Insomnia travel coffee mug ? good ? average ?

Piliger

Has anyone bought one of those orange travel mugs they sell in insomnia for €9.50 ?

I am tired of coffee going cold while I read my Kindle in Insomnia ... but they don't look like they would be that effective ... and no free coffee or cheaper coffee to balance the cost

I think you're gonna get a lot of 'Don't drink there in the first place'.

Sure ... that's great and all ... but it doesn't make Insomnia bad ..
And I don't have a Starbucks near me.

Got ours from Amazon last year after doing some research and these got good reviews and we are happy with ours. They go in the dishwasher too.

Which model ? I really don't like the thin tall kinds ... they are just too tall and unstable to make me comfortable.
I like the look of the "Morgan Double Wall Insulated Mug - 12 oz." on that site however ... (?)

The Aria model, not too tall, fits in the car cup holders too

Yes thats the one I have although I use it for keeping drinks cold, the only "mug" I have had which delivers on it's promise of being leakproof.

I have chosen this one .... so I hope it'll do the job.

whatever people think of their coffee they do sell keepcups which imo for a desktop type mug I find the best. They look like proper take away cups and you can fire them in the dishwasher which you cant with most other "travel" mugs.
They're not spill proof by any means but i've used it in the car a few times with no hassle. That said I drive an automatic so was holding the cup most of the time.
