- All of the
travel mugs we recommend should keep your coffee hot during and after the morning rush. - The Contigo Autoseal West Loop is the most versatile, easy-to-use choice for commuters.
A travel mug seems like it should be an easy purchase, but hold off on buying the first one to catch your eye in a big-box store. Any decent travel mug will keep your drink hot or cold for a few hours without leaking, but consider your habits before buying. Are you a car commuter who needs something that can fit securely in a cup holder? Do you want a mug that can be used one-handed while you scroll through Twitter on your phone? Will you be tossing the mug in your bag so you can savor it later at the office?
We combed through expert tests and roundups of travel mugs and read hundreds of owners' reviews to find five of the best options in this crowded category. Our picks include a great all-around option for commuters, a mug that can keep your coffee hot enough to drink for an entire day, and a more rugged option for weekend play. We also include travel mugs with more appeal for design lovers and tea drinkers.
