Contigo Double-Wall Plastic Travel Mug with Autoseal Lid, Black

Comment: I am disappointed in how quickly my hot coffee gets cold. This was the main reason for buying these travel mugs. Description says it keeps hot beverages hot for over 4 hours. Not even close. I do like the fact that I have not had any issues with spills although the button gets harder to press each time I wash it.

Comment: I use it for hot Japanese sake. The regular sake bottle I have is too small and this is the perfect size to get more and it keeps it hot. And it was incredibly cheap.

Comment: I was looking for a coffee mug for my husband for Christmas NOT made of stainless steel. It took awhile, but I found the Contigo, and he just loves it! There is no bitter aftertaste since it is made with plastic. Also, the ease of using the red button to drink is flawless. I would definitely recommend this mug to anyone who commutes.

Comment: If you order a different color your review doesn't transfer. I read about this in a magazine which rated it highly. It is handy, mine doesn't leak, it fits my hand; I bought 2 one for home and one for office. It is a real let down. It does not keep hot things hot; you cannot clean it easily. Even after washing till you're arms are tired you cannot get out all of the coffee residue which eventually shows up in a subsequent rinse as scum. The plastic cap tastes strongly of plastic when you put a hot liquid in the mug...it may be free of the chemicals we are concerned about "Today" but something makes it taste bad. I would not buy it again or recommend it to anyone I liked and, in good conscience, can't even put it in a gargae sale to get rid of it.

Comment: I bought 2 of these mugs for my husband as gifts. He has only ever opened one of them. I asked him about it and these were his issues- 1.Doesn't hold enough coffee. I thought it was a 16 oz like the metal version. Since I don't drink coffee, I didn't realize that this was too small for the morning at the office. 2. You have to retrain yourself to drink from it. Like mice in a lab, you have to push a button every time you want a drink. He just doesn't want to take the time to think "push the button first" I know it would become automatic after using it awhile, but he drives so much in the morning, he doesn't want his mind distracted. He had no thermal issues and no leaking, but he just didn't want to take the time to get use to it.
The product did what it claims, it just didn't work out in our house.
