This is the third Thermos travel mug of this type that I've owned over a period of time approaching two decades, and the fact that I continue to use one speaks volumes about my satisfaction with its design and performance. These mugs used to be available at a local department store but are no longer sold there so mail order is my only option for obtaining one—either that or finding another local store that carries them, and frankly that is more trouble than it's worth when they are readily available on Amazon.
This mug keeps my coffee hot for several hours and drinkably warm for several more. I can always tell without having to look at it whether the lid is open or closed by running my index finger through the slot opposite the side I'm drinking from to determine the position of the locking lever, something that is especially helpful in the dark or when I'm driving. Another thing I like about the mug is the tapered bottom, which allows it to fit into smaller cupholders like those in my trusty 19 year old G35 coupe.
The little care and use pamphlet found inside a new mug states that while it is nominally top rack dishwasher safe, hand washing is preferable. It also advises that liquids should not be allowed to remain in the mug for more than 24 hours and that the mug should be thoroughly dried after rinsing or cleaning. My experience is that the longevity of your mug will be greatly enhanced if you follow these recommendations.
Because I drink my coffee black I have no problem with bacterial growth in the lid caused by traces of dairy or non-dairy milk/cream lingering in the crevices of the cover, and all I usually do to clean the lid is to rinse it under hot tap water. Every once in a while I do dismantle it to give it a thorough hand cleaning and as I have always been the Mr. Fix-it type—starting at the age of four when I drove my father crazy by taking apart flashlights to investigate how they worked—I actually enjoy doing this. (Unlike the flashlights I dismantled in my youth, I always put the lid back together again.)
For those who complain about the lid retaining water after rinsing it or running it through the dishwasher, I have found that leaving the lid in the open position and turning it upside down while/after cleaning allows virtually all of the retained water to drain and evaporate.
When new I have found that the lid's seal is tight as a drum, and as the mug gets older and the seals inevitably deteriorate I can handle a small dribble of coffee escaping from the lid if I knock it over. The only reason I bought a new one is because after years of use the dribbling has become a bit more problematic of late and because my old one is battered from having been dropped too often in workplace parking lots, something that is no longer a problem for me since I am five years retired. :o)

My original cup served me flawlessly for 10 years, this looks just as sturdy
I like this cup so much that when my 10-year-old vessel was stolen yesterday (from a church, no less) I immediately ordered the exact same model. It arrived today and it looks like nothing has changed in its design and construction, so, if I can keep it away from thieves, I look forward to a long, satisfying relationship. I use it exclusively for hot coffee, and it works very well — the principles of insulation being what they are, I'd expect it to perform equal service for cold drinks.My one disappointment is that Thermos has eliminated the hard, bright red finish (see photo, taken from the present listing) and substituted a softer, brick-red coating. I suspect, but haven't confirmed, that the new coating will peel off during use, which will solve that problem, albeit leaving me with a stainless steel tumbler. I still give it 5 stars based on past performance.
