5.0 out of 5 stars
Large Capacity . . . Tight Seal . . . Adequate Heat Retention,
By CombatJAG (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contigo West Loop Travel Mug 16 Oz, Sliver (Sports)
1. I drink about 16 to 20 fl oz of coffee a day. Most of the insulated coffee mugs hold only 12 fl oz (or less). This one holds a full 16 fl oz because of its good design -- the cover screws to the top of the canister and none of it sits below the level of the rim. This distinguishes it from a product like the Highwave Original Ultimate Travel Mug (which I also own). The Highwave is a good product, but it only holds 12 fl oz (if that). This is because part of the cover for the Highwave sits inside the mug and below the rim, taking up valuable "real estate" that could be used to hold coffee.
2. Although the seal looks like it will not keep tight if the mug is transported into a briefcase or backpack, this is deceptive. I found that the mug did not leak at all when it was tossed about in my messenger bag. Full disclosure: I've only had it for a few weeks, so time will tell. But so far, it has withstood lots of jostling. 3. The mug did not keep coffee as hot for as long as the Highwave, but it did keep java hot for several hours, which is more than adequate for my purpose. 4. I take the subway to work and don't own a car, so I'm not sure whether it will fit in a standard-sized cupholder, but I suspect that the manufacturer's claim that it will is correct. 5. The shape of the mug, the autoseal function, and the hole for sipping are all great design elements. The shape is ergonomic--it fits my hand and the autoseal button is precisely where it needs to be. There is no danger of spilling it on your shirt when you drink, because you don't have to tip it high enough for the liquid to clear a "well" in the top of the mug (like the Highwave) -- the hole to sip is flush with the top of the cup. And the manufacturer is right -- there is no sputtering. Whomever designed this thing did his homework. Plus, it looks cool, no? I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Good mug, with one exception,

I like the mug, it keeps my coffee warm and spill-free. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is for something you don't think about with a sealed mug - it builds up pressure when the air inside warms up. If you pour hot coffee in, I'd suggest you vent the mug a few times in the next 10 minutes, because once the air gets hot and you vent it to drink, it can shoot hot water vapor out the vent. It's not unsafe, it just makes the mug a little weird. Everything else about it is great, I look the look, and it fits perfectly in my car's not-huge cupholders.

Worked well for a year, then turned useless,
By Bob Loblaw (nashville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contigo West Loop Travel Mug 16 Oz, Sliver (Sports)
Bought three of these from target when they came out at $22/ea. They were awesome at first, but after about a year, all three stopped holding a seal and the lids wouldn't tighten anymore. Contacted the manufacturer & they offered no support. Can't recommend a product that fails after a year and doesn't have any customer support.
