(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'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.

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..

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.

This is what I have and got for a friend

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

I second the Aerolight.

Nopayrise · 29/01/2026 19:38

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!

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

BG2015 · 29/01/2026 19:43

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

Yes, this one is great if you want one with a covered opening. Lightweight, leak proof and keeps drinks hot

Flamingmentalcats · 29/01/2026 20:09

Second the ninja and if you like fizzy drinks they apparently keeps the fizz

PrincessArora · 29/01/2026 20:10

The first poster nailed it. I agree. The silver Nespresso one. Fits all your criteria, fits in the cup holder on all cars (I have bought a few that are too wide). Keeps your drink hot, actually hot! And goes in the dishwasher. What’s not to love?

greenmarsupial · 29/01/2026 20:11

I would have seconded the Stanley Aerolight so glad you’ve gone with that. It’s a brilliant one and keeps things either really hot or iced drinks freezing. It’s almost too good sometimes!

Moon botties. Stay hot for hours, don’t leak and the sippy bit is on the top so you can stop it getting dirty.

I've got this one. It's great- I got mine from TK Maxx for £7.

I bought my son in law one from a company called Ocean . I had his name put on it and he loves it and uses it every day . I think they use recycled plastic bottles saved from cluttering the oceans, hence the name .
