edit: hope i can recommend products here. i like to make 6 cups. have one in the morn, fill up the thermos (bout 2.5-3), and take one to go

edit2: YES i realize this was a post for a new messenger bag, but i figured id toss up a spill-proof thermos for fun

I've gone through maybe a dozen travel mugs (including the Contigo) and settled on this.

It's not cheap, per se. But it's an incredible value because it's vastly superior:

• When closed, it's completely leak-proof.
  
• It will keep your coffee hot for 5+ hours. And drinkably warm for 10+ hours.
  
• Unlike the Contigo, there's a basin that the coffee flows into before you take a drink. This allows you to control the flow rate. (It's difficult to sip from the Contigo.) This is important b/c your coffee will remain hot for 5+ hours.
  
• It's easy to clean. (The Contigo's cap is complicated b/c of the auto-seal mechanism, which makes it hard to clean.)
  
• I've owned mine for 8 years and have never had mold or needed to replace the gasket.

seriously, if you want to keep your coffee hot, the thermos pictured is one of the best on the market. if there were a /r/thermosporn, it would be the poster child. my only problem with it is the top mechanism is a tad flimsy feeling (though i've still yet to break it) link:

I'll just leave this here

I would recommend this thermos I have been using one for awhile and it works great. Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but it is pretty solid.

I'm just going to butt in here and recommend this guy. I got one a week ago and I'm extremely happy with it. I got some coffee from my favorite place this morning at around 9:30am and stuffed it in my bag. I had a pretty crazy day and was only able to take a few sips of coffee, it's now 7:15pm and I took it out of my bag, took a swig and it is still pretty damn hot. It also tastes exactly the same as when I got it this morning. I'm telling you this thing is awesome, I'm picking up another one for my permanent roommate.

It's spill-proof and will keep coffee hot for at least 6 hours (that just happens to be the longest I've gone before finishing - could actually be longer).

They're much better than a drip machine. Get a carafe to keep the coffee hot if you make more than 1 cup. I have a Nissan Steel vacuum travel mug and it's the best!

Sorry, the correct answer was the Thermos 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Backpack Bottle, Silver. All the great things the BIFL folks said are true. Easy to maintain/Bulletproof/ and amazing insulation (vacuum FTW).

I think the best option is a Nissan Thermos travel mug. The second best option is a Contigo travel mug. The reason I like the Nissan more is because it keeps my beverages hotter for much longer, it is much easier to break all the way down (taking off rubber seals and whatnot), I like drinking out of it more and the overall construction seems a bit nicer. Many people will surely tout the Contigo. I have one and it does get used, but if I were to lose it I would replace it with another Nissan Thermos travel mug.

Just a PSA, I have a zojirushi that I bought amidst the hype, and it's great. I also have one of these that I got on sale a couple years for $16. It works just as well as the Zojirushi and at this point, has less scratching on it despite being older. I see this thermos on sale quite often (and most stores, when not on sale, sell it for about $25, which is about equal to the LOWEST the zojirushi has ever been).

I'm not saying the Zojirushi is over-hyped, because it absolutely lives up to expectations. The thing is, it's just an insulated thermos. There's no new space age technology inside or some high tech manufacturing process that makes it leagues better than competitors. It's just a solid thermos that (usually) costs way too much.

tl;dr- This is on sale, that's cool. Other products work just as well and generally cost less.

Never used plastic coffee mugs too much, but the one I have now has been great to me:

Plastic sipping rim, with a stainless steel interior and exterior. No notice of a weird taste, and great at temperature maintenance. That lens mug does looks sweet though; however, it seems there are mixed reviews on amazon about it. Some knock the quality of construction while others complain about odors:

I like this. Its a little on the expensive side, but it keeps my water cold for a really long time. This is my favorite design. It has a nicer o-ring and its good for hot beverages, too.

I thought about that one, but I wanted one I could drink on the road so I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-JMW500P6-16-Ounce-Stainless-Steel-Backpack/dp/B000K604P0/ref=sr_searchpop_5_dp?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1318535369&sr=1-6

I have this thermos backpack one Keeps my coffee hot for hours, holds 16oz which is enough for me, and works fine.

i'm checking around /r/buyitforlife and the thermos branded ones and hydroflask are also brought up a decent amount

not seeing anything with 'cryo' though - and never heard of one, but it's not like i collect travel mugs either

i'm sure you could find it eventually - not sure it is up to the same level of quality/usability of these choices.

I use one of these and it is the best thing I've ever bought. I put it in a sock so it doesn't rattle in my water bottle cage, or just throw it in my backpack without any worry of it leaking.

I can't believe Thermos Nissan was so far down. I've used the backpack bottle for the past 5-6 years and the only issue I've had was losing them

• Camelbak Ice bottles (2) filled to top with ice and water (or sports drink)
  
• Dash of lite salt into each bottle
  
• Spare ice in the thermos
  
• Extra bottles of water in the rack bag
  
• A hat, not a helmet
  
• A bandana around my head to catch the sweat (I carry a second to swap out half way).
  
• Do -NOT- wear cotton anything
  
  Now then, if I feel really hot, like I'm headed toward trouble, I squirt some of that ice cold water on my back while I ride. If it gets really really bad, I take one of the bandanas, get it wet and tie it to the back of my hat, draping across my shoulders.

Nissan travel mugs are the best. THE BEST. I've used two different ones, and they have both astounded me. My coffee will sit in a cold winter car for 24 hours, and still be warm. Not even close to hot, mind you, but warm to the tongue. It literally defies reason.

GET A NISSAN TRAVEL MUG and never go back.

Edit: Apparently they are owned by Thermos? These are the two I've used...

I just bought this one and am really pleased. I accidentally left coffee in it overnight and when I got up the next morning, it was still warm. Not that I drank the yesterday coffee, but it was impressive nonetheless.

I use a Thermos Backpack Bottle for all my hot or cold beverage needs. It keeps stuff hot of cold for hours. I doesn't leak. It has a little latch on the top so you can securely close it. I even put it in my purse with books and things! When you drink from it, it is like drinking from a cup, so you get the aroma of the beverage. It is fairly easy to clean. The only problem I have had with mine is that the color (mine was brown) came off and now it is just silver steel. It is steel inside and out. Feel free to ask me more questions. I am kind of passionate about this bottle.
