hit the kitchen. However after my heart attack, I have to just enjoy a nice cup of tea in the garden or wood shop
Still have one every now and then but it does not play nice with the pace maker. :-0
My favorite thing to drink from a mason jar is homemade iced coffee. My banana milkshakes are second, followed by water. But I love tea, coffee, juice, milk…. everything tastes good in a mason jar : )
I am interested to hear more of your husband’s carbonated caffeine ritual! I enjoy tea especially a London Fog which is black tea, steamed milk, and honey or vanilla syrup. I adore my Cuisanart electric kettle which heats water to the proper temperature for white tea, black tea, French press coffee, and herbal tea..
I drink 30 oz of hot tea on the way to work in the winter, and smoothie in the summer! Then I worry all day about spilling my water/tea/juice on myself or the computer during the day. This would save my large mugs from the damage inflicted on the daily drive, as well as my messy problem of cleaning up the repeated spills!! This produuct would be a godsend!

I gotta have my coffee, sweet and warm with creamer first thing. None at the office out of the yucky never cleaned pot, so it’s hot or iced ( depending on the weather) herbal, green or black tea with honey and lemon. Should I gloat and say, since I’ve been canning forever, that I have a stash of the pint and a half jars–wish, wish they would start making them again since that size is the best ever. Also I’m going to look for a cozy pattern for my drinking jars, what a neat idea.
I drink coffee hot in the morning & decaf chai in the afternoon!
cuop’o joe with milk…decaf..in a jar! yay for this company!
Hot coffee, with just a splash of half’n'half or whipping cream.
I try to drink a green tea with lemon and elderberry syrup first for digestive reasons but if I’m struggling it’s a coffee first I’d say 50/50 these days. Although with almost 6 kids it might change to 70/30 coffee winning!
I saw this new cuppow a few wks ago but saw shipping and was a bit turned off.
My morning beverage of choice is hot coffee. I can’t imagine life without coffee! In the summer, my husband stops drinking hot coffee, but he gets up every morning to make it for me anyway.
Coffee all the way! I adore cold brewed coffee with lots of ice, milk and sugar or stevia. If it’s seriously cold out, I’ll switch to hot coffee. I usually commute with iced coffee in a jar, but I’d love a cuppow to make my life easier.
I love taking a jar of sweet iced tea to class… keeps me awake!
Sweet and Spicy tea!
My morning ritual is seasonal like everything else! I drink plain hot tea with breakfast at home and fill a travel mug for the morning commute right now. In the summer I make big pitchers of cold tea for home, and I usually brew something hot in a mason jar and then pop it straight in the fridge to cool down for the following day’s commute.
I’m a hot cocoa drinker in the morning and evening, sometines I enjoy coffee with my cocoa. The cup looks interesting, this is the first I have heard of it, would like to try it, it looks like a nice idea.
I drink herbal tea all day long………and even in the evening…….tea for me
I have tea every morning- hot in the winter, usually Earl Grey, and usually iced in the heat of the summer. It’s always sweetened with a bit of local honey
.
My hot beverage of choice right now it’s Constant Comment, but in the summer I like peppermint tea. Ball jars fit perfectly into the cup holders of my car, cuppow would be perfect!
Almost every day of the year I drink hot black coffee with no sugar or milk. The only exception made for the milk and sugar is homemade chai.
Vanilla latte with homemade vanilla syrup!
Wintertime: a big mug of English or Irish breakfast, no sugar
Summertime: A large glass of strong iced tea, sometimes an Arnold Palmer.
I have been known to have a pint of cold brew coffee in a “fruit jar” or a bit of vino in a tiny half pint!
Hot coffee every morning and through out the day! I love this lid idea!
I am a rabid hot tea drinker! I have a minimum of 32 ounces before I leave the house each morning, and usually take another 32 with me in travel containers!
I am a coffee lover. I prefer a latte but coffee is more likely my beverage of choice. I take my green juice in mason jars every morning and LOVE the idea of these little guys!! Love your blog I am a recent convert to the world of mason jars and canning!
I start with a hot cup of green tea. Then follow with a cafe au lait containing a shot of espresso.
The first thing I do in the morning is grind recently roasted coffee beans. Then brew a pot of hot coffee. I sweeten with pure organic maple syrup. Hot in the winter and over ice in the summer. In a mason jar of course. I like those hand knit/crocheted cozies .
coffee at work. with cream.
tea. and then coffee. and then more coffee.
My cozy morning drink is strong tulsi chai with LOTS of fresh raw cream and local honey… my {this drink is going to have to keep me going until lunchtime} drink is a coconut milk smoothie with whatever frozen fruit I have on hand! Love the knitted cozies!
A hazelnut latte (usually hot) brewed in my moka pot with fair trade coffee. Thank you Marisa for Food in Jars! You inspire me.
Some mornings coffee, and some mornings tea, but always something hot. And always more tea, later, at work.
I love my hot coffee in the morning and hot tea in the afternoon, especially during this chilly, blustery winter in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for sharing the cuppow!
Ooo! This is just the cutest thing ever. Would be beyond perfect for me. My fiance and I love our morning tea.
Drinking my favourite tea, a green rooibos with cranberry and algae, out of a mason jar with this lid, sounds fantastic. It would definitely warm my hands right up.
In the winter, it’s a nice cup of hot coffee from the Keurig- loaded with cream and sugar. During the afternoon, it’s English Grey or English Teatime with milk and sugar. In the summer, it’s iced coffee and iced tea. The Mason Jar was the crystal of my youth. The Cuppow just ups the Cool Factor! Thanks for the chance to win!
I drink hot coffee in the morning. One cup to sip and savor as I eat breakfast while reading my favorite blogs. Another cup to-go in a reusable mug that I take with me to work. I love using mason jars for cold beverages around the house, and I’ve been curious to see how well the cuppow works.
This is such a freakin’ awesome giveaway. I’m a morning coffee drinker- without a doubt (I live in Seattle after all) but love a cuppa Earl Grey in the afternoon…and on nights when its so chilly our floor is cold some mexican hot chocolate gets me.
I don’t function without my two cups of coffee in the morning. I would love these lids — and the super cute cozies!
Now if only mason jars had handles! It has to be a very cold day in a not very nice place for me to drink a hot anything. Most mornings my morning beverage of choice is non caffeinated tea with 2 ice cubes, but when I need the high test I’ll drink a cold coke.
I love these! No coffee or tea for me, I like my morning green-smoothie!
Hmm….I have mixed feelings about this. My husband would inevitably LOVE it for his morning coffee, which would mean all my canning jars would eventually make it to work, piled below his desk.
Grr.
Drink hot coffee in the am. Curious as to the efficiency and overall design of the cuppow.
hot coffee on the way to work, from stanley travel mug, and coffee during morning meetings at work. usually bring breakfast in a jar – smoothie or quinoa and apples!
This is such a great idea! I always drink Earl Grey tea in the morning and would love to be able to carry it in a mason jar. So cute!
Half pot of coffee, black. Butternut brand, or some fresh ground Kenyan Gold. Served in a heavy ceramic cup that I have used for years. I have to find me some of them there freezer jars!
I’ve had a recent break with coffee, but am happy to be back in its loving embrace. I love the whir of the grinder and smell of the grounds steeping in my press. When it’s ready to drink I feel sufficiently prepared to enjoy it, and frankly it makes coffee from the drip feel so lacking.
I drink cold brewed coffee in the summer and hot coffee in the winter/cool months. Such an interesting product; I’d love to see it in action.
My hospital closed the expresso bar, I’ve been carrying my coffee and breakfast to work in mason jars! I live in Portland and immediately forwarded the Cuppow website to a friend at New Seasons, it would be a perfect fit there…
*Portland update* New Seasons will start selling Cuppows next week!
I do 1/2 coffee and 1/2 milk in the morning. This cuppow top is genius!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow so cool! We actually got rid of all of our cups this year and went to mason jars! I’m an I’ve cd coke girl.. Unless I’m freezing then I have either tea or coffie…. I tend to switch throught the day
This looks amazing! My morning routine almost always includes yerba mate with honey and a splash of almond milk. I’ve gotten some funny looks from my boss for bringing my morning drink in a jar, but it works!
I use my quart jars to hold my much needed cup of OJ in morning. Delish. I would love a Cuppow to make it easier to drink.
Hot black tea, usually an Indian or Sri Lankan variety, with sugar and milk. I often take my time drinking a cuppa, and it’s what wakes me up daily, both physically and mentally.
This is really a cool item! I drink coffee with cream – every day. I have just succeeded in weaning myself off the added sugar. Thanks for sharing!
I love a tea blend: Good Earth Original (sweet & spicy with cinnamon) & Stash Lemon Ginger, 1 bag each in a tall glass–sweet, spicy, warm, comforting, and NO sugar! Yum!
I’m out of sorts if I don’t have green ginger iced tea in the morning. Rarely, I’ll have it hot, but the Cuppow would be helpful either way.
Green smoothies in the morning for me. I saw the cuppow on pinterest and am so interested!!
i have milk tea daily. what a great idea to have it in a mason jar- and the cuppow would help correct my clumsy ways…
I drink hot coffe with flavored creamer every morning. My three year old daughter calls it “Mommy’s patience juice.”
Tea tea tea – green from Japan, jasmine from China or black from the East End Food Co-op (which I’m sure also comes from somewhere similarly far east of here.) I’m sorry to say I don’t often use my jars, but I do have a mason jar with a handle on it, which when paired with a Cuppow would be ideal for hot beverages, wouldn’t it? I love this product!!
Coffee for me! These look great!
ALWAYS start my day with hot, sweet, milky coffee in some kind of to-go cup for my commute to work. My purse is already full of mason jars transporting my breakfast & lunches, so it’d be perfect to add a Cuppow to my stash and be able to sip my coffee from another jar!
Then I’d switch it over to the jar I keep on my desk with water, for sipping throughout the day. I’ve had more than one spill…
I love a green smoothie or a cinnamon iced mocha in the morning. Sometimes both.
Thanks for the entry! I would love to try this lid. Right now I have a mason jar lid with a straw hole punched in it that I use for traveling with a jar. This would be great to try!
I drink a green smoothie in the morning from a wide mouth mason jar and I would LUV a Cuppow to keep my desk safe =). And if I had a fancy knitted cozy like you I would definitely try it for coffee as well
On the weekend I grind my coffee beans, then portion and store the ground coffee in small jars. Each morning I empty the jar into the coffee maker. It makes it so easy to fix when half asleep!
I love jars for tea and carmel Apple cider. Mmmm….and in the summer….smoothies!
I am the Diet Coke drinker with an occassional cup of tea.
hot coffee, raw honey, raw cream in a quart jar. i drink everything from quart jars and this neat little invention would make me less “entertaining” in a good way.
I have a green smoothie and a cup of tea. My current tea is black Assam steeped with a crushed cardamom pod and a sprig of fresh mint.
It’s coffee for me, hot steamy coffee first thing in the morning. I love everything about coffee. The aroma of the ground beans, the hiss of the coffee maker as it starts to heat and pump the water, the little white ceramic pitcher in which I microwave the milk, the thermos heating up from the boiling water I’ve just poured into it.
And then, the first sip of the first cup. Could there be anything better first thing in the morning? I think not. Now, my day can begin.
Black tea with milk and sugar. With a jar cozy made of t-shirt scraps!
Hot coffee.
Coffee when I’m at the rare sit down breakfast away from home, otherwise hot tea every day (all day). When it’s nippy out, I use a thermos cup with a locking lid, but I miss the meditation that goes along with the heft, need for balance, and steam that I have with a mug.
My day always starts out with piping hot black coffee. I must have one (or more) of these!
If it’s not ice water, then it’s decaf tea with lemon….
Love my morning coffee! Depending on the weather I will take it iced or hot, as long as it has 4 shots, soy milk, and some white chocolate I am happy!
I’m completely intrigued by this idea. My morning cuppa consists of either coffee with mexican hot chocolate (for a delicious mexican mocha) or a nice hot cup of tea (double bergamot Earl Gray is my fave). And since there’s always at least one canning jar sitting out in my kitchen…
I’m a coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 gal in the morning. You had me at the lid….the knitted cozy just sucks all the fantastic out of the internet. Love it! Repurposed perfectly!
Thank you for doing a review on these; I was wondering how they worked, and now I know! My morning drink of choice is hot coffee with a scoop of cocoa, sugar, and half-and-half. Times two or three.
I had one of these on my wishlist! I tend to drink more hot chocolate or instant cappuccino than coffee, but I hate using the paper cups at work. This would solve everything! (at least hot morning beverage related)
My main drink in the morning is water. Then I try and follow up with Matcha green tea if I get the time to brew some!
Coffee hound here, the hotter the better. Must find someone who knits cozies…
Local Roast, ground fresh – great aroma that hits your nostrils the minute you walk into the kitchen. And hearty, hefty dark roast that keeps you going all day long!
My morning ritual is a cup of coffee made by my Keurig!
We use mason jars for cold drinks all the time. I never thought of using them for hot drinks for some reason – maybe the lid and/or dribbling issue. This would be awesome for hot tea or cocoa at work. I usually drink my tea hot but sometimes in the summer iced chai really hits the spot. I’ve recently started being a little more open to caffe.
WOW!! I never thought to use mason jars for breakfast or drinking but LOVE the idea. I just recently bought a slew of jars and did my spice, and staples in them. They are great and look so neat and clean in the cupboard. However you have now put me on a new course to using them, and this Cuppow would hold my morning smoothie or yummy latte! Thanks for sharing this great item (also I would love to get my hands on those sweet cozies you have for yours).
love water kefir in the am, use a mason jar if i do not win one ill have to buy one of theses great idea love you page keep up the good work
I LOVE Tazo awake tea in the morning with honey and 1/2 n 1/2. The kettle boils the water perfectly. I let it steep while the kids are getting on their shoes for school and away we go! Our 25 minute commute is perfect for sipping my hot tea!
I drink coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon sometimes an herbal tea in the evening, always seem to have a warm cup in my hand. this is a great idea
For me my morning ritual is Hot bold coffee with a bit of milk and honey…..love it!!
How Cool!!! I’m a tea drinker, myself. I Love the smell of coffee, but it doesn’t like me. For the longest time I drank black tea (usually English Breakfast, Assam or some other strong black tea) with just sugar, but about 4 years ago I found I couldn’t drink the strong stuff anymore. :^( So I switched to decaf, found some that I liked and eventually settled on Earl Grey (which I used to dislike until I had it with milk added); just delicious! It’s interesting how tastes change over time. I do occasionally drink green tea and love it with jasmine.
I stumble to the coffee pot in the early am, and somehow am able to make a cup of coffee for the household. After at least one cup, with milk, no sugar, I am then ready to seize the day.
Coffee pot in this Canadian household starts dripping before I get out of bed. Two cups in the am before work and one come along for the short ride to work. Can’t wait for this product to hit the Canadian Market!!!! They told me soon! I must confess that I am a Mason Jar Junkie as well.
i love a cup of joe early in the morn, with the new york times and my kitty in bed.:) total bliss
I have a 45 minute commute to work and a Mason jar fits just right in my car cup holder. I always leave the house with a jar of hot coffee but sometimes it ends up on my lap, seat, etc. A lid would be wonderful!
I like cold Chai tea for breakfast, since I have never been a coffee drinker. Those jar cozies are beautiful!!
I love hot coffee and this would be great as it would stay warm and in the jar until I drink it.
