I had bought name brand cups before but was always disappointed. Then, I noticed a friend and my neighbor had Contigo cups. Ok, I digress. So, I bought one. OMG!! Coffee hotter for more than an hour and a half! No way!! It couldn't be real!! My coffee stayed hot for four hours!!! Then, I bought another! My wonderful neighbor left her other cup here (not a Contigo) and I rolled over it in my wheelchair. C. R. A. C. K!!! So, I bought her one. Then, I asked her which color she wanted. She wanted the one I liked. Bummer. So when she came over, she picked the one I wanted to give her in the first place. Yay!! But, since she wanted the one I liked, I bought another one. So, since she picked the pretty one, and now I have two!! So, I may just buy the pretty one so, I will have a small collection. That's how much I love these!! They actually do what they say! Thank you Contigo for keeping my coffee hot and Amazon for having them in stock!! And also, thank you for the really nice Prime drivers!!!

I get tired of writing detailed reviews because I buy so much from Amazon. I usually just give "Star" ratings now. I'm updating this with details because I'm so impressed with Contigo as a company. So here goes!

4 years ago, I bought 2 of the Contigo Kenton travel mugs. I've never had better mugs. Earlier this year, I needed new stoppers and gasket seals for the lids. Other than that, they are just as functional as the day I got them.

I couldn't find and still haven't found gasket seals for the Kenton model that actually fit the lids. Even though they look exactly like the Byron lid, the gasket doesn't fit. I looked everywhere with NO luck. So I looked for a replacement lid. Couldn't find that either.

I was mad! I'm a spend thrift. I keep things, take care of them and keep using them until there is absolutely no more useful life. These are not cheap mugs! I didn't want to buy a whole new mug just because the old ones need new gaskets.

A good mug that DOES NOT LEAK is something that makes my life A LOT EASIER. I was mad about the gasket issue so I looked for another brand that would meet the same high standards as Contigo. I read reviews until my eyes were red and watering. I didn't want to buy another mug if I couldn't replace something as simple as a replacement gasket.

I came across this one on sale for a good price. I knew it would be good at least until the gasket needed to be replaced. I love the color. With gritted teeth, I placed my order. I can throw these mugs across the room and none of my coffee would be spilled. I mean that. I tried it!

A couple of months later, the gasket broke. I wasn't happy about that, but I had all those gaskets that wouldn't fit my old lids. They worked fine. Two months ago (7 months after buying), the flip part of the lid wouldn't stay closed. A lot of work was destroyed by the coffee that flooded out of the mug. At first I thought I just forgot to snap it closed. Not so. The snap on this lid is not as secure as the other ones.

Out of sheer stubbornness, I was determined to either MAKE the gaskets fit my old lids or find something that would. Try as I might they just wouldn't fit. In exasperation, I called Conitigo. Maybe they could tell me where I could find gaskets. That was my only reason for calling them.
In my conversation, I mentioned the problems with the Byron mug I bought 9 months ago. I assumed it was too late to ask for a refund from Amazon. She told me that Contigo has a 5 year warranty on their mugs. After asking me for the manufacturers' ID on the bottom of the mug, she told me they would send a brand new mug in 5 days. Not just a lid, an entire mug!

But it gets better. They are also sending replacements for my old Kenton travel mugs. The ONLY thing I had to do was send one picture of all three mugs side by side.

They are sending me 2 entirely new mugs because the gaskets need replacing??? No questions, nothing. 2 brand new mugs.

Within a week, I'll have 3 brand new Contigo travel mugs. I'm blown away.

I have to say it again. I am totally blown away.

As long as their standard of customer care and product quality remains the same, I will never ever buy a travel mug from any other company.

I bought this primarily for use as a travel mug. It definitely keeps cold liquids cold for a good long time (ice still exists overnight!) and hot liquids stay hot for a couple hours, warm for several more.

Overall I really like the style and functionality, except for one thing. If the contents are under pressure, as with a carbonated beverage or a change in altitude, and you open it to drink ... be aware that it can "spit" at you. I made that mistake a few times, with droplets spraying onto my glasses, until I got in the habit of putting my mouth over the sipping hole before I open it.

We have used many drink containers, but Contigo has been the best. These have proved to be leakproof and keep beverages hot or cold for many hours.
Well constructed and easy to clean.

Bought the teal and grey 16 oz set for my roommate and I. We use them for iced coffee and they are decent at keeping liquid cold (~3-4 hours before it warms up in my experience). Came delivered with no apparent defects. Be aware it uses a funky mechanism to close the uhhh... the sippy hole. It's like a flip cap on the lid that connects to a rubber plug via a plastic branch under the lid. It's a little hard to open sometimes especially if you have slippery hands. Apparently this is typical of Contigo mugs. Otherwise very good product
