It boasts triple-insulated technology that includes a double-walled, vacuum sealed and copper plated insulated mug. It’s made from 18/8 professional-grade stainless steel, has a sturdy slide-lock plastic lid to prevent spills and a non-slip silicone base that’s also scratch- and noise-free when you put it on a countertop. We loved that this travel coffee mug had a more traditional mug-like shape and comfortable handle, which is ideal if you like to feel like you’re drinking out of a real mug. Overall, this mug was one of the most expensive models we tested, but its performance matches the price tag and buyers can rest easy knowing it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. And because of its height, it doesn’t fit standing up in a kitchen cupboard or in a standard Keurig coffee maker. Because of the design and narrow opening, you’ll need a long-handled brush or sponge to properly reach and clean the mug interior. We liked how easy it was to disassemble and reassemble the numbered lid parts and the rubber gasket slots right in. This model is dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended. It comes in a variety of colors, backed by the manufacturer’s color-last coating you can also customize the design by choosing the color for the cap, strap and bottle. We liked the addition of the flex-strap handle attached to the lid which makes it easy to transport and comfortable to carry (you could even clip it into a carabiner on a backpack). The manufacturer claims that this model keeps liquids hot for 12 hours, though we noted during testing that by the 12-hour mark the temperature was merely warm. It kept liquids hot for 6 hours, a boon for long-haul flights or to take you from school drop-off to pick-up. This durable travel mug is made from 18/8 professional-grade stainless steel and a BPA- and toxin-free plastic twist-open lid and strap. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to maximize performance and durability. Lids can get moldy and smelly if not cleaned thoroughly. Cleaning: In addition to noting whether your favorite mug is dishwasher safe, you’ll want to note whether the lid parts come apart for thorough cleaning, including rubber gaskets and models with special sealing features.Does it have a twist-lid and/or latch- or button-closure? Do you need to press a button to take a sip? Spill-proof (or splash-resistant) means that it’ll keep liquid from sloshing out but isn’t up to the task of preventing leaks when mugs are stowed in a bag. Leak-Proof vs Spill-Proof: If you’re planning to stash your mug in a bag, look for leak-proof claims and observe the construction.Note that mugs with slider-style lids can be tricky to clean, particularly if you take your beverage with milk products or sweeteners. If you need to be able to operate and drink from your mug one-handed, a flip lid or push-button lid is a good bet. If you need something leak-proof, opt for a twist lid. Lid Style: These can include flip lids, thumb-sliding lids, push-button lids and twist lids.Look for manufacturer claims touting a durable, long-lasting coat or condensation-free finishes. Exterior Finish: Some of the models we tested had both lids and mugs that were dishwasher safe, but some manufacturers noted that only unpainted models are dishwasher safe.
Lids are typically made of plastic latches or button closures can be made from plastic or metal.
Some models have rubberized grips on the body and non-slip silicone finishes on the bottom which can be helpful for rushed mornings. Material: Mugs made from 18/8 professional-grade stainless steel tend to be the most durable.Finally, double check product descriptions to see if the mug will fit in a standard size cup-holder or backpack pocket. We found large mugs didn’t always fit in our cabinets. Consider how much storage space you have and check listed measurements against the space between shelves in your kitchen cupboard. The average travel mug size is 16 ounces. Size: Think about how much you need your travel mug to hold 12 ounces is the equivalent of two standard cups of brewed coffee or tea.
