BODUM Anywhere Travel Mug, Large, Orange

 (31 customer reviews)

I might have set my expectations a bit high for a travel mug but for sixteen bucks and the BODUM name I took my chances and rolled the dice. First thing first, I bought this primarily as a coffee mug for the morning commute and the morning at work so the thing I was depending on was that it kept the coffee hot and insulated. I didn't have a stopwatch running but don't expect too much after an hour--maybe I just drink slow but I expected to have enough time to finish the coffee before it dropped in temp. One thing I noticed is that once you pour your brewed coffee in you can feel the warmth when holding the cup which means it is losing heat. That's the one thing that kept me from giving 5-stars but if you drink fast or get a smaller mug size then that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Next is the no-spill locking top, I haven't gone through the rigors of filling it up and shaking it upside down but with the lid screwed on and the center part locked I haven't had any leaks...Read more

I was really excited to find this mug; I'd been looking all over for something I could take in to work, and liked the aesthetics of these Bodum mugs. I carried that excitement over as I tried to ignore the fact that it didn't retain heat as well as I'd hoped, and that the top mechanism was a little unwieldy. Regardless, I was still excited enough about it that I felt a little sad when the outside wall cracked around the rim one day as I unscrewed the top.

Bodum was nice enough to offer me a "one time replacement," although I thought it had a warranty. I finally had my mug back. That is, until this morning when I dropped it a couple of feet. The lid fortunately stayed intact, but the outside wall cracked in the same place as before, all the way through this time. Now, I realized that I dropped it, but it seems to me that there has to be a structural flaw in the design if both of my mugs cracked relatively easily in the same spot.

I really wanted to love this mug,...Read more

I laughed when my husband began replacing his desktop and bedside tumblers and mugs with these Bodum beverage containers and chided him for using what I couldn't resist calling "Grown-up Sippy Cups." I stopped laughing when one tipped over on his nightstand, right next to the netbook that's planted there, and tumbled (as tumblers are wont to do) to the floor. No breakage, no mess! We're delighted -- and hooked.
