Chance
I’ve been drinking coffee in (and out) of travel mugs for over 15 years. Travel mugs have always been a tradeoff between keeping your coffee hot and fresh, and smelling (or even tasting) gross old coffee.
It’s always been a necessary evil to have hot coffee on the go.
Almost every travel mug I’ve ever used has eventually produced gross flavors and scents that are tough to get rid of. Dishwasher, vigorous hand-washing, barkeepers friend, vinegar, etc. all have underwhelming results in eliminating the odor and flavor of old coffee. If your mug has silicone sealing rings, you can bake them in the oven to finally get rid of it, but they’ll come back before long and it’s a hassle to deal with. Sometimes those oils even penetrate the plastic lids on travel mugs and they’ll smell gross no matter what you do. Then you’re looking at a replacement lid (or just throwing the whole thing out).
This Yeti tumbler is the only travel mug I’ve found that just doesn’t hold onto those flavors and odors. If you keep it clean, you can easily drink water or beer from it and have no idea that it’s usually used for coffee. This is what you want.
The size is great. It’s insanely durable. The lid is very easy to take apart and clean thoroughly. It can tip over briefly without spilling all over the place. The magnetic slider is simple and easy to operate with one hand and removing it for cleaning is a breeze (obviously).
The biggest problem you might have is that your piping hot coffee might still be too hot to drink after an hour or so if you keep the lid closed. This thing takes forever to cool down, but the times where you take a nap or have to run an emergent errand and you return to fresh coffee at the perfect temperature, you’ll be thankful for that. It’s glorious.
Yes, it’s relatively expensive. Yes, the Yeti brand is aimed at Salt Life bros with Costa sunglasses and cargo shorts. But the product speaks for itself. It’s the best on the market.
