Coffee to go mug recommendations...

[spikerS]

Not sure where else to put this....so here goes.

Looking for a good, easy to clean, easy to use travel mug for coffee.

requirements:
1. Easy to clean
2. easy, non intrusive way to open and close the opening
3. must fit a standard F-150 cup holder
4. Must be able to keep a coffee hot for a minimum of 90 mins
5. you must be able to tell me where I can go locally to get it.

Whatcha got B?

The Contigo travel mugs available at Costco and other retailers. It meets all you criteria except for maybe the easy to clean. I run mine through the dishwasher but sometimes the lid requires a little bit of soaking to clean the rubber seal on the mouth piece.

It'll keep your coffee warm for a long time though and I have never had one leak.

x2 Contigos are great to use and dishwasher safe.

Technically only the lid is diswasher safe but I put the the mug in there everyday and never have had issues.

+1 for the contigo. I have the autoseal with the lock. Some of the newer versions of the autoseal coffee mug doesn't have the lock feature which I find sort of annoying. Not sure why they got rid of the feature on some of them. I think costco still has the older versions that can lock. I make my coffee in the morning, lock it, and then toss it in my bag. Definitely wouldn't toss it in my bag if it didn't lock.

ok, since the concensus so far is the Contigo, where can I get them besides Costco? I no longer have a membership there.

yeah, what they all said, love my contigos.

not sure where else other than costco to get em locally.

Canadian tire has them.

Another one for Contigo at Costco 2 for $19. I have about 10 of them for home, work, etc. They're excellent.

Canadian tire charges like $20 for one.

You can go in and ask for a day pass at Costco customer service, buy what you need and it won't cost you a membership.

The pass is just to walk around and look, if you want to buy something you'll need to buy the membership

The above looks good, the lid passes my tests. I have bought four Contigo travel mugs from Costco, they come in a two-pack. I put them in the dishwasher, upper tray, never had any issues.

They do rattle around in some car upholders though. So test it out.
