Stanley Travel Mugs - Review Of The Number One For Keeping Coffee Hot

In my tests to find out which travel mug keeps coffee hottest , Stanley travel mugs rank at the top with the Stanley Transit Bottle in the number one spot!

The Stanley travel coffee cup and insulated thermos bottle have long been iconic, with a reputation for their durability and ability to keep drinks hot or cold. In this Stanley travel coffee cup review I look in depth at the Stanley Aerolight and Stanley Trigger Action travel mugs. 

What We Like

What we don't like.

• High performance in insulation tests
• Slim designs fit car cupholders and are comfortable to carry
• 100% Leak Proof
• Dishwasher Safe
• Lifetime Warranty (Limited)
• Lid cleaning is not as simple as some other travel mugs

Stanley Trigger Action Travel Mug Review

Stanley classic trigger action 12oz.

Stanley Classic Trigger Action 16oz

Just like the Stanley Aerolight, the Stanley Classic Trigger Action travel mug is another great Stanley travel coffee cup. The insulation performance is pretty close to the Aerolight and can win if you use the Aerolight with its drinking lid open for long periods. The Trigger Action has the advantage of retaining heat equally as well even when you’re sipping from the mug as very little air will enter through the trigger action drinking hole. 

Since the temperture retention performance is closely matched, the main differences between the Aerolight and Trigger Action are:

• The Trigger Action allows for one handed opening/drinking, two hands are needed with the Aerolight. 
• The Trigger Action lid comes apart a lot more easily for cleaning but it has some spots which are still hard to clean thoroughly. 
• The Trigger Action travel mug exterior coating/color options have different finishes. Hammertone color options have a textured glossy enamel like finish. Some of the other color options have a powder coated finish and others have a smooth glossy or matte finish. These finishes on the Trigger Action mug feel more robust and durable than the Aerolight finish. 
• The 16oz Aerolight is 4oz lighter than the 16oz Trigger Action mug. The Trigger Action is also slightly taller and wider but it will still fit in most cup holders. The Aerolight is just a little more compact overall for packing in a handbag for example. I find the Trigger Action mug has a bit more of a masculine look, but both mugs are stylish.
• Per the Aerolight, we have found the Trigger Action mugs to be completely leak proof after using for many months. One thing to be careful of though is that you don’t accidentally press on the trigger and let a little bit of water escape. I’ve seen a few occasions were a little bit of water dripped out of the drinking hole as the water had been released but was sitting inside the lid until it was turned upside down. 

Stanley Classic Trigger Action Lid

The lid on the Trigger Action mugs has a small drinking spout on top and a button opposite which you press to slightly open the spout. The spout only opens whilst the button or trigger is being pressed and as soon as you release it the lid is sealed shut again. There is no mechanism to lock the lid into an open position on this mug, which some people may prefer. 

The lid is sized and shaped so that you can grip around the lid and press the button at the same time, allowing for one handed lifting and drinking. I’ve found this most useful when out on a walk or shopping for example where two handed operation can be awkward and cumbersome. 

Like the Stanley Aerolight, the Trigger Action lid is a bit harder to clean than some other travel mugs. This might not be too much of a concern if you plan to use it for only black coffee or water, or if you always rinse soon after you’re finished drinking. Dismantling the lid is pretty intuitive but I’ve added some instructions at the end of this review.

Promo code for stanley.

There a few ways to get a discount on Stanley products, some require a promo code and some don’t.

• If you sign up to the Stanley Newsletter you can get 10% discount on your first order. This is a nice discount if you are planning to buy a few products. You’ll receive a promo code from Stanley in your inbox to use at the checkout. 
• If you are an active service member you are eligible for the Stanley military discount. The discount is typically 20% but may not apply to all items. Sometimes Stanley run special events where even higher discounts are provided. Students, teachers, nurses, first responders and hospital workers are also eligible for Stanley discounts. You can verify your eligibility for discount on the Stanley website. 
• Stanley sometimes put items into sale, for example this 16oz Trigger Action mug is now less than half price. 

