Product Description
Chosen "Best Mug" by the Wall Street Journal, the Drive Time Travel Coffee Mugs are virtually unmatched in style and functionality. These award-winning thermal coffee mugs eliminate many of the problems of other travel mugs. When the lid is closed, the mug is spill proof! When the lid is turned to open, your drink flows freely. For lefties, the Drive Time "Best Mug" easily converts into a left-handed model. Our double-wall stainless insulated coffee mug holds 18 ounces of your favorite beverage, and is a winner for home, car or anyone special on your gift list. The mug shown here is Pearlescent Blue. Coffee Travel Mug - Drive Time dimensions: 2 1/2 inches at the base to a height of 2 1/4 inches, which gradually increases to 3 1/2 inches at the top (not including the handle). The mug is 8 1/4 inches tall. "We received the travel mug yesterday. My husband who insisted on a truly spill-proof travel mug is very excited. He conducted several tests on the new mug last night and is thrilled that it is really spill-proof. I want to thank you too. After many attempts, this has now officially ended my quest for the perfect mug! Best regards." -- CoffeeCakes customer

 A mug for all seasons October 13, 2008
R. Gerard (The Big Apple)
Great L'il mug, with a positive close cap. Twist the top handle to seal it for travel (as it fits into most auto cup holders),& switch it to open if you want a sip or 2. Drive Time Travel Coffee Mug - "Best Mug" - Stainless Steel
Travel Mug May 29, 2008

This is the BEST mug I've found so far. It has a pretty good capacity, the seal doesn't leak at all and the mug fits most of the holders I've tried.
I like the security of the screw on top, the metal liner, the mug's capacity, the sturdy metal outer container. It answers most of the needs I have.
The only recommendation I can think of for this or any mug, is to change the metal lining to glass or a glass coating to help improve flavor (especially when coffee is in the mug for extended trips.) And maybe bump the capcity up to 20 ounces for those of us coffee addicts stuck for long periods in traffic. (Of course that brings up another issue and maybe 14 ounces is okay)
Quite the best travel mug I've ever used May 7, 2008
James David Reyome (Department of Jam Science, Wassamatta U, Frostbite Falls MN)
I love coffee, I love tea, I love drinks that don't spill on me...and this is the best mug I've found yet. It's easy to use, dishwasher safe, and while it does drip a bit, it simply will not spill, and that's good enough for me. It's durable too; having taken some severe drops and falls, it lives. I do find that keeping it clean is crucial to the seal--all that coffee goo builds up after a while--but beyond that there's not a whole lot to complain about. My version does not have a handle, but it does have a rubber grip, and a mini-biner on a loop at the handle. While you might well ask, "what good is that?" I'll tell you, it's come in handy when I want to carry the mug with me and I don't have a spare hand. I just clip it onto my computer bag! No drips, no third hand needed. Highly, highly recommended.
 Pearlescent Blue Travel Mug Lid O-Ring Slippage January 9, 2007

The black rubber O-ring in the lid which keeps the mug from leaking has slipped out of place 3 times in the month I have had this mug. When it slips out of place (to a different spot on the lid), it prevents any liquid from pouring or leaking when the lid is "open" while allowing liquid to leak profusely when the lid is "closed." While relatively easy to reseat the O-ring, this slippage has always happened at most inconvenient times.
Pretty good while it lasted December 1, 2006

I gave this mug 3 stars because it has the best lid design for traveling (I carry mine on the outside of a small backpack, which often gets tipped around in my car, and the lid - when closed - cannot spill), but it failed me yesterday after about a year of use - the bottom fell off. I picked it up off my desk, and the bottom (a small disk of metal with the non-skid pad attached) was still sitting where the cup had been. Turns out that the metal base is only attached with about 6 small spot welds. This also allowed my to peer into its insides where there is no insultation evident. This explains why it never kept coffee as hot for as long as my Starbucks stainless press (great cup, but not good for long drives if you're the driver). I'll be looking for a genuine vacuum design next time. Disappointing (mine was red, BTW).
