Contigo 2028189 Autoseal West Loop 2.0 Travel Mug, 16oz, Radiant Orchid Trans Matte

I've used contigo water bottles from some years now and quality has always been impeccable. ordered this as my desk tea mug as I like to sip hot occasionally and needed an alternative to pouring a cup from the thermos every time.Positives1) It keeps tea hot for several hours (works as advertised)2) it is easy to use as the sipper is functional and does not leak3) it is possible to pur from this into a cup if you so wish toNegatives1) you have to be careful of the temperature of the liquid you pour in if its too hot you will burn you lips when you sip. you can sip hotter from a cup but because this pours out of a spout temperature needs to be cooler than a cup2) there is no way to leave it open to cool off a bit3) Be careful when you open having kept it hot for some time there is a pressure release and it can spray some (few droplets) scalding hot steam and water.. always open away from you first. would have been great if pressing the button opened the air release first before the sipping spout so that this problem did not exist.

Leaks heat through the plastic cap so not as efficient as a true vacuum flask so will not hold heat as well as one with a well insulated cap. However, the large opening allows for easy cleaning and stirring with a tea spoon. Also, be very careful drinking hot liquids from the spout, you can burn your mouth as the cap does not provide for a small reservoir to drink from but you drink direct from the spout. Apart from these design flaws, it's a good; well made product etc.

The product meets all the criteria as mentioned in the description. happy that I bought Contigo, worth the money .

I carry this everywhere! It's great keeps the liquid hot, and once you get the hang of using it without scalding oneself it's indispensable. Plus steel is easy to clean and maintain.We all need to do our bit for the environment, stop using takeaway cups, carry your own Travel mug and water bottles cheers

Keep beverages warm for few hours, max 2-3 hours. Otherwise good quality product, thick thermosteel.

I bought 1 from the US for $17 (Rs 1190), but in India cost vary.

The design, fit and finish is really nice and so no complaints on that. The ability to keep things warm isn’t all that great and my experience in Delhi winters shows a max of 3 hours that the thermos keeps something hot. Moreover, the lack of transparency of the jar makes sipping a hot beverage impossible with the lid on as one cannot estimate when the liquid will touch your lips and burn them in the process. Opening the lid destroys the keep warm function to a large extent and hence practicality of this as a sipper is circumspect.

I was planning to buy this from a long time and finally bought one from the Global Store.It's the best but can get scratched easily and I'm a person who don't like scratches on anything.

