A coffee-brewing straw? Yes, this portable device keeps you caffeinated on the go — get it while it’s $25

Attention, caffeine drinkers: If you’re the type of person who must have access to your energy-boosting beverage of choice at all times, you’ll want to check out this portable coffee-brewing straw. Yes, you read that correctly! The JoGo is a travel-friendly device that filters out coffee grounds and tea leaves as you sip, allowing you to enjoy a cup from just about anywhere without having to schlep a ton of gear around. And as if that weren’t enough, it also happens to be on sale at Amazon — we’ll drink to that!

Why is it a good deal?

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

Why do I need this?

Made of food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free silicone, the JoGo works like any other straw, only it’s equipped with a filter at the bottom to keep those unpleasant particles from ruining the drinking experience. To use, all you do is fill your mug with hot water and ground coffee or loose-leaf tea, stir it up and start sippin’! You can add milk, sugar or any other flavorings you typically use, and it also works with juice if you want to strain the pulp out.

At less than eight inches long, it makes a compact, lightweight travel companion, whether you’re out hiking or at the office. Going camping? No need to pack heavy, bulky brewing gear or worry about paper filters, thanks to this little lifesaver. And if you want to make a single cup at home but don’t feel like busting out your full-sized machine, well, problem solved!

Another cool feature? The silicone tip helps cool down that piping-hot liquid before it reaches your lips, and if you want to use it as a regular straw, the filter can be removed. Plus, sipping acidic drinks like coffee through a straw can help prevent teeth stains — speaking of stains, the JoGo is conveniently dishwasher-safe.

What reviewers say

“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 pot. No counter space required!”

“I was skeptical at first, drinking hot coffee from a straw seems counterintuitive,” admitted a contented convert. “However, after using this, I now keep my hot water maker, coffee grounds and creamer next to my desk and make a fresh cup of coffee and enjoy it with the straw. The design actually helps diffuse the hot liquid from burning your mouth (of course do not try to drink when boiling hot). The coffee tastes amazing. … I might just get rid of my coffee brewer.”

“This is the coolest idea yet!” exclaimed a third buyer. “It works great for camping or if you need to pack light. I tried it with tea (just cut a tea bag open and dumped in hot water) and the tea was so much stronger and I got absolutely no leaves sucked up the straw. Also, it is an extremely sturdy design … I feel like I could run it over with my car and it would still work.”

“I love this thing,” raved a final fan. “The only complaint is that once you get towards the bottom of your drink, it’s hard for the liquid to come through the straw with all the grounds surrounding the filter.”

And to keep your beverage of choice hotter for longer, you’ll want this Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer:
