Travel mug

Looking for a leak proof mug which fits in a car cup holder and keeps drinks warm for 6 hrs. Not too big either as I don’t want nearly a pint of coffee!! I had a brilliant one but the company don’t exist anymore.

I’ve been looking at Ocean bottles but could really do for some recommendations!

Contigo are by far the best I’ve used. I have a standard sized travel mug, holds a normal cup of coffee and keeps it hot for about 6 hours. Stainless steel, easy to clean and pretty bomb proof.

I’ve got a contigo and use it for tea. I find it too big as it’s 470ml and I really want around 300ml- unless they do a smaller one 🤔. I’ll investigate

Contigo do a 300ml west loop that is just brilliant. Always leakproof and dishwasher proof.

I’m still mourning the loss of my Contigo mug. Bought a Thermos one, which keeps my tea hot for forever but just isn’t as good. The leakproof mechanism on the Contigo is perfect, the Thermos can be left open by idiots!

I have a contigo which I bought as always see it recommended on here. It’s certainly leak proof but doesn’t keep my coffee hot for 6 hours.
I make it at 8am and by time I’m having lunch at 12.30 it’s just warm, not hot. Not sure if it’s because I drink some of it around 10 so there’s only half a cup left. But definitely not still hot at lunchtime like my soup is in thermos flask
