ContigoLuxe Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Thermal Travel Mug 16 Ounces Monaco

I am very impressed with the quality of this product. It does not leak. It keeps hot drink hot and cold drink cold. It is also easy to clean either by hand or top-rack dishwasher. I wish I needed one for each day of the week!

I've been using mine for years at this point, and I'm happily amazed it's survived what I've put it through. I've dropped this thing from the top of my car onto concrete multiple times and it's come away with just a scratch or two, and never popped open and spilled my coffee.The press to sip button on the spout is pretty comfortable and easy to use, so it doesn't spill when unlocked; and when it's locked, it stays that way. With that reliability it's very easy to tote around in my work backpack or my car.I use it exclusively for hot beverages, and it does seem to keep it hot for 4-5 hours no problem, even if I leave it in a cold car. Then when I'm done, I can throw it in the dishwasher. The sip spout unlatches to make sure the lid gets clean without having to come apart into several pieces like some. Super convenient and super functional!

I have been a fan of Contigo since I bought my first "west loop" back in 2014. For someone that is on a computer keyboard much of my waking hours, a spill-proof coffee cup is a must and my Contigo has saved me from countless spills.I also golf. And the one-hand operation of the Contigo is a huge boon when pushing a cart and futzing with club as I walk.I even use Contigos at my bar as cocktail shakers/reserves when entertaining - nice to be able to prepare a guest a cocktail and have their second already chilling in an insulated Contigo! NOTE: an air-tight shaker is required for many cocktails containing seltzer like the legendary Ramos Gin Fizz - every serious mixologist should have Contigos at the bar for mixing and service.The locking mechanism is a nice feature if you plan to stuff your Contigo in a backpack (not something I do often but I can see the utility).Some caveats: These are water-tight containers so carbonated and even very hot liquids will require regular "burping" to release pressure or the Contigo can blow its top! And when sealing a Contigo, remember to press the button while you screw on the top to prevent over-flowing a full bottle.With this LUXE edition, Contigo has finally perfected their product. It is not only spill-proof (and great looking) but it is now dishwasher safe (silver model).Contigos are not indestructible, however. Eventually the seals will start to leak. Replacement gaskets are available and relatively easy to change out but I have found they rarely fix a leak. And that is why I am back (happily) buying two more today and felt I should write a positive review.

I love the size, the feel in my hands and that it fits nicely in my purse/backpack. Keeps my coffee hot for about 2-3 hours, not more than that. Nice finish, easy to clean and have not experienced any leakage in travel. What bugs me is having to hold that release button on top to take a sip. Just feels awkward and not used to it yet.

Love this for my coffee, keeps coffee hot. Does not spill.

Keeps hot, hot and cold, cold. I left it in my car with cold water inside for over an hour on a very hot day and the water was still just as cold when I returned. I purchased one for my husband too and he loves it. We no longer drink from plastic bottles as they are dangerous to out health. These bottles are lined in stainless steel and are perfectly safe. Also, using these bottles saves plastic going into our earth. I can fully recommend this product.

Can a product be too good? Too effective at its intended purpose? I think this one is.It's sleek, professional, efficient, very easy to clean, fits my cup holder perfectly, and keeps my coffee hot for hours. No seriously, HOURS. It's annoying. I make my coffee at 0530 as the final step before I walk out of the door for work. Sometimes work is busy at 0700 and I don't have time to get to my coffee until 1000 or so. This has happened multiple times... and my coffee is STILL HOT. Almost as hot as when I made it. WTH? I mean, zero thermal loss? Really? I go to take a sip thinking "surely, it's got to be room temperature by now. At least close to it" and boom, I'm shocked by how hot and perfect it sits but also angry at my arrogance for having almost burned myself by underestimating the exquisite feat of design and engineering of this marvel of modern achievement.I demand to know what sorcery is behind the creation of this item. This is messing with my reality. What executive approved this? What engineer chose its dimensions, wall thickness and steel type? Who designed the cap and pouring mechanism because they need a FKNG AWARD. They need to be publicly recognized for outstanding achievement in raising the bar for this seemingly insignificant yet profoundly important modern convenience of 1st world comfort.

I had another Contigo travel mug similar to this one for years but it was finally time to get a new one. I do like that this one says it's dishwasher safe unlike my old one. However, the blue coating is peeling off and I don't know if that's cleaning it in the dishwasher or not. It doesn't affect how the mug works, it still keeps my coffee hot and doesn't spill or leak unlike other brands I've tried. But for the price I feel like the coating shouldn't peel and that's why I can't give it 5 stars.
