My experience of travel mugs has been mixed, but usually include some or all of: gets too hot to hold; doesn’t keep the contents hot; taints the tea/coffee - often with a metallic taste; doesn’t fit in the car cup holder; is slippery to hold; leaks; is awkward to drink from when the lid is on; is difficult to clean - especially the lid; etc. The Iglu has avoided all these pitfalls (at least on the 450ml / 16oz version I own). It’s a great size and tapers from top to bottom, which when combined with the surface coating, makes it both very easy to hold and the right size to fit in my car drinks holder. My tea (or coffee) stays hot during my 1hr commute - with the lid closed, too hot for me to drink! It’s the only travel mug I’ve ever owned that I find comfortable to drink from with the lid on - and just as nice to drink from with the lid off (I use this all day in the office with the lid off as it has a great capacity and even with the lid off, the contents stay at a good temperature). I can’t vouch that this will keep a hot drink hot for 12 hours: I bought this to take a drink with me on the train or in my car. In both these situations it actually keeps the drink too hot for me to drink easily during my commute. In the morning I now make my Iglu tea when I first get up and leave it to cool with the lid off for about 30 minutes before I leave. It’s still hot, but I can actually drink it during my commute, rather than in the office after taking the lid off to cool it! And so far, it has proven to be leak proof, saving both my car and carpet on a few occasions! Iglu was new to me as a company and I bought the 450ml Iglu mug after doing a lot of product searching on Amazon, based on the reviews I read. And I’m really glad I did. It’s a great travel mug, well designed, well built, and feels, looks and works like premium product. If you’re looking for a new travel mug and you’re considering the Iglu, then just go for it. It’s honestly the best travel mug I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned quite a few). So good in fact, we now have two: one for me (Artic Blue) and one for my wife (Himalayan Pink).

I have really liked using this travel thermos/mug. It looks great, and fits well in my bag. I find it really nice to drink from with the curved lip, and I like the ingenious gadget at the top that lets the liquid out without the need to fully open the lid. Also fine to drink from when the lid is fully removed. It keeps the drink at a high temperature for a long time - so no problems there and no leaks so far. Baristas need to remove the drip tray on their coffee machines to fill it, but no-one has been phased by that yet. So all-in-all a great design. And I love the colour (teal).

After buying other thermal cups for hot drinks i can honestly say this is the best one without a doubt!!! I travel from Essex to London every week and needed a reliable cup for a hot drinks that doesn't spill and this IGLU cup is it!!! I can leave it in my tote bag and not have to worry about spillage or my hot drinks turning cold. I forgot to take ot with me one day and when I came back 4 hours later it was still hot!!! Excellent product!

I absolutely recommend getting this! I wanted it specifically to keep my commute coffee hot well into the morning and it does that for a good 3hrs at most for me. It’s stylish and easy to hold. The insulation is brilliant. It is leakproof, the key is to make sure the straw hole bit is open before putting the lid back on once you have filled it with a hot drink. This is to let out some of the steam and makes it easier to close. When the lid is secure, close the hole/valve, then you can open the latch and drink as normal. My only issue is it can be a bit tricky to drink from, the flow is not as steady. Although if the drink is piping hot, you have more control. Strong fragrant drinks tend to latch on to the lid, but can be removed by soaking in a bit of water and white vinegar.

I use this mug for work. It keeps my drink hot for hours and the best thing about it is it's completely leak proof.

I recently bought this coffee travel mug and had a bit of a rocky start. On my first attempt using it, the liquid leaked out, which was quite disappointing. However, I received a follow-up email with clear instructions on how to properly seal the lid, which resolved the issue completely. Since then, this mug has been fantastic. The quality is top-notch, it's incredibly easy to clean, and it looks great too. The design is sleek and fits perfectly in my hand. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish travel mug!

Looks great, no leaks, very good quality. Worth the price in my opinion.

So, heat retention seems good so far, but what's really annoying and a bit of a let down for me is the bell bottom shape. They bill this as a benefit to make it more comfortable, but I have tiny child sized hands and it's not at all comfortable or easy to hold because of the larger rounded base. This shape also means it doesn't fit into any of my car cup holders. The lid is a push on pull off, instead of a screw fitting. This means that the hot liquid pops the lid off if you don't leave one of the lid holes open to cool the liquid down. Since I fill the cup then put it into my bag to travel with it, this kind of defeats the object of having a leak resistant travel mug. A screw lid would have been a far better design; all the travel mug iv used have had a screw lid. Also, the small hole on the lid, looks like a straw hole, has a folded piece of rubber to stopper the hole. The fold looks like its going to weaken and eventually tear. A small unfolded stopper would have made more sense. The plastic lid lip to remove the lid is clearly not going to last long ; it takes some force to lift the lid off via this lip and not only is that actually quite difficult, the force required is clearly going to snap the tiny plastic lip. When I drink from the mug with the lid on, liquid is now dripping from the lid over me upon tipping the cup to drink. Its not the best design in my opinion, and is the worst travel mug I have bought so far (and iv owned many over the years). I wish I'd bought a different one.
