Lid is poorly attached; temperature retention very good.
My drive to work each morning is 30 minutes. I was looking for a mug that would reasonably retain a nice warm drinking temperature for the entire commute, and one that was Stainless Steel on the inside.
Dissatisfied with plug-in mugs after trying 5 different ones, because they all failed within 6 months, I resorted to looking for a passive mug.
I ordered a Thermos Nissan from Amazon and while it was in shipment I bought a Starbucks mug for $19.95. (Both are 16oz mugs)
The following review compares the heat retention ability of the Thermos to the Starbucks merely for something to compare the Thermos to as the Starbucks' heat retention ability has proven to be adequate for my commute. I also did a leakage ... Read More
Expensive Piece Of Junk
Just got this thing for hubby for work...he didn't even get out the door on first use before the lid popped off when he rested his thumb on the top edge! What a shame! He loves his Thermos Work Series 40 oz. thermos as it keeps things very hot for a long time...best he has ever had, but this thing that passes for a travel mug is a disaster for Thermos. I have no doubt that this model gets lots of returns and complaints.
The other thing that worried me was the fact this travel mug is so light! This thing weighs less than a single piece of my 18/10 stainless flatware! It felt more like an aluminum alloy than stainless steel. It doesn't look like stainless on the inside either, but that might just be because it is unpolished. Still, ... Read More
Great Insulation, but leaks :(
very very good with hot stuff, i prepared the coffee in the morning and forgot it and trying to drink it after 6, i found it remained very warm, not hot.
Bad cover, I dont think the rubber ring will live, and it leaks.
So this is optimum for someone who drinks his beverage throughout the day
Keeps it hot, but...
This mug deserves 5 stars for its ability to keep liquids hot for a very long time. It is attractive and easy to clean. I was disappointed with my purchase, however, because:
1) The lid is really not leak-proof. It's even an exaggeration to call it leak-resistant. You must carry the mug fully upright if you don't want your coffee to leak out of the top (and onto your clothes, shoes, or the floor).
2) The drinking hole is too small. Because Thermos didn't provide a small opening somewhere else on the lid to mitigate the effects of the vacuum seal, you can only take tiny sips of your drink at any given time. It's virtually impossible to actually *drink* from it. I've resorted to pouring my coffee into a porcelain coffee cup, which ... Read More
Top Heavy, topples over easily
I like that it is slim enough to fit in a regular cup holder and the handle is nice and comfortable, but it makes the cup topple over easily.
