 Large Capacity . . . Tight Seal . . . Adequate Heat Retention May 31, 2007

1. I drink about 16 to 20 fl oz of coffee a day. Most of the insulated coffee mugs hold only 12 fl oz (or less). This one holds a full 16 fl oz because of its good design -- the cover screws to the top of the canister and none of it sits below the level of the rim. This distinguishes it from a product like the Highwave Original Ultimate Travel Mug (which I also own). The Highwave is a good product, but it only holds 12 fl oz (if that). This is because part of the cover for the Highwave sits inside the mug and below the rim, taking up valuable "real estate" that could be used to hold coffee.
2. Although the seal looks like it will not keep tight if the mug is transported into a briefcase or backpack, this is deceptive. I found that the mug did not leak at all when it was tossed about in my messenger bag. Full disclosure: I've only had it for a few weeks, so time will tell. But so far, it has withstood lots of jostling.
3. The mug did not keep coffee as hot for as long as the Highwave, but it did keep java hot for several hours, which is more than adequate for my purpose.
4. I take the subway to work and don't own a car, so I'm not sure whether it will fit in a standard-sized cupholder, but I suspect that the manufacturer's claim that it will is correct.
5. The shape of the mug, the autoseal function, and the hole for sipping are all great design elements. The shape is ergonomic--it fits my hand and the autoseal button is precisely where it needs to be. There is no danger of spilling it on your shirt when you drink, because you don't have to tip it high enough for the liquid to clear a "well" in the top of the mug (like the Highwave) -- the hole to sip is flush with the top of the cup. And the manufacturer is right -- there is no sputtering. Whomever designed this thing did his homework. Plus, it looks cool, no?
I am extremely happy with this purchase.

The plastic version worksElle Contigo Mug - Red as well and looks as good as the stainless steel (for $5 less) and doesn't have any problem with the threads on lid. No spills, no drips, no leaks, no spraying hot stuff. Keeps tea quite hot for plenty of time to drink it all at leisurely pace. Excellent fit to mouth. Very easy to hold in hand (or between legs when driving). Nice to look at. Great design all around! Much better to hold and use than comparable OXO mug.OXO Good Grips Green Plastic LiquiSeal Travel Mug
But if you choose the stainless version just learn how to screw things together without crossthreading them
Good mug, with one exception August 9, 2007

I like the mug, it keeps my coffee warm and spill-free. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is for something you don't think about with a sealed mug - it builds up pressure when the air inside warms up. If you pour hot coffee in, I'd suggest you vent the mug a few times in the next 10 minutes, because once the air gets hot and you vent it to drink, it can shoot hot water vapor out the vent. It's not unsafe, it just makes the mug a little weird. Everything else about it is great, I look the look, and it fits perfectly in my car's not-huge cupholders.

Keeps coffee warm for hours, looks stylish, and I throw it in my backpack and have never had a leak or spill.

My husband called my old car "the cheesemobile," because I often spilled my white chocolate whole-milk lattes between the seats while driving and couldn't clean up the mess before it soured and stank. Hot summers in that car were not fun.
My new car is the same color as this beautiful insulated mug, and the car smells fine because the mug works so well. Screw on the lid and your drink is secure - hot or cold. Simply press the button and drink. When you release the button and put the mug down, the drinking port closes tightly. Knock the mug over and the most that will spill (assuming the lid is screwed on securely) is the one drop that might be left in the drinking port. Keep the button pressed until you put the mug back in the cupholder and even that drop probably won't be there. No levers to forget to close. No lids you need to align, or snap on and wonder if the snap worked.
Because the mug is designed with two-layer construction with an air gap, hot things stay hot, and cold things stay cold for longer than it usually takes to drink the contents.
The steel construction makes this a durable item I expect will last me for years. The sleek design is very attractive and well-proportioned -- it fits in most cupholders without being top heavy, and it feels good in my hand.
Even washing the mug can be fun: put a bit of soap and half a cup of really hot water in, close the top tightly, shake vigorously, then point the top away from you into the sink and press the button. Enjoy the dramatic fountain spray! (Just watch for the backsplash, and don't get burned...)
My one complaint: the blue paint isn't as durable as the plain brushed steel finish. My husband's steel version still looks new, while my blue one looks a bit scuffed.
If I ever lose this mug, I'd replace it in a heartbeat.
