I bought a couple of these awhile back and was very disappointed. They didn't keep my coffee warm.

I've bought enough from Woot...it's time to post.

Bought this on a Two for Tuesday. Doesn't leak. Doesn't fit in the cup-holders in my car. Pain in the arse to unscrew top to drink and then screw it closed so it won't leak.

Do you like my use of the english, "arse"?

BTW, this does have to leak just a little bit otherwise you'd never get your coffee into your mouth.

Quality?

Got 2 on 2fer Tuesday. Still a good price. Bought 2 more. LEAKPROOF! No more coffee allover my desk.

That's all I needed to hear.

Dont waste your money. First of all they are too large in diameter to fit into your cup holder in your car. Second they really dont keep your beverage very warm for too long. The only good part is that they are leak proof.

It does not fit many cupholders unless I bang it in with a fist! I does not keep the contents hot! I have to say when the top is securely on it does not leak or spill out when dropped or falls in your lap. I'm sorry I bought 4 of these...I'll give them to people I dislike for gifts...hahaha!

got the 2-pack last time and used them as Christmas gifts for people i don't like that much. They all got tricked into thinking i like them a lot. Good quality mug(s)

I was disappointed the mugs weren't double steel wall construction. Those are the only ones that keep their insulation properties for any length of time.

a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build

Woot - thank you for understanding the times. Yes today is a day to say, "thanks". Tomorrow we can get back to telling jokes.

Doesn't drip, but won't fit in my car cup holders either

Works great, keeps coffee warm for the time I drink it. Last time got 2 for the price. Doesn't fit under Kurig (but that's not a problem). You will have to learn how to drink from it. Loosen the lid too much and you spill liquid onto your shirt.

The mug is nice for the price. But I have stained a few woot shirts drinking from the funny lid.

Yes, and it's still too big, but you can hold it at an angle and there is no spillage whilst filling. However, if you have a normal-sized Keurig brewer and require coffee before operating heavy machinery or performing tasks that require dexterity, take a pass.

They are not well insulated, and it takes a bit to get used to the lid, but they will survive nuclear detonation. Just don't expect hot post-apocalyptic coffee (unless we're talking about glowing beans). And the sticker that comes on it doesn't lie - they are leak-proof. They're just not spill-proof, as I demonstrated over the weekend (luckily in the kitchen).

PROS:
- Slim design for cup holders in your car or bike.
- Does keep hot drinks hot/cold drinks cold.
- Easy to clean.
- Secure seal. No spillage when properly closed.

CONS:
- No flip straw, or ample holes for inserting your own straws. This mug is NOT for those who hate head tilting for that last bit of drink.
- At open/drink mode, drink comes out at moderate rate at best. Forget it if you want to "guzzle" rapidly. You'll have to remove the lid to do that.
- The secure drink/open operation is not what you'd expect. You're actually, literally loosening the lid. There's no internal locking mechanism for secure drinking, without loosening the entire lid altogether. Actually, that's the only way to put it on drink mode (by loosening the lid by one spin from fully closed). No snap open door, no twisting the top to a locked and secure drinking mode...none of that. Just a primitive loosening of the lid. "I hope I didn't loosen it too much, or it could spill on me while I'm drinking."
- The clear removable seal comes off easily during washes (like a rubber band). So, if you happen to lose it (say down the drain), any anti-spill properties this mug had just went down the drain with it.

I got one of these Stanley mugs for Christmas (Thanks, WOOT!), and I LOVE it. Why do I love this mug so dang much?

Two words: SPILL PROOF. But there's more. Several of the features other commenters have questioned or criticized are, in fact, reasons I love my mug all the more. I'll address some of these issues now.

- "The drink does not flow quickly!" How fast do you want to chug your coffee? Most people prefer to sip theirs. The lid's delivery system slows the pour and cools the beverage a little to prevent scalding.

- "The mug does not keep coffee at a near boil all day!" Correct. It is a mug, not a vacuum flask (usually called a thermos, which is actually a brand name). A mug is for drinking beverages at a reasonable temperature. A thermos is for long term, insulated storage. If you need to keep a beverage at the same high temperature for hours and hours, Stanley makes some of the best vacuum flasks available.

- "I'm not sure about that handle." I like the handle. It doesn't interfere with my car's cup holders. It's roomy enough that I can fit a gloved hand in it... like a glove. I've never hooked the mug on my belt, but it's nice to know I could -- without spilling. Did I mention the mug's spill proof?

-"Yeah, but is it REALLY spill proof?" Yes. When the lid is twisted shut, the contents will not come out. Only a deliberate act of twisting the lid open will allow contents to pour. Whether you throw it in a bag, jump up and down with it or shake it, the contents inside will stay inside. That being said, remember that if you've been drinking, drops of beverage might remain on the pouring lip.