Stanley Travel Mug Warranty

Stanley are one of the few travel mug brands that provide a lifetime warranty. The warranty is however limited to the stainless steel part of the mug and covers defects as well as any deterioration in the thermal performance. I think that gives good peace of mind when purchasing a Stanley travel coffee cup, you won’t end up with a product that doesn’t work as well a year or two later.

Normal wear and tear are not covered as expected, so you cannot claim for dents or scratches that might develop over time.

Testament to Stanley’s quality and durability I have never yet had to make a warranty claim. I have read a lot of user reviews for Stanley products before purchasing and only saw positive experiences with Stanley warranty and customer service. 

Stanley Travel Mug Specifcations

How to dismantle and clean the stanley trigger action lid.

The leaflet which comes with the Stanley Trigger Action mug includes some good instructions for cleaning the trigger action lid. I’ve included a picture of the instructions below for reference and some photographs of the dismantled lid.  

As you can see there are some nooks and crannies to clean around. I use a tooth brush to scrub around the inside fo the lid and around the spring. I remove the gasket as well as the small black piece at the end of the spring. These remove and refit easily.

Stanley Classic One Hand Vacuum Mug Review

Stanley products have been around for more than a century, and are well-loved by multiple generations. The reason is simple — they make exceptional, reliable products. The One Hand Trigger Action Mug comes from this revered lineage, and we expect it to perform just as well.

How We Rated It

• Performance
• Value For Money

Design – 4.5/5

The Stanley Classic is a no-frills travel mug with an aesthetically-pleasing retro style. It has the classic Stanley look, especially in the hammertone green colour. If you’re not a fan of the green, the mug now comes in a range of more than 10 colours.

The Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug is available in 250 ml, 350 ml, and 470 ml sizes.

The robust design is all about practicality and functionality, and is perfect for hikes and travels! ( 1 )

Whether you are planning an extended wilderness backpacking excursion or you plan to do a bit of car camping, don’t leave home without coffee!

It has an incredibly durable 18/8 stainless steel body, and a BPA-free plastic screw-on lid. The vacuum insulated construction ensures that the outer surface of the travel mug remains condensation-free, and the lid is 100% leakproof. The lid also features a handy trigger mechanism , that allows you to drink with one hand . Although it doesn’t have any handle or finger loop, it’s designed to fit in most cupholders

Performance – 4.5/5

Stanley is a pioneer in vacuum insulated thermoses ( 2 ), so it’s no surprise that this practical travel mug doesn’t disappoint. The Stanley Travel Mug is designed to keep your coffee piping hot , but the duration depends on the size — 3 hours for 250 ml, 5 hours for 350 ml, and 7 hours for 470 ml. Your mileage may vary based on how frequently you’re sipping from it. We can’t fault it when it comes to keeping drinks cold either.

The one-hand operation works flawlessly. You just push a button to open the sipping hole and release the button to close it.

And once it’s closed, there are zero leaks from the bottle.

The cleaning process, you ask? Also effortless! The Stanley Classic is entirely dishwasher safe. You can even disassemble the lid for deep cleaning, so there’s no chance of grime collecting inside the push button mechanism.

Value For Money – 4.5/5

You know how grandparents claim that things they bought back-then were built to last? Well, Stanley products are one of them.

Invented in 1913 and used by pilots during World War II ( 3 ), we believe they know a thing or two about quality and durability. The Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug is no exception. It’s built to bear the brunt of an adventurous lifestyle and comes with a lifetime warranty . This travel mug is probably going to last you forever, which makes it excellent value for money .

Do Not Buy The Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug If…

You want a travel mug that you can attach to your gear – If you’re going cycling or hiking, you’ll probably want a mug you can attach to your backpack with a carabiner. Check out the CamelBak Forge. This leak-proof travel mug comes with a handy finger-carry loop and an impact cap on the bottom.

