I’m the kind of guy who loves a good product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and does that excellently. I don’t need frills, and it doesn’t need to be able to check my email, it just needs to do what it is intended to do.
With that in mind, I’ve been searching for a travel mug. Here’s what I wanted from a travel mug (also these are the reasons why I could never find the perfect one… until now):
1. It should be easily carried (and used) with one hand; this includes opening it, sipping from it, and closing it
2. It should be well insulated and able to keep drinks warm or cold for at least a couple of hours
3. It should be easy to clean and reuse
That’s it. Sadly, I’ve tried many different brands (most more expensive than the fantastic one I finally found), and none of them were able to meet my 3 simple needs… until now. I introduce to you, my new favorite Product that just plain works: The Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug.
This cup is sexy. It’s simple. It does exactly what it is supposed to, and looks great doing it. The lid seals perfectly (you can spin it in the air and it wont leak). The push-button sipping mechanism is easy to use with one hand and flows perfectly. Twist off the lid when finished, rinse out the cup and run hot water through the lid and you’re ready to go again.
I tested it this morning for it’s ability to keep coffee warm. I made a cup at around 7am, and when I took the last sip at around 10:05 am it was still really warm. Since most cups of coffee don’t last 3 hours (I was really trying to stretch it), I’d imagine the insulation in this mug is more than enough.
So that’s it. I’ve finally satisfied my desire for the perfect travel mug. And here is the lowest price I could find online so that you can satisfy that need as well. Enjoy!
