Contigo West Loop 2.0 AUTOSEAL® SS (Black)

I've used contigo water bottles from some years now and quality has always been impeccable. ordered this as my desk tea mug as I like to sip hot occasionally and needed an alternative to pouring a cup from the thermos every time.Positives1) It keeps tea hot for several hours (works as advertised)2) it is easy to use as the sipper is functional and does not leak3) it is possible to pur from this into a cup if you so wish toNegatives1) you have to be careful of the temperature of the liquid you pour in if its too hot you will burn you lips when you sip. you can sip hotter from a cup but because this pours out of a spout temperature needs to be cooler than a cup2) there is no way to leave it open to cool off a bit3) Be careful when you open having kept it hot for some time there is a pressure release and it can spray some (few droplets) scalding hot steam and water.. always open away from you first. would have been great if pressing the button opened the air release first before the sipping spout so that this problem did not exist.

The product meets all the criteria as mentioned in the description. happy that I bought Contigo, worth the money .

Leaks heat through the plastic cap so not as efficient as a true vacuum flask so will not hold heat as well as one with a well insulated cap. However, the large opening allows for easy cleaning and stirring with a tea spoon. Also, be very careful drinking hot liquids from the spout, you can burn your mouth as the cap does not provide for a small reservoir to drink from but you drink direct from the spout. Apart from these design flaws, it's a good; well made product etc.

Keep beverages warm for few hours, max 2-3 hours. Otherwise good quality product, thick thermosteel.

I carry this everywhere! It's great keeps the liquid hot, and once you get the hang of using it without scalding oneself it's indispensable. Plus steel is easy to clean and maintain.We all need to do our bit for the environment, stop using takeaway cups, carry your own Travel mug and water bottles cheers

The design, fit and finish is really nice and so no complaints on that. The ability to keep things warm isn’t all that great and my experience in Delhi winters shows a max of 3 hours that the thermos keeps something hot. Moreover, the lack of transparency of the jar makes sipping a hot beverage impossible with the lid on as one cannot estimate when the liquid will touch your lips and burn them in the process. Opening the lid destroys the keep warm function to a large extent and hence practicality of this as a sipper is circumspect.

I bought 1 from the US for $17 (Rs 1190), but in India cost vary.

Good

It's a pain to clean this thing.

None of the locally made cups suited my needs, this looked perfect. It arrived today, I have given it a short test. The lid fits easily, it doesn't leak and the drinking button is easy to press. The best thing about this cup is that there is no spill around the sip hole when drinking. The slight downside is the with it being American it doesn't fit our cup holder in the car, however I realised this when buying so I am not marking it down for this issue. If you want a cup you can use when driving, this is the one.I have been using this for a few days now, wait a lot longer than the recommended 3 mins before putting the lid on or add cold water, lesson learnt, a burnt lip, this cup is great

Outstanding product. I bought this in 2017, and still going strong. No issues, leak proof. Perfect smart colour. Absolutely superb for hot or cold beverages. If you are using it for hot drinks, i recommend leaving the lid off if you aren’t travelling or needing it right away. This is to allow it to cool a little so that that its a drinkable temperature. However, if it’s piping hot with 100.celsius straight from the kettle water then it should stay hot for 4 hours. And at the 3 hour mark it may become drinkable. But you may find your experience to be different. Disclaimer: Careful when drinking hot beverages.As for cold, i recommend filling to the top with ice and the rest with water or drink of choice. When i add my mint and water in the summer. And drunk through all the water, i can add more cold water at work and the ice will still be going strong. However, with each addition of cold liquids being added and the time passing by, the ice will melt eventually.

Have a couple of these mugs in the normal size so have been looking for a larger size for quite a while. Unfortunately the lid of this one is poorly made and leaks.Have tested this lid on the smaller mug and it still leaks. As the duties and postage cost as much as the mug I see no chance for a return.Cannot recommend this purchase.Also trying to contact the seller is via Amazon Customer Services only ... with a link that only refreshes the page. Is this another case of Amazon squashing negative experiences?

Revised review:In the beginning ......the coffee stay really hot..... 5-6 hours. And I'm living Montréal ....Winter is really cold and I need to walk to my office... a 5 minutes walk in winter time .....but my coffee stay really hot 6:30 to 11 easy.....After one year......the coffee stay hot only one hour.... I contacted the Contigo support service because Contigo is lifetime garanty. I don't know if my problem is part of lifetime garanty...I will revised my review after more news from Contigo. I'm really sad because I really love my travel mug.