Hot French Press Folgers in the morning – black. In the afternoon, I like it cold and made with exotic beans, steamed organic soy, and maybe a dash of chocolate. Green tea is good for afternoons too.
I knew I was saving all my wide mouth pint-n-a-half jars for a good reason. I love the size and agee they’d make a great drinking mug – if only I had a lid. ;>
I split a pot of French press with my husband, toting mine to work in my Nissan Thermos. Better than Starbucks any day!
My kids call me the ‘jar hoarder’! We’ve used pint jars for drinking glasses for years! They make awesome vases and freezer containers… not to mention the obvious canning use! The sippy lid would be an awesome addition to my ‘addiction’!
And I drink hot tea! Followed by more hot tea…. and perhaps followed by ice tea later in the day! YUMMMMM! All drinks taste better in a mason jar!
I start each day with a glass of sweet iced tea. It just gets me going in the morning, and I feel lost if I don’t get it.
I love freshly brewed coffee with flavored creamer.
I’m a coffee drinker by day, and a tea drinker by night. In the summer I drink iced coffee from a mason jar. Spillage is a problem, so I use a straw.
I am very lucky in that my husband makes the coffee as soon as he gets up. That way, when I drag out of bed 15 minutes later, it is all ready for me!
I was a cold and carbonated man, but I have since pretty much given up caffeine. When I do partake, it’s usually hot tea these days.
I would love to have one for my morning breakfast tea from Upton Tea.
Two 16 oz mugs o tea with milk. Then talk to me…
I drink hot tea in the morning; but I also use a lot of different things in it: Whole Cloves, Cinnamon, Peppermint Leaves, Vanilla, Star Anise, Rose Water, Anise Seed, Grated Ginger Root, Orange or Lemon Zest, Rosemary Leaves too. Sometimes I even mix them “the Herbs” together in the same cup of tea; it never gets boring.
I have a mug of Trader Joe’s Irish Breakfast Tea every single morning with a little bit of milk and sugar. I’m currently drinking it right now, in fact. Yum!
A cup of strong coffee with some half and half. The longer the day the stronger the coffee.
Love this idea Cuppow. Why didn’t I think of it!!!
Hot coffee with skim milk (exciting, I know).
Much like this drawing, my morning drink routine is randomized: coffee, black tea, flavored tea, hot chocolate, sugar, splenda, vanilla extract, half and half, skim, sometimes at home, sometimes with a stop by the local cafe.
Oooh, coffee first, taken straight. Just until I can count to ten without hurting my brain. I switch to tea at work, its a far more soothing ritual.
i drink morning coffee out of a Stainless steel mug because i like it super hot but i do put my leftover coffee into a mason jar into the fridge for later, this would be perfect for drinking that iced coffee.
3 oz of orange juice in my iced tea is how I start the day.
Half a cup of strong coffee, a quarter cup of chocolate wine, & a quarter cup of hot chocolate makes my butt not fit in my chair, but the smile stays aaaaaaaaallllllll day!
I don’t drink coffee or tea, so in the mornings I’m cold and carbonated or have hot chocolate. The rest of the day I drink tang or water.
I would prefer to have a wonderful cup of hot coffee every morning as I get into the office, alas, such as you.. I am taking a break from the morning coffee ritual as well. I save the coffee for special occasions now. Like Saturday mornings with my sweetheart or flea market Sundays. My husband and I will fix us a big cup of coffee with some Irish Cream and start browsing the merchandise! Wonderful Morning with him! As for now though, my morning drink has become a cup of hot green tea, a little cinnamon for stimulation, and a small amount of cream! mmmmmm.
I drink my coffee at waiting at the bus stop with my little one, love it with a bit of H&H.
every morning I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cuppa ambition, and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
….that’s not original but that is what I do…..coffee, black, NOW!
Woo-hoo! I need one of these and will probably buy one eventually if I don’t win!
Black coffee, strong, and lots of it!
I’m a hot tea drinker myself, and I find myself more and more drinking out of mason jars. I’ve even toyed with streamlining my kitchen and getting rid of my other cups!
i have to have soda in the morning its my coffee this is a great idea for me and my mother who has been drinking her coffee from mason jars for 20 some years
Hot tea for me on the go every morning. Oh, I gotta get one of these, I have heard about them but not seen them.
please! this is my dream. i’m hot coffee with half and half in the morning. i start looking forward to it the night before.
and i’ve used those pint and a half mason freezer jars for my “water bottle” before. this coffee cup adaptor…awesome.
I just replicated the same image of a crocheted coozie around a mason jar to tote my tea to an evening meeting the other night! Fate! I DID spill some, so the top you talk about looks amazing!…As for the morning coffee, I like to drink some out of a pretty, cozy mug while getting ready and then put the rest in a travel mug to go. Thanks!
Chai tea, mmmmmmmmmmmm.
We make cold-brewed coffee, because the lower acidity is easy on my stomach. In the summer, I drink it cold; in the winter, I microwave it. Always with a splash of milk.
http://eatlocal365.com/2010/12/01/how-to-make-cold-brew-coffee/
My morning beverage of choice is hot coffee with a touch of sugar and a splash of soy milk.
I like my caffieine cold or hot, and not just in the morning. I like to drink my “leftover” coffee cold in the afternoon!
Just hot black coffee for me!
Hot coffee every morning!
Oh my goodness, what a fabulous idea! I totally need one of these for my morning cuppa–I’ve been crocheting covers for my drink jars, but this would make drinking much easier. I love coffee, but I’ve been drinking lots of MORNING THUNDER tea lately (just needs to be yelled, of course)…it’s got mate in it and a picture of a buffalo on the box, so I feel energized just looking at it at 5 a.m., hah!
Spring=Hot Coffee
Summer=Iced Coffee/Sun Tea
Fall=Hot Coffee/transitioning into Hot tea
Winter=Strictly Hot Tea and Hot Coffee maybe once a week
-What can I say? I’m a seasonal drinker…
Hot green tea with a slice of lemon.
I drink hot coffee every morning, with cream and sugar/spenda. I am really trying to make it at home and not spend as much money on Dunkin’ Donuts (but it’s sooo good).
I love hot tea in the AM. On those special days when I get to make and share breakfast with my wife, I’ll place the clear teapot on the table with flowering tea.
as a GRITS mine is sweet tea
I drink hot coffee, only cause I make it for hubby, but it MUST have a bunch of sugar and a good dollop of Peppermint Mocha liquid creamer!
I like my morning beverage hot with a bit of half and half. This idea is brilliant. Even if I don’t win, I’m getting one!
Hot coffee with a spoonful of hot chocolate mix stirred into it. Mocha! And if I need a bit more of a lift, a spoonful of caramel sauce into the mix too. Never heard of this lid before. Terrific idea.
Coffee. if no coffee than tea, if no tea than I go back to bed
I have hot tea each morning at work. I reserve my jar usage to the half pint that I bring to make my oatmeal.
I would definitely get a lot of use out of this! I love to knit so making little cozies out of colorful scrap yarn would be way too much fun!
Does Cuppow also come in regular size? I have a full set of regular canning jars with handles that I have been using to drink out of for years.
BTW, keep up the good work on this site – I love it!
At this time, it only comes in the wide mouth size. However, bet if it is successful, they’ll expand to both sizes.
Fresh roasted organic coffee brewed in a french press…nice and hot, with nothing added
I enjoy a cup of coffee in whatever i can grab to put it in! I like it with 1/2 and 1/2 or french vanilla creamer. If i could get someone to make it for me its even better!!
Oh man, I want one of these!
I drink coffee in the morning, and tea throughout the day. Coffee always in a Lotte mug from my grandmother (like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/38724877/two-lotte-mugsturi-designnorway-figgjo) and tea in a wide-mouth pint jar with a knit cozy.
Oh! I saw this a few weeks ago on another site and bookmarked it to order. I drink hot tea every morning and some days follow it up with coffee.
mmm hot coffee every morning. I have the same laptop danger problem. I’m surprised my computer still works after all the water I spilled on it. The last thing I need is a coffee spill. Plus it would be a great excuse to pick up my knitting again!
Yesterday’s cold or today’s hot french press organic fair trade coffee!
piping hot black coffee in the wintertime. and refreshing ice coffee with bit of milk in the summer. there’s nothing better!!!
After a 5-mile run each morning, I love to have a cup of hot cocoa. However, I’ve realized that if I switch to tea, I won’t have as many calories to burn off and may not need to run as far! It’s a hard switch as I have to go with caffeine free and flavors that don’t taste like dirt. (So far, raspberry, pomegranate, and mint are acceptable for my taste buds.) Turns out tea is an acquired taste…
These look cool! I drink hot coffee in the morning
That is so cool! Thanks for sharing it. I take my coffee to work every morning in a ceramic travel mug.
I use to bring it in a mason jar then transfer it to a mug, but that meant I had to wash two things. Ugh!
I love the knit cozy. I might have to make one of those.
Tea with honey in the morning. Always a black type tea. But chai with fresh grated ginger, honey and milk is a great treat! Very cool lids!
Every morning I make a french press, and drink precisely one half of the cup before it grows too cold for me to enjoy it. I don’t have a microwave, so re-heating, alas, is not an option. Then, mid-morning, I may get up from my work to walk outside and get another cup of coffee or a large iced tea. This is a pricey habit, but I bring lunch to work, so it doesn’t break the bank..
I am on a tea kick right now but I do love a good cup of coffee. I sometimes brew my tea in a jam jar to get the last drop of jam. I don’t ever drink from the jar…I will have to start!
I drink water and juice. I wonder how those knitted cozies are made?
First thing I do when I get out of bed in the morning is start the coffee pot, in the summer I have an additional 3:00 pm iced coffee
To be honest? My mornings don’t start with caffeine, unless it’s a bad, bad day. Juice for me, or water if I’ve been running before breakfast, and on particularly good days, smoothies
This is, fyi, a brilliant idea and I am forwarding the cuppow to my friends who are as obsessed with drinking from mason jars as I am.
Coffee…. hot in winter, often iced in summer. Love toting it to work in a jar!
I love this idea! I start every day with a cuppa tea with milk. There’s just something cozy about it.
Homemade kombucha! Yum! On a real cold morning, it is hot tea.
My day doesn’t start until I drink at least one cup of hot coffee from my vintage pyrex mug.
That lid is super cute and I think I’m gonna go knit some cozies! I sometimes drink coffee, even thought I know it’s bad for me! Usually hot tea (chai my fav and the only one I’ll add milk to) is my go to.
My morning ritual consists of a HOT cup of coffee in my hand from the time I get up at 5:15…to the time I walk out the door to go to work around 9. It’s a must. Although, I have started to take a bottle of Alo with me to drink on the way to work. Love that stuff!
I don’t drink morning beverages but I do know a little girl that would love to upgrade from a sippy cup!
Either coffee or hot homemade chai!
Always hot in the winter and usually cold in the summer, often coffee but occasionally tea, either way no sugar added. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’m an old fashioned hot coffee girl!
Every single day I have hot coffee, made on the week-end from a cold brew…no bitter after taste and no heart burn!
Coffee, hot in the winter, iced in the summer. Thanks for the contest!
ooooh, I would so love this lid!
P.S. I am a very good knitter and would love to trade a hand-knit or crocheted jar cozy for one of these fabulous lids. You can choose the color, style and fiber of the cozy!
Any takers?
I drink hot tea in a travel mug on my way to work then when I get to work switch to coffee.
In the winter, my beverage of choice is tea or hot chocolate. But in the summertime it’s sweet tea with lemon.
Thanks for the review! I’d seen this online the other day and was skeptical; nice to know it really is as good as it seems! Brings a whole new use to my slightly damaged jars indeed! On my farm we drink strong mud (coffee) first thing in the AM and then refuel as needed!
Hot, hot coffee, as much as I can get from the pot I share every morning with my husband.
I am feeling a need to knit a jar cozy now.
English Breakfast tea in a quart jar filled 2/3 of the way. After it cools I add some ice and it becomes my iced tea for the day. No sweetener and no milk.
WOW!!! what an amazing idea. This is something I could really use.
I really enjoy your blog.
My morning ritual consists of a hot cup of black coffee enjoyed with my boyfriend while listening to NPR.
My husband is actually awesome enough to leave a pint jar filled up with orange juice every morning by my bedside. This way the cat can’t get into it.
My morning beverage can be a variety of things, hot cocoa (only homemade), coffee, tea and an occasion spurge, a mocha, in the summer it is iced tea with lemon. I like your cozies.
I like the freezer jars too.
Currently I go through 2 cups of coffee in my travel mug – and then move on to cinnamon tea later in the morning….hot beverages don’t need to be only in the morning for me
I drink one cup of coffee, then eternal cups of tea. In the summer, I make large mason jar of hot tea, and then carry it along to school with a large mason jar full of ice. I get stared at–I 1000% don’t care.
In conclusion, this thing is brilliant + the perfect doohickey for me!
I drink unsweetened ice tea from the time i get up till bed. Though I rarely reach for a regular canning jar to drink from, we do use the canning jar glasses with a handle that I rescued from the trash when a friend moved. I love the fact that you can put a lid on them when putting a half finished drink in the fridge, saves on cleaning up spills when my two year old is looking for something.
I love any kind of decaf tea, flavored and otherwise. I would love this product and would bring it with me when I go to visit my son in Hoboken. Many of the restaurants there and in NYC now serve coffee and tea in canning jars. Imagine how cool it would be to have one of these to use. I’d have to bring a canning band to hold it on, too. I’ll have to buy one for my son, too.
I drink hot coffee every morning. Without it, I’m just not human.
I like a good cup of yerba mate with honey and lemon in the morning… Iced in the summer.
Coffee…..lots of coffee in the morning!
I drink my coffee from a coffee mug when I get to work…but this would be awesome to have. This morning I had to run an errand once I arrived at work and it was tough getting that mug to sit in the cup holder. What a great idea!!
I usually drink hot coffee in the morning and cold tea in the afternoon and evening. DH usually drinks whatever I am drinking because he is too lazy to make something different
.
My boyfriend makes me perfect iced coffees. They’re best made with creamy raw Jersey milk!
I’m a tea lover. I like it hot in the winter and cold in the summer. I usually drink it later in the day, though. Just water in the mornings.
It’s hot tea for me! I love the Rishi brands- mandarain citrus, citron oolong, ginger peach, and so on….
Just a little black coffee in the morning for me
These are so awesome – I love my coffee on the way to work, hot or iced, depending on the season!
Love the idea. Now where do I buy one, in case I don’t win?
Forgot how I drink my coffee in the AM (haven’t finished mine yet today)…
I like mine with lots of cream. Almost white. YUMMM!
Go to http://www.cuppow.com to order!
i’m a huge coffee person, but i like my first cup alone, after i take my kiddo to school. me and the news, or email or blog reading, then I start my day… with cup #2.
These look so cool! My morning coffee has blackstrap molasses. Definitely an acquired taste, but no more anemia without pills to take makes me a fan.
I enjoy cocoa, but at night! Dark chocolate cocoa!
My morning drink of choice has been a ridiculously big glass of whole or 2% milk with at least 1.5 servings of Nesquick powder. I’m fully ashamed to admit that.
Coffee-Hot in the AM and Tea-cold in the afternoon. And I love the little cozies for the jars…wish I had a pattern!
I usually have one cup of coffee after breakfast with creamer. I have a tendency to get busy with emails and reading my blogs while drinking so more often than not, it ends up room temperature by the time I drink it. Which is fine with me!