You want to brew and drink from the same mug – If you want to enjoy fresh-brewed coffee wherever you are, you’ll need a portable coffee maker. The Espro Travel Coffee Press lets you brew French press style coffee and keeps it hot for hours. Find out all about it in our review .

You want a stylish, modern travel mug – If you want your travel mug to looks stylish and modern, you might want to take a look at the KeepCup Brew Glass. It will definitely catch the attention of the barista when you ask for a refill. Despite being made of toughened glass, we didn’t find it to be travel-friendly when we reviewed it here .

The Zojirushi travel mug is a more travel-friendly option. Compared to the Stanley mug, it can keep your coffee hot for just as long, if not more. You can see how it compares to the Stanley mug in other areas in our in-depth review .

The Verdict On The Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug 4.5/5

The Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug is one of our favourite travel mugs due to its tank-like build quality, leak-proof lid, and one-handed operation.

SEE ON AMAZON

While its classic stainless steel design might not be to everyone’s liking, this travel mug is guaranteed to keep your coffee or tea hot for hours. That makes the Stanley Classic Mug perfect for sipping on your hot beverage, whether you’re out camping or on your daily commute.

The Stanley Promise

Full Review

If your morning routine always starts (and ends) with a hot cup of joe, you’ll be pleased to meet the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz. Of course, you can use it for other beverages like tea, lemonade, or apple juice (carbonated drinks are not recommended). But we’ve found it to excel most as a portable coffee mug—keeping that liquid gold warm all morning whether we’re at work or on the go.

We’ve been testing the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz for about three weeks with mostly good things to report.

Let’s get to it.

Features & Usage

Stanley has been around for a long time—since 1913, to be exact—and we appreciate the way their Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz marries classic design with modern functionality. Especially with the Hammertone Green colorway we’ve been testing with. We’re digging its earthy vibe that reminds us of campsites, the smell of pine, and simpler times.

At the time of this review, this bottle is also available in four other different colorways—some of which have a more sleek, modern aesthetic if that’s more your style.

The Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is made with durable 18/8 stainless steel that doesn’t hold onto coffee smells or stains. It also touts double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps your coffee or tea hot all morning. Stanley claims it’ll keep drinks warm for up to five hours, and we’re happy to report that this has been a pretty accurate estimate during our testing. It’s done a great job of keeping our java warm enough to savor all morning.

It will also keep drinks cold if you’re in the mood for iced coffee or water. That said, at 12oz, we’ve found the capacity to be a little too small to use as a water bottle. If you’re looking to carry more water and want to stay in the Stanley realm, perhaps check out the Stanley Classic Easy Clean Water Bottle 25oz .

And, weighing in at .68 lbs (or roughly 10.8 oz) empty, the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is relatively lightweight. Now, it’s not ultralight by any means but it is lighter than some other insulated stainless steel bottles we’ve tested of the same size. ( The YETI Rambler 12oz Bottle With HotShot Cap , for example, weighs 16 oz empty.)

The thing that sets this Stanley mug apart, we think, is its trigger-action lid. With a push-button that stays sealed until you press it, it’s great at preventing leaks if (let’s be honest, when ) it falls over. To get the liquid flowing, you just push down on the trigger button, tip, and enjoy. It’s so easy you can do it with one hand. (This mug makes anyone a coffee-drinking pro.)

We’ve been tossing this mug into our packs, turning it in every direction, knocking it over (both on accident and on purpose), and we haven’t had any leaks so far—the lid stays sealed. Obviously, this is a pro as you don’t have to worry about spills. But we’ve also found it to be a con too—it’s difficult to let that piping hot coffee vent, unless you remove the lid completely. Every now and then we get a sip of coffee or tea that’s almost too hot. This isn’t a deal-breaker, but sometimes it’s a tongue-burner.

Thanks to this lid, the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz is becoming one of our favorites we’ve tested so far. It may sound small, but not having to fuss with twisting or removing a lid is super convenient—you can grab a sip quick and easy with one hand. This feature really shines while driving (or sitting on the couch swiping through Pack Hacker Instagram stories). And its leak-resistance means you should be safe to keep this thing on your desk near your precious tech (we have been anyway).

