CamelBak Hot Cap Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug

Good day everyone. I bought this bottle for my wife....because she would not close the lids or caps of other bottles that we had, yeti, hydroflask, and other brands. It was getting to the point of frustrating boiling point anger (internally) but gentle correction (outwardly) regarding spills and cleaning up the coffee stains and crumbs in the cup holder areas. If you're married, some of you might know what I mean.😅The cap is well design in the ease of use. All you do is twist the cap to close and open. But there is one possible issue with it, the cap doesn't exactly lock when you close it. If you keep turning the unique cap design, it doesn't stop to let you know that it is completely closed. It reopens if you keep turning, so you have to be mindful when twisting it to close. I think it was intentionally designed this was for ease of use and also so people won't break the cap by twisting too hard. It can be counter intuitive but it works.I would also suggest buying a rubber bottom for it since it doesn't come with one. I wish that it did so you can put it anywhere to soften the impact and prevent scratches or dents to the bottom of the bottle.It fits in most car cup holders.It's not too thin but not as solid as other bottles made of thicker stainless steel or double insulation designs. Because of that I don't think it keeps liquids hot or cold as long as other bottles, but to be fair to camelbak, I did not do a test on it since it is for the wife and it seems that it holds the temperature well enough for her to not notice the drop or rise in temperatures.I'm glad this bottle works for her as it has lessen the amount of spills and clean up that I have had to do. It's designed for her liking and she usually doesn't like a lot of the items that I buy for her. LolAs long as she doesn't spill as much or at all, I'm pretty happy about it. We tend to drive each other's cars from time to time so it was pretty frustrating when I got into either vehicle and finding spills and stains that I have to clean right when I'm supposed to leave for work, errands or hanging out with the boys.So, in closing, if your wife or husband have a tendency to half close their bottle or not at all because it's too hard to snap it to close or whatever your spouse's reasoning for not closing their bottle is, give this bottle a try. It might work for you like it did for me.Have a blessed day.

Love it! Especially the unique lid!

But, to be fair, it looks like the cap on a Yeti is just as annoying. The gasket on the inner part rolls right off for cleaning, I can get the larger gasket off with a very thin butter knife while being super careful not to cut or scratch, but the smaller part has this awful pit that you'd need something cone-shaped (like those bottle brush kits come with or a straw brush, but those might scratch) and the larger part where the gasket goes is so deep (could use the same brush or something stiffer). A dishwasher might have luck, but I can't vouch for it. It doesn't take long, it's just annoying. I cannot vouch for the gaskets holding onto smells, I only drink unsweetened black coffee and tea from this and clean the gaskets every day.The cup itself is a breeze, sturdy, doesn't retain flavors or smells, keeps my drink hot (when pre-heated and filled to the top) for about six hours (longest I've kept it), less if I make an 8oz drink. I normally only need it for five and it's too hot to drink through the lid by then, so I remove it (easier to enjoy that way anyway). With the way I prefer to drink my coffee, I might just get another of the carry caps, I got the bottle for the size (but that has the one deep-seated gasket as well as most wide-mouth bottles do). For cleaning the bottle you might need a bottle brush, but I get by just fine using the aforementioned butter knife and a sponge.

I bought this 12 oz specifically to fit a standard bicycle water bottle cage (I have the Silca titanium cages and it fits perfectly). Mainly because I didn’t like throwing away coffee cups when I was on shorter rides where I didn’t need two water bottles. It has rapidly become my favorite coffee travel cup. I’ve had all of them (Yeti, Fellow, Contigo, zojirushi, miir, klean kanteen, etc…) and while many are excellent this one is universally the best. It fits in nearly all car cup holders. The cap can be screwed down for absolutely no leaks. The cap doesn’t slosh, or flow too fast. And it is super simple to take apart for easy cleaning. No nooks and crannies to collect coffee stains, no small parts to lose. A+ design!You should just get it!

Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is it arrived dented, but since we were headed out camping we didn’t return. The insulation is great and keeps my coffee hot for hours, the lid seals perfectly and NEVER leaks things a great product for sure

This is a fantastic travel mug! I’ve been using it daily for about a year. Keeps my coffee hot, doesn’t spill, and is durable.

My favorite travel coffee mug so far. Very nicely designed. Easy to drink from. Keeps the drink warm.Most importantly: properly leak proof, and 360° drinking option. I just hate cups that jet boiling coffee straight into your mouth at high speed; 360° cups solve that. But there aren’t many on the market. I had two of the Bodum ones, which were ok but bigger and clunkier, and they started wearing out and not sealing as well.Appearance and feel in hand is top drawer, with the powder coated aluminum. Shape is lovely, and I can put it in my (men’s) jeans pocket so I have my hands free for kids etc. Pleasant color.I will be learning from the past and only hand washing to avoid funky dishwasher smells, not sure if this cup is any different to others on that account.If it breaks for some reason, I will order another the same day.

This is the travel mug I always dreamed of. It’s ACTUALLY leak proof, so I can throw it in my backpack completely upside down without worry. But that doesn’t come at the expense of convenience, I can still take quick sips on the go without having to remove the entire lid like most of the competing mugs. Keeps coffee hot for a long time, and the 12 oz is the perfect size to bring everywhere. It can literally fit in my jacket pocket when I walk my dog in the morning (without fear of leaking). Love it.
