STANLEY Trigger-action Travel Mug Coffee

Product Information

The comforting feel of smooth steel as you reach for your hot coffee is a familiar cool touch but strangely comforting. You take a sip as you stare out of your Airbnb at the haphazard roads of Hanoi, where you watch pedestrians escape death nonchalantly. You feel at ease since it's a handfeel you've gotten used to. At the time of this review, this bottle is also available in four other different colorways—some of which have a more sleek, modern aesthetic if that’s more your style. Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz Logo Things that you do without thinking daily suddenly become difficult when you travel. Things like taking public transport, having basic conversations, or paying for meals feels like trying to beat Dark Souls on hard mode. Sometimes, even a shot of familiarity provides the comfort you need to keep going in situations like these.

We all want the most out of our products, and this one small tip goes a long way: preheat or pre-cool your travel mug before use. Taking a few extra minutes to let hot or cold water sit in your mug will prime the material for better temperature retention. You can pour hot water from the tap or even boil it for an added boost of heat, all while your coffee is brewing.The Yeti Rambler comes in three sizes—10, 20, and 30 ounces—and each option is stylish, durable, and easy to clean. I own the 20-ounce model and appreciate that I can nearly get my hand to the bottom of the tumbler thanks to its wide rim. With a sponge or bottle brush in hand, I'm able to clean every nook and cranny. The Rambler is also dishwasher safe if you're not in the mood to wash it by hand. Unlike traditional bottles/flasks, you only have to use one hand to access your drink. Just press the button on the side of the Trigger Action Travel Mug and the clever lid opens up.

While most of the mugs on our list work well for hot or cold beverages, they are generally better at one or the other—but that’s not the case with this mug from Zojirushi. It retains drink temperature for at least six hours, no matter if you take your coffee hot or iced. Our experience with the mug was even better than the company advertises: Coffee was warm enough to drink nearly 12 hours after brewing.

Features & Usage

While the stainless steel bottle doesn't hold onto coffee smells or stains, the lid is plastic; therefore, it will do so. It's important to clean it regularly. The cleaning of the bottle is effortless since the lid comes apart, resulting in no hard-to-reach places.

SINGLE HANDED - Besides keeping your drinks hot or cold for long periods of time, this super handy mug is leak proof and can be opened/closed with just one hand.

All too often we take a sip of coffee and find it’s gone lukewarm. A reliable travel mug can thwart that dreaded, flavorless middle zone and keep your coffee at the ideal temperature for hours, no matter if it’s hot or iced. Vacuum-insulated mugs, which are typically made from stainless steel, offer the best performance when it comes to temperature retention, while plastic and silicone are the least effective materials. When buying, think about the type of coffee you drink most often (hot or iced) as some mugs are better designed for one or the other. The bottle comes in two sizes, a 16oz and 20oz version. The one I am reviewing is the 16oz version. With the bottle in hand, the 16oz seems like the more reasonable size to be drinking from. Prefer iced coffee? Then a travel mug that has a straw might suit your palette more. This model fits in most cup holders and can keep your drink cold for up to 12 hours. You can use the removable plastic straw with the Tritan lid or not,depending on your preference. The one design flaw, however, is that there is no way to completely seal the lid since the hole doesn't include a cover or flap. If your morning routine always starts (and ends) with a hot cup of joe, you’ll be pleased to meet the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz. Of course, you can use it for other beverages like tea, lemonade, or apple juice (carbonated drinks are not recommended). But we’ve found it to excel most as a portable coffee mug—keeping that liquid gold warm all morning whether we’re at work or on the go. Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz with Coffee