Plus, the lid is easy to take apart when in need of a wash. Just untwist the top lid, turn the handle underneath the lid, and pull. The inner piece should come right out. Then throw all three pieces of the mug in the dishwasher (yeah, it’s dishwasher safe) and voila—it’s ready for the next use. We’ve also been washing the mug by hand, however, the lid is not as easy to clean this way as others we’ve tested. There are some small spaces inside the cap that are a little difficult to reach. It’s not a deal-breaker, especially since everything is dishwasher safe, but it’s something to note.

Something else we want to note is that there’s no handle on the outside of this mug. So you can’t clip it to your pack with a carabiner or hook it around a finger if your hands are full but you can’t not bring the coffee. It also keeps the profile of this mug sleek. And since it’s highly leak-resistant, you can toss it in a water bottle pocket—or directly inside your pack—when needed.

As far as durability is concerned, everything is looking good. Like we said at the beginning of this review, we’ve been testing the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz every day for about three weeks now—mainly to savor our daily dose of coffee. And there are no scratches or dents to report. We haven’t dropped it down any rocky cliffs, but it’s held up well to normal, daily use.

Usage Timeline

Condition: Excellent

• Trigger activated lid lets you control the flow of liquid
• Lid seals when not in use to prevent links and splashes
• Made of sturdy stainless steel

We’ve been loving the trigger cap on this! It’s great for one-handed coffee drinking. This is especially great while driving. You can just pick it up and drink. Other coffee thermoses still have a small opening that hot coffee can splash up through and this just eliminates that problem.

Still loving it, but the lid has been a little hard to clean. We had luck getting in there with a q-tip to clean the tight spaces.

1. MiiR Flip Traveler

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 2.75 x 7.25 inches | Weight: 10.2 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 9

The MiiR Flip Traveler is one of the best travel coffee mugs we’ve tested, offering a compact cup that will keep your liquids hot or cold for hours. Coming in 9 different colors, the double wall vacuum-insulated stainless steel body holds 16 fluid ounces of liquid. Although there are 12 and 20 fluid ounce capacities available too. The cup itself is very light, coming in it at 10.2 ounces.

The unique lid on top flips out when you need to drink and is secure when you need it locked in. But right after you drink, a small amount of liquid can gather on the lid, leaking to tiny droplets getting in places they shouldn’t. Also, if you don’t lock the lid firmly in place, it can spill. There’s nothing worse than having hot tea on your electronics because you didn’t make sure the lid was completely down.

It was one of the best we tested at keeping liquids consistently hot. Our testing started at 203 degrees Fahrenheit, only to drop to 178 after two hours, 154 after five hours, and 126 after 10 hours. Other cups paled in comparison, with the MiiR outclassing them in the category that is, literally and figuratively, the hottest.

Washing the cup is super simple and the lid doesn’t need to be taken apart to be put in the dishwasher. The whole cup is fairly durable and comfortable to hold. Overall, MiiR offers a fantastic travel mug with few downsides, keeping everything cool and on the inside. Give it a try if you are looking for a mug that offers everything you’d need. 

2. Stanley Classic Trigger Action Travel Mug

Best budget and best durable

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: ‎2.9 x 8.9 inches | Weight: 8 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 18

Stanley is a brand built for rugged adventures and their Trigger Action Travel Mug is no exception. The strong, durable exterior claims that it has survived a bullet so it should be able to handle whatever you can throw at it. Made of stainless steel, the double-wall vacuum insulation creates a sturdy mug that weighs 12.8 ounces and holds 16 ounces, making it one of the heaviest we reviewed. A 20 ounce capacity is available too, which will no doubt weigh even more — we tested the 16 ounce capacity. 

