Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug with Spill-Proof Lid, Vervain; Midnight Berry, 16 Ounces, 2-Pack

I have been purchasing these to-go cups since 2012. They are hands down the best design I have ever used, and I've tried a lot of different brands, including the very expensive Yeti's, but these beat them all. Yes, they are a little harder to keep clean, but if you keep on top of it like I do, it's actually pretty easy. I simply remove the cap and open the sealing mechanism, spray some dishwashing liquid int the cap and then spray the hottest water I can get from my kitchen faucet while holding the button down to clean it out. Then I toss it into the dishwasher with the mechanism open and it comes out clean every time. The key is to not let it sit with sugar coffee in it overnight or for long periods of time.I bought a brand new very expensive pickup truck in 2012. I was getting ready to leave for work early in the morning and set the coffee mug on my center console. When I took off down the road, the mug went flying into the back on the floor, and of course my first thought was 'Oh' XXXX' I just ruined my new truck's carpet. I immediately pulled over and then reached back to grab the cup thinking the worst. To my happy surprise, not one drop had spilled from the cup, so these have been my Go-To coffee mug ever since and will continue to be unless their quality really goes to hell. I do like my Yeti's and RTIC's for cold drinks at home, but for a hot coffee travel mug these are the best hands down.

I really like the size and function of this spill proof mug. Item arrived in padded, cardboard packaging. Arrived in perfect condition.The lid is easy to twist on and off. It is easy to clean with easy open lid mechanism and bottle brush. No leaks or drips have happened. Have only used for coffee so unsure how long it keeps drinks cold but it doesn't keep coffee hot very long. It definitely does not keep beverages hot for 7 hours.It is important to open the seal away from face and allow to release pressure before drinking when using hot liquids. The instructions do mention doing this. The outside does not get hot to the touch.The contour of the mug fits nice in the hand and allows for easy use of the release button with one hand. Locking the release button is done with a button on top of the lid. The lock button is a little stiff to flip up and down but that ensures it is not accidentally unlocked.Overall this is the perfect mug for me. I do not mind it not keeping the contents hot for 7 hours. I purchased this to use for coffee only and I am very satisfied with all aspects of this mug. It does have a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturer defects but not normal wear and tear. You can register your mug at Contigo's website quick and easy.

I've been using this black thermos from Contigo for weeks and the truth is that it has exceeded my expectations. Its elegant and minimalist design makes it perfect for both the office and to carry in the backpack. But what surprised me the most was his ability to keep the coffee hot for hours (literally, more than 5) without losing temperature.The AUTOSEAL closure system is a wonder: it prevents any spill even if you carry it on your head, and it can be easily opened with one hand, ideal for when you are driving or walking. In addition, the material feels resistant and of good quality.The only thing I would consider improving is the size, which could be a little big for some car cup holders, but otherwise, 10/10!

For me, you just cannot beat a Contigo West Loop. They keep my ice water still with ice 2 days later, even after forgetting to bring it in from either my vehicle or my shed, both places that get uncomfortably warm/hot. And as for my favorite cold-weather drink (a homemade mixture called Russian Tea), after warming up the Contigo with hot tap water, my Russian Tea is all good-to-go for working outside, even in the snow.

Nice cup. Great spill proof sip design lid. I need to question other’s definition of hot. My coffee stays hot for about 2.5 hours, give or take. It’s pretty much warm after that. I mean it shouldn’t take 5 hours to drink it but I found myself needing to leave it on the car and 3 hours later, it was warm, not hot. Still a good cup but unless mine is defective, it’s not 5 hours.

This bottle does everything you want it to and would expect it to. Spill proof, keeps Hot Stuff hot and cold stuff cold Etc. What they don't brag about, and they really should, is that this is the first travel mug I have encountered with a thin enough, and this is the super important part, flared lip! If you drink from a Yeti, every time your mouth leaves that bottle a little dribble of coffee is going to go down the side. Every time unless you're super super careful and drinking away that humans don't normally drink. And as a retired design engineer, the spill proof mechanism is totally intuitive and very cool. You will see what I mean. Buy this thing and thank me later.

We left Contigo a couple years ago because the kid was hard to keep gunk-free after a couple years of use. But nothing can replace the auto-seal function and so we came running back to Contigo and I’m so glad we did because they changed the design of how to clean the lid and now it’s so much easier to keep clean! Love this mug!

The last one I had lasted around five years or so. Used every day, some times more the twice. Didn't plan on getting another one because it got too tarnished. Well, I also have a Yeti Tumbler. I thought the Yeti is much simplier so i'll just stick with that. I ended up missing my favorite; glad i purchased a new one. Improvements: The cap / lid does not screw down as far as the last one did, so it cleaner, also, the inside seems to be sprayed with something so the coffee or whatever is not sticking to it. Anyway that what it seems like.
