I have gone through many, many travel coffee mugs that have been listed as top picks on various authoritative blogs and websites. None of which listed my Owala. Here's what makes it perfect (and one suggestion):
1. The sipping mechanism is flawless. No drips, smooth flow, and very easy to clean.
2. It is genuinely a one-hand operation. Yes, the slider can be stiff...but that is a matter of strength and not poor design. Leakproof does require tightness.
3. It fits into cupholders in my car with no jiggle. The slanted sides allow for a snug fit in various cup holder sizes.
4. It keeps my morning coffee hot all morning.
Now for the suggestion...some type of handle would be nice but with all the other positives its a small thing that a third party can help with.
