Finally, a GREAT Travel Mug,

This review is from: Thermos Stainless King SK1005MB4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
I've been using travel mugs for years now and I've had some pretty good ones, but I've never had one that met all my criteria for a well designed travel mug until now. What makes this travel mug so great (and those that have been using travel mugs for a while will understand what I'm talking about) is:
- 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!

Holy Cow, this is a good mug!!!,

This review is from: Thermos Stainless King SK1005MB4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
I typically pour my coffee around 7:20am and by 8:45 it is ice cold and I never finish it. I have been through countless mugs, but none keep it warm, much less hot, for more than 45 minutes. I have been wanting a mug to keep my coffee hot for most of the morning, but my wife just said I drink it too slow. But along comes this king. WOW! This mug keeps my coffee hot, and I mean piping hot. I have made it to 11:45 with some coffee remaining and it was still very hot. I guess it would stay hot for an hour or two longer, but I never make it that long before I finish it. And the outside of the mug is cool / cold to the touch...you would never know it was hot inside.
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 $$$.

At first, I thought it was just about perfect...,

This review is from: Thermos Stainless King SK1005MB4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)
Pros: Easily cleaned, keeps liquid hot for a lengthy period of time, durable, truly leak-proof (so far), extra capacity is great for those of us who want a lot of coffee or tea.
Cons: While the extra capacity is great, it necessarily means that the container might be uncomfortable to hold for those with small hands. It also lacks a handle--having one would reduce the potential of dropping it (which I did--read on). A note of caution: Amazon did a very poor job packing this item, and it rolled freely around in the shipping box. As a result, the finish was damaged in transit. However, Amazon gave me an additional 20% off the price of the mug, which was an acceptable trade-off (especially considering that I dropped the mug during the first week of use and dented it!). Speaking of the dent, the mug is extremely durable--it fell from about 6 feet or so, and was dented in such a way that the mug no longer sat flush on a flat surface. I used a hammer to flatten out the bottom, and while the mug now has some significant cosmetic damage, it still works PERFECTLY! All things considered, this is the best travel mug I've ever owned. Previously, I used this one: Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug I did not like it because the rubberized handle got nastily sticky over time. This mug is much better. EDIT/FOLLOW-UP: I have used the mugs for a few weeks now, and have two minor complaints: 1) It is not always leak-proof--usually, but not always. Disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the lid seems to do the trick. 2) My second complaint is more of an issue for me: the silicone parts of the lid retain the odors of coffee and tea--washing the parts repeatedly and soaking them in detergent overnight does not get rid of the smell. This is annoying when drinking afternoon tea and having the strong smell of coffee interfere with the taste of the tea. However, as most leak-proof mugs probably use silicone to prevent spillage, I'll either have to get a mug that is not leak-proof, or just deal with it. As a result of these issues, I dropped a star--still good, but not perfect. EDIT #2: Never put this mug in a back pack or briefcase. You'll be sorry. It is not leak proof. I now give it 3 stars.
