Ello Magnet 18oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug with Side Handle and Leak-Proof Slider Lid and Built-in

I drink three travel mugs of coffee every morning. Some might say that's too much, but I'd argue it's the perfect amount. So for years now, I've taken three cups with me to work so I can have a few hrs worth of delicious coffee goodness. Throughout all those years, I've had many-a-cup. Some haven't fit in cup holders, others haven't had good seals or simply wouldn't keep the coffee hot for more than a couple hours. I even had cups with lids that randomly popped off creating a wicked hot mess (literally), which can ruin an early morning in a hurry. These cups, however, will forever hold a special place in my heart... I've had two of these for nearly three years after receiving them as a gift (Sept 2020) and recently bought two more about a month ago (May 2023). Those first two have been through many hardships as my daily drinker over such a long period of time. I once dropped a full cup out of a large forklift at top speed (like 13mph) onto asphalt from about 6' high. Once I noticed and later found it after a few hours, the cup was fine, the lid was tight, and the coffee was still hot! I was so excited that I told everyone at work about my amazing indestructible cup as they stared at me with a complete lack of interest 😁 It had a few scratches from the fall, but that was to be expected. If possible, avoid throwing it out of a moving vehicle. Although mine was fine, it's probably not designed to survive such extreme impacts. A huge benefit to me, although a minor detail and certainly not important to everyone, is the cup having a handle. Excellent for carrying (obviously) and I'm able to hook it into my pocket when I have to carry other things or use both hands for some reason. Makes it exceptionally convenient and now I can't imagine going back to a handleless cup. I can shake it up to mix the coffee, sugar, and cream (and sometimes chocolate syrup 😋) together without any spillage and they fit in all the cupholders in my life without an issue. As an added bonus, they're aesthetically pleasing to the eye, as well. If you like to have a need for portable liquids, these cups are perfect! For anyone that leaves reviews like: "it's a cup, what else can I say..." This ↑ 😆 Read more

I just had to write a review on this travel mug. It's the best. It's good looking and stays that way (some mugs colors peel off when put in dishwasher). It has a sturdy handle that doesn't get loose. It's got a really tough cork or cork like material on the inside of the handle and a ring of it on the bottom of the cup for non slip and non marring of the surface you set it on. The thermal quality if very good. But here's the kicker. The sliding thingy on the lid that opens and closes. For the life of me I don't know what it's official name is. But when it's open you can drink out of it and when it's closed, it's locked tight so no liquid can escape. It's the best one I've ever experienced. It slides back and forth so easily. It actually seems to be spring loaded for closing. When you move it to a certain point it snaps shut. And it's almost as easy to open. I've had this for 3-4 months and use it every day and it gets washed in the dishwasher almost every day. The handle is very handy. You can of course hold it or not hold it to drink. I sometimes hook it on my pocket or anything the handle can slip over if there isn't a surface to set it on. And the way it's designed, when you screw the top on tight, the opening is always 90 degrees to the handle. And you can do it for both right or left handed holding. In my experience, with some of these cups with the screw on top I've had to fiddle with it to get the screwing started right. This one needs minimal fiddling. It's really amazing how drip free it is with it's sliding hole cover. Minimal effort to open and close and it's so leak proof. I'm serious about that. I've never seen even one partial drop of liquid escape. An amazing combination and for me a very appreciated piece of engineering. I hope this is read by the people who designed this fabulously designed cup so they know there's someone out here that really appreciates their ingenuity and cleverness. I could say more about how much I like this cup, but you get the idea. It's now about 5 months of using this mug with multiple trips through the dishwasher. I originally hinted that the colored coating on the mug is dishwasher safe. Turns out it isn't. The coating started to peel off at the top about a month ago. Then every time it got washed in the dishwasher, it peeled a little more. The worst part about that is it can get through the screen where water leaves the dishwasher and gum up some of it's mechanical workings. So I eventually scraped all the coating off with a butter knife and did no damage to the shiny stainless surface that got revealed. It's still a great looking cup and I still give it 5 stars for it's excellent rugged and useful design. The sliding thingy that locks the liquid in is still working like brand new and is still probably my fave part of this well designed mug. Too many are clunky and much harder to open and close and some of those still leak. Still have ever ever had a leak out of this one. Read more

I highly recommend this cup. I work construction so I typically make a coffee really early in the morning maybe around 4:00 a.m. and then leave for work. There's times where I would leave the cup in the truck and then go out and still come back maybe by 8:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. in the coffee is still piping hot. The build quality and even the lid quality is outstanding. This thing is taking tumbles this thing is taking Knox against doors and in a cars and out of cars. I've dropped this thing a couple times. It's held up very well. The feels good so coffee or tea doesn't get out. Very easy to clean I just throw it in my dishwasher. The handle is very good and easy to hold. I highly recommend this cup. I will say that it doesn't hold as much as like a Stanley but if you're drinking a Stanley size cup of coffee I think you might want to get something stronger. Read more

I like the size and value, but it leaks. They all seem to leak. Read more

Great size, not too big, not too small. Love the blue color, easily fits in any car drink holder. Leak proof, easy to clean and the cork handle is very comfortable. Wasn’t sure how the cork hold up with washing but it has held up nicely. Keeps coffee warm, but I always add hot water to my mugs before I fill with coffee anyway. The slide opening on the lid is easy to clean and comfortable to drink. I would definitely recommend this product. Read more
