Amazon.com Review
Drinks stay hot or cold for up to seven hours in this insulated, double-walled, stainless-steel travel mug from OXO. Plus, three silicone seals in the lid opening prevent leaks and drips from spoiling clothes on the way to work. One hand is all that's needed to operate this mug: a button in the middle of the lid opens the drinking seal (a red background alerts the user to its open position); and then closes the device. Letting a few seconds lapse before closing will allow liquid in the spout area to drain back inside, thus preventing drips. The sleek, brushed-finish, stainless-steel body of the mug fits any standard car cup holder. OXO's signature soft, non-slip material rings the mug neck, allowing for a secure grip when drinking or unscrewing the contoured lid. The mug holds 14 ounces--room for a double-tall latte with extra foam. A marked `max' line inside prevents over-filling. Preheating or pre-chilling the mug is recommended for increased insulation value. For best results, wash the mug by hand after each use. OXO backs all its products with a satisfaction warranty, and will replace or refund any returned item. --Ann Bieri

Not Perfect but not Bad either October 3, 2008

To clean this mug you have to use a LOT of vinegar. Basically fill the cup half or more and then turn it upside down and let the vinegar pour through the lid for a bit, then click the lid shut and let it soak with vinegar trapped in the lid mechanism overnight. Then wash the whole thing out with hot water and a little soap, then rinse with cold water until the suds are gone. Kind of a hassle but that will make the cup taste fresh again. My lid clicker stopped working after about a year. Turns out the inner rubber seal had worked loose. It wasn't too hard to stretch it into place again and now it works fine again. My biggest complaint with this cup is actually that coffee only stays truly hot until you start sipping it. Once you start clicking it open and closed it cools off rapidly and once the cup is only half full it cools rapidly. But that's probably true for any thermos mug that only holds 12 oz.
 All around good mug September 30, 2008

Good size, seals and retains heat well. The only mug I've had that I liked better was from REI (it retained heat a little better and was even more leak-proof), but that had a thermos style lid and I really do like the convenience of the the push button drinking access on this one. You do have to make sure that you let liquid drain back into the cup, or that you drink remaining liquid that's left over after you seal it. Otherwise, you get enough drops coming out to stain your clothes.

How to Clean September 26, 2008
JSH (Tennessee)
I've had this travel mug for 6 months and absolutely love it. It's incredibly durable and the seal is like Ft. Knox. My cupholders are very shallow, and this mug flies all over the place without incidence. It does not leak unless you screw the top on un-evenly.
The best way I've found to clean it is as follows:
1. Put a couple drops of dish soap in it (equal parts vinegar and water would work well if you were scaranoid about build-up in the valve).
2. Add hot water.
3. Put the top on with the valve closed, and shake it like you're making your favorite martini.
4. Open the valve and pour all the hot, soapy water out.
5. Repeat with cold water a couple times.
6. Make sure when you set it out to dry, you leave the valve open so all the water that's in the top can drain out and evaporate. You don't want mildew growing in there.
By the next morning, you're good to go.
 Had potential, but design is flawed September 9, 2008

I've been using mine for a few months now for my coffee and tea. This thing is impossible to clean and there's always a strange smell coming from the lid.
I've tried soaking in vinegar, detergent, baking soda, hot water, everything. It makes my stomach lurch to think what's growing in the lid mechanism.
It did keep my liquids cold/hot, and never leaked, but it is clearly NOT safe for extended use. You can clean it religiously but things will get stuck and build up and grow some nasty bacteria. Even if it doesn't make you sick, your drinks will always taste strange.
