My new favorite cup!
At first I was disappointed that I missed ordering the 32-ounce size, but after I received this 24-ounce version, I'm very glad this is the one I received.It's large enough to hold plenty of hot coffee or tea for me, and it fits in my cup holder in my car! I would have been completely annoyed with a cup that I couldn't use easily in my car since I commute so many days of the week.I usually try to find at least one negative aspect or something that can be improved, but I have nothing but praise for this cup. The flip top works great to sip from, and the screw-off cap and straw for cold drinks functions just as designed, too. The straw is removable for easy cleaning (just don't lose it). I have a set of straw cleaning brushes that work great for this task, but it will also go through the dishwasher. The whole cup and components are dishwasher safe. I have other travel mugs that are not, and it's kind of a pain.I would issue caution for filling this mug with very hot liquids if you're planning to drink them right away. It keeps them HOT!!! On my first trip with this cup, I had filled it with a couple of tea bags and recently-boiled water from my tea kettle. It was still too hot to drink 2 hours later! If you're planning to drink your hot beverage right away, you might want to allow it to cool slightly before adding it to this cup. I have no doubt that it can keep drinks hot for 6 hours, and if the insulation is that good for hot drinks, then cold drinks should be no problem, either. I will get a better test of this during the summer when the temperature rises above 100°F.My favorite feature of this cup is it does not spill. I've tested this multiple ways. I turned it upside down and shaken it, and I've knocked it over multiple times. I don't think it's an intended use, but the silicone strap for the screw-top lid works as a finger loop for carrying. I've only done that when my hands were too full, though.The price for this mug is also very reasonable considering how awesome it has performed for me. The 32-ounce version is maybe a slightly better value, but I'm so glad this one is small enough to fit in my cup holder. I'm impressed enough with this cup that I will most likely be ordering more to give as gifts to my kids for their upcoming birthdays. My son has already tried to "steal" it, so I guess he needs his own.