Love the canning jar with lid idea!
Hot coffee (cream and two sugars) most mornings, but hot tea (black) sometimes in the winter or when I’m stuffy.
I drink decaf iced coffee every morning, first thing when I wake up. Then many cups of hot tea throughout the day (iced tea in the warmer seasons). I love drinking from jars, but they aren’t great for long car rides…
My husband and I start our day with coffee on our car ride and then move to green tea at work (both hot). He has been looking for a travel mug that has the mouth opening sticking up like this one, so this could be perfect!
Once we got a Keurig I discovered the endless variety of flavored coffees. I now start every morning with a different flavor and enjoy it as I check my email at work. It’s SO much better than the office coffee. I would love to try another use of my mason jars with coffee and have my mother knit me a cozy for it!
Each morning, I drink a quart (jar, of course!) of pure filtered water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Later in the day I have coffee or green tea in a widemouth pint. knitted sleeve as well. Although I have a cuppow, i’d love another
Coffee!! hot, sometimes flavored, sometimes black. Set the timer so that when I stumble into the kitchen it is ready to pour and enjoy.
I would love to drink iced tea with this!
I’m strictly a coffee drinker before work, and tea during. Iced lattes are the perfect drink for summer, but right now obviously I’m on hot coffee.
Every day begins with homemade iced mate, then iced coffee, and finally a cup of hot tea or coffee. (I dig the ritual/experience, though the caffeine probably helps some.) I’ve always used mason jars for to-go coffee, and not once without a comment from the barista.
I am an equal opportunity drinker! I drink diet dr. pepper and hot tea.
Especially in the bitter winter of where I live, I love either having some Chai Tea or black teas in the morning with a bit of milk. I love the idea of the lid and you have given me a new idea for crocheted jar covers! Thank you!
I never even thought of this and absolutely love this idea! Would love to win so I can try it out!
I work at a coffee shop, so what ever is closest to me I’ll take it.
I enjoy hot tea in the mornings, especially nippy, winter morns! Thanks for the chance to win!
I drink hot tea with milk, usually one cup at home and two more at work!
Have to have my morning cup of coffee!
I’m definitely a hot beverage person. Usually my drink of choice is coffee, but I’ll be giving it up next Sunday as a part of a three week church-wide fast, so I’ll probably drink either tea or hot water with lemon (it’s better than you might think) during that time.
I’m a 3 or 4 shots over ice girl. Every day. Yum.
In the morning – nothing can replace my half caff coffee w/ half & half. It’s my 6:30am addiction. Throughout the day in the winter I continue to sip on hot tea and/or hot water. I love the idea of this lid!
Hot tea or a cappuccino from my local coffee roaster.
I get to work, I make a cup of coffee in my one cup French press and I drink it was fat free half & half and Torani toasted marshmallow syrup and eat oatmeal with craisins, salt & walnuts. It is my traditional morning splurge and it’s delish.
If I am brewing coffee, I like to drink it black with a bit of raw sugar. If I run out of coffee beans, I heat up some whole milk, add a packet of Starbucks VIA and sugar and stir and sip!
Black coffee in the morning! Ahhhhh! But i work at a desk too, and often have lil spill’s here and there. This looks like a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing =0)
Glass of grapefruit juice, Das Boot of water, and a mug of “Joe”. That’s this here fellas morning drink ritual.
Black coffee every morning & afternoon. Never thought of jars for hot beverages, but really want to try the cuppow with sun tea in the summer!
for me, nothing is better than when it is in a mason jar! I am a hearty black tea with a spot of raw milk and real sugar kind of gal!
I’m currently weaning from soda to iced tea on my way to water. This would be great!
What a great and useful product! I take a mug of ice tea with me to work each day. I start my day the same way on the weekends as well.
If I’m going to be home sewing, I put on a pot. If I’m in a hurry, I use my Keurig.
Most times its low-test (decaf), but if I have a lot to accomplish I add a few scoops of high-test.
Thanks.
Good Morning!
Every morning at work I fill my cup with water and it is gone in an hour.
And then if I feel like I need it after that first glass of water, I have a cup of coffee.
Buuut, I don’t have a cutesy cup for my coffee so if I started using a jar, that would prob be better than the styrofoam cup and easier to clean in a office bathroom than a mug.
At home, I just start with the coffee lol.
I drink coffee hot every morning with whip cream, & Pumpkin Spice on top.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Every morning I have a cup of tea, my favorite is a black tea with lemon flavor. (Dalfour is my favorite) Except when I am getting a cold, then it is Traditional Medicinals’ Lemon with Echinacea and slippery elm.
Hot brewed, in a “grind ‘n brew” from Cuisinart. Starbucks only (either Gold Coast Blend most of the year, or the holiday/Xmas blend the end of the year). Coffee snob, too, because I travel with my own Starbucks. As for the mug, I use a large handmade stoneware mug from Mara (currently the mug has an orchid on it, but I have a wide collection of other designs; see http://www.marastore.com/mara-mugs.php). I make a half pot first thing in the morning, and then a 4-cup pot about 7am.
I.Must.Have.Coffee.
I refuse to even consider jumping into a shower without a half cup of coffee in me!
YOU HAVE CHANGED MY WORLD WITH THIS BLOG POSTING!!! YAHOO!!!!
Any of these with a lid that could be used at home or in travel would be fantastic! No more spills on my shirts while driving!
My morning drink ritual varies. Recently I have been drinking 1 to 1 1/2 mason jars of water first thing in the morning so this would be AWESOME! (Preventing future kidney stones) Following that I drink either a green smoothie or dandy blend coffee
Thank you!
Stacy
Wow! That would definitely be nice. It would be wonderful for my hot morning chai.
Is the lid microwavable? If it is, the lid and a cozy would be great for my morning hot chocolate!
Every morning, before I get my kids out of bed, I stumble to my kuerig, eyes still closed, fill up my reusable k-cup with my favorite Community coffee & stand there till its done brewing. A little cream & sugar & I’m human again. Just dont try to carry a conversation before then, dangerous territory.
This is a great idea. One of those…why didn’t I think of that! ideas. And what a fabulous way to be green…using canning jars.
I also love your idea of cup cozies out of the leftover bits and bobs of yarn that inevitably wind up at the bottom of my knitting bag.
these are genius! we use mason jars for pretty much all of our basic beverage needs except for our coffee which we still sip (on the go) from travel mugs. i want to sip my piping hot, extra strong, dark black morning coffee from a mason jar with a cute crochet cozy and a cuppow!!
Cold and carbonated like your husband for me!!
I think you could use this for smooth soups for a meal on the go!
Coffee in the morning and tea the rest of the day. Iced tea in the summer.
So cool! My morning drink is Toddy (cold brew concentrate) in a ton of milk… basically like a homemade iced coffee.
Tea in the AM, coffee in the afternoon..
Hot tea, please. Green smoothie on the side.
Sometimes coffee, sometimes tea
I’ve been wanting to buy a set of jars specifically for drinking (otherwise they are all used up with kefir and lacto-ferments) this cuppow might be motivation!
I’m a coffee girl through and through. With just a little half and half to make it creamy. I could drink that all day. Sometimes I do!
I’m a tea drinker (never got used to the taste of coffee and figure why start now). I keep an electric kettle on my desk at work because the office Keurig doesn’t like giving water out in more than small doses (and I like a big cup of tea). I’ve never switched to jars mostly because I didn’t know how to solve the heat problem (I dunno why it never occurred to me to crochet a cozy…duh). Anyway, these lids are awesome!
I found a similar product at one point that turns jars into children’s sippy cups, much the same way. If memory serves me right, they also included a silicone or rubber cozy that prevents breakage when dropped…not to mention it probably would be a heat buffer if you used it with your Cuppow.
When I mentioned the Cuppow to a friend, he showed me these and I chuckled:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/77041497/redneck-wine-glasses-set-of-2
Oh I love this idea! I drink mostly coffee in a travel mug as I head off to the bus. Black – Monday – Thursday A little peppermint mocha creamer on Fridays. This replaces my old habit (before the bus) of having an expensive coffee drink on Fridays. This is much cheaper!
Hot coffee, cold booch, then some more hot coffee (reheated probably) or tea
Coffee, hot, and lots of it. I usually make 3/4 of a pot, have a cup before leaving, and bring another cup with me to work (my partner gets the rest). I actually often use a wide mouth pint jar to carry my coffee to work and I’m intrigued by the Cuppow.
It really depends on the time of year. In the summer, I make big batches of cold brew overnight and drink it out of wide mouth pint jars on my walk to work. In the winter, I make coffee with our Chemex, which we then drink out of our JoeMo mugs – the only totally reliable thermos I’ve found.
Anyone out there interested in selling me one or two of those cozies? I could use a couple.
Grace, check Etsy, there are a bunch of people out there making and selling them.
This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” products. I have always loved to take iced coffee to work in mason jars, but drinking from them left dribbles or spills. This would be wonderful. I love all items canning and canning jar related!
My husband and I brew cold-press iced coffee to take to our respective works, flavored with Torani syrup and soy or homemade nut milk. I do miss my foam, however. And how exactly does your husband carbonate his coffee??
Cheers,
*Heather*
These are so great! I like my morning caffeine in the form of tea, hot, and I often drink it out of a Mason jar (actually usually a recycled Green Mountain Gringo salsa jar). I used to use a sock as a cozy, and my boyfriend would make fun of me all the time. But see, I’m not so crazy after all!
Hot coffee with coconut creamer. YUM!
Oh, I love it! I’m a tea drinker for sure. My day always starts with a cup of hot tea!
Coffee with cream and sugar nearly every morning in a widemouth pint. Ice water throughout the day in a widemouth quart. Quite dangerous at times with 2 toddlers who insist on drinking Mommys water. Soon I will be brewing and drinking large batches of kombucha as well as red raspberry leaf tea for pregnancy.
I don’t know why but I have always felt “fancy” drinking from a canning jar. Odd I know but they feel better than glasses or any other cups.
I prefer hot tea every time I have a commute. Mint tea is the best, still tastes good even when it gets cold. This lid looks amazing!
I am a coffee drinker in the morning. Coffee with a little bit of creamer in a chipped mug that I always use because it holds more coffee. Thanks for this giveaway!
I’m an iced coffee girl all year round!
I’m a hot tea kinda girl!
I have black tea with milk (or cream, whatever is at hand) in the morning. Then in the afternoon, and evening if possible. I love tea!
One big cup of joe in the morning! This is a brilliant discovery…for iced tea in the afternoon, on the go.
That is so fun! I have been wanting to sew up a few coffee cup cozies and winning this would give me that little extra push to really go do that!
I make loose leaf tea in the morning, usually masala chai. MmMmMm..
I drink coffee in the morning – the usual choice is Italian roast Costa Rican coffee from a small local roaster. I’ve got a handmade mug that I usually drink it out of but my on-the-go container is a dented-up stainless mug that I’ve had for a few years. It’d be fun to use some of my jars for yet another purpose here!
Also, thank you for posting about those mason jar cozies – I’ve been meaning to whip up one or two for a while but this gave me some motivation to look for a pattern. Fun!
I bring a stainless steel travel mug of coffee to work every day, then pour the coffee into a mug. On weekends at home, I take my coffee in a Mason jar, so the Cuppow would make my workdays more like weekend days!
Oh, I started yearning for one of these 12 seconds after I heard about it. I drink one Americano in the morning and then two cups of hot tea throughout the day, and sometimes a hot cocoa in the evenings.
My morning beverage used to be coffee until I found out I was expecting (SQUEE!), so now I’ve switched to something with a little less caffeine…Tea.
Black tea, with a little bit of honey and 1/2 & 1/2. Delicious!
I drink a cup of Tazo Zen green tea every morning. We drink everything from mason jars we actually do not have real glasses in our home!
Iced coffee for me!
What a great idea. This is perfect for my summer-time favorite: iced coffee!
I like to drink hot chocolate in the morning, although due to being on a diet, it is a sadly watered-down version of what I really want.
And I thought Mason jars were perfect already. This is great – my morning coffee and afternoon tea will be much enjoyed from a Mason jar. I’d love to win the free one, but I’m going to purchase lids for me and friends anyway.
I like my coffee. Every morning I grind and start the brew before a shower. A hot cup of coffee is my favorite part of my morning!
This is a fantastic idea…and now that i knit i think i might have to make myself one of those cozies so I don’t burn my hands when i have my morning coffee!
I love a great Iced Coconut Latte
I love warm drinks in the morning, coffee is my go-to, but I’ve been known to appreciate tea and hot chocolate in the morning too.
I enjoy a cup of hot coffee in the morning no matter what the weather. I’d love one of these! Now to find a pattern for the jar cozy…
Cold press all summer, espresso all winter. The day I make the switch always seems momentous, like my own personal solstice.
Earl Gray, hot just like my favorite Captain.
My usual ritual is a 4 shot breve (i know, i’m bad, but i love them!) I’ve also recently discovered (and fallen in ♥ with) chai, so i’ve been tinkering with a chai recipe since going to a coffee house daily is quite pricey. In the summer i’ll make cold brew coffee…see my post here… http://www.masonjarstomuffintins.blogspot.com/search/label/cold%20brew%20coffee
I’m a tea girl myself. I brew it strong enough to trot a mouse on, and enjoy it all day long.
My morning ritual consists of me in bed until my husband brings the coffee into the bathroom, turns the light on, and cracks the door so that I wake up gradually. (This after I’ve hit snooze about 180 times.
) I know…I’m spoiled.
But I do have a favorite mug, Randy got me a mug with a Jane Austen quote, which sums up my thinking exactly:
There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.
Isn’t that great?!
M
i like a big cup of green tea in the morning!
I love a warm chai latte in the morning. If I have the time to make one that is.
My morning caffeine routine has changed from cold, caffeinated, and bubbly in college to coffee brewed in a single cup via cone filter. The temperature (hot coffee vs. cold coffee) depends on the day. The cuppow would certainly come in handy!
My husband drinks coffee from mason jars every day. At first glance, it seems a little gimmicky but I can definitely see the benefit. Very cool.
I’ve never drank a hot drink from a mason jar but what an awesome idea. I think we have too many travel type cups and most of them leak. For me, I start the morning with a cup of hot tea. Right now it’s all Red Bush because I got a great deal on two cases of the tea.
Coffee, black- nothing better on a chilly morning!
Waking up with a got cup of Yerba Mate, that really gets me going!!
Morning Tea is my usual routine, but I’m having visions of different liquids stored in my mason jars in the frig until needed.
A good hot cup of Yerba Mate, that always does the trick!!
I’m a cappuccino girl. Love my cap every morning with either almond milk, non-fat or soy, depending on what’s around. We have amazing artisan coffee roasters in Sacramento- Temple Coffee, Chocolate Fish and Coffee Works to name a few- thus coffee in our house is always fresh. What a great idea to have a mason jar with this lid in the house and car at all times!
I rotate between coffee and tea. I lay in bed and think about it for a minute after the alarm goes off: “Is this a coffee day? A tea day? Perhaps the blueberry tea today? Hmmm.” It’s a wonderful excuse to extend my stay in a cozy nook of blankets and pillows, however brief it may be. I have a (very) beat-up red thermos that I use if I am heading out the door; otherwise, I have an assortment of mugs and jars to choose from with various sentiments and stories attached.
Hot coffee, iced coffee, green tea, or a nice homemade chai…all in a mason jar….help me to get my day started right!
Definitely nice hot coffee. Often followed by a smoothie foe the road.
