Carter Travel Mug 355 ml - Ceramic-Lined, Leak-Proof, Matte Black

It’s perfect. Honestly one of my new favourite possessions. Good size, ceramic lined (doesn’t stain or affect the taste of my coffee), easy to wash, holds temperature pretty well, leak proof enough for my purposes (mainly commuting) and extremely well designed for drinking from.

I was looking for a small, modestly sized thermos style mug that was *actually* leak proof to take inside my bag on the way to work. This criteria is apparently not easy to find, and I was fairly hesitant with spending this much on something that I'd spent half as much on for twice the size before. Having not found anything else that matched all my criteria (not small enough, or not actually leak proof), I pulled the trigger on one of these. Although it is just a mug, I've been fairly blown away by how good it is. It's small and fits in bags much easier than most thermos mugs which tend to be tall and skinny. It is *actually* leak proof, the lid screws down tight, and you're not relying on a little silicone stopper jammed into a spout, to stop your entire coffee from filling the inside of your bag, like alot of other options at this size. You can quite confidently chuck it into your bag and not worry if it spins upside down. It keeps drinks nice and warm, or cold, for as long as most people would reasonably need. The ceramic inside also holds less of the stale coffee smell that gets into all thermos mugs, although, it does still happen. Cleaning is also much easier than other mugs. There aren't any moving parts or straws that are hard to clean, and the opening is wide so you can get your hand and a sponge in quite easily. It also looks great. The texture makes the external feel hard wearing and grippy in the hand. I'd definitely say that this is worth the extra money over other travel coffee mugs. Alot of 'brand names' sell products with premium price tags without offering anything unique or premium for the price, but that definitely isn't the case here.

Best mug I’ve had that’s insulated. Only used it for hot drinks but keeps them warm for a very long time, looks nice and good materials used. Great product would recommend. And the leak proof seal does work, but needs to heat up from the hot drinks and then works. Otherwise it does drip slightly.

I love the general design, as I hate those sippy cups with a tiny hole to drink from, that always burns my mouth. The rim is comfortable when drinking from the cup. The cup also doesn’t need to be obsessively washed. I’ve had mine for about two months now, I usually rinse it with boiling hot water and Ive washed it with dish soap maybe 2-3 times, as I almost only carry coffee in it. The coffee oils preserve the inside of the bottle so no need to preserve it with dish soap after every use ;) . It keeps the coffee warm for long but not like a whole day. More like about 4-5 hours. Still good enough, and better than most coffee cups on the market. Will see how long it will endure but I do use mine almost every day and it’s looking very good! I have the white cup and there’s not discoloration that I would notice or consider as ruining to the whole design. Overall, very happy with the purchase! I think Ill also add that I don’t use any milk in my coffee so if you do I’m guessing the washing process might be different because of how milk’s properties might have a different impact on the bottle’s inside.

This mug is well designed. It keeps my drinks hot for hours and the taste is not tanted. I love the fact that it is ceramic and so easy to clean. It does not stain which means that you always get the proper taste of your drinks. It does not leak.

This is such a great commuter coffee cup or fantastic to throw in your bag when going for a long walk. It is completely leak-proof, with a smooth design that fits perfectly and doesn’t have any unnecessary bits that catch on other contents of your bag. I’ve had mine for 3 years and re-purchased as gifts for family and friends. Super easy to clean and doesn’t stain or smell of previous contents, even if coffee has been sitting in it for hours. Great find!

Fantastic quality mug, perfect for my morning Aeropress brew! Pricey for a mug but top quality.

I needed a new coffee mug, that importantly, was spill and leak proof, as I have started to commute on a bike with a backpack so, I needed it to keep itself together. And, so far so good! No spills, and the seal seems to work well. I've seen some reports of others having leaks so, perhaps it's a bit of a lottery. The liner ceramic coat and was honestly a pleasant and welcome surprise. Already had some very positive comments on how it looks as well! I'd recommend giving it a go!

This cup does exactly what I need. I make a black coffee at 7am and when I go to drink it at 1030/11 it’s too hot. I have to leave the lid off for a few minutes. I don’t pre warm the cup as it’s unnecessary. Perfect for bringing a coffee to work. No leaks. Love it.

Ziemlich teuer aber dafür ziemlich gut. Kaffee bleibt lange heiß und der Geschmack bleibt erhalten. Über das Design lässt sich streiten. Wenn mich im Büro jemand fragt was das ist, sage ich „meine tote Katze ist immer mit dabei“. Die Urne passt auch problemlos unter meine Siebträgermaschine, man muss sie beim drunterstellen nur leicht kippen.

Great, keeps drinks hot.

Perfect size, perfect design

Coffee tastes really off when i try to drink from it. Smells like ginger or garlic. I have used it for less than a week. I have been air drying it and hand washing it. Alot of care for nothing.
