The Best Reusable Travel Cups For Everything From Coffee to Wine

Unless you’re a fan of ice coffee, no one like their morning brew at room temperature. Since single-use cups are bad for the environment and it’s not practical to take your regular at-home mugs on the go, a reusable travel cup will make sure that your beverage is the perfect temperature, no matter when you made it.

However, not all reusable travel mugs are made equal. Depending on design and materials, some are better for cold drinks while others are perfect for your morning brew. Here’s what to look for in a good reusable travel cup: 

Insulation: Whether it’s glass, plastic, and stainless steel, you need to make sure it’s insulated so it can maintain temperature over time. Also, check how long it’s going to keep beverages hot or cold, as they all differ. 

Lid: Some lids are more spill-proof than others — meaning you can’t just toss them all in your bag and go. That said, most travel cups are made with a lockable lid to keep it all sealed shut. 

Washability: Always check to see if the mug is dishwasher-safe. If it needs to be washed by hand, make sure you can thoroughly clean it with a sponge or purchase a bottle brush.

Plus, most expert coffee-lovers agree that coffee actually tastes better out of ceramic, glass, or stainless steel than paper or plastic. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the best reusable travel cups so you can make the switch.
