Contigo Superior 2.0 Stainless Steel Travel Mug with Handle Leak-Proof Lid Double-Wall Insulation for Hot & Cold Beverages, 20oz ,Dark Ice, Ideal for Commuting and Travel

Leak proof travel mug with a handle
This is my second purchase of this travel mug for my mom (first one purchased at a big box store. It needed to be replaced as I broke the handle). This works great! My coffee stays hot for hours and it’s easy to clean. Note, you will have to use one of those drop in tablets after a few months to soak out the stains but that’s to be expected with metal interiors). Her coffee doesn’t leak and I put this mug throw the works (it’s fallen, it’s been tipped over, been upside down, jostled in my bag). The contents stays inside and doesn’t leak. I really like this travel mug for her. The handle is really the selling point as she finds it easier to hold and drink while driving.

Excels at keeping coffee warm but the handles don’t last long.
I’ve been using these everyday for years and like how well they keep my coffee hot. The lid is more secure than the previous generation that had rubber o-rings that kinked and caused leaks. That problem is solved, thank you. I love the handles versus the ones without handles BUT their lifespan is too short. The handles are barely secured by a small strip of metal welded to the side of the mug and extending into handle maybe a third of an inch. Inevitably the handle starts to loosen, especially if it suffers even a minor drop. I can’t get into the handle to tighten the screw so eventually it falls off. I’ve come to accept that is the cost of owning this mug so I keep two, one for backup, when the inevitable happens.

Work OK, Odd Design
First, understand that the obvious place to drink from ( where you lift up the tab) Is not Where you A sip from It is actually the air release. The part you drink from is what looks like the air hole on the opposite side! So don’t try to force that tab up high enough to drink from because it’s just for air release. So another reviewer that couldn’t figure this out so I thought I’d mention. Second, the handle is very lightweight and does not appear to be made well. Seems fine right now but I feel like it’s going to not last very long. Third, and the reason for my three stars, is that the lid seems much harder to thread on than any I have had in the past. I love that this is actually leak proof, but the lid often threads wrong so I get spillage. If you put the lid on correctly it will not leak, it just has a weak thread system which causes it got to work properly sometimes. Anyway, I really like this when it works correctly it just doesn’t seem like it’s designed for someone left handed because I’m always threading it off. As for the liquid, keeps it hot pretty long. I can stick this in the dishwasher which is nice. The size is also good.

Will never spend money on another Contigo product.
I have had with all Contigo products and won’t buy anything from the brand again. This mug handle started feeling odd within a month. It was so loose stopped using it after six months. I was afraid it would break off. It’s sitting in the back of the cupboard with the others that became unusable because I thought the extra lids may be handy. The worst loose handled one was purchased less than a year ago. The others are probably about a little over year old. Because I have eight or ten of them, (my family uses them every day), the first lose handle didn’t scare me, but now all of them are feeling lose to some degree. They all have to be replaced. I don’t think we will ever buy this brand again. I have depended on the Contigo brand for years. I have purchased every style at one time or another and I have some mugs that are over ten years old. I have the cold drink glasses that you can pack in lunch boxes without leaking. Those lids broke within three months. I have had problems with the lids leaking on some versions of the mugs. It seemed like the older ones were made much better than the newer ones. I have thrown out many of their expensive mugs because buying the replacement lids didn’t seem worth the cost. They are very expensive, and replacing the lids on older mugs with the higher quality metal bottom parts, didn’t seem worth it. The decline in quality has been so disappointing. Custom service is terrible and frustrating. This isn’t my go brand anymore I don’t think I will ever buy a Contigo product again. I was amazed at the experience with another brand that I decided to try. Simple Modern has my vote now. High quality products and great customer service if you need them.Update. An out of town guest mistakenly pulled the mug from a cabinet where I had put the ones with loose handles, thinking that I might eventually try to fix them since most were only about 10 months old. She was badly scalded and I feel awful enough to update this review. These mugs are dangerous.

Keeps my coffee hot for a few hours. Love the handle as well (it’s my first time getting one with the handle) and the colour is really pretty.

my partner is extremely particular about travel mugs. Must have an open at the bottom handle for easy grab and fit in car drink holder, must fit in drink holder, must keep coffee hot for hours, no push button – flip top cover. This fit the bill perfectly and he has no complaints. First time ever I found a winner!
