Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This travel coffee mug brings 16 ounces or four cups of home-brewed coffee or tea with you on your commute to work or, for the eco-conscious, provides a reusable tumbler for daily refilling at the local coffee shop. Made of double-walled stainless steel, this tumbler offers superior insulation to keep coffee hot for a long time after its poured. The vacuum-sealed top provides further insulation plus a secure fit to prevent spills. For a cool grip, the tumbler has a heat-resistant plastic band around the center of the cup. For convenience, this tumbler is dishwasher safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

This travel mug is horrible. I bought it two weeks ago and it drips continuously. Stay away from it.

I've had 2 of these Travel Mugs for several years without any problems. My coffee stays hot for 3 hours and the wrap grip makes the travel mug easy to hold without a handle. Coffee mugs with handles don't appeal to me. The handle gets in the way for use in many car cup holders.
I suspect the first reviewer was unlucky enough to get a mug with a bad seal or he let the o-ring slip out of it's proper position. I've never had a leakage problem unless you count the times I unwittingly try to drink with the top oriented the wrong way :) Perhaps having a cup handle to orient the cup properly is not such a bad idea afterall.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot and no drips!!, June 14, 2002

I've been using my tumbler regularly for almost a year. It DOESN'T drip, and the sip opening is large enough to get a good swallow, but small enough to protect you and your car if you hit a bump. It also keeps the contents VERY hot for quite a while. The coffee stays hot for more than an hour (I'm a slow sipper).

P.S. I recommend that you wash it by hand. I suspect that most problems with dripping come from washing it, or any of these products, in a dishwasher (the extended contact with very hot dishwasher water, the harsh detergents, and the very hot drying cycle will misshape the cap, causing a poor seal).
