Kitchen Knife Sharpener for All Blade Types-Kitchen Tool with Suction Cup by KFull

I have probably reviewed Contigo Travel Mugs elsewhere, as I now have a few of my own in different sizes and colors. These were bought for my Mom, who has to microwave her coffee three times or so to get to the bottom of a cup. She was THRILLED about how long this stayed hot (which is a good thing, because you can't microwave the steel mug). I love the fact that Contigo Autoseals do NOT leak. Not a drop. Seriously. In the morning, I pour in coffee, add sweetener, add milk, screw the lid on, then shake VIGOROUSLY to mix my java. Great product.There have been improvements in the lids over time and I don't know which Contigo units have the lid that opens up for cleaning, but if you have an option, get that kind which open. Even black coffee can make the lid pretty gross after months with the spring mechanism that keeps the lid shut tight. On the old style, I found pouring hydrogen peroxide in there for 15 minutes then rinsing under a hard spray of water does a pretty good job of getting the gunk out.

These travel mugs are GREAT and keeping liquids warm for long periods of time. I commute to work, and my coffee is still nice and toasty a couple of hours after pouring it in before leaving in the morning. The design is also great--being able to drink from the mug by pressing down on the lid right where your had naturally lays makes it very easy to drink from. Also, because you have to actively press down on the lid to drink and the mouth hole is small, there's a very low risk of spillage--which is invaluable for those of us who sip our coffee on our way to work. Another nice feature is that the lid screws on to the mug itself, so if you drop it, the coffee is nicely contained and won't explode all over you.The downside: The lid is a little hard to clean. I've tried soaking it and putting it in the dishwasher, but haven't had a lot of luck. Because the mechanism doesn't stay open on its own, it adds a bit of a wrinkle. If you're super diligent and rinse the lid immediately after finishing your beverage, this is probably less of an issue. Since I don't really wash my travel mugs until I'm home at night, it's a little harder to get it as clean as I would like (that said, the mugs work fine and are definitely not gross, or showing significant residue--I just really like for it to be CLEAN). Nice colors, too!

very difficult to wash, they smell gross after a while even when i try really hard to wash them

Great cups, but would've been better if the had the easy-clean lid & locking spout feature, which the newer versions have. Very happy with these for many years, except for the fact that the lids are very difficult to keep clean. Despite rinsing them after each use, I had to eventually throw them out since I couldn't get the lids clean.

After reading all of the reviews online and doing some extensive looking around for the best price; I landed on these. I absolutely love these travel cups!! I gotta say they don't really keep the hot things HOT for the 4 hours that they tout but it does keep my coffee warmer for longer than some other travel mugs I have used. I do LOVE these for cold drinks!!! My water stays cold for at least 3 hours (longer than it takes for me to drink it). I recommend these to anyone one that needs some new coffee mugs.

The caps for the mugs are really hard to clean. I bought these thinking that they would be interchangeable with my other Contigo mugs, but they aren't :\

I like that these are stainless. I bought the set, one for coffee and one for water. I find it a little difficult to drink coffee out of it because I feel like I burn my mouth. Maybe it is just me. I do love this for water though. My daughter has a kids sized one that she loves and has held up great, no leaking and so far. This one has been the same. It has replaced using styrofoam cups at work so that makes me feel much better.

This mug is great! Truly does lock! I tested it upside down in mu purse (crazy I know) amd not one drop came out. I'm worried as to how to clean the spring mechanism but I rinse it everyday woth soap and water so it wont get nasty. The company os great too. They sent me the wrong color and promplty returned half my money. Kudos. All in all I would highly recommend this mug. Oh most important, it keeps my coffee hot for well over 4 hours! Love it!!