Love it!!!! My ritual is steal my husbands cup of coffee (if he hasn’t already made a cup for me) and get that stuff flowing through my body as fast as possible so that I may interact with other individuals and begin my day. This item incredible- I neeeeed one badly.
I don’t seek out caffeine, but do enjoy the occasional mug of hot chocolate during the winter months. I normally can be found sipping on herbal tea to keep warm in my office. Peppermint is my current herb of choice.
I love some hot green tea in the morning. Sometimes, I’ll throw some ginger or mint in there if I feel like being fancy
my coffee routine depends on the weather, and my whim. cold iced coffee is always welcome, though in the wintertime, the warm variety comes out as well.
i like water in the morning.. sometimes juice. on really early mornings, i’ll splurge for some coffee. on lazy weekends, i’ll make something in the moka or chemex. LOVE the cuppow.. it’s such a great idea!
Hi Marisa,
Love the idea of hot chai tea (recipe at moorebetterfood.wordpress.com) in a mason jar! I’m not a fan of the typical travel mugs, but using a jar is really creative. Ravelry has knitting & crocheting patterns for anyone out there who wants to make a jar cozy as well.
I must have this!!! My morning ritual is to hurry up and get downstairs before my husband so that I can pour myself a cup of the coffee that he made for HIMself. (Snicker snicker!) Then I come to work and do NOTHING until I’ve made a pot of coffee. Oh how I would LOVE to drink my work coffee from a mason jar instead of my coffee mug (no matter how cool my mug is, with its kitschy saying of “Life is too short for cheap yarn”). And how I would ADORE making little cozies for my coffee jar!
Great giveaway!!!
I rotate between hot tea and coffee, personally.
I go through phases of drinking hot tea and the morning or peppermint water. I’ve been eyeing those cuppows though. I would love to have one
I’m not a coffee drinker. But I LOVE hot tea of any kind!
Love this…….must have!!!!
Sweet tea every morning. Can’t wake up without good, cold sweet tea. Kids are trained and will bring me some. They have theirs, too.
Amy in SC
I’m a hot coffee in the morning type of girl, the rest of the day it’s herbal teas.
I do a bit of everything.. sometimes it’s tea – I’m on a chocolate tea kick right now. Occasionally it’s coffee. Other times it’s a glass of soy milk or juice. I tend to grab whatever I feel like that morning.
I enjoy both coffee and tea in the mornings, just depends on my mood.
I grind locally roasted coffee beans every morning and brew it in my drip coffee maker. Then I find my favorite mug and enjoy a cup or two before I get ready for work.
Two cups of coffee in a travel mug on the way to work each morning for me. I’d use a mason jar but juggling carrying my purse/lunch box/mug from my car, across the parking lot, through the turnstile, and up the stairs to my cube is effort enough without trying not to drop a glass jar. And throw in an umbrella and heavy rain like this morning and that jar is surely toast. If I win this awesome top, though, I’d use it at home or in the car running errands around town where my precious jars would be safer.
I love drinking tea in the morning! Especially a chai latte! I am just positive it would take even better from a mason jar with a felted cozy… ;o)
My morning beverage is a glass of water or three, but that might be because I usually work out in the morning. Tea is the afternoon drink of choice, and after seeing your pictures, I feel inspired to sneak a little milk in with it.
Hot till noon then iced tea! This wold be great. The hubs hates when I brinng drinks in the car. I use mason jars for cups in this house. Yes even the toddlers
Love this idea — actually have it pinned on Pinterest! My morning ritual consists of coffee made at home — hot in the winter, iced in the summer. And I’m a knitter, so I’m thinking I could easily whip up some of those cute jar cozies!
In college there were 4 coffee shops within 2 blocks of campus. I started drinking fluffy creamy sweet coffee then. Years later, while I was pregnant with my son, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and got used to cutting out as many carbs as possible. So now it’s black every morning. As a treat I throw in a pinch of cardamom and/or cinnamon with the grounds in my french press. Mmmmm.
Black coffee for me. I’d like to be a morning tea drinker, but it doesn’t have the same psychological effect.
I like my coffee with milk and sugar, slightly lukewarm. When I add the cold milk, it cools it down nicely. I often use mason jars to carry beverages, but oddly, I’ve never thought to use them for coffee.
ahh what a great blog ..so glad i found you. i use mason jars for EVERYTHING!
right now at my desk i have a quart jar filled with yerbamata and a pint with granola and kefir.
i use them for storing almost everything in my house and make learning to make a soap pumper out of them as well for homemade soaps!
Thank you for the new product information…i have a feeling i will be on your site often!
~doxie from d-troit
Wow! A lot of people sure want this…and so do I. I have to say, a canning jar sippy cup would be a great deal more convenient in the long run. I have a small supply of regular travel mugs, but they are a bear to clean. So tall and skinny, I can’t get to the bottom. I hardly use them anymore. A pint jar would be easier, and I have such a ready supply. No more early morning scrambles to find a clean travel mug.
I do love my morning coffee. I love the smell of the grinding beans, as well as the brewing. A touch of milk and sugar is all I need.
Usually I just love my coffee straight up with nothing added. I have a reuseable paperless cup from Cost Plus that I always keep in the car for trips to coffee shops. At those places I usually love a bit of caramel sauce and cinnamon sprinkles in my latte with (of course) an extra shot of espresso. I don’t like too much sugar in my drinks. I prefer the taste of coffee. Yum!
Love the idea of this lid! My son also drinks out of mason jars and his current lid only fits on jelly jars. He needs a larger alternative. Especially for this summer!
Where have I been? Never considered drinking from a mason jar. That may have to change! Hot in the morning!
This would be great as I like variety and am so tired of my tea tasting like coffee when I use one of our “travel mugs.” Especially since we have 3 teenagers who are always absconding with one or all three of them. I ALWAYS have mason jars on hand!! Now if only they would make these in the “narrow” size because I have a plethora of 1 1/2 pint narrow mouth jars!
Thank you for this opportunity!
Now I’m off to roast veggies as well as prepare apple and carrot slices for lunches (stored in some wide mouth jars!!)
Mostly, I take in my caffeine cold and carbonated. But in the winter, a cup of hot green tea before the bubbles is nice.
Wow! Thanks for the giveaway! I drink Hot Coffee in the fall/winter and Iced in the spring/summer. Sometimes in the summer I drink Ice Tea in the morning instead.
Sadly, I am with your husband. And since someone else mentioned a brand name I feel okay saying that I like my Pepsi cold and over ice first thing in the morning. I have to ask you all though, do you have special canning jars that you just use for extras like eating and drinking or do you just have so many on hand?
If I have lots of time in the morning, I take coffee with milk and sugar. If I’m feeling rushed, it’s Earl Grey tea and sugar.
Hot tea, English Breakfast, with lots of milk, no sugar. It’s my lifeline and my daily treat!
I saw the Cuppow maybe a week ago, & was super intrigued. I would LOVE to get rid of my terrible thrift store plastic travel mug in favor of glass (and I even knit, so the cozy is no problem). Most of our mason jar glasses are regular mouth–Cuppow people, please say you have plans to expand the line later!–but I’d go find a special widemouth just for this.
Morning caffeine ritual: I usually start with a cup of assam or darjeeling tea at home, and pick up a cup of coffee with milk at my favorite coffeeshop about mid-morning. Yay!
I love hot herbal tea in the morning – peppermint, chamomile, hibiscus, you name it!
I’ve been drinking smoothies and/or juice in the morning. Then by 10, it is time for tea or coffee. Would love one of the cuppow for traveling! Uhmm but I will also need some cozies.
I LOVE my hot coffee with sweet almond milk in the mornings, but I decided to cut back once I figured out I’m baking a baby! Now I have a cup of tea with a little creamer if I’m feeling sleepy.
hot coffee
Hot coffee in a travel mug that I sometimes leave on the counter and have to run back up the stairs for. I love this idea, especially for iced coffee in the summer, which I don’t like drinking out of my plastic travel mug!
The Cuppow is a great idea to keep coffee off of those programmable logic controller (work) or infrared thermometers (cooking) any time. I like my coffee with either project.
Also a big fan of your pictures. They really show off your site.
Oh goodness I would SO love to win this because as much as I am in love with them, I can’t swallow the price tag just yet! Let’s see … I’m pregnant with baby #3 and am enjoying my go-to beverage of red clover tea with a splash of agave nectar. And when I need a special treat I’ve been using Cold Stone Creamery instant hot cocoa (I scored on the cheap at Grocery outlet) with a little vanilla caramel coffee creamer – it makes the WHOLE house smell amazing! Oh – AND have you seen the mason jars with the little handles on the side? Love those! But if I win this I’ll have to break down and crochet a cute little cozy – great idea.
I would love to try this! And…I’m going to start using mason jars for my latte habit. Such a good idea!
I like warm water with lemon first thing in the morning, followed by a smoothie.
This is such a great idea. I love to have tea and I love this idea.
Thank you,
Andrea
I love hot coffee in the winter but in the summer I crush ice and blend it with my coffee. Or it is a fresh smoothie, that i can’t keep my kids away from.
I can’t wait to try one of these. Every weekday starts with a caramel half-caff pike from Starbucks (in my mason jar of course!)- half & half and raw sugar. Weekends, the same, only brewed at home and with homemade caramel coffee creamer. I don’t brew at home during the week since switching to the train commute and suffering the spill from the mason jar, ruining a favorite sweater.
I don’t want to buy a new commute cup as I try not to buy anything “new” that can be purchased 2nd hand- and I just haven’t found any mug that can beat my mason & knitted cozy. So during the week, I get up at 4 am, but don’t get my first coffee for 3-4 hours after waking up! (Farm chores, shower/getting ready, baby care/drop-off, drive to train station, and train…)
I drink a couple of cups of coffee with breakfast in the morning. When I have somewhere to be I like to bring one of those cups with me and I aaallllways bring my own mug to coffee shops!
I saw these linked on BonAppetit.com and thought it was awesome! I love those really simple designs that just totally make sense.
My morning routine always starts with a nice strong black tea, either a pot of it on the weekends that I can nurse while reading, or a cup at my desk while checking email during the week. Milk and sugar usually added.
Black, locally roasted French Press coffee or, more recently, loose leaf peppermint guayusa. Mmmmmmmmm……
I’m so boring right now…it is glass of water (or 6) as I’m nursing a 2 month old! I’ll get back to tea when I’ve kicked this yeast in the milk ducts issue and this is such an awesome gift to myself to survive!
Thanks for a great giveaway,
Heather
I love hot black coffee in the winter and cold coffee with milk over ice in the summer.
AWESOME!!!!!! What a GREAT idea!!! I love the cozies that you have in the picture too. Thanks!
i have become obsessed with using my wide mouth pint jars for drinking all of my cold beverages! of course if i had some of those groovy cozies that you have (note to self…MAKE SOME!), i would totally be drinking my hot coffee out of these as well. i always have a stash of iced coffee on hand and actually find myself drinking that more than hot coffee. i love that my mason jars offer me a total mix and serve package. take iced coffee, milk (or cream if that’s how you roll), homemade simple syrup (with a touch of vanilla extract), a couple of ice cubes, screw on that lid (great way to keep using those lids that can’t be reused for canning) and shake it up (you can crank up “the cars” at this point if you feel so inclined). i would love to be able to add that cuppow to the routine…because i can be a bit clumsy, especially in the a.m. winning one would be fantastic, but i’m sure i’ll be buying at least one of these in the very near future!
Coffee. More coffee. This is a fantastic idea!
English breakfast tea with a little turbinado sugar! I love Cuppow – I can’t wait to get my own (here or some other way…). Thanks for the giveaway!
What an absolutely cool item!! I like my coffee with a LOT of milk and sugar, at the end of the day. Thanks for the chance to win.
I drink plain hot tea in the morning. The afternoon and evening is more varied…ice tea; club soda with homemade mint syrup or the liquid leftover from pickled cherries; or water with a squeeze of citrus.
Cold coffee in the AM with some almond milk, a tiny bit of sugar-free vanilla flavoring and a splenda packet!
i usually have two cups of coffee with cream and sugar or coffeemate in the morning. i check my email and read your posts. thanks so much!
Coffee during the kiddo’s morning nap — hot when it’s cold out, cold-brewed when the weather is nice. Always with lots of sugar (or coffee syrup, for the cold stuff) and milk.
Thanks for the opportunity!
My morning coffee is either hot or chilled. Howeve, routine has proven halfway through my morning walk I end up reaching for my coffee and finding an empty bottle holder.
I’ve had my eye on the Cuppow since I saw it online one day. I love how it’s so practical, simple, but also still kind of seems like the sort of thing that would be a parody sketch on Portlandia.
In any case, I do think it’d be perfect for my morning iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. It’s my little daily indulgence and reminds me of the creamy and perfect Vietnamese iced coffee that I love. It’s even better if you cold-brew your own iced coffee concentrate (make a big batch and store it in a large jar).
I have coffee every morning. Must be strong, must be hot. I live in Florida, and even in the middle of the hot, hot summer, I have to have hot coffee in the morning. I’m going to find one of these if I don’t win, and give it a whirl!
I put a teaspoon full of my herbal seaweed mix, several herbs and 3 kinds of seaweed powdered in the vitamix, a teaspoon of miso and a splash of tamari in a half pint jar, put on the lid and fill with hot water at work since I don’t want to deal with the open jar of hot liquid in the car. It is a savory green start to the day.
I’m a tea drinker. I tote around iced tea in canning jars in the warmer months, would like to try the cuppow for hot tea in the winter.
Pick meeeeee!!! OMigosh, I love drinking from my mason jars. With the Cuppow lids on it would be fantastic to start my day with the ‘must have’ coffee and milk in the morning.
I am frequently mocked in meetings for my jar drinking ways. I am intrigued but too broke to try this out!
Our morning routine consists of coffee for sure. We are lucky enough to have a coffee maker that has the option to preset it to brew automatically at whatever time automatically in the morning. It’s soo nice when we are all zombie-like in the morning.
This thing is pretty cool! I’m always hoping more lids to convert masons for better multi-purpose use around the house.
i love hot chai with milk and brown sugar !
my morning routine varies depending on if coffee and i are “on a break” as you say. sometimes it’s a cup of tea with milk and honey, other times, an espresso from my moka pot. regardless, i have to start the day off with a cup (or jar) of something hot.
my morning routine consists of coffee with science (brewed in a beaker with a vacuum pot…I would probably die without my Japanese siphon pot!) and a smoothie, both of which go very nicely into (separate, of course!) mason jars!
one cup of coffee at home, then hot tea all day long at the office.
Every morning I have a tall cup of Double Bergamot Earl Grey tea with milk, Splenda, and sugar-free vanilla syrup. I’ve tried other teas, but keep coming back to this one in the morning.
I get coffee in the morning, and then drink tea during the day. I’d love to have a travel mug of sorts that was actually easy to keep clean. I’m particularly intrigued because the people who came up with this thing live in my town.
I drink tons of tea, hot and cold. In every possible way; cold; black or sweet, hot: green, black, or chai.
My morning routine lacks routine to some extent, as I bounce back and forth between a strong cup of tea with milk and sugar, and a small cup of french pressed coffee. I bought a small burr grinder last year that made all the difference when it comes to the homemade coffee experience. I’m not picky about temperature for either – which is a good thing, because my busy mornings often means the drink gets made in one hour and consumed in another!