The lid is also built to last, having a unique trigger system that lets you take a sip by just pressing the button. Though the lid is useful, it does tend to leave a bit of water in the mouthpiece if you close it too quickly. But other than the occasional dribble, it won’t leak even when turned upside down and severely shaken. The whole cup is dishwasher safe, but you might want to think twice about taking apart the lid. It's a bit difficult to reassemble, especially when you haven’t rebuilt it before. 

It kept the heat in fairly well, starting at 204 degrees Fahrenheit, dropping to 176 at two hours, 152 at five, and 125 hours at 10. But when it does have a hot liquid in it, the heat only breaks through a bit allowing you to hold even scolding beverages without a problem. 

While the MSRP is $25, it can often be found for $17.50, so you are getting one of the best travel coffee mugs out there for a great price. Even if you aren’t the adventurous type and just need something to shove in your cup holder that won’t tip over, then Stanley is your guy.

3. Hydro Flask Coffee with Flex Sip Lid

Capacity: 20 fluid ounces | Dimensions: ‎2.9 x 9.3 inches | Weight: 13.2 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 14

Hydro Flask is one of the most popular brands for travel mugs and cups for a very good reason. Available in multiple sizes, from 12 to 40 ounces, and in 11 colors, this travel mug features double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your drinks at the right temperature for hours. The stainless steel bottle is durable, with paint that won’t chip from use.

What really makes this mug different from the competition is its unique lid. The top handle is great for taking it on the go, but when you unscrew it you see the real magic. To take a sip, just turn the lid counterclockwise to open the seal. When you want to take the whole lid apart to clean, just unscrew it in the opposite direction, revealing the intricate mechanism beneath. Keep in mind that getting it put back together can be a bit of a hassle or might take practice. 

The cup is incredibly durable and lightweight, coming in at 11.6 ounces for the 20 ounce capacity. Though it lacks a rubber bottom, the cup is still comfortable to hold and stable. It's also great at keeping your drinks hot, falling from 202 degrees Fahrenheit to 172 after two hours, 145 after five, and 116 after 10. It's definitely one of the more unique-looking cups we’ve tested, but that doesn’t make it any less spectacular. Expert engineering and craftsmanship put it at the top of our list. This is why it’s one of the best travel coffee mugs. 

4. THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 3.3 x 7.6 inches | Weight: 15.7 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 8

Thermos is a brand that has become synonymous with quality travel mugs, and the Stainless King is truly a wonderful option. Made of stainless steel, this vacuum-insulated cup is dishwasher safe and should fit in most cup holders. The handle on the side makes holding the cup easy and the outside stays cool even when hot liquids are inside. It is available in four different colors and holds 16 fluid ounces of liquid.

The lid is expertly crafted and won’t leak no matter how many times it's turned over or shaken. But it does have to be completely closed to work, just a little bit of an opening and the cup will spill out whatever is inside. 

To open the lid, just turn the nozzle counter-clockwise revealing the “open” label on the lid. When it's closed, the lid creates a vacuum seal that keeps everything nice and hot. There’s even a small hook on the bottom of the lid to hold your tea bag and make sure it doesn’t fall in. The lid doesn’t even need to be taken apart to clean.

The Thermos excels at keeping beverages hot, outperforming everything else we tested. Starting at 203 degrees Fahrenheit, it only dropped to 181 at two hours, 159 at five, and 131 at 10 hours, which we found was still too hot to drink. It earns a spot on our list as one of the best travel coffee mugs for this reason alone. 

It is one of the heaviest cups we tested, coming in at a whopping 15.6 ounces. The only heavier mug was the Ello Jane Ceramic Travel Mug. 

5. Yeti Rambler

Capacity: 20 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 3.5 x 7 inches | Weight: 12.8 ounches | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 34

Available in 10, 20 or 30 ounces (we tested the 20 oz capacity), the Yeti Rambler is unique in its design, offering a much stouter mug with enough room for your liquid inside. Cupholder-friendly and dishwasher safe, this double-wall vacuum-insulated mug is great for taking your cold or hot drinks on the go. Plus it’s available in a whopping 34 colors, so you can find whatever tone you want. 

