Contigo Autoseal West Loop Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug with Easy-Clean Lid, 24 oz

I had a contigo many many years ago and I loved it for its durability and leak proof design. However I stopped using it because of the hard the clean top. When I received this newer design contigo I was so pleasantly surprised! The new east to clean design is exactly what I was looking for in a travel mug. It’s easy to clean, lightweight, keeps my drinks warm and on top of all of that it’s so cute! Loving this new design. Can’t wait to get more colors.

This is an incentivized review with special thanks to Influenster for sending it to me to try out. This Contigo West Loop mug is so, so beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice! The best way I can describe the Crystal Sake design is a “crackle” patterned metallic base that is a mix of sage silver in color. Reminds me of a mermaid scale pattern. I’m personally not into glitter or sparkles, never have been, so this mug is still chic but also minimalistic - just my style. It’s 100% spill proof, leak proof, easy to clean, BPA free and holds its content’s hot or cold temperature for a LONG time. New autoseal lid button is great - just press it to sip your beverage and release it to seal! It also has a tea bag hook for those days you just aren’t feeling coffee.

This is a beautiful thermos! I have used it for both hot and cold liquids and find that it keeps both at the right temperature for 6+ hours. It’s leakproof, which is something I’ve had issues with on other thermos brands, and I like the push button to open the drink spout. The only thing I don’t love is that you can only get small sips since the opening is really narrow. Great for hot liquids, not great if you want a refreshing cold drink or to put your water in there. I also have some concerns about cleaning the bulky lid (will dirt get stuck in there, etc) but thus far it’s been great! Perfect for on the go and fits wonderfully in both my hands and car drink holder.

15 years of new models and they still leak?!

Overall, I would recommend this product for the simple lack of other similar products that perform better or feel more sturdy, but the problem that I had when I purchased my first Contigo travel mug over 15 years ago persists. I have used every different Contigo model of travel coffee mug and I have the same issue with all: they leak!No matter how much or how little fluid is in the cup, no matter how diligently I wipe inside the threads of both the lid and cup before screwing it on to get every last possible drop that may be present above the lid’s threads, I always end up with several drops of coffee dripping down from the space between the plastic top and steel cup (I don’t mean from the top Auto-Seal opening on the lid; I expect a few drops to remain, so I ... MoreOverall, I would recommend this product for the simple lack of other similar products that perform better or feel more sturdy, but the problem that I had when I purchased my first Contigo travel mug over 15 years ago persists.

Never.).I know they have redesigned inside the lid several times over the years to make cleaning easier, but I wish they would go back to the drawing board on the actual screw-on seal portion, because $25 a piece is about $10 more than I’d like to spend on a leaking coffee cup.

Best Travel Companion a Girl could ever ask for!

Love this mug, I have had this mug almost a decade now. Purchased is on a military base and it has been through a lot, to include a lot of countries. I have used it almost everyday since I purchased it. I has just now showed issues, and it was not even the products fault. My kid wanted to do a "deep" clean on it and threw out the rubber-like stopper in the lid mechanism. If this piece was available for purchase, I definitely would and keep jugging along. Everything about this product has been great. I have never seen anything close to it.

Inconvenient

I have another travel mug from this brand that I love that my nephew has now assumed ownership 🤣.The disadvantage of this mug is that you need to turn the mug totally upright with your head tilted back to drink, which is quite annoying. I bought it to be a traveling mug, but the drinking position, even for a sip, is inconvenient and dangerous if driving.I just don’t find it conducive for my purchase purpose .Also, it’s too tall to fit under my Keurig to fill with my coffee. So, I have to put the coffee in another mug, then fill this mug 🤦‍♀️.

Keeps Drinks Hot Almost Forever

Bought one at the recommendation of a dog park friend. Found an ugly-colored one on sale at Walgreens. Lid is easy to clean, and it keeps drinks hot for a long time. I'm usually a coffee drinker, but I made hot tea the other day, and several hours later, it was still too hot to drink. Had to drop an ice cube in it so I could finally take a swig. I've purchased several more for gifts and the recipients have enjoyed them as much as I have.

No Replacement Lids Destroys a Perfect Product

Remember the old Stanley thermoses? Some of you do. They were practically indestructible. However, if you lost or broke the stopper or cup, you could order a replacement. Those days are long gone. I will say I was impressed by my friends Contigo West Loop coffee thermos that I immediately went out and bought one. I loved it. I was even able to replace the plastic lid when it broke. That was then, this is now. Contigo has joined the host of greenwashing corporations that tout their reusable products as a way to reduce waste. The longevity and durability of a product is determined by its weakest component. In the case of the West Loop, it's the lid. We have half a dozen beautiful stainless steel thermos bodies with no lids. We could recycle them, but they're so ... MoreRemember the old Stanley thermoses? Some of you do.

Only one I've used for years

I've had mine for at least 7 years. I've had other people gift me waterbottles or travel mugs and they've all come and gone but this one. I only wash it in the dishwasher, because I don't have time in my life to handwash (that's a deal breaker for me; if you can't survive the dishwasher you don't get a space in my house!). My kids knock it over, I toss it in a bag, I slam on my breaks, it never spills or needs special attention. I use it all day, every day, at work, in the house, at night it's by my bed. Never have to worry about knocking it over in the dark or on my keyboard! it travels with me everywhere. My morning caffeine to my afternoon sips to my evening hot chocolate. I've even snuck booze in it once or twice. Love it's one-handed use and passive locking. ... MoreI've had mine for at least 7 years.

Was my favorite until the spring stopped working

This was my favorite mug for avoiding spills, I used it daily until 1 day I spilled my drink on my bed. I thought maybe I closed it wrong. Nope, turns out e sipping opening wasn't even all the way closed even though its supposed to automatically close. I soaked it and used every cleaning solution I could think of with a straw cleaner to get deep in there but there was nothing stuck in the springs, they just suddenly corroded. No way for me to replace it so I had to throw the cup away. So sad. Now I know not to get a cup woth such intricate parts. It was perfect if only it lasted.
