The Stanley cup is certainly having its moment, but there are arguments to be made in favor of a number of travel mugs and cups. Whether you want to keep hot drinks hot, cold ones cold, or just have something eco-friendly and convenient (and big) to haul around your beverages, give these a shot.
Best travel mugs
First, let's look at some travel mugs that keep hot drinks nice and hot.
-
The Nextmug temperature-controlled mug ($99.94) is a techy twist on the standard travel mug because it's self-heating. Unlike others on the list, it's not necessarily designed to be to-go, as there's no lid, but it's a perfect companion for the office or, depending on your confidence in your driving ability, the car.
-
If you're more traditional, get the OG: A two pack of Thermos travel tumblers is just $20.98. If you regularly forget to wash out your mugs and cups, having a spare on hand is gold. Otherwise, designate one for the office and one for the house, the commute, or whatever else.
-
Amazon ratings and reviews can be tricky to trust, but when something has over 12,000 positive ones, it's a good sign. The Aloufea 12-ounce insulated coffee mug ($10.45) is a standard-sized mug with a tight-sealing lid and reviewers praise it for truly keeping the temp of their drinks up.
The best travel cups
These cups work for both hot and cold drinks, so you can't go wrong by picking one up.

First up, we have to honor the Stanley, the almost-too-viral brand of travel tumblers that you see everywhere. Why do you see them everywhere? Because they work. The classic Quencher comes with a lid and straw, keeps your beverages at their temperature, and comes in sizes ranging from 14 ounces to 64, so you can drink as much as you want. Plus, you'll look trendy carrying it, if you're into that sort of thing.
-
Lifehacker managing editor Meghan Walbert recommends the Contigo West Loop stainless steel travel mug ($20.54), but she's not alone: Reviewers rave about its auto-seal lid that closes when you're not pressing a button to keep it open, its ergonomic design, and the fact that it "never" spills.
-
I am a Yeti girl. I love the Rambler ($35) because it's easy to hold, keeps my drinks the temp I want them, and comes in a bunch of colors and designs. It's not big or flashy (and it doesn't have a straw) but it gets the job done and is super easy to clean because the mouth is wide enough to stick your hand in and there are no tricky crevices inside.
-
Stanley culture (and travel-cup culture more broadly) has major roots in Utah, where aesthetics-obsessed momfluencers rule and locals have a thing for constantly chugging flavored Diet Coke. Obviously, I asked a Utahan friend what travel cup they opt for when leaving the house. The answer is, of course, a Stanley, but the runner-up is an Owala. The FreeSip (27.99) gives you the option to use a built-in straw or swig directly from the spout opening, plus the double-wall insulation can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours. (Thanks, Ammon!)
