2.0 out of 5 stars
Some great qualities, but it's bad qualities are very, very bad!,
By Alex Kloumann "LexK" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thermos 16 Ounce Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)
Thermos generally makes excellent quality, durable products. This mug keeps hot liquids very hot and cold liquids very cold, for a long time. Also, the tab over the drinking hole is detachable so you can clean out the sludge buildup. Most importantly, it has a stainless steel interior. Plastic interiors retain flavors and make drinks taste terrible. Unfortunately, the lid just slides off an on, really easily. So when this wobbly mug tips over, the lid comes out and the coffee follows. If you lie the mug on its side, tie a thread to the lid, and tie the other end of the thread to a centipede, the centipede will have no problem pulling it off. I tested this. After pulling the lid off with ease, the centipede yawned sarcastically. This type of lid is much less costly for them to manufacture. I would have paid a few bucks more for a screw-on lid. Don't waste your money.

Double-walled, vacuum, Thermos brand cup - lid pops off easily,
By John Beckmeyer "John" (Pacifica, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thermos 16 Ounce Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)
2 Stars NOT 5. Amazon won't let me adjust the number of stars.
Updating the review after a couple of years of use of this product: The good: These things are great at keeping coffee hot. They are a double-walled, vacuum insulated cup. They are not those cheap plastic or single walled jobs you get as company promo/schlock. These will keep your coffee hot for a really long time - an hour easily. Warm enough to enjoy for a couple of hours. The lid comes apart for easy cleaning, there's no hidden cavity under the slider for coffee/cream/milk sludge to build up. The lid snaps apart and back together easily so you can get the lid clean inside and out and in-between. (Once you buy one, you have to take your old coffee cup's lid apart and look at all the slime you've been sucking on every time you drank coffee!) There's a subtle set of notches on the lid where your lip makes contact near the drinking hole. Without looking, you can tell if you have the cup in the correct position for drinking because you can either feel the notches or not. Can't feel the notches? You don't have the drinking hole in the right position. The bad: Thermos needs to work on is having a larger air hole so when you are drinking your coffee it actually flows out of the cup. The air hole is small and when coffee splashes up against it, it can make getting coffee out of the drinking hole difficult. Pushing the slide cover more towards the center position usually gets enough air flowing that you can drink that steamy hot coffee. The ugly: The lid has a pretty serious design defect. The lid is kept on by a single rubber gasket that presses outwards on the side of the mug. The inside of the mug, where the gasket makes contact, is slanted outwards. As the gasket pushes out on the wall of the interior, it lifts the lid off. A light bump results in the lid popping off easily. Even coffee sloshing up against the lid while traveling can be enough to pop the lid off. In fact, the lid can spontaneously pop loose just sitting still. You probably won't notice the lid being loose until you pour hot coffee down your chest. Then you will definitely notice it! I've worked around this by making sure the gasket if flipped over. Think of a hose washer laying on the ground. You can flip the washer over so the top side is now the bottom side. Same with the gasket on the lid of this travel mug. The gasket seems to get "trained" in one orientation so in one position it does a better job of holding the lid down than the other. Fill your mug, put the lid on, and give the lid a slight sideways bump. If the lid pops off, then take it off, flip the gasket, and test again. Hopefully the lid stays on a little bit better after flipping the gasket. Then, every time you pick up the coffee cup, just give the lid a little push down to ensure the lid has not popped off before you drink. It becomes a habit after a while. What a hassle! These guys need to do a better job of lid design. I'm surprised they've not recalled this product due to the risk of pouring scalding beverages all over yourself.

What a disaster of a cup!,
By
This review is from: Thermos 16 Ounce Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler (Kitchen)
How can this be loved? Yes it does keep stuff HOT! I wanted a mug that did that and I had seen this at Brookstone during Christmas shopping, but after, they were out of stock, they referred me to Target for the same exact ones..so I bought it there for about 15 bucks.. First off...What gives with the slide on lid with a rubber skim seal???? This thing pops off at its own when it wants to, so be careful! Second, if you even remotely get close to tipping this while full (like getting into your auto), the lid will pop off!! ... and if it was a minor bump, the lid will leak thru the removable (to clean) slider/closer. So, its very awkward in how it must be handled. An email to Thermos regarding the quality of this has gone unanswered. I love the mug, the color, style the feel in my hands, fits the cupholder great, but these short-comings are just too much to enjoy it. I will seek out a discontinued Starbucks Curve Mug (which my wife has). That thing is a tank! It also keeps things HOT, rubber grip, spill-proof lid and SCREW ON lid... Thermos...If you add the screw on no leak lid, you have a winner. I will pay good money for a mug that performs, so I will continue on my search.. Hope this helps..
