I’m pretty non-committal when it comes to travel mugs, simply because I have so many to choose from. The sheer number of portable cups, canteens, and double-walled tumblers in my possession take up an entire cabinet shelf in my kitchen. The sad part is that I don’t LOVE any of them; some are leaky and unreliable, some don’t sit comfortably in my car’s cup holder, some can’t keep my coffee hot even if they wanted to.

Whenever I want to take a drink on the go, I just grab whichever one is cleanest and closest and head out on my merry way. I’d go as far as to say that I’m settling. But those days are coming to an end. I want to be in a serious, committed, lasting relationship with a single travel mug and I think I’ve finally found the one.

The Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug, $24, is vacuum-insulated (meaning: it keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for hours), spill-proof, comes in eight different colors, and fits in all standard cup holders. It’s designed so that you can flip the lid open with the press of a button but also comes with the security of a safety lock so that your morning brew won’t accidentally leak all over your work laptop.

If you remove the screw top, you can stuff full-sized ice cubes inside, which I can’t say for most of the travel mugs I currently own. And it holds 16 fluid ounces of whatever your heart desires — coffee, water, wine! Best of all, the company offers a five-year warranty, which is longer than any relationship I’ve ever had.

Let’s see some customer testimonials, shall we?

“My husband and I have purchased so many different travel coffee thermoses and mugs throughout the years. Most of them leak, are difficult to clean, hard to drink out of or just don’t keep the coffee hot long enough. This is a Japanese brand that I’m actually familiar with because our rice cooker is from Zojirushi. I purchased this for my husband and I remember the day he got home from work the first thing he said was, ‘you literally got me the Holy Grail of coffee mugs!'”

“This is, bar none, the world’s best mini travel thermos. I spend countless weekends at our local outdoor hockey rink during the winter and carry this little bad boy around in my cargo pocket with hot tea — it never goes cold ” 

“I love this! It keeps my hot chocolate very hot. It does not leak, at all. I like that I can lay it down sideways and not worry about leaks or spillage. The lock on the top makes me feel more secure that it won’t open/cause leaks. It’s attractive. I can hold it easily and comfortably in my hand. I especially like that I can take the top apart to wash. I love everything about this.”

And there you have it. I don’t know about you all, but I am ready for a lifetime of travel-mug commitment.
