Travel Mugs - The good & bad

[Slab]

I like my coffee on the morning commute, its normally my 2nd cup of the day and keeps me going until I get to work (especially if its a bad traffic day) and the travel mug would appear to be a nice idea for coffee on the move, but...

I've had more travel mugs than I can remember because mostly they are poor products

It needs to do two things, keep it hot & don't leak (& easy to clean is a bonus 3rd thing)

So after the latest leak on this mornings drive my latest one (only one month old) is in the bin outside the office and I'm trying to dry the cleaned up stain on my shirt

I get that the 'free' ones given away with this or that product will be naff but I don't expect ones I've paid for to fail so quickly (and they all fail sooner than I'd expect)

How much do I need to pay for a good one and what do other users recommend?
(I prefer a 'no handle' design)

Travel mugs, all they remind me of is those obese Americans and Canadians propping up the bar on all exclusive Caribbean holidays.
Sorry, that was absolutely no use to you at all but I feel better now 😁

Dare I say it, but the ones from Starbucks are pretty good...

And tax free too! (well for them it is )

We must be the only country not to have a starbucks though

Just thought, look at Avex as they do a travel mug. I have the Highland Autoseal and it keeps my brew hot for ages and doesn't leak either. http://www.avexoutdoor.com/16-oz-extreme-stainless-travel-mug.html

Bodum do a good one that the top screws on , mine hasn't leaked once is 2 years of daily use.
Also doubles up as a cafetière as you get two lids.

I have the same one! This is my second one, and I would not have another. Only got this one as i dropped the previous one and it broke
