Truly leak proof travel mug that keeps coffee HOT?!

[Fancytallglass]

That ideally doesn't cost £30?! Does it exist?

Fed up of spending five quid on coffee when I'm out and about. Maybe a £30 one will be worth it...

Want something that I can chuck in my handbag for work or when I'm just out and about for the day.

That's because not only does it not leak, but you actually lock it shut. x

Another vote for Contigo!

I bought the lockable contigo mug after a travel cup I had fell over in my car whilst I was driving and leaked and it took me an age to clean it all up.
I can chuck my full contigo in my bag lying down and not a single drop leaks out. And yes, mine are at least 10 years old and show very little sign of wear. They go in the dishwasher and everything. One of my best ever purchases - 2 for £35 at costco!

The Calix isn't leak proof. Weirdly Sho don't have a leak proof travel mug in their range. (Their Guzzler water bottle is brilliant though!)

My Contigo West Loop lasted years but eventually my drinks started to have a weird metallic taste to them. I replaced it with a Super Sparrow travel mug. It is excellent. Leak proof and keeps drinks piping hot. It's also easier to clean than the Contigo.

I have had multiple brands.contigo auto lock was only one that didn't leak
Other brands say Leak resistant, leak proof which isn’t same as doesn’t leak
Sho calix leaked

My partner has a yeti and his coffee is still nuclear hot hours later!

That's handy to know. I was using it at work so filled it up there. I will carry on with the contigo for a leak proof one.

Contigo west loop isn’t nice to drink from: tiny sipping hole!

It also tarnishes and rusts inside if used for tea.

Contigo

I'm another one voting for contigo. I have two of the Byron ones.

I've dropped them onto concrete before and they've come away with a tiny dent and no hot tea spilt!

Think I got one from Amazon and one from Tesco, both were under £20 each.

Yeti because it keeps drinks scalding hot for hours and I prefer the ‘feel’ when drinking from it

Contigo is the best leak proof and easy to drink with one hand. I have the one pictured at the start of the thread and use it 5 days a week.

However, if it’s a hot drink I want after 4 hours of making the coffee then it’s a thermos with a flip lid. If I don’t let it cool before closing the lid then I often can’t drink it as it’s too hot even at the end of the day. Thermos can also be used one handed and holds 2 coffees.

Contiguo
i don’t know what they cost now and they may be £30 for all I know, but you’ll get daily use for about 10 years out of it so it is bargainous on a per use basis.

I have a Contigo mug that keeps coffee warm for hours. Sadly it doesn’t fit in the car’s cup holder, so I’ve got a 720 degree on instead, which seems OK, but not as good as the Contigo.

Contigo, £12.99 tkmaxx. Not sure what model, it’s the first one of this brand I’ve purchased. It’s excellent.

I have two contigos- a small and a large one, they are the best brand ever for being leak proof and keeping the drink hot!

Agreed

Zojirushi as mentioned earlier. Far superior to Contigo and worth every penny.
I've had Contigos in the past but they ended up in a charity shop after getting my Zojirushis.

I love love love my contigo travel mugs

I have a Le Creuset one which is fab as well - completely leak proof and also keeps drinks too hot to drink 🤣

We have always had Contigo they are great but some are annoying to drink from and I wouldn’t feel happy chucking some of the older ones into my bag.
DD was given this one for Christmas and we love it.
Agree with others about the drinks staying too hot to drink!

I wish I'd seen this before I bought my 720 Degree mug, @TheHumanFund - I've just looked at the zojirushi mug, and it would fit in my car's ridiculously small cup holders. But I think I'm stuck with the 720 one, until it fails - then I will try to remember this thread and your recommendation.

DH bought me a Stojo collapsible cup for coffee. They claimed it doesn't leak, but it did first time!

I'm getting a replacement but does anyone have experience with Stojo?

Kinto. But it's not cheap. Had one for two years and it has never leaked, and really keeps tea warm all day.

Had one. It was dreadful. Went in the bin.

If anyone is after a collapsible coffee mug to keep in a handbag or rucksack, none are perfect but my recommendation is for the Trespass Coffee Pop one.
