 Almost Perfect December 2, 2008

I actually spent about an hour researching my coffee travel mug purchase. I had four criteria that were must-haves:
1. It had to be a mug that I could drink directly from... not a thermos with a separate cup for instance.
2. Stainless steel interior: I found that my current plastic cup was retaining too much sour milk odor even thought I rinsed it out after use. Also although the chance is slim, metal is less likely to leach dangerous chemicals than plastic.
3. Sealed: as in throw it in my bag and not worry what orientation it is in...upside down.... whatever.
4. 16 oz: or more... many travel mugs are 12 oz and that is just too small
This item that you are looking at on this very Amazon detail page indeed meets all the criteria above. It is surprisingly one of few that do.
Once I bought this, I found some other advantages that I liked about it:
- The thermal insulation is superb. Hot liquids stay hot seemingly forever. (it's actually a minor problem if you start out too hot as it takes forever to cool to sipping temperature :-), but removing the lid helps out there)
- 360 degree drink lid: This lets you drink from anywhere around the rim of the cup, but more importantly the design is such that it closely approaches drinking from a normal (un-lidded) cup. So no dribbly holes to drink from and no uneven dispensing due to trapped air.
- easy to clean lid: There are no hidden channels in lid where liquid might get trapped. This apparently si a problem with Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug
- It has a handle: not something I needed, but it is actually handy for hanging it from your belt when you need both hands free
The Thermos E5 has lived up to my expectations, and meets my coffee travel cup needs. However it does have a couple of drawbacks, and for these I will deduct 1 star (I would deduct only 1/2 star if that where possible):
- Narrow opening: When the lid is completely removed, the opening is rather narrow. This not only makes cleaning (that is scrubbing rather than rinsing) difficult, but is sure to confound that barista you order that complex coffee drink from.
- Wide bottom: OK, this is great for stability, but it prevents it from fitting in most cup holders. I know it was not designed for this, but it is something I would ideally like to have.
- Open/Close mechanism requires 2 hands. Since it essentially twists on/off like a cap, it cannot be operated 1-handed like a "pop open" type mechanism
- Open/Close mechanism may fall off if open to wide. I have not yet had this happen, but it is potentially possible that if you twist it open you may go too far and the top will come off completely while you are drinking
 The BEST Mug, EVER!!!! October 15, 2008

I was looking for another mug (it looked cool!) but couldn't find the vacumn version of it. I got lucky and came across this one instead and couldn't be happier with that turn of events!!! It keeps my coffee hot for hours (provided I remember to reseal the lid if I'm going to be away from it for a while), and is very sturdy (as my dropping it a few times can attest). I now have a 2nd for home use and bought my brother-in-law one. He loves his also!!!
A great mug August 20, 2008

Have had the first mug they made for the last 30 years. Thought I would replace it and am very happy with the new one. It should out last me if it's anything like the old one.
Great Pruduct!! August 11, 2008

I had been through numerous travel mugs for keeping my coffee hot while on my long drive to work. The thermos E5 has all of the features anyone is looking for, and the performance is well worth the price. My coffee stays hot well past the 6 hours is promotes. The thing is nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe (This is huge), and even comes with a carabiner to hold it securely onto a backpack or travel case. Do not fret the higher cost. This will be the last travel mug you buy!!

I've ordered it twice--I keep getting the food jar instead-amazon says they can't check the stock and to keep ordering it and if it is the wrong item return it-I gave up and bought it on ebay!
