Hi all

Very very dull but I'm looking for a new travel mug, ideally one that is genuinely leak proof so I can have in my work bag.

Anyone recommend one?

I use this one every day for over a year and is totally leak proof, can shake it upside down and nothing comes out.
Just takes a little more effort to clean the seals.
Keeps tea genuinely hot / warm for 6-7 hours thumbup

How long do you want to keep the drink hot for?

I have a reusable glass keep cup which I use in the mornings to keep my tea hot for around a hour

I also have another thermos style one which has a ceramic inner, I would recommend getting one like that for longer times as the mental inner or plastic inner ones totally ruin drinks for me.

I've had one of these for the best part of a decade and it's great. Pretty much indestructible, has never leaked. Make a coffee at breakfast and it's still obnoxiously hot by lunchtime. If I had to criticise something, the colour started flaking off the outside after about 7 years of being in the dishwasher most nights.

I like the Tiger Mini Thermos available on Amazon but come from Japan, very similar to the Thermos direct flask.

Have tried loads of others - this one is the best to date.

Avex. One handed operation, never leaks.

I’ve got a cheap Asda one. It pisses all over everything

Take that as you will

Keeps a brew hot (or cold) for hours, one handed operation. Very tough, drove off with it on the roof once, barely a scratch.
Used daily for last 3 years, still in perfect working order.

I have one of these and pretty happy with it. It's a little tall for keeping in my car's cup holder but it will fit. I think it was only £12.50 when I got it presumably because the colour wasn't popular.

Agreed, I’ve got 2 contiguous flasks both are excellent.

Do you mean it pisses coffee all over everything?

I have a Morrisons one, cost less than a fiver.

Doesn't leak, bounces well too but the only issue (and the reason I'll be changing it) is that it's a bugger to clean.

Look no further ! Pre heat it with boiling water and a cup of coffee or tea will stay hot for an entire day. It gets thrown in my tail pack on the bike and is a very welcome treat in this weather. No leaks , sturdy design, fuss free operation. Come with a handle or not.

+1 the only time I have had to replace or get a new one is when i've lost an older one or I want a backup. They last for years of daily use. In fact, i'm having my morning coffee out of it as we speak!
