Is the Contigo West Loop 2 the best travel coffee mug ever made in the history of the universe?

​Well, is it? Yes, it could be!

I've used a good number of travel mugs and I've been disappointed an equal number of times. That is, until I discovered the Contigo West Loop v2 travel mug.

The problem with most travel mugs is that they fail in one or more of the following areas;
  1. they dont keep your drink hot for long enough to be useful
  2. they are too fragile
  3. they spill
  4. they leak
  5. they are hard to clean

In my opinion, to be a great travel mug, your mug needs to hit ALL of these points, not just some. The Contigo is rated to keep your coffee hot for up to 5 hours, well, it keeps it warm for 5 hours, but hot for 3 - and that's fine.  

​It is built like a tank, using food grade stainless steel and possibly the best quality lid I've ever used. It employs a firm Autoseal button so your coffee doesn't spill and opens only when you are sipping your coffee. It also has a lock function so you can toss it in your bag if you want.

​The lid is VERY easily cleaned; they've designed the lid so it will release the entire internal mechanism onto a hinge so it can be rinsed out clean - AWESOME!

The main difference between the original and the new model is that the new model will keep your drink hot for about 20% longer and the lid has a locking mechanism, plus the internals can be released for easy cleaning. Id say each one is a great upgrade.

​Depending on where you buy your Contigo, they will cost between $27 (currently at Officeworks in Silver only) up to $76 at various other places. Its also worthy to note that I originally wanted the Matt Black version, though there is a disclaimer that all the coloured versions should be hand washed - only the all silver, natural brushed stainless steel model is completely dish washer safe.
