Attention all outdoorsmen, coffee lovers, and smoothie enthusiasts: the travel mug you’ve been waiting for has arrived. The Cauldryn mug is a hand-held powerhouse of a travel mug for anyone who has experienced the let-down of cold coffee, the hassle of blended drinks, or the unique challenges of campfire cooking. What could be so special about a travel mug? Well, we’re glad you asked.

The mug itself is akin to your standard, high-quality travel mug. It’s comfortable to hold, nice to look at, and easy to sip from. It’s the included attachments that make the Cauldryn mug truly unique. A heating element (the Fyre) attaches to the bottom of the mug and harnesses the power of its rechargeable battery to keep your drinks at their ideal temperature. That’s not all it can do, though; The Fyre heating element has four settings (hot, extra hot, brew, and boil) that can reach up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit and let you do everything from boiling water for sterilization to making soup, cooking freeze-dried meals, and brewing coffee and tea. Consider such a wide variety of uses and you begin to see how invaluable this baby could be for your next hiking or camping trip.

The heating element is extremely effective but completely unobtrusive. Toting the mug around with it attached to the bottom doesn’t look or feel all that different than carrying the mug solo. The mug also comes with an AC base so you can plug it directly into power when it’s available, and you have the option of getting a DC base if you prefer. The mug itself includes a built-in LCD display to help you track battery life and temperature of its contents.

All this heat just wasn’t enough for Cauldryn though, which is why they decided to release a Blender and Battery Combo Pack that takes the whole set-up to a whole new level. The new kit comes with the Cauldryn Mug, Fyre heating element, and a blender attachment that lets you whip up shakes, smoothies, and margaritas in addition to your favorite toasty beverages.

If you’re sick of being slowed down by clunky blenders, disappointed by room-temperature coffee, and frustrated by campfire cooking, the set is worth checking out. The combo kit is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship out at the beginning of September.

If simple travel mugs are more your flavor, we’ve rounded up all the best options for you to make your morning routine just that much easier.

White wine glass tip

Wine has been produced in Mexico since the 16th century. With Spanish rule came mandatory vineyard plantings, wine-loving missions, and a steady flow of vino.

Today, the country is responsible for some exciting up-and-coming wines. The Baja region, in particular, is home to more than 125 producers and is beginning to get some serious industry recognition. Beneath the fine agave spirits and beach-friendly lagers, there’s quality wine on Mexico’s Pacific coast.

This is how to sharpen a serrated knife the right way
This fearsome blade needs a little extra love
Knife blades closeup

In every good set of kitchen knives, there is one particular blade that most people both love and hate. We love it for its ability to flawlessly slice through foods like crusty baguettes and plump, ripened tomatoes. Its jagged edge gives us smooth cuts through otherwise tricky-to-slice ingredients, all while appearing rather fierce in the process. But this knife can be desperately infuriating in its trickiness to sharpen. This is the serrated knife - a fiercely toothy blade with a saw-like edge.

Serrated knives come in all sizes for a variety of kitchen tasks. Their toothy edge is perfect for many culinary uses, allowing for crisp, clean cuts without tearing or squashing the ingredient's often tender interior.

The martini is an iconic cocktail, with millions being poured since its inception. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was known to down martinis, as did legendary author Ernest Hemingway and the greatest spy of all time, James Bond, who famously liked his vodka martini shaken, not stirred. As you can see from Bond's specifications, there is more than one way to make a martini and crafting a martini the "proper" way is a subject of debate. Does a martini have to employ gin or vodka? Will the Martini Police pop up out of nowhere if you use vodka instead of gin?
