Product Guide: Travel Mugs and Travel Bottles

December 17, 2014

If you have a busy lifestyle or travel a lot, you understand the importance of a well-built travel mug. Spilled coffee is the last thing you want to worry about when on the go. There’s a lot of cheap-o coffee vessels out there with leaky lids, thin walls and plastic interiors that aren’t suitable for hot beverages. All the travel mugs we carry, are durable, easy to clean and have a variety of capacities. They may be a little more expensive in comparison to what you will find in the kitchen section at your local department store but we promise that they will last for a long time and keep your coffee hot for a long time.

We also stay away from offering mugs with complicated springs, levers and tight crevices. Mechanized flip tops and fancy lids are cool but after a few months, tend to develop goop and residue that is very hard to clean, even in a dishwasher.

Nissan Backpack Bottle

This is the newest addition to our line of travel bottles. It’s about as minimal as you can get…twist the cap a bit to open…twist it back to close.The cap is sealed with one removable gasket and the mechanism (and bottle are very easy to clean).