Because of its more round shape, it's better than some we’ve reviewed at not getting knocked over, though it doesn’t have a rubber bottom for grip. But even the mightiest wind should allow the Yeti to stay upright. 

The lid is simple but effective when kept upright. You can slide it up to take a sip and then slide it back down to seal it. The slide requires a bit of pressure for it to get opened, so it shouldn’t just flop open and spill what's inside. But you shouldn’t just place this cup in your bag because it is possible for it to spill. The lid does not screw on and only has a rubber circle keeping it in place. With enough shaking or momentum, the lid will pop off and won’t have an airtight seal when turned upside down. 

It's also a bit dangerous to drink while hot. We found that while testing the outer ring on the lid retains heat a bit too well and was too hot to touch. The cup itself retains heat well enough, starting at 204 degrees Fahrenheit and going to 166 after two hours, 136 after five, and 108 after ten. 

But if you aren’t going on any backpack adventures and just want a drink to keep warm, then the Yeti is a great option. 

6. Ember Temperature Control Travel Mug

Capacity: 12 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 3 x 8 inches | Weight: 38.4 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: No | Colors available: 2

Having an electronic travel mug that costs $185 might seem a bit extra, but the Ember makes it seem absolutely reasonable. The mug has an internal battery and can keep a drink at the same consistent temperature for three hours on a single charge. All you have to do is tap the center to reveal icons and set it to your desired temperature. 

It's packed full of smart features, which is why it’s one of the best travel coffee mugs, like Bluetooth that connects it to your phone to set the temperature and light that tells you when the cup needs charging. It also has an app, which is simple to use and works flawlessly, showing the battery level and temperature of the beverage (but it does need to be reconnected after every use). To charge it, all you have to do is place the cup on the included stand and it should be ready to go in just a few hours. We set the temperature to 136 degrees Fahrenheit after starting at 199, it managed to stay the same for the whole 10-hour period. 

The lid is also a marvel of engineering- all you have to do is press down whenever you want to drink to create a small circle of liquid to flow through. Even when shaken, the liquid didn’t escape and stayed inside the remarkable metal cylinder. Some liquid might stay around the lid after you take a sip, so keep that in mind. 

It’s also very durable and has a rubber-coated bottom to keep it from spilling over. It might be a great travel mug, but other options can do what it does without the hefty price tag. There’s no need to over-engineer a cup that’s worked fine before. It’s fairly lightweight,  coming in at 12 ounces and holding 12 fluid ounces. Being hand wash only is a drawback to boot as well.

7. Teabloom

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 2.5 x 9 inches | Weight: 15.2 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 5

The Teabloom tumbler allows you to make teas on the go with everything inside the bottle. Unlike a lot of other travel mugs, this long but elegant bottle comes with a metal diffuser with its own handle that you can throw your favorite tea blend or coffee right inside. Holding 16 fluid ounces, it's made of stainless steel and brushed with a metallic exterior that stood up to the wear and tear of everyday use and weighs 15.2 ounces.

The tumbler is very thin and can be a bit wobbly. It doesn’t have a rubber grip and it's tall but the thin facade can cause it to get knocked down with just a little bit of force. But it will fit in almost every cup holder snugly, without any worry of it flying out. 

The lid is a simple screw-on top with a rubber ring that easily stops it from leaking even when shaken upside down. We found that even with the lid not screwed on completely all the way, the cup did not spill any water.

It also retained heat very well. When you put it in high-temperature beverages you can feel the heat on the side but it is definitely not too hot to touch. Out of all the travel mugs we tested without its own battery, the Teabloom held heat the longest, starting at 203 degrees Fahrenheit, and falling to 179 at two hours, 154 at five hours, and 126 at ten hours. It's by far one of the best travel coffee mugs to store hot liquid in, the fact it can make tea, coffee, or infused fruit water is just a plus. 