My weekday morning beverages include cup of Irish Breakfast tea with milk and sweetened with xylitol with my breakfast and then a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop to read for an hour before work. If I’m not reading at the shop then I’m knitting and I am anxious to make some of those mason jar cozies for my next project! Thanks letting us know about the Cuppow…that is a great idea.
As my work responsibilities include keeping the office in coffee and creamer, my morning routine consists of starting a pot generous enough to sate the masses, picking a mug, tracking down real half & half for myself and enjoying a coffee as I peruse my emails.
Tea doesn’t come until the afternoon.
Fun! I just discovered the cuppow recently and LOVE the idea. I drink coffee, slow dripped in a Bee House funnel, or tea, steeped in a little tea pot. Both sipped slowly through the morning, reinfused to keep it hot. (The heat is most important in these chillier months of the year!)
That is pretty awesome looking! I have a cup of hot tea every morning. The significant other makes it just the way I taught him. Usually straight black tea or Earl Grey with a bit of milk and sugar.
I drink hot tea in the am. We use canning jars for drinking as well as 100 other things. This would be great! Wish I had thought of the cuupow!
I have hot tea with milk & honey just about every morning!
I either have hot intelligentsia coffee with plenty of sugar and cream or plain old PG Tips tea!
What a great idea! I love me some drip coffee in the morning…set up the night before…I love the timer feature on my coffee maker! That and a little cream makes me happy in the morning!
So cool! I could definitely use one. I have a cup of hot tea every morning sweetened with honey harvested from my backyard.
My morning ritual is pathetic. My husband appears with a mug of either coffee or tea – depending on my request, a smoothie (for breakfast), a glass of water and my pile of vitamins.
Coffee with h&h and sugar. Always in a to go mug. I always carry water. This would make taking my water to work so easy!
Usually Dunkin Donuts coffee, or tea from a local tea shop, depending on my mood. Lately I’ve been enjoying partfaits in mason jars. This lid looks really neat, and could save me a good amount of money, not to mention saving the environment by reducing the amount of styrofoam being used.
Oh my word, what an awesome product! I drink water out of my mason jars but mever thought about coffee, which BTW must be hot with creamer…no black like i used to do in college
Like you coffee and I are on a break
I’ve been eyeing the Cuppow for a while now…..maybe it’s time to dive in and purchase one!
I enjoy cold coffee the best–lately I’m loving the Starbucks instant iced coffee, but they’re expensive. And I love love love drinking out of Mason jars, so I’m pretty excited about the travel lids!
I have my morning tea while reading the news online and more than once have spilled it on my keyboard. What a marvelous thing this would be for me! Thank you for the opportunity!
This product looks awesome! My husband wakes me up every morning with a hot cup of coffee! Hopefully he can start serving it out of a canning jar!
hot tea with honey and almond milk in a jar. yum.
Coffee with heavy cream. I think it may taste even better from a mason jar with a knit cozy.
I like cold coffee and hot tea.
Well, I do my coffee hot and a LOT of it. I know that I will not win so I just went ahead and ordered 2. Can’t wait.
What I drink in the morning is generally dictated by the weather. If it’s cold and chilly, coffee, if it’s sunny, fruity tea that I let get cold. I do however have a lust for drinking vessels. I have amassed a collection of thermal, BPA-free, glass, and acrylic bottles of all shapes and sizes. This will be perfect for camping!
My morning caffeine is normally coffee with fat free half & half. Sometimes a cup of hot Oregon Chai concentrate with 1% milk. I used to drink brewed sweet tea all day long but gave it up three years ago.
My morning routine varies, sometimes tea at work or coffee at home if I’m really in need of it. I would share with my husband who tends to drink copious amount of water out of mason jars in the evening and spillage is an issue with our cats.
I am a coffee with milk person in the am–managing to ice any of it still left by the time it gets lukewarm (about 10 am or so) to finish it off over lunch.
I have one of those 1.5 pint jars from a Free-cycle event, and I LOOOOVE it! I love bringing it to the coffee stands and saying, “Fill ‘er up!” – I think they think I’m crazy. Well, I am… Crazy about jars!
my morning caffeine is cold and carbonated, but my evening relaxer is piping hot!
hot & caffienated coffee, with milk & a few sweet things. if it’s above 75 degrees, i take it iced.
Whatever I can find with the corresponding amount of caffeine to the amount of sleep from the previous night, although I am preferential to good coffee (not the unholy mixture at my job that seems to be mixed with sulfuric acid and fish gravel) or irish breakfast tea.
I’m all about the iced coffee drinks! Of course, I prefer more coconut milk than coffee, but it works for me!
Back in high school I got weird looks for carrying my iced or hot coffee to school in a jar. Back in college I got smiles. Now in my professional life which is often in a silent library, I get glares as I take the ring on and off the jar and the prying/popping sound as the lid seals from the heat and has to be ripped off again and again while I’m sipping. The Cuppow could turn that silent rage into jar jealousy!
Coffee. Hot and black. Every day.
Coffee hot if I make it that morning, cold if it’s left over from the last pot. Hot in a mug, cold in a mason jar. Half caff with Silk.
Coffee – warm or cold, it doesn’t matter.
I drink tea most winter mornings and sometimes coffee midday, always in an old Mason Jar. If my cat decides to sit in my lap, it’s usually tea/coffee with some hair in it. A Cuppow would be great for keeping my drink hair-free! What really has me wanting a “Cuppow” though, is when I take my dog for a hike I always bring along a quart-size jar with water. It’s a little hard to hang on to his leash while at the same time getting the lid off the jar (I’ve dropped it in the dirt more than a few times and spilled it). A top with a hole would make it easy for me to pour water for him and take a drink myself without having to screw on and off a lid.
I only drink water LOL (in a mason jar though at times)
Brilliant! I use a mason jar every morning to bring coffee to the office but I always have to transfer it to a cup once I get there. Boy could I use one of those!
I live in Alaska, so it is cold pretty much every morning of the year. So hot beverages it is! Every morning it is french press coffee with some cream or a latte made by my husband with the espresso maker. Yum!
I drink coffee every morning and throughout the entire day. I also drink lots of tea. I’m a bit over-caffeinated, I’d say!
I drink hot tea in the morning. This is a great idea–I love it!
My husband and I drink hot coffee every morning together. It’s our favorite morning ritual
I love coffee in the morning
Hot coffee in the winter, iced in the summer.
I am a coffee drinker. I like both hot and cold depending on the season. The Cuppow is such a GREAT idea!
hot or cold. coffee or tea. but always in a mason jar.
I have hot tea every morning. I have a small coffee maker in my classroom to heat water in, then my morning ritual is to choose a fragrant teabag and relax a minute before the students arrive.
I love to have hot tea and hot chocolate during the winter, and iced tea in the summer. I’d love this Cuppow – may have to order a couple!
This is entirely brilliant, one of those inventions that makes me want to slap my forehead, homersimpson-style.
(Peach tea now that I’m off the caffeine for the next several months. But soon, oh yes, soon, I shall be back to the strongest imaginable coffee.)
Word to the wise: don’t stand between my and my first cup of coffee! I love the design of the Cuppow and will be getting one for sure!
I prefer tea. I wish I liked coffee! My main source of caffeine is chocolate!
hmmm… carbonated coffee sounds intriguing! Definitely coffee for me every morning. But I have been trying to figure out a good way to take iced coffee to work to save some money. This would be a great way!
This is great news about something that will also solve my morning, mid-morning, afternoon, and maybe even a 4th cup of coffee for my day. My beverage of choice is coffee with lots of skim milk. A treat would be to have that first cup with whole milk in it. Oh and it must be HOT. Thanks for sharing this product.
Genius – love this idea, and the cozy (from back issue). I have to drink coffee almost every morning – either mixed in (cold – from – gak, the day before or cold brew) with my energy powder, crushed ice and a dash of almond milk – and pulverized. Or black — always adding cream/milk first…it does make a difference!
Thanks for the opportunity – lovin’ your blog!! I do like those new re-usable glass straws (as someone mentioned straws…)
elizabeth
I love a cup of hot coffee brought to me by the best guy ever every morning.
I start my day with hot coffee in a jar swaddled by an orphaned sweater sleeve cuff.
I am thrilled to see this! I LOVE my canning jars and am excited that I can have this with my CHAI tea in the mornings!
My morning consists of coffee by myself because I am an early riser but no one else is. I like to take it outside when the weather is nice but with free range chickens, dogs, and cats all around me my cup is never safe from debree. This would make my life so much nicer. I usually go back in, dump what I have and start over. Love the idea of the cuppow!
My morning beverage is milky tea, the hotter the better. I broke up with coffee too.
I love my hot coffee, black, in the morning. Either fresh today or yesterdays leftovers microwaved. I, too, love to drink your of canning jars. I use them for everything these days.
I also love the cozies. I will have to look into making some.
I would love to win the Cuppow. My cat spilled most of a cup of coffee on my keyboard once upon a time.
Strong coffee with half and half — the first taste in the morning is the best. These lids look wonderful! Thanks for the chance.
I usually drink my coffee from a mug at home, but in the summer I often bring a big jar of ice tea with me to my community garden plot. I totally need one of these!
I like to have a smoothie in the morning!
oh. ohohoh. i am obsessed with these.
i drink hot tea or coffee, mostly, from my mason jars. but, also, everything else. everything in jars, all the time.
this looks like a great product… i have the same morning beverage ritual as you do: black tea with sugar and milk!
I love this! I enjoy hot, milky tea when it’s cold. But nothing beats a cold Coke Zero!
This looks way better than those expensive commuter mugs! They probably dribble a little less too. Sometimes I feel like I’m drinking out of a gag-gift when I use my mug in my car.
slightly cooled super sweet and cream-y coffee (unless I’m pregnant, so right now I’m addicted to Vanilla Roiboos (sp?) also super sweet with a splash of cream). I’m dying for a travel mug at the moment too!
I don’t always drink caffeine in the morning. It makes me tired (I know; weird) and also, coffee can upset my stomach… But I love coffee and tea both so much!
(I know I’m Canadian, but my mum lives in the US and is my willing recipient for things that don’t ship here)
Usually I am a coffee fanatic. I have yet to find a travel mug that works. They are either so space age that my coffee stays too hot, or they whistle and dribble, or they are just plain awkward. I have been stalking the Cuppow for weeks!
I’m a water drinker in the morning and have hot coffee with lots of almond milk in the afternoon!
I drink hot coffee in the morning, hot decaf @ work.
I drink mochas: hot, cold, or in between. Otherwise, it is soda – cold and caffeinated.
Let’s see. I drink both coffee and tea, and adore them both equally. I drink coffee either hot or cold, and I usually drink tea iced because we don’t have many kinds of hot tea at home (except jasmine, but meh).
Good luck to everyone on this.
coffee made with my zillion-year-old melita cone. every day.
Lately it’s been hot coffee. And I’m dying to know – does anyone have a pattern for those jar cozies? I’d love to make a few! What great gifts!
Our household morning beverage is a chocolate, banana, peanut butter and milk smoothie. At this point my toddler is refusing proteins, so we sneak them in wherever and whenever possible. Sometimes we switch up this chocolate for frozen strawberries.
I drink hot coffee in the morning right after getting up. I drink iced sweet tea after that on my way to work. Water with lunch. When children are napping {I am a pre-K teacher}I need my caffeine from a cold can of soda.
I try so very hard to limit myself to 2 cups of coffee, 1 at home and 1 at work, both consumed prior to 10am. Sometime though, a girl need a cup of supplementary tea. I would love to turn one my large stash of jars into a travel mug.
I make a large pot of PG tips black tea (very strong British tea). I drink one cup at home and then divide the rest between one large mason jar and one small one. I take my tea with whole milk and agave nectar. I drink the large one toward the end of my two hour subway commute. If I drink all of my tea at home, I am stuck on the subway having to pee (very bad). I drink the small jar of tea on my lunchbreak (which happens in the late morning because I work with very young children).
I love to have decaf coffee w/ hot chocolate for a great mocha treat in the morning. The cuppow would let me shake to mix in the jar (regular lid for that) and then put this great lid on to enjoy my morning
Every.single.morning I go to Wawa for my French Vanilla coffee. Can’t make it at home. It never tastes the same. <3 my Wawa!
i poke a hole in the top w/a straw for cold, i’d love to try this w/hot! iced coffee is my morning thang…
It is usually unsweet iced tea, but when it’s cold it’s a chai tea all the way!
Mason jars for sipping are de rigueur down here on the SE NC coast! In the summer (like most of the year) strong black iced tea over crushed ice in a quart jar is the stuff that keeps us going. Have to go down to pints for traveling though – wont’ fit a quart in a cup holder. Spillage & bugs in the brew are problems to be suffered – this lid looks like the answer on both fronts!
I actually enjoy hot chocolate for my morning beverage on cold winter days. Love the cuppow & the cozies!
we usually sit down to breakfast together over a cup of hot tea, usually chai!
During the winter, I drink my coffee scalding hot, and during the summer its cold brewed iced coffee. Both black. Both sugarless.
Tea most days, but coffee when I need it (having a toddler will do that to you), or have company over.
Hot tea, no sugar or cream. All flavors, all year. My indulgence is chai lattes.
Water is my drink of choice – preferably cold
hot coffee, black, mug or my thermos travel mug. Yeah!
I love this idea! My sis is a canning freak, as well as coffee junkie. This will be the perfect gift for her upcoming Birthday.
I make all types of tea (in my effort to curb coffee consumption) :
Green, Maté, home-brewed Chai, Twig, Rooibos – all kinds!
Love making teas in a french press and drinking from jars or nice mugs.
Always looking for safe containers to use on my desk next to the ol’ laptop.
I like a cup of hot black coffee before I eat my breakfast. With my breakfast I like to drink two cups of hot black coffee.
Oh. My. God. I love this.
Anyway, I do tea in the morning–Earl Grey or something green, usually. Always hot, but unfortunately my travel mug broke so I have to finish it before I head out!
I’ve gotta have my morning mocha cappuccino. Most days I get to finish it before I leave the house. But on those days that I don’t . . . .pick ME!
Oooooh that’s a great idea. I often make myself a hot chai in the morning, which is easiest to do in a mason jar in the microwave, but then this would make drinking it much easier. Most excellent.
I switch between hot tea and hot coffee…in the winter but in the summer, cold tea and cold coffee.
Love the sippy cup lid; way cool!
Great idea. All kinds of great gift ideas come to mind.
I’m an elementary music teacher. This exchange happened in my first class of the morning.
5th grade boy: Man, I’m SO tired! I had to get up at 6:00!
Me: Really? Me too!
5th grade boy: Yeah, but you drink coffee!
I’ve recently discovered flavored hot cocoa (cinnamon & peppermint are my favs) and can’t seem to drink regular anything since. But, once summer gets here I’ll definitely go back to my iced coffee.
hot coffee or tea, and from a mason jar? yes please
CUPPOW!
Espresso with a dash of heavy cream!
I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning…one fully loaded with cream and sugar, the second with splenda and powdered creamer, then cold iced tea and water for me the rest of the day. I think this is such an awesome idea, I amy have to go ahead and order some.
I That would help me drink my moonshine!LOL
Hot Tea when it’s cold, Cold tea when it’s hot!
1/2 strong hot coffee/1/2 1% hot milk made in my milk frother (I don’t know how I lived without one.) It all goes in my ginormous travel cup and I sip all the way to the office (where I switch to water for the rest of the day.)
Actually, I would eat a bowl of oatmeal or a banana in the morning with just water.
