It will get dirty because it comes in contact with the beverage.2. The lid snaps apart, so you can clean it out and properly dry it. It kept my beverage warm in my car while I was skiing on the mountain - no joke. Also, make sure it can dry thoroughly.3.
Always take apart the lid when cleaning. This mug is great. Hand wash the mug. I didn't find the beaner to be too useful because it is small. This will avoid the disgusting smell and mold that others have seen.
Don't put any parts in the dishwasher. With a bigger beaner, you should still be able to use the keyring and you can attach it to bigger items (like a backpack strap), so you might find that this is a good solution. I came back three hours later to find the liquid inside was still hot.If you are like me, you'll be willing to follow the instructions to save yourself from all the hassles others have.1. Be sure to close the top between periods of drinking if you want your beverage to stay hot/cold.4. If you aren't willing to do it, don't bother getting the mug because you will be complaining in just a few weeks.
While I'm on this note, take off the rubber gasket too, and clean and dry it separately. If you want your beverage to be really hot/cold for a long time, prep the mug by filling it with hot/cold water and letting the insulation get used to it before filling in your beverage.Notes:-I haven't used this mug for cold beverages, so I cannot comment on that.-The packaging includes a keyring which fits on the mug, and a beaner that goes on the keyring and anything you want to attach it to. Personally, I didn't find it that useful and don't care to use it.
Wanted a health safe hot commuter mug that's capable to keep my hot coffee longer and no leak. I've used it for over a month in car travel so far so good, no leaks, keep hot long enough till I finished. Read many reviews on this and other travel mugs, the Thermos 14 oz. Leak-Proof was most convincing. One down side is cleaning it, bottom is deep and narrow for adult hands. Get a bottle-sponge cleaner.
This is a very attractive and well-built mug, but it is quite a bit smaller than I expected.
I've been using this mug nearly everyday since I've been gotten it and it is absolutely perfect. It is leak proof when the lid is twisted in tight, keeps hot drinks hot for hours and hours, and easy to drink from. I can close this, put this into my leather bags, and not need to worry that it will spill over everything.Very pleased with this purchase and hope they don't ever discontinue this mug.
These make great gifts too. I've purchased a bunch of these mugs and have gradually been replacing all my other travel mugs. The only downside is the handle makes it a bit difficult to fit in the car's cup holder if you have more than one beverage. They don't spill, and keep coffee warm for several hours. I'll fill my cup in the morning, and the coffee can stay warm all the way until lunch. Watch for when these go on sale, and pick some up. A bit more expensive than other mugs, but worth it.
