Advantages: Cheap and keeps drinks hot for hours

Disadvantages: Does leak when drinking with lid on.

I regularly travel long distances between my home and friends/relatives so I wanted a product that could keep my drink hot for a few hours meaning I don't have to spend a fortune on the go. I bought mine for around £5 off Amazon which I thought was a good price. The design is sleek with stainless steel body and a black lid/handle and the branding on the neck. Thermos are a known brand with experience in this area of product design so I felt confident when I bought the travel mug.

It is insulated with foam to keep all liquid hot in the flask for around 3 or so hours and can hold 0.45lt of liquid which is a good amount. The item is compact and can be put away when not being used in your work bag or whatever. There are two ways you can drink from the mug. The first is to remove the lid and drink your drink in the normal way you would a mug of coffee. The second is to drink with the lid on, there is a slit where you can drink from.

This is where the major issue with the item arises. I have found (and reading other reviews of the product say) that often when drinking with the lid on there is leakage from the mug, I often find spills on my clothes which is an annoyance to say the least. This is troublesome when you are actually moving, but when you are stationary you can just remove the lid anyway and the problem is averted.

All in all a good product.

Summary: I recommend to all travellers.
