Amazon.com Review: This tumble offers easy-sip, no-spill commuting. Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated thermos travels to work or your favorite recreation spot. On arrival, and for hours afterward, coffee, tea, or soup will still be hot. Or lemonade, iced tea, or a sports drink will still be chilled. It's compact (7-1/2 inches high) and handsome. A band of soft, nonslip black rubber encircles the tapered, satin-finish exterior, ensuring a firm grip. Top and bottom are black plastic. Fine threading ensures the twist top seals tightly, while the smooth interior cleans with sponge or cloth. Preheating or prechilling with hot or cold water is recommended. --Fred Brack

Rating: - great travel mug with few issues
As most people have stated, this cup is a great cup for the car but is not leak-proof. Additionally, that little nubbin (?) in the latch does hold your liquid and dab it on your nose when you start to get to the bottom of the cup. Lastly, for those of you looking for a cup to fit a small European car's holder, this DOES fit the bottom, but is a bit snug (and makes it hard to fit another drink in the side-by-side holders).
Rating: - Handy lid for inserting a straw
The lid on this cup is easy to clean. The hole in the screw-type lid is large enough to accept and use with any straw without difficulty. This is a fine way to use the cup when driving, allowing you to drink your coffee on the way to work, etc., without taking your eyes off the road. The vacuum-insulated cup keeps your coffee adequately hot for a couple hours. I much prefer this lid design to the Oxo mug lid. The Oxo lid is more spill proof, but it does not accept a straw so you must drink directly from the cup, which is awkward as you get near the bottom of the cup if you're driving; with the ...

Rating: - This goes everywhere
My husband loves this carrier for his coffee. It will keep coffee hot for at least three hours. It's in the car or in his golf cart every day. Ours is about four years old and holding up very well. It even goes in the dishwasher with no ill effects. At the current price of $17.82 with super saver shipping, it is well worth the cost.
Rating: - Faithful up until recently
I used this religiously for the past 2 years not having experienced any big problems outside of those mentioned in the previous reviews--the leaking issues, the coffee drip on the nose, etc. I loved that it kept my drink hot for hours--I am not exaggerating!
Well, okay, one little complaint is that it is a bit cumbersome to wash the thing. With all of the little areas that the coffee can sit (from the sloshing around and the liquid settling itself in the different areas on top of the lid or just from drinking it) it is not the easiest to clean. I'm a nut when it comes to cleaning ... Read More
Rating: - Long Lasting Heat, could spill
Provided you pre-heat this with hot water (I just use tap water that's hot) before you pour you coffee, you will have hot coffee all day...if you don't leave the flip-top latch open all day (generally a good practice since it naturally allows the heat to escape).
This thermos would have received 5 stars from me if it didn't spill (though it closes all openings, it will leak out of the latch's hole if tipped sideways, which I'm guilty of doing when my hands are full). The other thing is if your nose touches the latch, your likely to get a small bit of coffee on the tip of it.
