Does this travel cup exist?

I need a travel cup that keeps everything really hot- but crucially, completely seals so I can carry it in my backpack
Currently I am using my chillys bottle as a flask as it totally seals and doesn't spill but its too hard to drink a hot drink out of a bottle.
I have googled previously and bought a few different ones but they have all leaked

Is there such a travel cup that totally seals and can be in a backpack for a commute- and still hot when I get to my desk at work?

All help gratefully received!

I got the Contigo reduced in Asda - nearly burnt my mouth thinking coffee would have cooled enough - that hot enough?! Grin

I have a smash soft touch, it was from Sainsbury’s. It gets chucked in the boot for football with coats etc and never leaks, and it’s well over a year old now.

I have one of these, couldn't remember the name. I'm impressed with it considering it was a tenner, it's really good.

Another Contigo Byron fan here. I can make a cup of tea at 10am and it's still hot at 3pm and beyond. I can just chuck it in my bag any old way and doesn't leak at all.

I’ve had my Contigo for several years and it never leaks. I just just chuck it in my bag. I preheat it with boiling water. It keeps drinks properly hot for a couple of hours -I like my coffee really hot.

I have a Camelbak Forge that is great for keeping drinks hot and has a nice tight seal and a drinking spout that's easy to use one handed.

I chuck mine in my backpack with no leaks. Keeps a drink hot for maybe 90mins but not all day like a thermos. Very hardwearing as well. I left mine on the roof of my car and it hit the tarmac at when I reached about 15mph. There are a couple of tiny scratches on it but was otherwise perfectly fine.

I was Hmm at spending £16.00 on a plastic cup, but to be fair it's been great.

Contigo Westloop Autoseal family here. DD goes to day long swim meets and hockey tournaments so I can vouch for their ability to keep drinks hot or nicely chilled all day. The neck is wide enough to fill with ice-cubes. I just throw it into a rucsac or cotton shoulder bag and it doesn't leak (as long as you remember to depress the lock on the top)

Just warning you that there are two "cup" sizes. The one with straight sides is a bit wider at the base and didn't fit our (quite old) car cupholders (it might have been discontinued now - I think I bought it in a Tesco sale about 6 years ago).

Another Contigo fan! I buy the twin pack, usually from Costco but here’s an online link. Stays very hot for longer than any other travel mug I have and the button locks to prevent spills. www.amazon.co.uk/Contigo-Autoseal-Spill-Proof-Travel/dp/B07X7GS99J/ref=asc_df_B07X7GS99J/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=375499180937&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3442257333742760748&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007452&hvtargid=pla-827699349991&ref=&adgrpid=83648335144&th=1

Contigo vote here too.

My contigo one has never leaked upside down chucked about the lot. Or my thermos food flask never leaks either.