An important note about maintaining the seal: The bottom of the lid has a plastic ring that can easily come off for cleaning purposes. DO NOT LOSE THE RING! If you lose the ring, you lose the seal, contents spill, and the mug loses value.

I love this mug. I'm in for two more, just in case mine gets lost or stolen.

Important note!

The plastic gasket that seals the cup and makes it leak proof falls out easily. Kind of annoying when your cleaning it. This means you have to fiddle with it and put it back on.

Also, I'd say liquid remains warm for 2 hours. Not 4.

This mug is PERFECT for my commute. I ride the bus to my job, which means I need to have my hands free to pay and sometimes I have to stand.

So - I sip on my tea while waiting for the bus, close it up when I see the bus coming and shove the travel mug INTO MY BAG. Then I get on the bus, pay, stand when I have to, and don't even *think* about my tea until I'm able to sit again (or until I get to work).

It is entirely leak proof.

Well some people drink things other than HOT COFFEE out of their mugs.
For example, iced coffee?...maybe...just might happen.
There's sodas, warm broth-like soups, and other guzzle'able drink stuffs.

In those cases, YES, we'd like a mug that allows for more rapid drink flow.

Drink comes out of the opening a bit slow. So if you chug your coffee like I do, you'll likely end up with a face full from the top hole a few times until you retrain yourself how to drink. Otherwise, great coffee cups.

I bought 3 sets of 2 from Woot b4 Christmas to give away. They were a big hit.
I was impressed with:
Didn't leak at all when closed, lots of mugs do.
Small size base, fits in most cupholders easily.
Was not impressed with:
Plastic inside, not SS.
All in all, I was happy and so were my giftees.

So It Goes.

i got two last time and they don't fit in either of my cars cup holders nor do they fit under my Keurig but they are spill proof and dishwasher safe...

Agreed. I love using my Stanley mug for coffee, but I wouldn't recommend it for cold drinks unless you really enjoy slow sipping.

You know, that's the funny thing about Woot!. I'd buy 2 of these $8 plus $5 shipping for both but $9 each is just too much for me.

Just my 2-cents.

Turn Key

I bought these the last time they come up on here and was disapointed. They look cool, and they really are leakproof, but I work outside and they kept my coffee hot for about as long as a Dixi cup would have. Clean Canteen is the only way to go. Yes, they cost about twenty dollars, but your coffee will still be almost too hot to drink at lunchtime and still pretty warm at the end of the day. It's really amazing. And they have a leakproof lid too. Cheers

I bought a 2 pack of these for my wife and she loves them! I have no need to carry around coffee but she "must" have her coffee on the way to work. She has a number of travel mugs but says these are really good and uses them more than any of the others.

Does not fit in pop-out BMW cupholders (3 series 2006+ at least)
Worthless for keeping stuff hot and cold (plastic on inside - not a double wall stainless steel)

Yeah, I learned that the hard way. I just thought these would be good enough for any type of drink. I'll chalk that up to not spending a bit more on a Thermos or fancier mug that handles more types of drinks, and has more features.

I'll certainly give the Stanley mug points on simplicity and ease of use.

16 oz is for noobs (learned that from my 9 yr old haha)

i gots me a 24 oz... (and I fill it TWICE)

Go big or go home!

:-)

Totally agree with majority of people posting that this does not keep drinks hot for more than 30-60 minutes....but if you want a leakproof mug that is hard to drink from on your daily commute than this is for you...otherwise, stay away form it!

Ditto..
At first I really enjoyed the quality, but the coffee comes out a little slow. Assuming it would be fine for extremely hot coffee.

The little clear seal keeps sliding off when washing.

Is Woot mad at us?

grabbed the 2pk another day - not in love - painfully slow flow when open unless you completely take the cover off, but true that it does not leak when closed.

I bought two of these last offering. These do keep you from spilling BUT DO not keep coffee hot for long. so for the price check if you can do better.

We still like you.

I bought these in December and am disappointed. hard to use, top heavy, and don't keep beverages warm as long as my oxo. The Oxo stainless steel liquiseal mugs with lifetime warranty far superior and are about $6.99 at TJ Maxx

If only I had some sort of insulated cup that I could do the "cooking" in? ;)

Can I fit a stray through the opening and use it to drink?

The lid design sux....There is little room between unscrewing enough to use and the lid no longer being on....and when it is unscrewed to just the correct sweet spot the lid interferes with your lips trying to drink it....if you can remove the lid when you use this it's fine...if you want the lid on when you drink get another mug....

$20 at Starbucks :-)

I got a two-pack of these last time they were on Woot and I love them. They do have a plastic inside so they capture smells (mine smells like coffee) but they can be cleaned, so I don't mind that much. They are wonderfully spill-proof when they're closed, though, and they hold in heat well. I love them.