Recommending this mug is easy. When compared to my previous favorite mugs, an OXO stainless steel double walled travel mug with the push button and a couple of different sized Aladdin plastic insulated mugs (two different models that they no longer make) with the flip lids, this style Contigo mug outperforms them in almost every way.PROS:1. Size - It is a great size. It easily fits under my older Keurig. If I pour from the office pot, I'm certain this holds 2-3 typical ceramic coffee cups worth of coffee (this seems obvious, but I've had other "16 oz." travel mugs that definitely didn't hold as much liquid). It fits snugly but completely into my 2015 Ford Fusion's cup holders. While the OXO is about the same height, it holds less coffee because its lid is VERY large. The Aladdins hold about the same volume as the Contigo. I have one model, with a matte plastic finish, that refuses to fit under the Keurig, even though it was listed as the same dimensions as a slightly different one, with a glossy plastic finish, that fits.2. Insulation - Easily the best travel mug I have owned in this regard. I don't have any 12+ hour rated mugs or Thermoses, but I have had my share of <$20 mugs that could not maintain temperature for even an hour. With this, I have often poured a mug at 8 AM and have still been drinking warm (not hot) coffee at 11 or noon. Neither the OXO nor the Aladdins come close, and the Aladdins would be cold by 90 minutes if not sooner. Also, the outside of this mug does not get hot - I can feel it get warm when I fill it with especially hot liquids, but it has never gotten hot. The Aladdins have definitely gotten hot even through the "insulated" plastic. The OXO does not get hot.3. Cleaning - I have two AUTOSEAL mugs, one unpainted and one matte. The unpainted mug and its lid go in the dishwasher, or rinse easily under a tap. The new design top, with the flip open seal for cleaning, allows for good access to the nooks if you have a brush and allows the dishwasher to thoroughly clean the inside. The matte finish doesn't go in the dishwasher, but I think it could. I have had other glossy painted items peel in the dishwasher, but most matte items seem to hold up better. OXO didn't recommend any parts for the dishwasher, and the original lid was impossible to clean. They later redesigned the lid with a screw-off seal, but who wants to bother with that or potentially lose it. The Aladdins were completely dishwasher safe, but I found that they retained food particles around the flip top hinge or between the flip top and the lid body. Out of the WAY TOO MANY travel mugs I have owned, only the unpainted Contigo and the Aladdins have been both completely dishwasher safe AND been effectively cleaned by the dishwasher.4. Stability - Not usually something I would discuss, but I find this mug to be amazingly stable. I have only tipped this mug once, and have not had it wobble when setting it down or bumping it. No idea why it is so. The Aladdins seem more tall and skinny, and with their slightly rounded bottoms they were wobbly. The OXO was down right top-heavy and easy to tip over.6. Lid - Um, obviously, the Contigo autoseals - it is in the name. But it is the only mug I have ever owned that both reseals itself AND has a super easy mechanism. Neither the OXO nor the Aladdins autoseal and both require you to manipulate something on top of the lid which is especially difficult to do one handed. Especially when driving, the Contigo is so much better in this regard.CONS:1. Lid - Yes, both a pro and a con. The lid is very unforgiving if you aren't careful. It is difficult to get it on "just right" the first time, so it can be difficult to get it to grab the threads and start to close. Also, the last half turn or so is very tight and can really make me struggle to get it completely closed. As I'm sure the last half turn is where the seal becomes most effective I find myself being extra careful when tightening and frequently check and recheck to be sure it has gone on the whole way. This said, I have NEVER had it leak in ways that others have mentioned, and I can always get the lid completely closed. The one time the lid has leaked liquid was around the button to open the seal, and that was because I had not carefully drained the lid after a cleaning. Not sure why, but it had retained some water that came out when I pushed the button. The OXO and the Aladdins are significantly easier to close, though I have had the Aladdins leak when liquid was up to the threads or when I hadn't completely dried the threads.2. Seal/lid - The one truly quirky thing about this mug is it can literally shoot a few drops of coffee a foot or more if I'm not careful. It doesn't happen every time, but occasionally if I close the seal while the cup is still at my lips and tipped, when I take it away from my mouth liquid will spray. I have learned to seal the lid after un-tipping the mug and just after I pull it away. In reality, the only reason this is even an issue is because you can let it seal while it is tipped and at your mouth. Most other mugs must be level and away from your face before you can seal them.3. First sips - A good problem to have is that this mug does such a good job of insulating that I usually have to let it sit for a few minutes before I drink or I WILL burn my mouth. Just about every other mug I have owned cools the coffee as you poor it and it makes contact the mug's walls. This one just doesn't seem to do that, at all.I haven't dropped the mug, and have only tipped it once, so I can't comment on the durability (or lack thereof) that some other reviewers have complained about. So far, after about three months of daily use, the two mugs are holding up very well.In all, this is the best travel mug I have ever owned. Since purchasing these two Contigos, I don't even use regular ceramic mugs anymore - these are so easy to use and clean I don't see a reason to risk the spills and drips. I never thought I would write so much to describe a simple coffee mug, but this mug is just about perfect and I have recommended it to all my coffee addicted friends.

Soy amante del café y siempre llevo mi termo. Duré 2 años usando uno de starbucks y finalmente se rompió la tapa. Compré este termo CONTIGO y no podría estar más feliz :D es cómodo, no se tira nada, guarda el café caliente por horas y pues el diseño de la tapa es genial :) lo adoro

Estos thermos llevo años comprándolos, son muy útiles, no tiran líquidos y conservan la temperatura fría o caliente por varias horas. Los recomiendo ampliamente

Let me start my review off by saying that this contigo travel mug is probably not going to work for me. So why the 5 stars you wonder? Well, I excitedly grabbed my mug at 3am the morning after I received it and brewed my very first cup of coffee into it (and most likely my last) before leaving for work. I arrived almost late, because let’s face it at that hour I snooze until the last minute, so my too-hot-to-drink-while-driving coffee sat in the break room for a few hours until my 15min break at 9am. Exhausted after hours of work with no coffee I grabbed my mug, pressed the button and took a little swig of BOILING LAVA!! My upper lip was burned enough to feel swollen and the pain was akin to burning my hand on a sizzling pan!! Exactly who needs their coffee to stay the temperature of the sun for 5 hours?!This mug absolutely works. Too well for me, apparently, since I’m limited to drinking my coffee before my shift or during my break and with this mug I can’t drink it at either of those times without sustaining 3rd degree burns or being able to taste my food for three days. I’m off to find one that I can vent, but I had to come and leave a review about the amazing job this mug does for all you hard and true coffee fans looking for that long-lasting scorching brew! Also, luckily for me, it doesn’t leak!

This is my second one because the first one finally started leaking after about 5 years and dropping it many many times. Contigo is the best IMO for no spill insulated cups. I only use this one for water. If you try to use for various different drinks I find it leaves an after taste. I have something different for tea. This particular one is the easiest to clean and fits all cup holders. I leave it on the night stand, bring it everywhere I go and I always have delicious pure non chlorinated water to drink. I even bring it into restaurants because I really don't care if I look like a weirdo I just like clean spring water to drink.