8. bioGo 16 oz Reusable Coffee Cups

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 3.6 x 7 inches | Weight: 6.4 ounces | Material: Rice husk | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 8

The bioGo Reusable Coffee Cup is simplistic but offers everything you’d need in a travel mug. Available in eight colors, it's made of recycled rice husks making them better for the environment. They also fit in cup holders and have a padded bottom to stop the cup from falling over.

It's also remarkably light; the model we tested weighs 6.2 ounces while still holding 16 fluid ounces. Although a 13 ounce capacity is also available. That light nature does make it feel a bit flimsy, but it held up to being knocked around just as well as other stainless steel mugs we tested. The cup is dishwasher safe and won’t break apart after multiple uses. 

The screw-on lid is simple but effective. The hole on top has a plastic stopper that can be flipped in or out, which effectively keeps liquids inside. No matter how shaken or flipped upside down, the cup did not leak. The lid closer did not move once it was locked in place, but when the piece came out of the hole it did flop around. 

Though it's a very pretty and stylish cup, it didn’t retain heat as well as a lot of the other mugs we tested. Starting at 202 degrees, it dropped quickly to 118 by two hours, 90 by five, and room temperature by 10. The whole cup became extremely warm on the outside, starting out at 125 degrees making it too hot to touch. If you need a mug that's safe for the environment and that you don’t need to hold hot beverages for long periods, then give this bioGo a shot. The environmentally friendly aspects make it one of the best travel coffee mugs.   

9. Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug

Capacity: 16 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 3.56 x 7.75 inches | Weight: 6.9 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: No | Colors available: 13

The Contigo West Loop Travel Mug has a gorgeous and unique shape that is durable enough to last. Made of stainless steel and its own patented Thermalock insulation, drinks stay hot or cold for hours inside. The shape makes it stand out from other travel mugs out there while still being slim enough to fit in most car cup holders. It holds 16 ounces of fluid and weighs 6.9 ounces. A 20 ounce capacity is also available, but we tested the smaller model. 

The lid opens with a button press on the side, allowing any liquid to flow without issue. Even when shaken and held upside down, nothing escaped. To make sure nothing escapes, there’s a fantastic locking feature where all you have to do is press down on a button on top to make sure the lid can’t open. So when you place the mug in your bag, the button won’t accidentally get pressed and spill everywhere.

The odd shape does have it wobble a bit when tapped and it lacks rubber grips on the bottom, so it can fall. But it is still quite durable so even a tumble shouldn’t crack the exterior. The whole cup is dishwasher safe and the locking lid does not require disassembly to clean. 

When filled with hot liquid, we found that the plastic lid coated in rubber got very hot and couldn’t be touched at max heat. But it did hold heat tolerably, starting at 204 degrees Fahrenheit and failing to 166 at two hours, 137 at five, and 111 at 10. Other travel mugs insulated a bit more consistently, but the Contigo still earned a recommendation, which is why it makes the list as one of the best travel coffee mugs. 

10. Ello Campy Vacuum Insulated Travel Mug

Capacity: 18 fluid ounces | Dimensions: 4.4 x 6.9 inches | Weight: 5.3 ounces | Material: Stainless steel | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 9

The Ello Campy Travel Mug is a simple, yet truly effective, liquid container. Its sleek metallic exterior hides a vacuum-insulated interior that keeps beverages cold or hot hours after use. That hard body makes it incredibly durable, though the plastic lid may not be able to handle the most aggressive of use. 

The handle is coated in cork inside, helping you keep your grip and not burn yourself when going for a drink. The large handle makes it impossible for it to fit firmly in most car cup holders, especially any that are very deep. But it does make the cup look aesthetically pleasing and simple to use if you’d rather grasp a handle. 

The screw-on lid is a bit more than just a simple piece of plastic, using a unique flipping mechanism to look the cup in place. Hot liquids made the lid too hot to touch and drink. It's also just a simple push button that can easily be knocked open without you noticing. This cup can’t be placed in a bag because it will spill everywhere. But it won’t leak when turned upside down as long as the lid is positioned correctly. 

