Do You Use A Travel Mug?

**elizabethann** · 12-07-2006, 04:15 PM

Can you help me? This is for work.

Do you use a travel mug? Is it stanless steel, plastic, acrylic?

Does it have a handle?

Is it a curved travel mug or straight?

We're looking to order travel mugs and we want the hippest and hottest ones.

Thank you for your help!

Since I work at a coffee shop I have a million travel mugs! However my favorite is a straight stainless steel mug with a handle. Those also seem to be the most popular at my work. They are more expensive but people are usually willing to spend money on the stainless steel as they last longer.

LOL -- I just filled mine for work!

Its purple see-through plastic with a stainless steel insert from the Rennaisnance Faire. It has a nice handle that has little bumps on the underside where your fingers should go.

I don't use them, but my husband does. His favorites are the tapered stainless steel ones. Of course, being dishwasher friendly is also important!

I echo Logan -- dishwasher safe is ultimate importance!

Stainless steel here. It is smaller in circumference at the base but not tapered - the base is smaller for the first couple inches up to fit a car cup holder - make sense? The steel seems to keep the coffee hotter.

Mine is NOT dishwasher safe because it has grandbaby pictures on it (came from Imagestation) - so dishwasher safe would be a big plus if I were to get another

I dont use them but hubby does. He has many kinds but pefers the ones that fit in cup holders, and that have handles. All of his are stainless steel! and they are all dishwasher safe.

Well I hate to say it, but my favorite travel mug I got from Sheetz- it fits the cup holder in my van perfectly, no handle and the lid doesnt leak.. And its purple..

Yes I do have just like you want.. E-Bay purchase.. Go to E-Bay & type in Travel Mug && Waa Laa..

Thank you all very much for responding. It seems most (if not all of you) have one with a handle. Yet my boss insists we get one without. I like the stainless steel (and my boss does too).

Thanks again!

I had a stainless steel with out a handle and lost it- but loved it.. It got lost at some truck stop on the way back from a dog show... ( pout pout..)

Stainless steel, w/ handle

My favorite commuter mug is a stainless steel one with a handle. Get one that's lined so the coffee stays hot. Do not get the "flippy" type sippy mugs - they are a pain and the flippy part always breaks.

I have just a cheap plastic one at work with a handle. I use it for water and it works pretty good.

I just had to share this...
My nephew loves the band KISS and is always going to the local coffee shop so this year I decided to get him a new mug for Christmas (with a bag of yummy coffee included). Isn't this cool?!

I have a stainless steel one with a half handle so it can still sit in a cup holder and it is dishwasher safe which is soooo important I bougt 12 of them they were thermos ones on special here last christmas so my husband and I have one for every day of the week.............
