What’s the best ever travel mug? I’m thinking of getting a really nice one as a birthday present for a coffee lover.

I have a small Yeti one that keeps things hot for hours

TheGirlattheBack · 11/10/2025 20:36

The bodum stainless steel flask mugs - stays hot for hours. Whatever you do get avoid the mugs with a handle as they don’t always fit in car cup holders.

Do you think they need one they can get refilled I coffee shops? Or just one ok to fill at home?

hexsnidgett · 11/10/2025 20:49

Also would they want to drink out of a wee hole? Or take the lid off to sip? The latter are better for keeping drinks hotter for longer ime.

Contigo autoseal. Stays hot for hours, never spills, easy to drink from.

Another vote for Bodum stainless steel. Absolutely awesome.

girlinabox · 11/10/2025 21:01

Agree on the bodum ones, also look and feel really satisfying!

Dilbertian · 11/10/2025 21:14

Definitely one without a handle, better for going into a bag.

Contigo. They just don't leak.

Contigo

I really like my chilli cup (the original design not the new one). It keeps my coffee hot all the way to work but not too hot so I can’t drink it

Wolfiefan · 11/10/2025 21:24

Contigo.

Werp · 11/10/2025 21:25

Contigo. I had a bodum one and it tasted funny and leaked.

Mrsoftandhisstrangeworld · 11/10/2025 21:26

Contigo for no leaking. There is nothing quite so awful as to walk around with dripping coffee coming out of your bag or your laptop slowly marinating in tea.

BackToRealitySigh · 11/10/2025 21:26

I have Contigo, my boss swears by Stanley

Sirzy · 11/10/2025 21:28

Contigo. I make my coffee at 6.30 and it’s often gone 12 before I finish it and it’s still hot

Do88byisfree · 11/10/2025 21:41

Contigo -- but get a stainless steel one so that it can go through the dishwasher. The pretty colours are not dishwasher proof and the colour starts to peel off.

Also another thing to be aware of -- these are not great for coffee shop refills as they are too tall.

But great for keeping drinks hot and leak-proof

Contigo luxe stainless steel, bomb proof and DH swears they make hot drinks hotter, 8 agree with PP the colours are pretty but not dishwasher safe , the stainless steel one is

ChocolateSardine · 25/10/2025 11:10

Another one saying Bru. They're ceramic lined, so don't have that weird metallic taste. I made teas at 7.30am yesterday and it was still hot at midday.