The whole cup is fairly good at keeping liquids hot, starting at 203 degrees Fahrenheit it fell to 171 at two hours, 142 at five, and 113 at 10. That puts it alongside a lot of the other cups we tested with vacuum insulation. Overall, it's great as long as you don’t try to drink scolding hot beverages. The model tested holds 18 ounces and weighs 5.3 ounces, but a smaller 11 ounce design is also available. 

11. Ello Jane Ceramic Travel Mug

Capacity: 18 fluid ounces | Dimensions: ‎3.5 x 6.5 inches | Weight: 24.7 ounces | Material: Ceramic | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Colors available: 5

The Ello Jane Ceramic Travel Mug is elegant with a timeless look, capturing the vibe of a cozy summer cottage somewhere in the wilderness. With a thick rubber bottom, the mug stays firmly planted when placed down and won't jiggle too much unless you try to knock it over. Being made of ceramic, we imagine that it's not as durable as other steel options (though we didn’t intentionally try to break it). 

The handle on the side makes it comfortable to hold, though it is a fairly wide mug that won’t fit in most cup car holders. You can fill it with 18 fluid ounces of liquid and clean it in the dishwasher. 

The top lid is a thin piece of plastic that you can shift up and down to take a drink. The lid is most certainly not leakproof and does not offer an airtight seal. If you just flip it over, the liquid will come gushing out, potentially with the lid as well. The lid is not screwed on and has no rubber gasket and is only held in place by a thin rubber bit around the lid.

It’s also not very good at retaining heat. It started at 199 degrees Fahrenheit and went down to 115 in just two hours. Like the Tupkee Glass Tumbler, the cup reached room temperature in just five hours. It's a much better indoor mug than a travel one, offering a unique option that just isn’t as stable as others on this list. The mug is also quite heavy, coming in at 22 ounces.

How we test

We put these travel mugs through rigorous testing for durability, heat retention, and comfort. First, we gave a score to every mug based on holding capacity, comfort to hold, stability, ease of opening, ease of cleaning, weight, and quality. 

Then we performed a test to see if it could hold liquid while turned upside down, without spilling a drop. We filled each cup to its maximum amount and held it upside down for five seconds. Then we noted which cups leaked and spilled onto the countertop. Most mugs managed to stay tight-lipped, while others leaked their insides everywhere. After a quick wipe-down of each mug, we moved on to the next step.

Then we tested each mug's ability to retain heat. We filled each cup at the same time with boiling water and checked its temperature with a digital instant-read thermometer at two, five, and 10 hours. To check the inside temperature, we opened the top and placed a thermometer with a rod inside just long enough to get the recording without leaking much heat. Then, we closed the lid as quickly as possible before moving onto the next one.

How to choose the best travel mug

Material A travel mug can be made of stainless steel, plastic, ceramic, or glass. If you need a more durable mug, you should find one made of a tougher material like steel or plastic. These tougher mugs are also much better at retaining heat, with some having a vacuum insulation that keeps heat from escaping.  

Durability Steel and plastic mugs are incredibly durable, able to withstand rigorous outdoor activity or time spent knocking around in a backpack. Mugs with rubber bottoms are also better at staying upright and not just falling over. If you are looking for a mug you can take on the road, it needs to be both durable and practical to use. 

Size Most travel mugs are between 12 and 20 ounces, with 16 and 18 being the sweet spot. Most are slim enough to fit inside your average car coffee cup holder, while being snug enough to not just bounce around inside. If you are looking for a good sized mug, then aim for one that's around eight to ten inches in height. 

How easy is to clean

Ideally, you should wash or rinse out your travel mugs straight after use, to prevent any grimy build-up inside. If you want to remove odors, one tip is to add  ½ cup of vinegar before adding 1tbsp baking soda into the travel mug. Allow it to soak in the solution overnight, and then rinse it with warm water. Make sure you rinse it well so that there are no traces of the solution/vinegar. This should have removed lingering smells.