I love some dark hot coffee with no cream or sugar.
Hot tea made from loose tea leaves.
I am so not picky…I like hot or iced coffee, hot or iced tea or a cola (cold or even at room temp).
I’d love to win one of these!
i rarely drink either–but i want a cuppow for the days where i am sick and need to make drinking my ginger tea more appealing!
When I drink something in the morning it’s usually a hot tea. Although, on rare occasions I have managed to get up and make a smoothie. No caffeine though.
Hot coffee, a little regular cream, a little hazelnut
Green tea with lemon stevia drops! Incredibly comforting and tastes awesome!
I have a few cups of hot coffee every morning. I don’t like to drink from a travel mug so I always use a regular mug, but then when it is time to take the kids to school there is a struggle between pouring the coffee into a travel mug (one more dirty dish!) or taking the regular mug in the car and hoping that I don’t spill it. If I don’t win the raffle, I am definitely going to buy one of these!
I make tea (PG tips with cream and sugar) in the morning, which gives me enough energy to walk two blocks to Peets and get a proper latte.
My morning drink of choice is cold Kombucha (I make myself) and later a green smoothie with lots of green and frozen fruit! I love using my jars for all kinds of traveling drinks and snacks. :*)
My kids and I are smoothie people, usually green smoothies. I love being able to take them with me, but would like to have them in glass and NOT spill them. I <3 coffee. Hubby, not so much, he's a soda person. Home schooling mama, running four kids to different activities, all day long. Always have a beverage with me, my Klean Kanteen gets a lot of mileage, but it isn't good for hot and it isn't good for smoothies.
Iced coffee with soy milk
So much tea! I drink 2-3 quart jars of it a day (most of which is herbal). This woukd be outstanding to have, and I will be ordering one for my mom and sister as well.
Coffee. Hot in the winter. Cold in the summer. And the vessel makes all the difference in the world!
I have either ice tea, hot tea or a smoothie all from a canning jar so the cuppow would be great to use.
My partner and I drink espresso in the morning! Our little espresso percolator we got in Italy and he drinks it straight and I drink mine with milk
YUMMMM COFFEE WITH MOCHA MIX..YUM…JUST SIMPLE!!
OMG that is the coolest cuppow ever!! OMG…i love jars and this would be perfect !!!
Thanks for an opportunity to WIN !! YEah..
Melissa Frances
I pretty much just drink water in the morning, but I love to have tea and hot cocoa throughout the day!
I love tea in the morning and this would be great to reduce the risk of spilling with my little ones around. I am a new to this site and must say win or lose I love it here and will be back often.
My ritual is afternoon, not morning – hope that works! Coffee gives me an upset stomach early in the morning (sorry – TMI) – so I use it after lunch as a treat and stay-awake for the rest of the afternoon. But this would be fun to use!
I usually have tea or some kind of juice in the morning. I have coffee later in the day, after I’ve eaten (stomach problems). I’d love to use a beautiful canning jar instead of the ugly travel cup from a convenience store I’m using now.
hot decaf earl gray two sugars
Definitely hot, French press-year round.
I prefer my tea hot, but I’m partial these days to using jams that didn’t set up to make italian sodas with a little half and half.
With three boys 4 and under COFFEE is a necessity in my morning. No matter the weather please make mine iced. Love this idea to take it on the go.
Hot black tea with a splash of milk, no sugar. Divine.
Morning beverage = water. Afternoon = hot tea. My desk at work currently houses 4 mason jars for drinking, almonds, yogurt, etc and a cuppow would lessen the glares I get from IT.
OH my I love it I have vanilla bean tea every morning and this would be great to take to work it perfect and no worries about any one taking it
Chicory coffee HOT please! Occasionally, in the summer, I cold brew it in a jar as recommended on this site, but the results are not for the faint of heart. I’ve been in a temporary fling with coconut milk creamer and have heard you can steam and froth it like regular dairy products. Anyone had success with this? I don’t think I’m holding my mouth right.
I have a serious emotional attachment to warm beverages, particularly in the morning. I usually have tea because it’s easier, but I’ll never turn down a cup of coffee! I LOVE the idea of Cuppow!
AAH THIS CUTE LITTLE THING WOULD GO WELL WITH MY 1950′S COZIES. good job neat item
I tend to have tea on my way to work, and at work – and smoothies or juice in the summer when it is too hot. And, wow, I’m so glad I discovered this website!
I drink both coffee and tea, both of which I drink hot or cold. But mostly my coffee hot and tea cold. Thanks!
i like to drink hot cappuccinos or coffees in the morning… but in the hot philly summer i prefer iced coffees! thanks!
My morning ritual always begins with belly rubs. Not for me, that would be weird. For my pups. Whenever I’ve headed directly to the kitchen, and more specifically the coffeemaker, they’ve stayed in the bedroom ears down & tails between legs. Kind of needy, but I love them anyway. Then my routine proceeds with very little deviation: walk to the kitchen (followed closely by the boys), set the coffeemaker going, open the curtains, adjust heat or ac, boys out into the backyard to… well, you know, then radio on, feed Henry & Cooper, and finally – I if I timed it right – I can attend to my own needs, pour the coffee (hot & black!) and begin the process of opening my eyes & waking up.
In the cooler months I love to start my day off with a cup of coffee – that must include lots of cream and some sort of sweetener! But when it’s hot out, I’ve gotta have iced tea…or iced coffee!
My morning starts with coffee, sugar and half/half. It would be fantastic to sip it from a mason jar.
My favorite is hazelnut coffee, but I like to switch it up with regular coffee some days too! I have to make it a hot cup o’ joe, or I’ll never wake up.. it’s definitely my routine!
Depends on the season! Hot coffee in the winter and cold brewed in the summer
I usually pour a cup in a travel mug and drink it in the car on the way to work. The warm beverage, laden with cream and a bit of sugar, helps to get my brain awake enough to deal with 6th graders at 7:30 am!
I drink hot tea throughout the day, but I also drink miso soup for breakfast frequently.
I make two pint sized mason jars of fresh juice (apple/carrot/ginger today) in the AM and alternate that with hot black coffee throughout the morning.
Cool product! I like hot green tea when I get to work.
4 days out of the week, I commute 45 minutes to work. Once there, I transfer from my personal vehicle to a patrol car. Because it is parked outside, there is a lot of ice scraping in the winter! Let me tell you, very cold. Plus, the heater does not kick in until after 5 to 10 minutes of the engine running. So, I sit in the car with my hands wrapped around a hot chai to try and stay warm. BTW. There are no cup holders in the car. Who builds a cop car with no cup holders? REALLY? Mason jars are the best for holding a hot drink after scraping ice and waiting for the car to warm up.
I love using jars for everything, but hadn’t even thought about coffee! And, I love to knit, so I just found a new project! Thank you for Food In Jars – Great posts!
I’m spoiled: my husband makes me homemade hot cocoa in the morning. Just cocoa powder, sugar and hot milk. It’s so much better than the stuff in the little packets!
I am a several cups of coffee in the morning girl — can’t get going without it. Prefer to brew fresh (I have a Keurig) and have it lightly sweetened with a splash of milk.
Hot tea or Mountain Dew – depends on the weather and my state of alertness. My preferred tea is Thai black tea with milk and sugar.
I LOVE to start my say with something warm — coffee or cocoa or tea!
such a cute idea! I’m a coffee fiend – I typically drink one cup while I’m getting ready and I take one for the road
this is so cool! bpa free and made in the USA! I have been using jars for storage for years now but just started canning. Normally i only drink one or two cups of coffee in the morning but I don’t leave the house without ice tea or ice coffee. i keep a jar of ice coffee in the fridge.
I used to be SUCH a coffee person in the morning, filling my mason jar up to the brim to take to class for the day, but recently I’ve switched to tea. My partner was gifted a cast iron tea pot that we make earl grey in every morning, and its become a sweet little ritual during our busy lives.
Coffee. Plain. Seriously.
I’m a coffee drinker! Cream. No sugar.
Mornings year round its coffee w/ a sprinkle of stevia and a little half & half….however, when I’m not feeling well it’s tea, no sweetener unless I’m going for chai.
Plus, its only tea for the rest of the day, once I’ve had my one cuppa joe.
If I have time, I make a latte on my home machine. Hot, dark coffee with foamy milk, a bit of sugar, and maybe some cinnamon. Yum!
My family drinks everything out of mason jars!
Hot tea or coffee, with a splash each of soy milk and maple syrup. Often in an old canning jar, and always — or until I stop nursing — decaf. Oh, how I yearn for the days of caffeine! Here, kitty kitty. Come on over to me!
I usually drink tea with a bit of milk, though on busy days, I do reach for strong, creamy coffee.
Two leaves and a bud tea bag in a quart jar!
I actually drink neither- my sweet tooth prefers hot chocolate! What a cool product.
Love the smell of coffee but not the taste so its iced tea, iced hot chocolate or chocolate instant breakfast for me.
I have a ninety minute commute each way, so coffee is essential. I like it hot and strong!
I love both hot coffee and tea (and iced coffees, if the season is appropriate), but I find myself drinking tea more and more these days because of a sensitive stomach. I like to make mine half green tea and half earl gray. And it must have copious amounts of sugar and cream/milk. I usually have my first cup at work because I don’t have the time management skills during the week to enjoy a cup of coffee at home before I leave.
My coworker, Kelsey, has turned me on to drinking out of mason jars. It’s genius!
I start every day with sweet milky PG Tips. While I prepare my tea, I sing to my cat about the fact that she will get her breakfast as soon as I am done making my tea.
How chocolate! With a splash of coffee… and this idea is amazing.
I drink the almond milk out of my cereal bowl! I wish I could drink soy hot chocolate every morning.
my a.m. consists of these yummy liquids
first: some quality iced h20
second: hot green tea
third: coffee of any sort
In the winter, hot coffee every morning. In the summer, it has to be iced coffee–I can’t drink hot beverages when it’s hot out!
In the winter, I drink coffee at home, and treat myself to a Wawa hot chocolate/coffee confection on Fridays. In the summer, I make smoothies, and have been known to bring them to work in Mason jars! I think this Cuppow is an awesome idea.
I start my morning by waking up, walking downstairs, and pouring a cup of coffee. Usually nude. If it’s on coffee making day then it goes in a mug, if it’s day 2 coffee [which I am never above drinking first thing in the morning] then it goes in one of the mason jars that are always handy. This is then followed by the trek back upstairs to get ready for the day. fresh, awake, and fully clothed.
My coffee routine is pretty straightforward. Get up, fill the reservoir, replace the filter, scoop in new coffee, close the machine, turn it on, go do my bathroom routine, and my fresh hot coffee is ready. I drink coffee until almost bedtime, so it is a vital part of my life. AND I save jars (from Classico pasta sauce–genuine canning jars!!) for my work as a yarn dyer, so I have plenty of ways to use the new Cuppa lids. So if I don’t win the random drawing, I’ll still go buy one, and probably more for my commuting kinfolks.
I drink hot, black, or flavored coffee. It’s too cold around here most of the year for cold drinks, for me, anyway.
I steep loose leaf peach tea or brew some hot fair trade, organic coffee almost every morning
Soo freezing here in the Northeast.
Cuppow is so great!
-Lindsay
I always have cold brewed iced coffee with lots of condensed milk for sweetness. yum
A big wet doggy nose wakes me up every morning whining to go out, so I make my coffee and head out the door. It helps to keep my hands warm while he runs around and I suffer in the cold
and Yes, I use a mason jar!
I get up, start the coffee maker. Shower, get dressed then spend a few min reading the news before I begin my day. My favorite coffee is Jack Mormon coffee.
Those look awesome! I alternate my morning drink.. sometimes coffee, sometimes diet dr. pepper.
I love hot coffee in the morning, but when I am out and about I like iced coffee… but in the summer I work at a camp and bring the largest ice coffee I can with me to work I prefer glass and ceramic
I always drink two cups of coffee with a splash o’ soy milk. One cup at home & the second at the office.
I drink coffee first thing in the morning, one at home, one at work. By afternoon, it’s usually switched to tea.
Jars are perfect for mixing up protein shakes. I put protein powder, almond milk, coffee concentrate, and some agave nectar in a jar, shake, and throw in my work bag. I tend to spill it when I’m trying to drink it at my desk, so this lid would be perfect.
Even though I live in an area of the country that is hot and humid most of the year, every morning I make a hot water and lemon tea. My favorite part of drinking my tonic is getting to use my large 1qt canning jar as a glass. I repurposed a newborn beanie as a class cozy and I avoid burning my hands. The clear water and vibrant colored lemon slices make me smile and it gets my morning started right.
i like to make rooibos chai lattes and tote them around in mason jars.
Coffee……lots of coffee!! Strong, hot and straight up! I usually drink a pot before I leave the house and another 4 or 5 cups through out the morning!
Organic Latte = grind organic espresso beans + steam local organic milk
I drink coffee religiously every single morning. I usually make a whole pot and drink about 75% of it. I don’t even need the caffeine buzz, I just genuinely love the taste of coffee! usually the thought of delicious morning coffee is enough to get me excited about going to bed at night because I know I’ll soon be sipping delicious coffee
I like to change it up. Some mornings start with mint tea while others are irish Breakfast tea with milk and sugar. On days when I have a few extra seconds, I grind the beans, make coffee in a French press, mix up some chocolate, hot water, warm milk, and sugar and put it all together to make a DELICIOUS mocha.
In the summer, I occasionally do a Tory Special: Hot french roast coffee poured over vanilla ice cream and shaken lightly in the mason jar. Smooth, hot and cool at once and caloriffic!
Tory in DC
At least 2 cups of hot coffee in the morning then I eat about 5 pounds of ice throughout the rest of the day!
My morning coffee ritual would be to drink a cup on the way to work. However, any cup I have every used usually has a plastic top that always gets stinky! So, I just have a cup at home.
Holy crap that’s a lot of entries! I am dying for a cuppow though, so it’s worth it.
I make a cup of coffee every morning, and I either use one of those off-white looks-like-a-disposable-coffee-cups or a fat ceramic mug. I’d love a new reason to knit/crochet some more coffee cozies!
I used to drink tea exclusively but 2 years ago made the switch to coffee* and even sometimes coffee in a mason jar. I use mason jars for other liquids, especially in the morning when I eat breakfast in my home office while studying. But I never really thought of knitting a cozy for mind. I will have to do that right away…and then if I don’t win this cuppow, I’ll need to go and buy one! (* coffee in my book is about 1/3 creamer, 2/3 coffee. )
If I ever wake up early enough, I make freshly ground French press coffee, something dark and full bodied. Then at lunch, when I come home to take the dog out, I turn the other half into iced coffee!
What an awesome giveaway! I have recently given up hot coffee for HOT water – and love it! My husband likes his coffee hot and black. We have used jars daily for years, and just love the cuppow concept.
Thanks!
Emily
I usually wait until I get to work to have a cup of coffee or two. It’s free (to me) and fair trade! I’m dying to get a French press for home, though. I hate dragging out my drip maker since I don’t use it that often.
My current favorite morning beverage is a green smoothie filled with whatever fruit I have on hand and a hearty quantity of greens (though sometimes I get fancy and try to aim for a specific flavor profile like cherry vanilla or apple ginger – but not lately).
Thanks!!
