Contigo AUTOSEAL Elle Double Wall Insulated Mug - 14oz. - Black

Contigo's mostly plastic Elle mug, is unfortunately a subpar performer in comparison to Contigo's West Loop or Elite style mugs, which are constructed using stainless steel. While each of these Contigo mugs employs insulated double wall construction, the plastic used in the Elle mug does a vastly inferior job of insulating liquids inside the mug from ambient temperatures, than stainless steel.

Although the label on the mug says "No Sweating With Ice", I did not find this to be true. If you fill the Elle with ice, add water, and seal the lid, typically enough cold will seep through the walls of the mug to cause condensation to form on the mug. This does not occur when the same test is performed with the West Loop mug, as between these three mugs, the West Loop easily does the best job of insulating either cold or hot liquids.

This my favourite mug ever. It's super easy to use and it looks fabulous in red! The Autoseal Lid works great, no spils even in your backpack or tote. It's great when you have your hands full and don't have to try to keep the mug "heads up". I've been using it during super cold winter months (Jan. and Feb.) and it kept my coffee warm for about 2 hours. It would probably keep it warm/hot longer if I would use hot coffee, but I don't like boiling hot coffee so it perfect for me. Another good thing about it is that you can see through the walls how much coffee you have left so you know for sure when you need to refill. This is the travel mug that you are going to fall inlove with in fact yesterday I've ordered another one for my sister too!!!

I purchased two glasses from another merchant and have found them to be the absolute best of their kind. Even in Texas weather, this glass doesn't sweat and leave a ring. You can knock it over and there is nooooo leak. And if I put it by my bed at night, there is still iced water in it when I wake up. . . I highly recommend it.

Oh, and my cat can't drink out of it either!
