(Shamelessly here for traffic)

i’m looking for a travel coffee cup with quite specific criteria… please help!

no handle
Dishwasher safe
Actually keeps coffee hot
totally leakproof
Fits a regular sort of size latte from a coffee shop – not too massive
Here’s the tricky one – I want the mouthpiece to be covered so that I can check it in my bag without it getting all dirty and germy where I then put my mouth

any ideas please? I ordered a Contigo but it’s just arrived and I hadn’t realised that the clippy bit isn’t actually where you put your mouth and that part is actually exposed!

I can’t to say ion8 too

I think it’s ticks all of your boxes

I have an ion8 one too and it's great!

@everyonelovesaparsnip I have that one too. It's great.

Yeti mugs are superb. They’re not cheap, but they’re worth it.

Thanks all. Some of these don’t seem to fully cover the bit that your mouth goes on but the Stanley aerolight seems to fit the bill and I have managed to find a discounted one at JD sports of all places so I’ve ordered that. Fingers crossed!

Very few vacuum flask keep-hot ones will go in the dishwasher - it's where Stanley excels.

I second the Aerolight.

Stanley aerolight. Best one I’ve ever bought. I make my coffee at 0600 forgot it in the car when I went to work last week so it was cold all day and I drank it on
my way home at 1600, still really hot.

I've got several Contigo ones and have not had any issues. I'm not worried about the mouthpiece, though. They either live in my car or my rucksack. There's nothing particularly germy in my rucksack..

I've had one of these for 5 years. My perfect coffee travel mug 💕 The outer colour has peeled off leaving a shiny silver underneath but it's still cool on the outside to hold.

I usually hand wash it but have recently been putting it in the dishwasher and it's been fine.
