Michael Phillips, director of content and copy at Blue Bottle, recommends Miir’s standard tumbler. The final bonus, Morisson says, is that it fits into cupholders in both cars and bikes, which “is not always the case.” “Coffee has sticky oils that leave residue, and there’s nothing worse than a mug that holds that flavor over time,” he says. (I find the grip itself to be secure too, slim enough to fit in one hand.) “It’s stainless steel, so it washes really easily,” Morrison says, “and doesn’t hold on to any flavors.” Will Pratt, founder and owner of Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, Maine, agrees that the material makes it a breeze to clean - and adds that if you have one, you can just throw it in the dishwasher. ![]() Jerad Morrison, co-founder and co-CEO of Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco, explains that the temperature retention is thanks to the double-walled interior, which also means it’s never too hot or too cold to hold on the outside. This is even the case with iced coffee the cubes never obstruct the opening or cause uneven flow. The mouthpiece is small enough to allow a steady stream of liquid to flow without spilling, but it’s not so small that you feel you’re not getting enough out. The whole lid screws on tight, and a small piece flips up when you take a sip, then locks back in when you’re done. Allie Caran, product manager at Barista Valet in New York City, puts it very simply: It’s “super-sleek, retains heat and cold really well, and never leaks,” In my testing, I found the same to be true. The MiiR Travel Tumbler came up most frequently with my panel of experts, and after testing it myself, I could see why. Volume: 12 to 20 ounces | Lid type: Flip lid | How to clean: Dishwasher safe While all of them work well, if you’re going to invest in this long-term good practice, you want to find the one that best fits your coffee habits and, of course, your aesthetic preference. All the travel mugs on this list have temperature retention for at least a few hours, with the exception of three, which I’ve noted and explained. To find the travel mugs on this list, I spoke with 18 people whose taste in a travel mug I would trust (more than a dozen coffee professionals, sustainability experts, and my fellow obsessive Strategist writers) and then narrowed things down by testing them out myself. Plus, I can sip some, throw the container in my bag, and save the rest for later. ![]() It saves money and keeps my drink hot or cold for longer. They’re also more convenient - I make my coffee and tea at home the vast majority of the time, but now I pour it into one of the reusable travel mugs I tested for this story whenever I want to take it with me on the go. Every single one of the pros I talked to for this story said not only that ceramic, glass, and stainless-steel options are better for the environment but that they actually make your coffee tastier than paper or plastic does. And trust me: Baristas are more than happy to oblige. When I walk into any coffee shop, I see at least a handful of people asking for their beverage to be poured into their own reusable vessel rather than something disposable. ![]()