Perfect morning coffee~Glass French Press, preferable Cafe Kubal ….. Black……in glass
Later on caffeine , tea, honeybush , preferably… black as well
Love the cozies! I drink tea (usu. Earl Grey) or iced coffee, sometimes in a Ball jar. There tends to be that dribble effect around the lip (the jar’s, not mine…) anyway! Great post. Thanks.
Hot coffee with milk, 365 days a year, rain or shine. I have to have my morning coffee or I am useless!
I am getting used to my new French Press (a Christmas gift). Loving a strong, hot cup of fair-trade, locally roasted, fresh brew every morning! I add a little local 1/2 and 1/2. If I had a cuppow, I would use my mason jars. I already have a sweet cozy for it that a friend knitted for me!
I have a french press every morning. I sit on a small bench the same level as the window sill and look out over a beautifully wild backyard. But really, I choke that coffee down so fast before flying out the door to teach an 8 am class.
Water, almost always. Possibly also a glass of juice. If I’m at a restaurant in winter, I might get hot tea along with cold water. But taking tea (hot or cold) on the bus to work is also very nice. As is having hot tea at my desk during breaks or paperwork.
Every day starts with decaf now *sigh* (dr’s orders)
Coffee with milk no sugar. It warms me up on the long drive to work.
I drink my coffee, hot, from a mason jar every morning. People laugh that I use a mason jar, but they are useful for just about everything, so why not. I’ve even made my own little ‘sleeve’ so it’s not so hot on my hands.
I am blessed every morning by my husband with a soy latte made with a stove-top espresso maker and the most fabulous beans from Cafe Fiore in Seattle.
Coffee. Lots and lots of hot coffee!
Coffee – cold or iced along with a nice supply of water of course. Mahalo for the opportunity.
hot tea for me! what an awesome concept.
Coffee is oh so tasty in the morning, and the afternoon and sometimes even in the evening.
Hot Genmai-Cha tea every morning, followed by a latte!
I drink coffee every moring! Ours is, perked the old fashioned way, it is the most delicious coffee ever and we will never go back. I’ve never heard of this “cuppow”, it sure is clever and I’d love to have one and a cozy for my jar
I’ll have to go look into that.
I start my day with hot tea in the winter, and iced tea in the summer, every day of the year!
Best new product idea ever! Love that I can now get my morning coffee in me and not on me.
Dark roasted coffee in the morning only, water or juice or occasionally non caffeinated soda the rest of the day and sometimes wine or herbal tea in the evening.
I make a big batch of oolong tea every morning, cold in the summer, hot in the winter.
I set up my coffeemaker the night before so that hot, blissful liquid is ready and waiting for me in the morning. The first cup I drink while curled up in a chair with my cat. The second cup I have while getting the family ready for work/school and out the door.
I get made fun of by co-workers for bringing my iced coffee in mason jars. This looks like just the product for me! Probably won’t stop them from laughing, though.
Green tea with mint, hot, every day, year-round, in the car on the way to work. Drinking it from a jar would be lovely!
Coffee. Hot. Lots of splenda and flavored creamer. Except on the weekends, then it’s french press and with sugar and half and half.
Coffee with cream, then a switch to herbal tea. Trying to kick the coffee habit, but not there yet!
Can’t survive without a hot cup of coffee in the morning. I typically wait until I’m at work and make some in the Keurig, but when I’m working from home I have my burr grinder to grind fresh, locally-roasted beans and a french press.
This is SUCH a rad product! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a cup of French Press Coffee every morning using freshly ground dark roast beans. I’d love a Cuppow so I could travel with my brew.
I’m a coffee girl from way back…… in fact I think I have a coffee problem. This cuppow looks awesome!!!!!!!
This looks fabulous! Depending on the weather here, it’s either some strong Irish breakfast tea or a carbonated beverage of some sort on really hot days.
I have to have WaWa coffee in the am…24 oz half coffee half hot chocolate. I also have my own homemade cup cozy that I crocheted and felted.
Iced coffee in my mason jar, please! These lids would be the perfect accessory!
Coffee! Hot! Repeat! Every morning, without fail. Would love a cuppow for the morning walk into work. I will treat it well and knit lots of lovely mason jar cozies to deck it out stylishly.
Hot tea! One of those would be amazing for the bus!
I’ve been using an espresso machine to make decaf, & using the steamer on it to warm raw milk. I need a large cup/container for the milk, & then I pour the espresso into it. Yum! Goat’s milk is even sweeter, I think.
Love your blog! Keep writing, I’ll keep reading
I love this product! So glad you found it.
I ordered one for myself last week, and 4 for friends.
I juice in the morning. This product means I can juice double!
One for breakfast, and another in a mason jar travels for a mid- day snack.
I like hot and iced coffee, black if it’s good coffee, with some half & half if it’s not very good coffee
I’m also a fan of coconut milk creamer. I drink tea occasionally, but coffee moreso.
Growing up, I lived with my parents, two siblings, and my very Cuban grandmother. She would make Cuban coffee every morning right after she woke up and it filled our house with this heavenly smell. That stuff was *strong*, and the smell and taste of it always remind me of her. She’s well into her eighties and still drinks it every day.
My morning drink ritual is hot tea. No matter the weather, I have to have at least one mug of hot green tea. When the weather’s hot, after I have my tea, I may have a glass of orange juice.
I don’t have a morning routine really, it changes with the seasons and my schedule. The last few months it has been a cup of coffee at home before I leave for work then one to sip during my 45+ minute commute. I have a ceramic travel mug but lost the lid ages ago so more than once I’ve wound up with coffee all over myself and my car. I saw these somewhere else on the web & I was so very excited because I honestly didn’t know why these didn’t exist yet. So simple but great. *fingers crossed*
I have to vote for cold & carbonated. I get up very early, make breakfast, lunch & a large jug of ice water for hubby to take to work. I used to make him coffee too, but I seem to have a mental block concerning it. Hubby says it has to do with me not liking coffee so I just can’t make good coffee.
Then, after he leaves for work, dogs & I go back to bed. Unless I have baby birds to feed. Then I feed babies before I go lie down
Black coffee for me…usually Stumptown. So delicious!
Despite years of making espresso every morning, I now love Nescafe–strong–with sweetener & freshly ground nutmeg. Occasionally a pinch of dried, pulverized orange peel is delicious in it too!
I take my coffee with me in the morning, and usually to all the after school soccer and lacrosse games too. Now I have to go knit 100 of those cute cozys! I ‘ll need a cup for that too!
I simply could not function without my morning cup(s) of coffee. My husband knows not to “poke the bear”
I always start off my morning with a glass of water and then a half glass of orange juice. Next, I either head into work fire up our La Marzocco for a Cortado or Americano, or brew some strong coffee in my Chemex at home. My drinks are always hot, never iced.
Most often sweetened and lightened hot coffee in the morning. Sometimes hot tea. Am thinking that these would be terrific to use while gardening – iced beverages would not warm up so fast, maybe. Certainly, little critters would not be as likely to join the party!
How cute! I tote jars in to work all the time. Most mornings I hastily fill up my thermos with coffee before hitting the road, but I have to admit I sometimes love those days when I forget my coffee/run out of time… and just have to stop at my favorite cafe for a latte instead.
Wow do I love this idea!!!! I enjoy my morning beverage on the couch with a little public radio background! Today it was tea as I’m a little ill, usually its a dark roast coffee. Either way I soften it with milk and sweeten with raw sugar or honey (obvisouly in tea…)
Most mornings ….the coffee pot gets to rise and shine…out comes the coconut milk and we all happily enjoy each others company….sometimes ….the tea kettle gets jealous and so off we go with a wonderful cup of tea….my tea collection rivals my shoes…an addiction only next to canning…what does that say about my psyche?
I swich it up throughout the year between ice tea, coffee, and kombucha.
Always cofee with half and half. And the first cup of the day, regardless of the weather outside, needs to be hot
I’ve been wanting to buy a Cuppow. Would be great to win it!
As a Canadian, I am pre-empted from being part of the mailed give-away. Thus allowing for my little bit of negativity, to creep in.
It is an new idea, for me, of drinking coffee or tea out of a mason jar. Although vague recollection of seeing others do so?
My favorite drinking vessels in my kitchen are borosilicate glass cups. Glass also known as hard glass. Like, remarkably, mason jars. I used to have pseudo mason jars with handles. The annoying thing about those, was the screw on glass would not fit lids.
I do see these lids to enable drinking from jars, more safely. As a good idea! Worthy of merit and appropriate praise.
However, it will still not be a choice for me; around the computer, or not. Since I prefer the elegance of a glass cup or mug with a handle and bereft of lumps, bumps and logos.
Not a big fan of take-out coffee either. Since I only drink a couple of cups of either tea or coffee, a day. Using quality ingredients; that take-out seldom offers, despite it’s burdensome cost.
I do however like and appreciate this site for it’s help and suggestions for me. I like it’s emphasis on jarred foods. As many others, as witness the feedback on this page.
Good luck to all! Seeking to win the “Cuppo” lids!
My morning ritual invloves freshly brewed, organic, black, unsweetend tea (definitely caffeinated) with lots of ice. Simply divine. The only thing that would make it better is a nifty Cuppow of my very own
i like hot black tea with a little bit of soy milk creamer and a packet of sugar. so good.
Recently, I began perfecting my morning coffee routine by purchasing a hand coffee grinder and a good pour-over cup. So far it has paid off with delicious fresh-brewed hot coffee. So that is my morning routine and how I like my coffee…
The reason I’m so excited by the Cuppow is because I’m trying to be more inventive by making smoothies to cure my mid-morning hunger pains without eating the fattening foods always sitting in our break room. I could make a smoothie in the morning and then just pour it into a mason jar with a Cuppow and take it to work. Perfect, right?
I start my day with a cup of coffee. I however like my caffeine any way I can get it. Hot, cold, carbonated, coffee, tea, cola it really doesn’t matter. I like the idea of mason jars with the cuppow lid. What a great way to be green!
I start with very warm lemon water, then move on to hot herbal green tea.
i drink coffee in the morning and i like it strong. i use a bialetti stovetop moka pot to make my coffee. anything expresso roast, italian roast, etc. i heat my milk too.
in the afternoons and evenings i drink tea. if it’s cold, i use a mason jar!
I usually like to have one cup of coffee in the morning to give me a jump start and then I switch to tea. Too much coffee makes me anxious.
Always start my day with hot black tea with milk, moving onto coffee in the afternoon
Each morning I make an iced coffee with my cold brewed coffee, some homemade chocolate syrup (or leftover crushed candy cane) and some evaporated and/or skim milk. Cold brewed coffee has spoiled me. I had a sip of my husbands standard brewed coffee (made from the same beans) and spit it out. Can’t stand the regular stuff anymore. This cuppow will make a great birthday present for my sister.
I’ll have to make her a cozy too.
I must have hot coffee in the morning. I like iced coffee as an afternoon treat in the summer, but not in the morning. Tea with milk is good just about any time.
Coffee in the morning from my new aeropress. Super easy. Now if only I had a better travel mug…
That’s a truly brilliant idea! I drink lots of tea in the morning and would love to use a (BIG) mason jar!
Cold and caffeinated!!
Local coffee I make at home…….with some hot chocolate mix I make myself, some “table cream” and every once in a while, some Bailey’s!
I like to drink hot tea in the morning at work but I go full stream ahead and drink coffee on the weekends to get through my to do list
I like to drink hot tea in the morning at work but I go full stream ahead and drink coffee on the weekends to get through my to do list
Some great green tea:)
Hot coffee lots of hazelnut creamer!
I love to make iced coffee in the summer and I always take it in a mason jar so this is brilliant!
The best recipe I have found for iced coffee is from smitten kitchen.
I used to be a cold carbonated morning drink person… then quit soda… briefly drank coffee but could not get used to hot drinks first thing in the AM (although on a weekend brunch love it!)… now drink ice water… have been thinking of going to mason jar for my water at work… this would help!
my daughters and I have herbal tea every morning, mostly from mixes they made for us that are heavy on the peppermint!
my husband makes the coffee and we drink together while we get ready for work – so nice! I love this idea!!!
It’s all about the coffee. Strong, hot and usually black.
I JUST started drinking water and tea from mason jars! This lid excites me to no end! My first morning beverage is coffee in my favorite double walled mug because I have to have it piping hot!
I have hot coffee with cream and sugar in the mornings.
Caffine doesn’t always agree with me, so my morning mug is usually just filled with water. And now that you suggested the idea, a mason jar of water on my desk would be much prettier than a coffee mug. A couple times a week, as a special treat I, have some Spice Market orange cinnamon green tea. It has been my absolute favorite tea for awhile now!
Has to be hot coffee, splash of milk, nothing sweet in it. I can’t get out the door in the morning without it! I do have lots of canning jars and lots of yarn stash, I can see some projects in my future!
I do mine cold and carbonated! Right now I use a reusable cold cup I got at Starbucks which is fantastic for reducing bottle waste. I just heard about the Cuppow also but was a little hesitant about the price.
NEAT! I make hot coffee every morning with an aeropress, which I highly recommend. I would totally use this for kefir, smoothies, tea, and cold coffee too.
I would love this! I gotta have me a mid day coffee with a bit of creamer and milk
I drink about 12 oz. of hazelnut mocha coffee every morning – I mix my own cocoa creamer and add hazelnut syrup to French-pressed coffee. Sometimes in hot weather, I will make this cold-processed and then ice it.
I also drink green tea sometimes during the day. Right now, my favorite way is to make a blueberry-ginger shrub/switchel concentrate and mix that with the tea.
Both yummy!
I have a fill up black coffee in my reusable insulated mug but I just love this idea (esp with the knitted cozies).
I love coffee black in the morning in the evening my daughter and I will make our own iced coffee. We pretty much drink everything out of Mason Jars I do have a favorite coffee cup but this would make me change that really quick! And if I don’t win I am definitely gonna buy one for me and hubby!
I am in love with coffee, I switched to half caf since Im breastfeeding. It almost killed me when I was pregnant and couldnt stand the taste or smell of it. I usually drink half a pot every morning.
I like either tea or coffee with milk and sugar…
I absolutely HAVE to have my coffee every morning. My sweet hubby, the “coffee fairy” usually leaves it on my nightstand every morning. Haven’t drank it from a mason jar–but I take yogurt, soup, salad to work in jars. My coworkers think I’m crazy, haha! Now to figure out how to make those jar cozies
Mmmmm, I drink hot tea with milk and honey in a favorite tea mug…. and would love to add a favorite jar in with my mugs with this great lid!!
My morning bev is hot coffee with half and half (or whipping cream if I’m a houseguest in a H & H free house) and always going cold on me while I work in the mornings. Fingers crossed, though I’m buying one anyway for my little bro, the mason jar sipping king.
thanks friend for sharing the Cuppow wealth with us!
oh my! I’d love to have this! I usually drink a hot cup of green tea (and am a competent knitter able to make myself a cute jar cozy
) in the morning at work but have to use a lidded mug (so no mason jars at work. yet) but I do drink out of my jars at home too…
i’m a hot tea/chai kinda person.. but i was sitting here the other day sick with a mug of bonebroth thinking.. hhhmmm bonebroth could easily replace hot tea, and be even heathier for me… so much nicer on the tummy….
i’ve been wanting a few of these lids since i saw them….
I recently quit coffee for the 2nd and hopefully last time. Unfortunately it just doesn’t work well for me. However, I am learning to love tea and still enjoy decaf =) Thanks for the giveaway!
I drink my coffee hot each morning. Cream and sugar are a must!
