Copco 24-Ounce Big Joe Thermal Travel Mug

Look, the only people who should be seriously considering this mug are people who need a mug that holds 24 ounces. These are mostly folks that drink 24 ounces of their beverage in the time it takes most folks to drink eight. If you're in that crowd, read on. If you're not - if you're looking for a system that will keep your coffee hot for eighteen hours, or that won't sully the impeccable flavor of your Guaruvian kitty-dung extra roast - look elsewhere.

OK, did all those dilettantes leave? If you're still reading, it's because you want a 24-ounce (or larger) mug, probably for hot beverages. If that's the case, you have only a few choices: the CopCo Big Joe (either single or double), the Thermos DF4010, or some plastic mugs offered mostly at hunting/camping or NASCAR sites. The ones from the hunting/camping sites won't fit into your car cupholders. The NASCAR ones look like they do, but some of them are so huge, they also look like they'll upset in your lap ever...Read more

I had a stainless mug and it really kept the coffee hot for a long time, several hours. This mug is much lighter, being that it's plastic. It feel cheap and doesn't keep the coffee hot at all, maybe an hour. If you just want something to grab for coffee on the way to work, I guess it's OK. It fits in a standard cup holder and it's easy to drink from. It's not spill proof but it doesn't splash either. Because it has a metal exterior you can't microwave it, so you need to drink your coffee within about an hour or drink it cold. The fully metal mug I have doesn't fit into a cup holder, it's got a wide bottom. I was looking for this shape and the qualities of the steal mug.
After several months of trying to use this mug I finally threw it out. I was drinking hot tea and the plastic smell and taste was so strong it scared me, so out it went. I'm sticking to stainless in and out.

The pros are : It's stainless, Kept a coffee hot long enough for me, Size was perfect for me.

The cons : Price ( saw a two pack (after I ordered from here)at *al-*art for $7.98 in auto section,) The Lid is NOT a spill proof locking lid top (my office requires mugs to be), The top is not a screw on lid, its a push in and pull out takes quite a bit of hand stength.

Wish I had known before ordering it didn't have a spill proof lockable lid top.
