My wife and I recently purchased two blue and two black MiGo 16 oz. travel mugs. They fit in the cup holder of our car, a Hyundai Sonata, where our prior mugs did not. We found other mugs that fit, but most of them were not safe for the dishwasher. The MiGo mugs were one of the few that both fit the drinkholder and are dishwasher safe (top rack). It's a one handed operation while driving (you have to keep on hand on the steering wheel, right?). The top cover has a latch that can be opened with your thumb, while holding the mugs handle with your fingers. The mug isn't totally spill-proof, but then again, the spill-proof mugs we found weren't dishwasher friendly. If it flips over, the spillage is slight.

I ordered this for my husband. He wanted a travel mug that was dishwasher safe, relatively spill proof (you can't turn in upside down, obviously!) and would keep his drink warm for his half hour commute. I thought it would be easy to find a mug fitting that description-- It isn't! The Migo, however, has done exactly as advertised. He has been very pleased.

The overall design of this mug is decent, but the lid is not spill proof, and the little latch part of the lid is very hard to open and often causes a spill when trying to do it with one hand.

Overall this cup is alright and it seems to keep the coffee warm, but there are two issues I have with it. (1) The lid doesn't line up correctly. When you are holding the handle to take a drink, the opening is too far to the left. No matter how you screw the lid on, that's how it ends up. (2) It's top heavy. This cup has fallen over or almost fallen over several times because it's too top heavy.

I own 2. This is my third in 5 years. I highly recommend this.

Having a nice 8 hour T-TH schedule for classes, this allows me to tote around my coffee in the morning to get me much needed caffeine, and easily fits in my side mesh pocket for bottles once I am done with it so it doesn't become cumbersome to find a place to put it in an ever full backpack. Although as other reviews said it isn't a perfect 100% spill proof, that wasn't really what I was looking for, and this has now survived for over two years and is very well made (having it so long is probably more accountable to me not loosing the darned thing, as usually happens, so I am very glad that it hasn't shown any real wear after such long use). Much recommend for price and design, and if your not looking for a 100% spill proof, this MiGo travel mug is perfect!!!

This coffee mug is design to fit well in cup holder in a car. However the narrow base makes very very easy to fall over. I've had occassion that I put it on the roof of my car as I picked up my stuff, a wind just knocked it right off the roof. The lid is not spill proof either, very inconvinient.
