Honorable Mentions<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Some travel mugs are perfectly good enough\u2014just not as great as the top picks above.<\/p>\n

KeepCup 12-ounce Coffee Cup for $31<\/a>:<\/strong> This double-walled, insulated mug aims to replicate (and replace) paper cups from coffee shops. It’s a solid option if you’re looking for a glass cup (the rubber grip is plastic, though). That said, it\u2019s not the best at preserving the temperature of your drink, and the lid is a tad wobbly.<\/p>\n

Oxo Good Grips Thermal Mug for $29<\/a>:<\/strong> WIRED reviewed this bottle in 2022<\/a>, and it earned high marks for its sturdy build and dishwasher-friendliness. But since it’s older, it now fluctuates in and out of stock.<\/p>\n

REI Co-op Camp Mug for $23+<\/a>:<\/strong> REI’s stainless steel cup is decent enough, but it doesn’t particularly stand out in the wider category of travel mugs. Our tester says the exterior coating was tough enough to show no scratches, even after knocking it over a few times outside.<\/p>\n

Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug for $40<\/a>:<\/strong> In addition to having a lid lock that’s effective for avoiding accidental spillage, the mug is also a great option for temperature control: A reviewer once left tea in it for 18 hours (unintentionally) and discovered the drink was still hot when she finally opened the lid. The downside is that the cover has three separate parts\u2014a mouthpiece, a gasket, and a lid\u2014that are deeply ridged and annoying to clean.<\/p>\n

Avoid These Mugs<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

They can’t all be winners. These two cups fell short compared to our favorites.<\/p>\n

Greens Steel Beast 20-Ounce Insulated Tumbler for $23<\/a>:<\/strong> The Beast Tumbler has more than 81,000 positive reviews on Amazon, but the rubber seal around the lid easily comes out of place. That meant it leaked like a sieve.<\/p>\n

Toaks Titanium Double Wall 450-Milliliter Cup for $40:<\/strong><\/a> More often than not, we at WIRED champion Toaks gear as an affordable source of titanium camp cookware. But this mug costs $12 more than the Hydro Flask pick above, and has a rougher finish.<\/p>\n
