I don’t like “travel mugs.” They leak (my car console is evident to that) and they don’t keep the liquids hot enough for me. I do like styrofoam to go cups though. While they do still leak, at least the coffee/tea stays hot. However, they’re not so friendly to the environment, and as a family, we were going through about 12 – 14 a week.
So, a few weeks ago, I ran into a fellow Weight Watcher member at Dunkin Donuts before our meeting and she was getting a refill of her travel mug. I asked her what they charge her for that, it’s 12 ounces, so apparently a small. Then I asked her if it keeps the coffee hot, and she said for a long time. Then, she proceeded to turn the cup over, and lo and behold, it didn’t leak!
She got hers at Linen N’ Things but I found mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
It was expensive, $20 but I had my $5 off $15 or more at Bed, Bath… so that worked out well – and I bought three. I figure, in what it will save on styrofoam to go cups, they’ll be paid off in 20 weeks or so. And we all love them.
If you don’t have a Bed, Bath and Beyond near your, or a Linens N Things, you can get it through Amazon.
That’s the type I use. One thing I’ve learned is that as it ages and the seals soften, it will eventually begin to drip a bit. Doesn’t happen for a good long time, though. Mine go at least a year without problems.
Me too, me too!!! I would definitely pay $20 for a decent travel mug. Leaking and lukewarm coffee is just no way to start off the morning!
I like the looks of that! I’m as clumsy as 12 bears and spill most everything I touch — this could stop the scaldings. Thanks, Kim!
Sounds like a good buy! Good for you and the environment!
If I only had that type of mug the day my travel mug tipped and spilled tea all over my rug. I’m sold! Thanks for the tip.
I think I know what I’ll be buying my husband for Father’s Day. Thanks!
