BODUM Travel Mug Vacuum with flip top lid

As a product that fulfils its title, it ticks all the boxes (or stars). Its very well made and, importantly, well designed. It has a look of quality and feel of durability around it. However, in use there are things to watch for that are not necessarily the fault of the product, more of its use and could be applied to other reusable mugs. Firstly, its stainless steel. The rubber grip around it provides an secure way of holding it, even with gloves but if you carry this externally (Ie in a pouch on the side of the bag) the whole lot eventually reduces down in temperature to meet the ambient. What this means in winter when your barista adds the coffee it can be going into a vessel that's as cold as a cup straight from the fridge, so ask them to give it a hot water rinse before adding the coffee. Once up to temperature its excellent at retaining the heat and keeps the contents hot enough for your walk to the office or for slow drinking. Talking of the grip, the diameter overall might not suit small hands so that's the only knock of a star of the ease of holding. The design means its leak proof, *if* you fasten it correctly. When the lid is screwed on it can appear ok, drink ok but with a gap a bit bigger than that required to put your thumbnail in it can leak. Its not a fault of the mug or design but in use the barista putting the lid on may not be familiar so ensure its properly screwed on. When you look at the size and capacity it seems ok, about a normal cup size. Its 355ml capacity is sort of inline with a 'tall' coffee. In use I've found that what you get from the barista is around 300ml. In places where they're not too diligent about how the milk is steamed or the quantity of foam to liquid, the resulting "Slopochino" means that what you get is very little liquid. IMHO, the foam in this mug adds no value so asking for 'no foam' gives better experience and value for money. I've also been charged for a 'medium' size drink (Ie one around 450ml) because the mug looks a lot larger than its true capacity. If it was plastic, ala the cheap Starbucks reusables, etc then its probably more closer but the raised bottom in this mug, while helping for the general heat retention, subtracts from the volume. So, make sure you ask for 'small/tall' and correct/challenge if they want to charge for medium. So, usability aside, its rather nice and would purchase again.

Great travel mug. Great for football parents. Keeps drinking piping hot for a good few hours. Can create a little vacuum making the lid difficult to get off but not too much of an issue. And tea can stain it, just need a little bicarbonate of soda and hot water and comes up bright!

Love these mugs . I have 3. Keeps your hot drinks hot a long time. Dishwasher safe- I have already bought again ( for someone else)

Decided to write this review after reading enormous number of negative feedbacks, mostly about the mug leaking. First of all people should make the difference between leaking and spillage. A travel mug is basically an isolated cup with a lid on it which purpose is to keep your drink warm for a bit longer and to prevent it from spilling while commuting or driving,hence the name - travel mug. If you are looking for 100% leak proof beverage container may be you should buy a good quality flask, not a mug!? I'm yet to find a travel mug that doesn't leak at all. If you expect to chuck this mug in your backpack or gym bag and not find it leaking you'll be disappointed. It is mentioned in the product's description that the mug is not leak proofed and should be hold upright (as all travel mugs should do). Anyway, i did a leak proof test and the result was surprisingly good - not a single drop ( i have uploaded a short video), while holding the cup upside down for about 10 seconds and even shaking it. For me more important are the insulation test results and unfortunately this one didn't score as good compared to some other mugs - Stanley or Thermos King range. I did a two hours test at room temperature 20C filling the mug with hot water of 63.8C (about wright temperature for serving tea). After one hour temperature dropped by 8C down to 55.9C (still very good temperature to enjoy your tea). At the second hour the temperature dropped more rapidly, reaching 50.8C after 90 minutes. After 2 hours the drink was not warm enough for drinking. I did a outside test as well, at air temperature 9C and no wind - after 45-50 minutes the drink was too cold for my taste. As other people have commented it is quite hard to unclip the lid, which could be dangerous if you are driving because you need to use both hands. Also, the mug has wide base and does not fit on my car cup holder. Overall, i give this mug score 4 out of 5 for the reasonable price, good look, comfort to handle and good lid design. At this price range I've seen a lot worse therefore i highly recommend it. Note: The above comments and tests are made on a new mug at the first day of use! Quality may deteriorate after a long use, specially of the rubber sealant on the lid being constantly exposed to high temperature liquids

Had one of these before and liked it but it vanished, allways keep Tea or Coffee hot for hours and no nasty plastic taste, I can safely put it in a bag on my back withing the risk of it spilling.

Used this since 2023 3-5 days a week. Only time it leaks is when you over fill. Keep the liquid about 1cm below the internal cap thread. Keeps a cuppa tea hot for 2-3 hours in my experience. Goes in my backpack on 4 mile ride home with half a cup and doesn't leak.

Have had these mugs before and found them great. Bought two new ones for family and BOTH weren't fit for purpose! Nowhere near the quality of one I've had for 5 years now. Cheap plastic lid that doesn't secure properly and leaks everywhere.

Really good quality, at a bargain price

Snygg och bra men tjejen säger den inte håller värmen lika bra som dom äldre modellerna

I received a defective mug and threw it away sadly. I my eye lids were stretched out so far they hurt, from my expression of a refund from the seller. I didn't ask for one because I threw it away and never expected a refund. The seller went beyond my wildest imagination so I thank them truly. I'm off to put ice on my eye lids and pick out a new Bodum coffee mug!
