Whether you make coffee for yourself at home or pick it up at a coffee shop, a reusable travel mug is more than just a service to the environment: It’s an act of self-care. The best travel mugs keep your coffee piping hot, allowing you to savor it throughout the day, express something of your personal style, and broadcast to the world that you are an environmentally and economically conscientious member of society. I know, a great travel coffee mug really can do all of that.
While a travel coffee mug isn’t necessarily a huge investment, $25 to $45 may seem like a lot to pay for portability and insulation, when the cracked, ceramic mugs you might otherwise drink from at home tend to be cheap vacation souvenirs or a mismatched set of hand-me-downs. To give you confidence in this small but important investment, we tested several of the most popular travel coffee mugs to see which ones keep liquids hot longest, protect against leaks and feel nice to hold — and look at. These are the seven best travel coffee mugs of 2024.
