About this deal

As a well-established brand you might assume you can rely on Thermos for high-quality products, but our tests show that not all of its travel mugs are created equal. The first thing to say is that I really like the look of this travel mug. I didn’t think I would use the word ‘elegance’ in a review of a travel mug, but I really feel that this has a certain elegance to it. It manages to combine the almost-delicate curves with the sturdiness of the steel. It really works. These are all about the look. The iglu cups are all beautifully designed – a lovely bold travel mug, available in a huge range of colours to suit your style. They are fast-becoming a company that gets recognised, so having their logo on your coffee cup will get you admiring nods from fellow travellers. It is priced accordingly, though. It is the second cheapest product on our list – if you just want to use it in the car or on your commute, then this is a perfect travel mug. Maybe this is even simpler – Reusable Coffee Cups are for commuters – Travel Mugs are for adventurers. (It is possible to be both, of course, just remember to take the correct mug!).

We go from a company that does a bit of everything to a company that does just the one – Mighty Mug. A company devoted to ‘stopping spills before they happen’. A noble cause, I am sure you will agree! Before we get into the ‘unspillable’ nature of the Mighty Mug, we should first consider the key travel mug characteristics. It has a capacity of 0.47 litres, which is slightly bigger than the last few items on our list – a good size for a travel mug.

Next up we have a Classic from a classic travel mug producer – Stanley. Founded in 1913 when William Stanley Jr fused vacuum insulation with steel to make a portable drinks bottle – and they have been developing that original design for over a century since.

A truly budget option for you now, by the brand synonymous with keeping your drinks warm – Thermos. They’ve been making products in the industry for over 100 years, and they remain one of the biggest names around. The lines between the two are a little blurred, but basically the main difference is that a reusable coffee cup is a direct replacement for a disposable coffee cup that you might get from a takeaway coffee shop – the paper cup with the plastic lid.A travel mug, on the other hand, is something that you would take away with you when going away – sort of a cup version of a flask. This bottle-slash-mug is completely leak proof thanks to the complex design of the lid, which all comes apart easily so that you can give it a thorough clean. The unique KeepDGREE technology and double-walled design means that your drink will still be warm 5 hours after it is made, which compares pretty favourably to most travel mugs. Well designed and well insulated, the best travel mug will keep hot drinks toasty and cool drinks ice-cold, while also staying leak-free. From classic coffee-shop cups to thermos-shaped designs, travel mugs come in all shapes and sizes. At first glance, travel mugs can seem expensive. If you’re thinking about using one on your commute, you might find it hard to justify spending what might be five to ten times as much as an Americano from your local coffee shop. However, walking out of your door already holding a coffee will save you many more pounds in the long run and you’ll avoid those annoying queues. It is made from high-grade materials – stainless steel – and it employs a vacuum, airtight lid which means that your drink will stay warm for 6 hours, or cold for 12 hours. It is a point that they are keen to emphasise – these mugs are not just for your hot drinks. They recommend using it for smoothies, wine or even your morning yoghurt! It’s a very versatile travel mug.

Stay hydrated on the go with our range of travel mugs and flasks. Perfect for keeping your favourite beverages hot or cold, our collection combines style, functionality, and durability. Whether you're commuting to work, heading to the gym, or embarking on an outdoor adventure, our travel mugs and flasks are designed to keep your drinks at the perfect temperature. Choose from a variety of sizes, colours and designs to suit your personal style and needs - we have travel mugs made from bamboo, toughened glass, stainless steel and ceramic. Our insulated travel mugs and flasks are designed to ensure optimal heat retention, so you can enjoy your hot coffee or tea hours after pouring. For those who prefer cold beverages, our flasks are designed to keep your drinks chilled, refreshing you throughout the day. With leak-proof lids and easy-to-use handles, our travel mugs and flasks are designed for convenience and ease of use. Whether you prefer a classic stainless steel design or a sleek and modern look, our range offers something for everyone. If a reusable travel mug is on someone's wish list this Christmas, you could be tempted to opt for a mug from popular brand Thermos. Like the Thermocafe item above though, it should be kept upright – it is not completely leak proof if it is tipped up. Again, this may put some people off as it wouldn’t be suitable to be put in a bag and jostled around.Many of us have experienced our hot drinks going cold after a short time or, even worse, finding they’ve spilled or leaked in your bag. However, with our great selection of flasks and travel mugs, those memories will now be a thing of the past! Say goodbye to leaky, lukewarm drinks and hello to secure, warming flasks. It is one of the more expensive items on our list today, but there isn’t a lot in it really. It’s a great bottle that is great at doing the job it is designed to do. Perfect for the outdoorsy types.

Capacity: This will depend on where you are going and what you are doing, but maybe you’ll want something that you can sip from all day, or just have one drink Heat retention: How long do you want your coffee kept warm for? Is it a case of the longer the better? It is rugged and built to last. They use rust-proof stainless steel to create the double-walls which has a reassuringly solid feel to it. They go a step further than most – for the last few years, all of their products have been ‘climate neutral’ in that they offset all of the CO2 emissions during the process of manufacturing their products. They also work with partners to build drinking wells in areas of the world that need more drinking water. In short – these are some of the good guys.Available in plenty of different colours, all with a classic stainless steel base, these have become iconic in their own right. You probably know someone with a Bodum mug.
