Best Travel Coffee Mug

Posted by JD 07/21/2009 at 08:31

Many of you know that I’ve found the coffee mug that keeps me happy and my tea/coffee hot for hours a few years ago.

It is the Contigo Extreme Insulated Mug. Get the vacuum insulated version, not the foam type.

I got lucky and found a pair together at a local store, perhaps 4 years ago, for $20. I’ve told a few friends about my cups but didn’t know the name or model. Random searching today found them – at least some mugs that look like my favorite hot liquid mugs. Further reading was required.

Seems they make 2 versions.

  1. Foam insulated
  2. Vacuum insulated <— recommended

They don’t appear to sell the 2-pak any more. Too bad.

I like:

  • Handle clips onto a bag so you won’t lose it when empty
  • Rubberized base – nonskid.
  • 1/4 turn lid to close
  • Spill-proof lid
  • Lid doesn’t melt in the Georgia summer heat (lost a few mugs with cheap rubber seals this way)
  • Keeps liquid HOT for hours with lid, warm for hours without
  • Easy clean, but not dishwasher safe
  • Two for $20 – impossible price to get now

I didn’t find the same model, but the description on this seems really good for $35.
