West Loop Autoseal Travel Mug, Stainless Steel Thermal Mug, Vacuum Flask, Leakproof Tumbler, Coffee Mug with Easy-Clean Lid

I have a serious drink problem… namely that I often fall asleep while watching tv and drinking a cup of tea sat up in bed, only waking up once it’s burning me and has soaked the bedding and mattress. Yes, I know I should probably stop drinking tea and coffee in bed, but I’m disabled so spend the majority of my time in bed, so I can’t stop or I’d probably dehydrate! In an effort to solve this burning (sic) problem, I have tried many different types of leakproof travel mug of varied prices, with varying degrees of success. Usually even the most leakproof end up spilling because I fall asleep before screwing the top back on or pushing the nozzle back down. It’s like I have tea-induced narcolepsy, but only in bed! 😆 THIS MUG IS MY SAVIOUR!!! Finally I’ve found a mug that won’t spill if I fall asleep, because it only allows liquid out when I’m pressing the button - it’s sealed by default! Hurrah!!! I cannot tell you what a relief it is to know I don’t have to forego my favourite hot beverages, I don’t have to change my bedding 2 or 3 times a week in the middle of the night due to tea spillage, and I don’t have to worry about ruining yet another mattress due to it being wet all the time! Much rejoicing has been done in this dojo, because of this wonderful mug and its fantastic autoseal feature that makes it completely leakproof except when I’m pressing the button to open the drink hole. Yes, this mug is pricey, even the sale price I paid could buy a couple of different brand mugs - but they are vastly inferior to this wonder of the mug world. Rather than pricey, I would describe it as ‘premium’, a high quality drinking device that’s worth its weight in gold, because it’s solved what was a massive problem for me. Apart from that, it’s a great-looking mug, it keeps drinks hot for hours, and it’s easy to clean - the autoseal mechanism just pops out on a hinge for easy cleaning then you click it back in and you’re ready to go. Some things are expensive because they’re a rip off, some are expensive because they are very high quality and incredibly well put together. This mug falls into the latter category, it’s worth every penny. Heck I’ve even bought another in the Black Friday Week sale, I’m that impressed with them. A very easy two thumbs up for the best mug on the planet, I thank you and my mattress and sheets thank you, oh great inventors of autoseal 😁 👍🏻👍🏻

I have tried several types of insulated travel mug but I much prefer Contigo. It’s very well made with quality materials and it’s easy to clean. I regularly stick it in the top shelf of the dishwasher and have had no issues. I especially like the auto seal feature which completely prevents leaks until you actually want to drink out of it. If the mug is dropped or knocked over there’s no spillage and the extra lock button allows you to chuck it in a bag without fear of accidental leaks. Keeps drinks hot enough on the average commute and well after. In fact I often have to add a dash of cold water in order to be able to drink it straight away. It’s also quite robust having dropped it on concrete several times with only minor dents and scratches. My colleagues have been impressed with it too and all have bought their own. Great travel mug all round.

An excellent daily travel mug. It keeps drinks hot for hours, is completely leakproof, and feels sturdy and well-made. The Autoseal button is easy to use one-handed and works reliably, making it great for commuting.

This is a great travel mug. It’s a good size, leak proof, easy to drink from when in the car, and keeps my drinks hot for 4-5 hours or so. It’s so trustworthy that I can put it in my bag and I know it won’t leak at all. The lid can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher, but the cup needs to be hand washed. I’d recommend washing it with a brush every day. You won’t be able to fit your hand in it to wash it with a sponge, and the staining builds up quickly if you’re using it for hot drinks like tea. The colours are lovely, but I really think the coating/paint needs to be more durable. I’ve got a Sho tumbler, which I love, but it’s not leakproof. However, the powder coating is much harder wearing on my Sho. I can push it into my car’s cup holder without any scratching. The contigo scratches so easily (my ring even managed to remove some paint the first time I unscrewed the lid). I certainly wouldn’t consider putting it in my car’s cup holder - it would scratch straightaway. If you’re buying a cup that’s a nice colour, the coating should be strong enough to withstand normal everyday usage, especially for the price (they seem to be over £30 now, whereas I paid £23 in November 2024). That being said, this is a great cup. I’ve had my other Contigo West Loop Autoseal Travel cup for 5 years. Yes, it’s scratched and has a dent from having been dropped, but it still works perfectly. I just think they need to improve the coloured coating in line with others companies.

I’ve had my Contigo West Loop thermal cup for a couple of years now, and it’s still going strong. It still seals perfectly, with zero leaks, even after regular use. The build quality is excellent—solid metal body, durable top, and a nice sleek design that still looks great. As for insulation performance, it’s brilliant. It keeps hot drinks hot for hours and cold drinks cold for hours too—perfect for commuting, long drives, or just keeping coffee warm on a slow morning. The only downside is the ease of cleaning. The cup is quite deep, and the narrow opening combined with the sharp-ish lip where the plastic lid screws on makes it tricky to get your hand or sponge down to the bottom. I came up with a workaround: I squash a sponge inside and use a fork to spin it around at the bottom—works well, even if it feels a bit ridiculous. Other than that, this is easily one of the best thermal mugs I’ve used. It’s held up incredibly well, never leaks, and looks as good as the day I bought it. Summary: Durable, leak-proof, and keeps drinks at the right temperature for hours. The only minor drawback is the awkward cleaning, but it’s manageable with a bit of creativity. Still an excellent mug after years of daily use.

I already owned one of these clever thermal mugs - I bought this one for my elderly father because he enjoys hot drinks but unfortunately can drop mugs or allow them to spill. The "autoseal" design feature is perfect for him - it feels entirely natural to press in slightly on the opposite side of the mug to your mouth as you raise it to take a drink to allow the valve to open - and for my father the reassurance that if he drops the mug he won't make a huge mess is priceless. The hot drink inside will also stay hot for hours, and the "lock" you can achieve by pressing the appropriate latch on the top of the container is also reassuring - it works perfectly to stop the "normal" drinking button from releasing the contents. On my own Contigo I always use this function as soon as I've filled it up, just in case I drop it and the valve might otherwise release some of the contents when it hits the floor. Highly recommend this travel mug which is a great size and works extremely well in practice :)

Love this travel mug, keeps my coffees warm for ages and when my first one fell out of my bag i bought a replacment immediately! Great value, well made, easy to hold and non spill!

Expensive but this is second we have purchased Does what its says on the tin My coffee stays hot for 5-6 Hours if you keep the lid on and drink from the dispensing lid Cannot recommend more highly as opposed to other we have tried No chance of spilling when your are using whilst travelling - Fantastic
