Review on Contigo 360° Pour Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Thermal Bottle - 25 oz. - Painted Black: Sleek Design and Superior Temperature Retention by Mandy Martin

I've been using Contigo mugs for many years and while they have excellent vacuum insulation that keeps liquids hot or cold for many hours, the sealing mechanisms have always let me down. I've had numerous instances where my tea or coffee (if I drank coffee) was spilled into my pockets while driving. I've tried other brands with better seals but crappy insulation that kept my drinks cold for two or three hours. I returned to Contigo on the recommendation of a colleague and I am very satisfied. This jar is reminiscent of old school thermoses with a twisting cap and a large twisting lid to cover the cap. In three months of ownership it has never been spilled on me or in my pockets, keeps warm or cold for more than 24 hours. As an avid tea drinker, both bagged and bulk, I place my tea bags/leaves in the chute, add hot water and soy or almond milk and seal and my drink stays hot throughout my 10 hour shift or more. This is a great product.
