Comments about REI Recycled Tumbler - 16 fl. oz.:
I had a very dear travel mug i've had for years, but it was made from PC (likely had BPA). So i was looking for a great replacement, & after much searching (i'm picky) this was it, i was looking for a PP one (i looked all all the other plastic types & decided PP would be a good choice). I have to say i'm very happy w/ my choice, the flip lid is what i had on my older travel mug & loved it as it was durable & reliable & never leaked on me. The lid construction is similar screw type w/ o-ring at top, which creates a very good reliable seal. I'm also happy to find that this is mfg'd by aladdin, the very famous thermos maker too, so i feel comfortable in its design & build quality. It is a bit big for some car cup holders, & the 16oz one, though my choice compared to the 12oz version, is also quite tall for when it sits in my cup holder in my Saturn. For those other reviewer that use theirs in the microwave, it clear states on the bottom of the product (molded in) 'Do Not Microwave', so please, don't. I love its simple design lines, it is easy to clean & will be durable over time, ones w/ rubber grip zones, just have little nooks for dirt & grime to hide, this is very clean lined & i really appreciate it. I do wish the inner diameter were a bit larger to get my hand in to clean the bottom, but there are brushes for that. Also i gave it a 4/5 as i feel there are very very few 'perfect' items, but i'm just a hard grader, i would just want to convey that this is an excellent mug that i'm very happy with & i think many people would be too.

I bought this because I wanted a travel mug that would fit in a bike bottle cage during my morning commute. It does -- barely, as it is a little larger than a standard water bottle. Disappointed in thermal performance as it won't keep anything warm more than 30 min (as described). Cover and flap fit securely and it did not leak. However, it was a mess to use as it always dribbled down the side when sipping or pouring, reflecting poor design of the lip edge.

Why I really like these mugs: this mug has been knocked over many times at work and not leaked once. Your drink can be reheated in the microwave (not small ones, the mug is tall). Has been through the dishwasher many times, even in the bottom rack. So it's not the most beautiful mug I've ever owned -- it is very functional. Take heed of the complaints of others though, it will not hold heat for very long, so if you are using it away from a microwave, or prefer not to nuke, your drink will cool off fairly quickly. Also, it does hold odors, particularly from coffee. I only wish it would come in more colors!

I often use this either while traveling or at work. Its nice because it looks great and is comfortable in the hands and if outside in the cold the heat kinda warms your hands. the down side is that is does not hold the heat very well so if your a slow coffee drinker like I am your coffee will get cold and im not sure if you can microwave this product.

My wife and I each purchased one of these. For the most part, we're fond of them. I use mine at work daily, and... well... actually, I'm not sure how often my wife uses hers.
These cups keep their contents warm for quite a while. I've even been able to put hot chocolate mix in and--with the lid screwed on tightly and the flip tab closed--shake it without spilling or having anything dribble out.
I'm also really a fan of REI's recent graphics trend... I love the ground-and-trees graphic.
But I guess it's because I'm fond of the graphic that I'm so disappointed in the poor image quality. I have only ever hand-washed these cups, never used a dishwasher, but the water breaks down the black (ink?) that's used to print the graphics on the outside. As a result, it flakes off and even smears. Also, when the contents of the cup are hot, it feels as though the black printing gets sticky or tacky. I really try not to even touch it, but you can see the results--and it's only seen a few weeks of use. My wife's cup is showing the same issue, though since I think she uses it a lot less, the graphics aren't as noticeably faded.
Additionally, I've noticed the tendency for the cup to absorb the odors of its contents. Maybe this is just because it's plastic and not ceramic or metal--I've never had a plastic cup like this. But hot water and dish soap don't get rid of it. I've only been using the cup for hot green tea and cold water for the past week, but it still smells like coffee from the week before. (Well, that and now green tea, too.)
Sure, it's just a cup. And though I'll continue using it until it doesn't do me any good anymore, I still can't help but be disappointed.

This is a great mug for a very reasonable price. Keeps my coffee warm long enough, perfect size. My only gripe is that it doesn't fit under a Keurig, even with the base removed, I have to hold it under there at an angle. I didn't take off any stars for that though. But with Keurig coffee makers being so popular, it seems like a bit of an oversight.

I only own one travel mug, and i reuse it daily until i lose it or it otherwise becomes unusable. I've had this REI mug for months and will go out of my way to retrieve it if I've left it somewhere.
The twist top and snap spout help me toss it in my bag with some coffee still inside without worrying about it spilling. The mug keeps my beverages warm for over an hour in the car, more than enough time to enjoy them.
In short, this one's a keeper.

Comments about REI Recycled Tumbler - 16 fl. oz.:
I was looking for a travel mug that would hold a substantial amount of liquid, not leak, keep my liquid hot for a reasonable amount of time, not burn my hands and with a lid with a "lip" on it so that I wouldn't burn my mouth when drinking hot liquids. This mug covers all my requirements. AND it is made from recycled materials. My husband likes it so much that I am ordering another one for him. I should probably order another one for me just in case I lose this one.

Use this thing to carry with me to school everyday on the train and around campus. I needed something light that would fit into me bag and NOT SPILL! This mug did that for me. It kept the coffee warm but doesn't hold up as long as some of the bulkier ones but I don't mind my coffee just warm. Works fine in the microwave and in the dishwasher going to get another one in case I loose this one.
