Hey everyone,
I need some helping finding a well designed, functional travel mug for going between my apartment and classes in the morning. I have to be able to throw it in my bag without worrying about leakage etc. and it would be nice if I didn’t have to unscrew a cap to drink from the mug.
I’ve made a preliminary search and found some interesting things such as:
The only issue is that people report trapped gunk and smelly tops after repeated prolonged use.
I wouldn’t want to throw anything in my bag unless it had to be unscrewed, those buttons look like they can easily be pressed. This one got good reviews.
Maybe throw wasn’t the best word, more like place upright in a bag, and still be able to ride a bike without worrying. Thanks for the recommendation though!
Yep, back in school I used my nissan thermos as described, kept things hot, and had a reliable seal. I really want a Stanley thermos now, like its old school charm, but really have zero need for it.
I’m a huge fan of the Contigo stuff. I’ve put coffee in mine, left it in my car on a cool cloudy day then 3 hours later gone back to get it, and the coffee is still warm (not hot, but certainly warm)
They can get gunky, but I usually soak mine in warm water for a bit and that seems to get them cleaned up on the interior.

I’ve use my Stanley almost daily to feed my insatiable coffee habit… Why Stanley doesn’t offer a special brush to get down inside of it to scour out all of the caffeine residue is beyond me. I even called them to ask if they were aware of the problem.
Their customer service rep’s advice was a teaspoon of Billy Ray’s OxyClean powder and hot tap water… and leave over night.
Yeah, right, like that’s going to work…
It does!!! absolutely spotless, shiny like new, stainless interior… I don’t know how many things (plastic and metal) I’ve tried it on since, but the result is always the same … perfectly clean.
