Worked very well (until it broke).,

This review is from: Aladdin Senja Bottle 16 oz SS (Kitchen)
I have owned this thermos for about one week, and for that week I was decently satisfied with it. It kept my tea hot for hours on end, and was spill proof when completely sealed.
This thermos (as stated by the product description) has a screw top cup and another screw top pouring mechanism that is controlled with a little button. You press the button to open the pouring mechanism and push a little plastic bit on the side to close the mechanism (and the button on top pops back up).
As I said before, it was completely spill proof when it was 'completely sealed,' however, it would drip from the bottom of the pouring screw top whenever I had it open and poured. It was an issue I was willing to deal with, as careful pouring would keep my pants and shirt from being stained. Unfortunately, no amount of screwing or unscrewing the pouring screw top fixed this issue.
However, it prompted me to start browsing Amazon looking for a new thermos. So, about half...Read more

If you drive and drink coffee, you need this!,

Originally I was going to purchase a Stanley or Thermos brand but they were too cumbersome and dangerous to use with one hand. I didn't want a standard water bottle because it would be to hot to hold. Then I ran across the Migo 16oz insulated bottle.
The Migo bottle is a stroke of genius to say the least! It's a thermos and drink bottle all rolled into one. The cup easily unscrews and the bottle's screw-on cap has a built-in easy-to-use pour/drink spout. You just push a button on the top to take a drink; simple as that. The bottle is super easy to clean and the integrated drink cap seals very well. If you plan on taking a long road trip you will love all of the great features this bottle you give you.
One thing to note: If your car has standard cup holders (Starbuck coffee cup size) then the Migo bottle won't fit. I would say it's plenty safe to have it sitting on the passenger seat and not worry about it leaking.

As Good as the 1st Generation Bottle,

This review is from: Aladdin Senja Bottle 16 oz SS (Kitchen)
Which is to say, because it's a vacuum bottle, it keeps hots hot for 6-8 hours. However, this 2nd generation bottle has the same "flawed" cap design as the 1st gen.
There was actually nothing wrong with the stainless body of the 1st gen bottle I had bought 10 years ago, but a moldy funk smell developed in the cap that any number of different attempts to remove failed on. MiGo doesn't offer replacement caps. So I purchased a new bottle, hoping for an improved cap.
Nope. Unfortunately the new cap is slightly larger than the old one, so it can't be used on the 1st gen bottles.
So, I recommend immediately washing the bottle after each use, and especially if you add dairy products to the brew in the bottle. If you're lazy, or prone to forgetting to wash and allow this to dry, the cap will eventually go bad.
So, a good bottle that keeps liquids hot for a reasonable amount of time, but an iffy cap design that is difficult to clean.
