Product Description
The Thermos brand is well known as the quality and performance leader in insulated food and beverage products. The Stainless King series creates a new chapter in Thermos' storied history with a modern line that blends out newest technology with a dash of the past.
Why Thermos?
An ideal choice for people on the go, the Stainless King Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumbler is built to last and loaded with features to make for a more enjoyable drinking experience. Thermos vacuum insulation technology virtually eliminates temperature change within the beverage container by creating an airless space between two stainless steel walls. The result is an insulation layer that performs better than any other. A superior insulated container you can depend on to keep your beverages hotter, colder, fresher, longer. This travel tumbler keeps beverages hot for 5 hours or cold for 9, making it a great choice for long days out and about or in the office.
Features and Benefits
Constructed with double wall stainless steel, this 16 ounce travel tumbler is virtually unbreakable, yet its sleek design is both eye-catching and functional. The contoured body shape is easy to grip and fits most automobile cup holders.
For tea drinkers, a built-in tea hook is just the ticket to brew tea on the go. The tea hook can also accommodate most loose leaf infusers.
Recommended Tip for Maximum Beverage Enjoyment
In order to maximize the incredible insulation technology, it is recommended to either pre-chill or pre-heat the travel tumbler just prior to use. This can be accomplished by filling the tumbler with cold or hot tap water, attaching the lid and letting it rest for a few minutes. Before you are ready to use, simply empty the water and fill with your favorite beverage. Attaching the lid will further increase the thermal efficiency.
Leak-Proof and Worry-Free
The Stainless King Travel Tumbler comes equipped with a 100% leak-proof DrinkLock sealing lid which operates simply by pushing the lever 45 degrees right or left to open and close. And because of the double wall insulation, the stainless steel body stays cool to the touch with hot beverages and condensation-free with cold beverages.
The Stainless King Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumbler is made of BPA-free materials.

Customer Reviews
- Keeps things HOT: This is travel mug 101, but not everyone does it well. This Thermos mug keeps my coffee hot for hours! Works exceeding well.
- Leak-Proof: This is another big one for me and this mug is indeed leak-proof. I filled it up and turned it upside down, shook it, rolled it, you name it, nothing leaked out.
- Cleaning: First, it's dishwasher safe; this is more uncommon than you would think. Second, you can take the lid apart to get at all the parts for cleaning so you don't get build-up in hard to reach corners of the lid over time, very nice! [NOTE: Paperwork that came with product said it was dishwasher safe, but on Thermos's web site (and Amazon product description) they specifically say NOT to put their "stainless steel vacuumware" products in the dishwasher and that they are NOT dishwasher safe. Not sure which is correct]
- Lid Design & Stainless Steel Lip: The stainless steel lip for sipping is more comfortable than plastic or rubber. Also, the design of the lid helps in preventing scalding hot liquid from getting to your mouth too fast.
- Doesn't have rubber smell: A rubbery smelling lid is a problem that is often overlooked and something I really don't like. This Thermos mug uses plastic, stainless steel and a rubber gasket in the lid. It doesn't have any smell when you drink from it, which is perfect!
- Build quality: It's built like a tank, in fact some may find it too heavy, but it's clearly well made.
- Shape and Size: It's a 16 oz mug, but what's nice is it will fit in a "standard cup" sized cup holder. I own a 2001 VW Passat and they are not known for their cup holders, but no problem with this mug. This, again, is often overlooked; just a great design.
The only thing I can't comment on about this travel mug is its durability over time, since I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but other than that it's the only travel mug I've ever owned that met or exceeded everything on my list of what I think "the perfect travel mug" should be.
This travel mug may not be for everyone. I love the midnight blue color and heft of this mug, but my wife prefers the shape, weight, and look of the stainless steel "Contigo" travel mug, which is also a very nice travel mug. The issues I had with the Contigo travel mug were: 1) doesn't fit in my car's cup holder, (2) no escape from hot liquid, much easier to burn your mouth, and (3) harder to clean.
This Thermos Stainless King travel mug gets my vote for the best and is well worth the $; can't recommend it enough!
Additionally, I wasn't really looking for a spill proof mug, but I have found it to be quite handy. I simply add creamer and sweetener, put on the lid and shake it up...100% leakproof. I even carry it in my bag. I coerced my wife to try it and she could not believe it. Needless to say, she bought one and we have thrown out the rest of our "wanna-be" coffee travel mugs. Totally worth the $$$.
I gave "two stars" because I have no idea how to average 5 stars for functionality, and 1 star for a fatal flaw that may not even apply to everyone. I have purchased two of these mugs from Amazon and owned them for two years. I must warn you about an issue that happened with both my mugs after about 6 months of use.
First, make no mistake - the functionality of the mug is superb. No springs to break down. The cap can be disassembled for a good cleaning. And hot? Wow. It keeps hot coffee HOT for hours and hours. I have left my mug in my car in 40 degree weather only to find the coffee still drinkably warm 6 hours later. On a warm day, my coffee is still hot when I get back to my car at the end of work 9 hours later!
Ah, but therein lies the rub -- leaving it in a hot car.
I do not know if it is the heat that builds up in the car, but with both mugs that I had purchased, within 6 months, the coating started to peel. Once the coating starts to peel, that's it, it's all over and your world becomes one of annoying paint flecks everywhere. Within a short time, you will have flakes of paint coming off in your hands or even worse, in your mouth.
I thought maybe this was a fluke with the first mug, which is why I bought the second one. But it happened with the second one as well. Why? I suspect it's because where I live in the Southwest, the interior of the car in summer gets to well over 120 degrees. I don't really know, but I know that it has happened with both mugs.
The only two options for me: scrape off all the remaining paint, or get a different product. As much as I love the function of this mug, after trying two of them, this one fatal flaw has forced me to take the second option.
