TAL 18oz Stainless Steel Ranger Coffee Travel Mug, Black

I love these travel mugs so much that I've bought three of them over time. They keep my coffee hot, the lid closes securely and does not leak, and they're the perfect width to be comfortable to hold/carry in one hand. My favorite thing about this mug is that the inside of the lid is a very basic design and does not have any small crevices that make it hard to clean. Cleaning the whole mug is easy and I never fear that mold is hiding in small unseen places.

I love this container!! A ll my coffee cups have been TAL. I have been using this brand for years. This particular model grew on me because it is leakproof. However, the drawback is the lid, if the container falls, it will probably break. That is how I found out about the replacement lids. Another drawback that does not affect the rating is that the website does not have a lot of variety.

IT WAS TIME TO REPLACE MY TRAVEL MUG AND I DECIDED TO BUY THIS ONE. I LIKE THAT IT IS WIDER THAN THE ONE I AM REPLACING AND CLEANING IT SHOULD BE EASIER. SLEEK DESIGN AND AFFORDABLE PRICE MAKE IT A WIN-WIN.

It did not keep things hot for the hours they advertised, however, it does not leak and that is very important to me and the relatives I recommended it to. Relative bought eight of them.

I've had or do have all of the popular insulated cops including Yeti %26 Stanley. The TAL works better than those expensive ones and lasts much longer. I don't know why Walmart no longer carries this good product in local stores.

The mug is slender so it fits my hand. I wish it had a bit of an indent or rubber grip on the cup so it doesn't slip out of my hand. There is an indent at the top where the lip screws in and I used that to help me keep my grip....my hands are old and weak :( Seems to hold the heat well and the flip lid opens with one hand so I can open and close it while driving.

This item was a gift. I am upset because the top closure tab was not included in the shipped packaging. How can they use it without being able to close it?

I would recommend this product if you definitely wanted to make sure your coffee stays hot. On the other hand, the vent hole in the lid gets clogged easily with whatever you decide to consume from the thermos. When this happens, it is hard to get good enough airflow to get a sip of your beverage. I had to either blow into the vent hole, or suck out of the vent hole, to clear out the beverage, to get my sip of coffee. That was most frustrating, but like always TAL held up their end of the bargain by guaranteeing the beverage stayed hot or cold.

It works great until you get coffee on a dress shirt just before a big meeting. The main problem with the design is that the seal clip on the top provides a path for liquid to flow from the mouth piece to the back of the top. This allows a small amount of liquid to leak out the back of the top as you take sips from the mug. It took me a while to figure that out. I thought it was leaking out the seal but it wasn't. It was leaking out the back of the top. I was able to fix the problem by making sure the top was on tight and using a paper towel captured by the clip as shown in the photo. Funky but it works.

I had another one just like this that would keep drinks cold or hot all day. I dropped it and broke it. I found this one and expected it to be the same. This one will not keep drinks cold or hot for one hour.
