Xiaomi has added a new thermos cup to its Youpin crowdfunding platform. The Mijia Flip-Lid Insulated Mug 2 will enter crowdfunding on September 2, but it is already listed on Xiaomi Youpin ahead of the launch.
It comes in four colors: white, navy blue, misty purple, and glacier blue. The crowdfunding price is set at 79 yuan, or around $11.
Mijia Flip-Lid Insulated Mug 2 Specifications
As its name implies, the highlight here is the flip-up design of the lid. The cup uses an automatic locking system that opens the lid with a slide to the left or a simple press. This lets you open and drink from the cup with one hand.
The lid locks automatically when you close it. Xiaomi has used a similar press-and-slide design before. For instance, the original Mijia flip-top thermos cup also offered one-handed operation; the new model refines the design.
The drinking spout and filter are both made from heat-resistant PPSU material that is less likely to hold onto odors. You can also remove the spout for cleaning.
Inside, the cup uses a tailless vacuum process between its inner and outer layers. The inner liner also has a copper coating to improve the vacuum insulation, which in turn helps keep the outside comfortable to hold even when the cup is filled with hot water.
The company rates the cup for up to six hours of heat retention above 68°C and six hours of cold retention below 10°C. These figures are similar to what Xiaomi offers with some of its titanium thermos cups, although the Flip-Lid Thermos Cup 2 uses stainless steel instead of titanium.
The inner liner is made from 316L stainless steel. Xiaomi has made it thinner and given it a mirror polish through an electrolytic process. It can hold 500ml of liquid.
