However, if you’re the kind of person who likes to drink copious amounts of coffee (or tea) throughout the day, I’d say the Thermos travel tumbler is ideal. You can down a mug full of coffee and then fill it with herbal tea without risking a coffee aftertaste.

Besides its bug-killing powers, the cup is comfortable to drink from and pretty good at keeping the liquid inside warm for over an hour. Apparently the 360 degree drinking improves flavour, because more aroma is released, though only a coffee geek with extremely astute taste buds would notice the difference. It’s been my trusty go-to since my college days, keeping drinks warm even on the coldest day of the year.

Intentional damage would not be covered by Ello’s limited lifetime warranty, but accidental breakage might be. It also comes in lots of pretty colors and all of the parts are super easy to clean in the dishwasher. It doesn't leak, it insulates hot and cold drinks just fine, and the coating is as tough as any Miir. With a huge percentage of carbon emissions attributed to household waste, there has never been a better time to switch to reusables.

The West Loop mug with Contigo’s leak-proof Autoseal lid is very leak-proof, thanks to a lock switch on the top. It’s slender enough to fit in some (but not all) car cup holders—and unlike most of the insulated travel tumblers we tested, it has a handle. So a good travel coffee mug—one that’s easy to hold, doesn't leak, and keeps hot coffee hot and iced coffee cold—is a must. But it has Contigo’s Autoseal lid, and though the Transit mug’s push-button mechanism is slightly different from the lid on West Loop (and locks and unlocks by twisting the lid), it’s equally annoying to have to hold down a button as you drink.The latter, as you can probably guess, tends to be cheaper – and there’s an argument that they’re easier to drink from, because the coffee doesn’t stay boiling hot. By repurposing these cups, you’re not only reducing single-use waste but also giving them a new life in sustainable circulation! This tapered, tumbler-style mug is just as secure as the Zojirushi, though the “BevLock” lid uses a slider to lock a flip-top spout cover into place.

billion plastic-coated takeaway cups annually, and that number is set to increase by a third by 2030. Plus, like all things OtterBox, it’s sturdy—I don’t have to worry about dinging or denting it when I inevitably drop or knock it over. Disassembling the lid for cleaning and reassembling it are each three-step processes—and the steps are so unintuitive that instructions, arrows, and numbers are actually embossed in various spots all over the three separate lid components (four if you count the removable gasket). As someone who finds washing mugs to be an interminable hassle, this is the easiest one to travel with—just refill, rinse, and carabiner it to the outside of your bag. That means you’re totally safe to keep hot and cold liquid in your cup, which with its leak proof design means you can take your favourite design with you anywhere!We found it kept our cold drinks cool for several hours, up to 24 in fact, not that you’ll be able to resist drinking a delicious frappe for that length of time. The interior is ceramic-coated, so you don’t get any metallic flavors, and the thin metal lip is curved like a cabernet glass. The carry-handle makes it easy to hold on long walks and the leak-proof lid is easy to open and close.
