What is the XFactor™?

Starline has temperature tested our mugs, tumblers, and bottles for temperature heat retention. We have expressed those results in multiples (X-FactorTM) of the time Starline keeps your beverage in the ideal drinking range when compared to a standard coffee house cup with lid.

Putting Our Drinkware To The Test

The coffee industry has determined the ideal drinking temperature for a cup of coffee to be between 175°F and 145°F. With lab control measures in place, Starline conducted a temperature decay test. Using a standard coffee house paper cup with lid as the bench mark, we conducted a side-by-side temperature tests with the Starline family of drinkware. Temperatures were recorded in minute increments until reaching approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit. We also testedtraditional cold beverage cups with a heat increasing test.

The Rating System

Starline was able to group our drinkware into seven X-Factor™ categories; X, 2X, 2.5X, 3X, 5X, 10X, and 20X.

   These are the Vacuum insulated travel mugs and thermos bottles. Vacuum provides the longest temperature retention, especially when the lid has been kept on and closed tight. Perfect for the person that wants to have their hot beverage of choice stay hot for a long duration.

  These are the Double Walled Foam Insulation travel mugs and tumblers. Double Walled with Foam Insulation drinkware is a great choice for the people who have a longer commute to work or school, or who enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee.