Hot Coffee is my choice in the morning. In the Summer, I go to Yard Sale and that Cuppow looks pretty nice! It would be very handy to have when I am shopping for bargains!
Hot coffee with sugar free french vanilla coffee creamer.
I brew up my cup of coffee from the Keurig and take it with me in the car on the way to the gym. I would love to have that cuppow since I always take my cup “to-go.”
If its a school day, I put yerba mate in a travel mug, fill it with hot water, and then, once at school, stick my bombilla in and sip away.
Strong, hot coffee. Every day. Or I cannot function. It’s bad.
Since my doctor put me on a no coffee diet…I’ve been having hot milk with almond syrup to have that comfort and slow wake up that a hot liquid provides.
new orleans style – chicory cold brewed coffee with a hearty pour of whole milk and agave nectar. over ice. nom.
I’ve never been a coffee person, but I do like an occasional cup of tea. Mostly, I start each morning with a meal-replacer shake. I’m just not much of a breakfast person!
Hot tea – black! Maybe flavored, maybe green, maybe oolong….but always tea! Can’t stand coffee! And I need to make me some of those cozies!
One cup of coffee (milk, no sugar) in the morning; two cups of tea in the mid morning and early afternoon, and one herbal tea (with honey) to unwind at night.
I bring jars to work to transport my yogurt. I would love to have one to enjoy beverages in my favorite Atlas Mason Jar!
I love this idea ..cuppow looks wonderful. So glad you shared the idea. I start with a protein shake made with Silk or just good ol columbian 8 o’clock coffee.Cant wait to try it.
I drink several cups of coffee every morning and usually black. I have a coffee mix that I love to drink in the evenings called Toffee Coffee Latte. Delicious! The cuppow lid is a great idea!
I’m normally a coffee drinker, milky. I’ve definitely toted coffee to the workplace in mason jars, usually when I bike in, since I don’t have a bike coffee mug holder.
On the cold winter mornings I go for a Tal Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte and in the summer when it’s a lot warmer I go for a grande black iced tea, no sweetener, both from Starbucks.
I have tons of yarn in my stash, would love to make a cozy for my mason jar mug if I win!!!
Love mu coffee, cream and coconut oil and sometimes honey.
Or tea with honey.
I also love my jars!
“Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” Ok, so I’m not Captain Picard, but I like dark dark English Breakfast tea with a hearty helping of milk and a touch of honey.
I’m on a soy latte kick. And cold brew coffee will be a staple this summer.
I love Chai with coconut milk and sucanaut.
*YUM!*
I have to have my hot tea during the week but I love a cup of coffee on the weekends.
I love to have a cup of hot herbal tea….no caffeine for me. I like egyptian Licorice Mint by Yogi. And that cup/jar would work just great for it!
Fingers crossed. I make a cup of deacaf in the morning, pour in the cream, have a sip or two, and let it sit on the counter all day as I run after two little kids. I end up drinking it sometime in the afternoon. Let the botulism poisoning begin!!
Coffee is my thing. But somedays I like a nice yerba mate tea, less jittery than coffee.
I love this idea….
I DRINK WAY TOOOO MUCH COFFEE IN THE MORNING AND I SAW THESE THE OTHER DAY ON A CYCLING BLOG AND I THOUGHT “HOLY SMOKES! WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA! I WONDER WHERE I CAN FIND ONE?!?!?!?!?!” THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST IDEAS ON THE 21st CENTURY AND YOU SHOULD RECEIVE A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS JUST BECAUSE OF THE CUPPOW!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the winter, it’s hot coffee. In the summer, it’s iced coffee. Either way, I take it black. The cuppow is such a great idea. I can’t tell you how many travel mugs I’ve lost, and I can’t tell you how many jars I have.
Hot, black coffee. One of my favorite things in the world.
I drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning and the occasional hot tea in the evening.
I am an iced coffee fiend and I would love to use a reusable, non-chemical leaching mason jar to drink my joe. Super cool product and I would love to win it!
Coffee, please!
First thing in the morning: hot black coffee!
I am a tea drinker and love hot tea all day long. Always have it brewing.
I’m like your hubby. A nice ice cold Mt. Dew is the only thing I grab in the morning.
Hot tea in winter and cold tea in summer. And I love drinking out of mason jars!
Hot espresso with hot milk. My husband laughs at me when I drink out of mason jars. I know feel completely justified! Thanks.
I drink my coffee hot, black, and by the IV bag;)
french press coffee and brewed tea
Some days I like to mix it up a bit. Some mornings I start off with hot coffee, then switch to Hot tea. Then some days I start with my hot tea, then switch to my coffee.
I drink hot tea morning noon and night!
I am lucky to have a Hubby that will make me coffee using Organic Taylor Maid Coffee from Sebastopol, CA every morning. On the weekends, I make tea in my wide mouth Kerr jar using organic loose leaf teas. This lid would be awesome!
Thanks
Lisa
I am like your hubby cold and caffeinated but I will add diet but only Pepsi brands.
If I’m using the french press, I make a big carafe of coffee, half goes into a quart mason jar to be drank cold the next day. If I’m using the AeroPress (the usual), the cup of choice is either the one coffee mug in our house, or more often into a mason jar. I like my coffee lukewarm as well as hot, so the glass walls aren’t such a problem. I’ve had my eye on the Cuppow for a few weeks now!
What an excellent invention! I make my french press coffee in the morning, drink a cup, and take a cup to go.
I drink hot coffee with fat free Half and Half, cold tea with a little bit of sugar, and hot ginger tea at night! I would love to have one of the Coppow to take my coffee to work at an antique store in Metter GA!
every day, iced coffee or iced chai tea: 6 oz of it, 6 oz milk, and a bit of vanilla syrup. divine! And always in a canning jar
two TALL hot cups of coffee and the twins arent allowed to talk to me until I’ve had at least one!
Oh, I love this! Definitely a hot coffee first thing in the morning if I’m expected to be any kind of productive!
The only routine part of my morning is that I do drink something! I go through phases, some days a good cold Dr Pepper does the trick, others a nice hot cup of Texas Pecan Roast coffee, and at other times I whip up a batch of iced coffee which fits perfectly into two quart Mason jars which I keep in the fridge.
I like to make a skinny vannilla latte. Yum!
It’s worth a try. Just found you and look forward to some great ideas.
I have only recently fell in love with Mason Jars. I now use them for anything I can think of. Storing leftovers, esp! Kids now drink from them-they think the small jelly jars are made just for them
Drinking coffee in one would be a dream come true! Great work on the Cuppow people for serving a need!
As a brand new coffee drinker (it had always been tea) I now find I can’t start without that “cupa.” While I am not a new canner, I am a rediscovered one. I canned years ago when my children were young, and now I am enjoying it again. So the idea of combining two joys is great – I love this idea.
As a non-caffeinated person, I don’t really have a morning beverage ritual. I do however, love a hot cup of herbal tea on a chilly afternoon or evening, and being able to travel at will with my drink of choice would be lovely. Thanks for the giveaway!
I always have tea in the morning…usually hot, but sometimes cold (when it’s hot outside..)
I’m spoiled, every morning, every day- my husband and I wake up at the same time and he prepares a coffee for me without me ever having to ask him. I usually am just asked to specify if I’d prefer espresso, french press or on occasion tea instead. This is a great giveaway and a terrific way to make using our mason jars easier to use for our drinks!
tres mariposas from vermont coffee made in the chemex with half and half. some mornings, i’m tempted to pour the half and half directly into the chemex and drink it out of that, but hopefully my kids will start sleeping til at least 6am soon.
I usually start with a hot homemade latte in the morning and advance to a black ice coffee in the afternoon. Keeps me going throught the day!!!
Every morning I make myself a pumpkin pie spice latte with my el-cheapo espresso maker. I even have it in the same mug every day. I shutter at the thought of trying to survive my day without this ritual!
How awesome are those lids? I drink hot chai tea in the morning. I gave up caffeine because it made my reflux worse.
Our morning beverage routine is anything but routine — it varies wildly from homebrewed kombucha to fresh ginger tea+honey to cold brew coffee heated and served with (goat) milk and maple syrup to fresh squeezed grapefruit juice to molasses coconut milk — but anywhichway you look at it, it would be way cooler with that jar topper. How brilliant!
There is nothing better than a hot cup of Earl Grey tea in the morning when it is cold outside! I have a big glass of sweet tea for breakfast on those warmer days. I am not a coffee drinker so I go through a lot of tea. I have a Keurig coffee maker to make my hot tea.
I always start my morning with a big cup of hot coffee with a splash of homemade coconut milk, or for a splurge french vanilla coconut coffee creamer. I then switch to tea for the rest of the day, hot or cold just depends on the season. I love the idea of using the jars for hot beverages. I already use mason jars for storing food and for cold drinks. I am going to have to get busy and make some jar cozies.
What a neat product! I would love a Cuppow!
I make coffee in a French Press every morning and drink most of it at home while getting ready. I use canning jars for everything — food storage, bulk food purchasing, water glasses, and yes, drinking coffee & tea on the go. I made myself some cozies to protect my hands from hot coffee & tea in jars, and to be honest, I’ve never worried too much about spilling. I usually bring along a lid and ring if the jar’s really full, then open it when I’m someplace stable. I’d be interested to try the Cuppow, though, and I hope this catches on.
Why don’t I think of such things? Lol! I am a tea drinker year round, with smoothies in the summer. Thanks!
Tea has been my drink of choice these last few days…trying to cut down on the coffee intake.
My mornings on the weekend usually involve coffee and some homefries that I make myself with onions, spices, sometimes bell peppers, maybe some spicy chorizo, english muffins, etc.
Oh, every morning, we roll into the kitchen, DH makes black tea for himself, I make coffee. He has 2 cups of tea, then a coffee. I’m a simple 2-cup-o-hot-coffee-per-morning kind o’ guy – so yeah, a pint jar is my dealybob. I can’t believe I didn’t invent this. I can’t believe it. Gah.
I’m a Yorkshire tea drinker. I too have been using good ole mason jars and sadly have had a spill or two. The Cuppow lids look wonderful..I will be hunting them down for sure. Thanks for the chance of trying them.
I drink tea in the morning. I compost the tea-bags or leaves. I drink coffee too. I try to scrounge spent coffee grounds for composting whenever I can. I keep a container in the car incase I’m at at a function with a big percolator. My baby worms love tea and coffee, as much as me!
Ummmm, yeah. So, I LOVE MOCHAS. I live in Brooklyn, so I have to endure the disdainful looks from the purista baristas, but I careth not. Give me chocolate-y goodness in my espresso and steamed milk, or give me nothing. Oh, and to the peeps who made the cozies: LOVE THEM.
I drink hot coffee evrrymorning and then tea at night! Would love to try a cuppow!
It’s a can of V8 on the drive to work and hot tea at the office for me. I’ve never used mason jars as a cup but recently saw a cold beverage version with a stainless steel straw that I’ve ordered, so you never know – it could become my container of choice!
About an hour before I wake up, I usually rouse, delight that I still have an hour left to sleep and when I do wake it will be to a hot cup of coffee – usually a locally roasted medium/dark blend. My coffee is usually followed not too far off, with a cup of jasmine tea.
I love it iced in the morning! I thought with winter I would go back to the hot side, but I love my iced too much! This would be great!
pg tip, baby! i’m lost without it. (speaking of, anyone else having a problem finding pg tip gold?!)
Chilled chai tea with soy, or hot “Constant Comment” tea always get my day off to a great start!
I’m really intrigued by these lids and hope to try one out!
I love a hot pot of English Breakfast tea made in a bodum french press with a bit of honey. So decadent!
Every morning my mom and I share a pot of hot joe. What we don’t finish, I drink iced later in the day. I’m using mason jars for everything now: canning, storing, drinking and burning candles. Love those mason jars!
For me it’s a cup of hot coffee immediately after I get out of bed. In fact, I get up, walk to the coffee machine and stare at it until it’s finished making my cup of coffee.
I love coffee, I love tea – hot and strong or just i-cee! I have a couple mason jars with handles, so this would work great. Please let me be a winner and receive one!
Hot coffee is a must to start my day!!
decaf americano, thank you.
I “need” this for iced tea!
Wow! What a brilliant invention. I’d love to have this to cut down on waste, as I’ve got quite a stash of mason jars already, mostly wide-mouthed!
I have a cup of coffee every morning, workday or no workday! Gotta keep it even! I like just a little flavored creamer. Peppermint mocha is my fav, but a nice french vanilla also hits the spot!!
My husband and I use only mason jars for our glasses at home and I use them to pack drinks and food all the time. I love a good glass of iced coffee in the morning with some half and half and raw sugar.
I have a cup of instant coffee every morning. I know, lame, but since having a newborn, I’ve leaned heavily on this convenience:) I love Cuppow, if I don’t win, I may buy myself an early birthday present.
Every day is different for me– Some mornings I choose early grey (milk & sugar), others genmaicha, and less frequently coffee. Almost always there is a tall glass of cold water beforehand.
Next they need to come up with a Weck Cuppow! (That will take more ingenuity, with those dang clamps and all)
Leaded coffee with cream every morning. I have been searching for something just like this! Mason jars are my favorite for cold drinks (lid with a hole and a straw), but haven’t found a solution I love for hot drinks.
I’m like your husband… cold & carbonated! Though I occasionally enjoy an iced latte!
So adorable! Love the cozies too! I love coffee in the morning, preferably with a splash of half and half.
I stir a teaspoon of alfalfa honey into a hot cup of fresh lemon juice. When I’m feeling especially British, I warm up some almond milk on the stove and steep Earl Grey.
WOW! i thought i was the odd one out for drinking out of mason jars.
I have to drink 2 shakes in the morning for a medical diet. Once those are down I can finally have my tea! I drink homemade chai masala with unsweetened hemp milk and stevia to sweeten. I grew the stevia myself, dried it, ground it, and steep it to make an extract. Worth the wait, right?
My morning ritual is definitely coffee in my travel mug (wih half and half and a little sweetened condensed milk. Am I the only one who’s discovered this wonderful concoction??) Over the summer I did take iced coffee and tea in quart size mason jars. Having a cupow would help the fronts of my shirts to stay clean.
Have to have my coffee with light cream and sugar in the morning, 2 cups please!
I love my coffee in the morning with a little half and half and sweetened condensed milk. I did start using the quart size mason jars in the summer for my iced beverages. A cupow would be perfect for that.
Homemade cappucino, yum. I have to say that I am truely inspired by all of the ways people are using mason jars. So very cool!
Although this is pretty darn cool, I have a glass Teavana infuser that holds 16 oz of tea. So if you pick me, flip a coin. Heads, it goes to 673. Tails, 315 gets it. Didn’t read either comment, just picked #s at random
Organic Guatemala roast, french pressed. Milk and sugar. Alternatively, Lady Grey tea, milk and sugar.
I love my Keurig coffeemaker with my french toast coffee!
During the cold winters I really like some hot chocolate to warm me up.
I start with a glass of water with lemon and then have a small cup of coffee with fresh raw milk and some sucanat.
Hot tea, obligatory. Hot coffee sometimes. Hot latte if I can get it. And back to hot tea in the afternoon.
Mostly hot tea until summertime when it goes iced. I struggle with what to tote in because I dislike the common metallic travel mugs, so I often end up using disposable which makes me feel guilty. Really want this Cuppow!!
We make a Melita drip cup for each of us every morning. I love to use my Mason jars and have a nice snug nubby sock tht I call my “socktea” too keep my hands from burning.
