Why is it a good deal?

Prime members can get this pocket-sized java brewer for just $25 (down from $30), which is the lowest price we’ve seen since last summer. Not to mention you’ll save money on disposable filters!

Why do I need this?

Made from food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free silicone, the Game It works like any other straw, except it comes equipped with a filter at the bottom to prevent those nasty particles from ruining the drinking experience. To use it, simply fill the mug with hot water and ground coffee or loose leaf tea, stir and start drinking! You can add milk, sugar or any other flavoring you usually use, and it also works with juice if you want to strain the pulp.

At less than 20 centimeters long, it’s a compact and lightweight travel companion, whether you’re on a hike or in the office. Going camping? There’s no need to pack bulky brewing equipment or worry about paper filters. And if you want to make a single cup at home but don’t feel like destroying your big machine, well, problem solved!

Another cool feature? The silicone tip helps to cool the very hot liquid before it reaches your lips and, if you want to use it as a normal straw, the filter can be removed. Plus, drinking acidic beverages like coffee through a straw can help prevent stains on your teeth — and speaking of stains, the JoGo is dishwasher safe.

What the reviewers say

Amazon customers praise the Game for its portability, ease of use and durability, among other things.

Pros

“I love this product – not just for traveling,” wrote one caffeine consumer. “It’s perfect for a quick cup of coffee, mate, or herbal tea at home, with much less cleanup than a French press or coffee maker. No counter space needed!”

“I was skeptical at first, drinking hot coffee through a straw seems counterintuitive,” admitted one satisfied convert. “However, after using this, I now keep my coffee maker, coffee grounds, and creamer next to my desk and make a fresh cup of coffee and enjoy it through the straw. The design really helps diffuse the hot liquid to avoid burn your mouth (of course, don’t try to drink it when it’s boiling). Coffee tastes amazing… maybe I’ll get rid of my coffee maker.

“This is the coolest idea yet!” exclaimed one third party buyer. “It works great for camping or if you need to pack light. I tried it with tea (just cut up a tea bag and pour it into hot water) and the tea was much stronger and I didn’t get any leaves sucked up through the straw. Plus, it’s an extremely durable design… I feel like I could run it over with my car and it would still work.”

Cons

According to a otherwise satisfied sipper, JoGo can make your coffee more potent. “The only downside is that the coffee gets really strong before I finish drinking it,” they shared. “But if you don’t linger too long on your cup of coffee, that’s great.”

“The only complaint is that once you get to the bottom of the drink, it’s hard for the liquid to get through the straw with all the grounds around the filter,” wrote one ultimate fan.

And to keep your favorite drink warmer longer, you’ll want this Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer.

This cool nuker heats drinks in just two minutes or less and keeps them warm for hours, avoiding trips to the microwave.

“I’m one of those people who never drinks all of their coffee or tea at once,” shared one buyer. “My tea and coffee can sit around for hours before it’s all gone. So I brought this heater and I’m so happy to drink hot coffee or tea all day.”
