The coffee stays hot, it's easy to clean and it doesn't even think about spilling.

Who better to ask for a coffee container rec than a bunch of other moms with small kids. Viva la caffeine! :-)

Yea! So glad you like it! I think the absolute spill-proof part is one of my favorite features. Especially since I always seem to have a wiggly 2 year old attached to me!

I saw that. We've been waiting for them to come back in stock at our Costco. Hoping this means they're back. :)

Just a tip...after you put on the lid, tip the cup over your sink to make SURE you screwed it on correctly. When you're in a rush, its easy to screw it on a bit crooked, and then it will leak everywhere! Yeah, I learned that one the hard way!

I use mine everyday...great to use around kids and computers!

Don't forget to rinse out the lids (w/the button depressed) immediately after EVERY use or it will develop gunk (aka mildew).

The giant coffee stain on my front passenger seat is testament to this fact.

There are a couple of web forums that feature tips on cleaning the lids out. We do what you decribed, but if it does get gunky, you can soak it in warm water with baking soda with the button open and then flush with water.

Yep, it is their hot mugs that are in stores now and have a coupon. Their water bottles will be back after Christmas.

We have had several now for a few years. They improved the design last year and the new lids and old mugs (and vice versa) don't fit but all of ours are still going strong with heavy, almost abusive, use. We are both total klutzes and these are the only mugs we use (for the safety ourselves and those around us!)
