Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug with AUTOSEAL Lid, 16oz., Stainless Steel/Black

I had a Contigo West Loop 2.0 mug, which I really liked. The 3.0 mug is so much easier to clean than the 2.0 was! There’s no tight spaces on the lid that you can’t reach properly to get it clean. This mug also keeps my coffee hot for hours. I wash these cups by hand (even though you can put them in a dishwasher). To me, they last a lot longer that way (especially the rubber stopper inside the lid). I’ve never been disappointed in these mugs. They’ve never leaked and the lock works well. When I look for a new mug, I always look for Contigo. They make me and my coffee very happy!

As the title says the fact that I have owned 3 of these travel mugs shows my faith in them and I will tell you why I think they are better than that "other" brand name travel mug in the next paragraph but I think it important you understand my backstory with these mugs. The blue mug in my images is over 7 years old and was used almost every day for those 7 years with either hot or cold beverages. About 4 years ago I wanted a smaller version of this travel mug for specific occasions (mainly hot coffee) so you see that in my images too as basis for comparison between the older versions of these travel mugs and the newer versions. Finally, as you can see in my images the bottom cap of the larger blue mug came off (something they fixed/did away with in the latest model) and I could not get it to back on. Well this cup served me well, so I decided to replace it with the exact same brand of travel mug. When I went to Amazon I saw (in addition to the older versions) they had a new improved larger version which I decided to purchase. What I am telling about this newer travel mug reviewed here also applies to the older (smaller) versions which they still sell on Amazon. I still use my silver one (as seen in my images) as needed. Of Course, it goes without saying these travel mugs keep beverages COLD or HOT for exceeding long periods of time. In fact, you find cautions on the bottom of the mug and the inside of the top of the mug warning that hot beverages can cause burns. Another caution they give you is to leave the lid off the top for a couple of minutes to let hot beverages cool down a little (LoL). I find both hot and cold beverages last that way for longer periods (especially the hot ones) then I want them too. I would like to at least sip on my hot beverage within the 30 minutes LoL. I like (want) the fact that they have no handle. Handles tend to get in the way especially in car cup holders. These mugs are easy to grip and natural to drink from. The actual physical color of the mug means nothing to me. Of course, these travel mugs are high quality and I think all that I have laid out thus far proves that fact above and beyond. Finally, I want to speak to the positive drink lock these travel mugs contain that are absent in most travel mugs. (I would not buy one that did not possess this feature). This is an outstanding feature that if nothing else gives you piece of mind, but I believe it has saved me many times when I have accidently knocked over or dropped the mug. As you can see in my images in the new mug, they have moved this feature from the top of the lid to the side (next to the push to drink button). This is probably more efficient and effective, but I have not seemed to get the hang of it yet and I wish it stuck out a little longer to catch my thumb more easily.

Best travel/home mug you will ever own. I own 7 Contigo mugs. The West Loop design is the superior version; I own 3 West Loops and 2 West Loop 2.0s. They keep warm drinks warm, and cold drinks cold, but I only use them as Coffee mugs. They don't spill, the button release is genius, and both versions of the West Loop mugs have a locking function. I could not believe they could improve on the West Loop design until I received my two West Loop 2.0 versions. The design changes are small, but they make a huge impact, making this the best mug you could ever own. The threads on 2.0 are no longer recessed, which could capture some dirt in this area. The 2.0 cap release on the inside of the cap provides a wide area for easy cleaning with a brush and soap. The locking mechanism is smaller and out of your way. It's perfection, and I expect to own the 2.0 versions for the many years I have owned the original versions which I am still using after 6 years. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but "Contigo" means "With You" in Spanish, and you can certainly take these "With You" anywhere.

This is the best coffee mug ever! I don't drink coffee out of anything but this mug: no spills or drips! This keeps my coffee warm for a long time.

I’ve been using this Contigo West Loop travel mug daily, and it does a great job keeping drinks hot for hours. The AutoSeal lid works well—I’ve had no leaks in my bag, which is a big plus. The matte black finish looks nice and feels durable. The only thing that surprised me was the height. It’s a little taller than I expected, so it may not fit all cup holders. That aside, it’s a solid, well-made travel mug that’s easy to use and dependable for everyday drinks.

Holds exactly 24oz. Holds temperature better than my Thermos Sipp 16 oz travel mug. Wobbles in a lot of cup holders. Leakproof, but not drip proof. A little bit of liquid collects on the door of the mouthpiece and you have to squeeze the release button and blow it back or it will drip when tilted. Beware: carbonated drinks will release a loud and spray full burst of air and mist in your face if you don’t point it away from you when completely full. Cola all over my face and eyeglasses. Everything cleans well in the top rack of the dishwasher. Paint scuffs occur after a dozen uses. Goes well in a golf bag. Locking feature works with one hand to release. East to drink and still look ahead while driving.

Best coffee container I’ve ever used. I’ve had a lot of these and they’re great , no spills and they keep my coffee hot. Only one I will buy. My problem I keep running over them with my tractor !

This is my new favorite for keeping my tea warm for HOURS, just as stated in the description. I made tea at 9:00 and just drank it SIX hours later and it was perfect temperature. I also tried to see if it really was leak proof and guess what? It is. I shook it like crazy and not a single drop came out. The blueberry is a rich color. For those with arthritic hands, the 12 oz filled is not too heavy and it fits well in my grip. I just sent my sister the 16 oz for her birthday (no arthritis!). AND, I just ordered myself a 16 oz for ice water. It’ll be interesting if ice holds up in a hot car in the Texas sun, but so far, this was a great purchase for me. It also fits well in my cup holder in the car and my zero gravity chair. One last thing. I was new to this brand, so wasn’t sure how to open it initially. Duh… It just screws open, but looks like it should be more complicated. If you’ve got tender hands, you may have to get someone to open it the first time. I just bought three of them, so I guess you might say that I HIGHLY recommend the brand and have already thanked my co-worker for showing me her cup.

I have spent many hours researching travel mugs, so I could finally have a leak free hot latte every morning when I commute to work. This was the winner. With this leak free AUTO SEAL mechanism , a Mercedes of coffee mugs. It was expensive too, minimum £25 so I decided to wait an order one on AMAZON US half the price including the delivery . I even ordered extra one for my partner. While I was waiting I bought a budget HIWILL Double Walled Vacuum Insulated Travel Coffee Mug, for ten pounds. I chose the smaller size for my son and was using it while waiting for Contigo. Yes it was too small for a large latte but leak proof and hot for hours!!! When contigo 2.0 arrived it was impressive but heavy. The auto seal works well and it's easy to clean. It's bigger than Hiwill but that's what I wanted, Unfortunately coffee loose the temperature very quickly. Having been using the hiwill I could feel huge difference. No more hot coffee on my desk when I arrive to work. So disappointed....I am considering sending them back , but it will be to US ... UPDATE: After few hit and misses with latte temperature and rinsing the cup with boiling water to make it hot I have no issues with the right temperature for at least 3 hours ! A win!

Very good thermos. I have two smaller ones same version! Love’em

Mi marca favorita de termos. Son relativamente baratos y duran muchísimo.

小さいの使ってましたが、このサイズは丁度良いです。飲み口の洗浄も楽で、やっぱりこのスタイルが一番良いです。

They are the best in my veiw to have as a coffee cup. The West Loop holds the heat, does not leak at any angle. You can get spare parts for them at a reasonable price. The west loop lid can go in the top shelf of a dish washer but the cup needs to be washed by hand as the colour can come off.
