I'd had one of these before, but lost it in a move. I tried a few others and just couldn't go back. Not finding them locally, I scoured the internet until I found it here.
I love this mug.
There are a few things that I really love about the mug, but are really a matter of preference. The handle is attached to the lid. This is unusual, but I love it.
This doesn't keep things *quite* as warm as other, more insulated mugs do. Some people might not like this, but I love this quality because I always tend to find drinks to be too hot. It keeps them warm, but cools off quickly enough for me to drink it.
The lock has a lock. The handle has a large button that you have to hold with your thumb to drink. But there's also a switch on the side of the handle that can lock the button closed. This may be annoying for some, but I find it extremely handy for when I'm carrying it around: I don't have to worry about anything bumping that button and causing a spill.
The mug is sleek and shiny, but doesn't get covered in fingerprints. It's easy to clean, with a clever mechanism in the lid that opens up and allows you to scrub behind everything. A little tab on top comes off, allowing you to clean the vent too.
When I first had this mug, I worked in a very busy environment where it was extremely common for people to knock their mugs over. This one received the same treatment, but never leaked once. The only time I've seen it leak, I had it unlocked (but without the button pressed), held it upside down, and aggressively shook it up and down.

Two beauties and one beast from the same company
Pictured are three Contigo travel mugs. The center is my old, 12 oz standby. The autoseal design is pure genius. It is completely spill proof unless you press with your thumb. This has been a get-out-of-jail card when a standard coffee mug on those occasions when an accident would have created a big mess. There are other spill proof mugs, but you have to remember to close them when you are not drinking. Both holes in the lid open when you press your thumb so the coffee flows freely when you are drinking. For dishwasher cleaning, everything opens up, but remains attached so nothing can get lost.I haven’t seen this design for sale in years and I was afraid that Contigo discontinued it. I was very happy to buy the reincarnated 16 oz version shown on the right and it is terrific. Everything I loved about the old cup is here and I like the larger volume. My tiny complaint is with the center bar on the lid that means that the mug is often in contact with my nose while drinking. The insulation is great (but an electronic version would be even better - hint hint). This is my go to coffee mug whether I am traveling, eating, or in a meeting.Now, look at the mug on the left. Notice that there is no lip by the drinking hole, so that burning yourself when drinking hot liquid is guaranteed. I can’t imagine what they were thinking. So, it is for cold drinks, only

A caneca é simplesmente PERFEITA. Linda demais. Muito bem feita, ótimo acabamento, além de muito prática, funcional e segura.
Com líquido dentro, mesmo virando de cabeça pra baixo não pinga uma gota. E a trava de segurança dá mais tranquilidade.
Promete manter a temperatura quente por 5 horas e gelado por 15 horas.
Fiz apenas o teste com líquido quente. Depois de 4 horas mantinha quente.
Estimo que a diferença entre temperatura do líquido quando a caneca foi abastecida e passadas as 4 horas foi de cerca de um terço, ou seja, nesse intervalo de tempo esfriou uns 30%.
Recomendo demais.
