If your day regularly starts with a stop at your favorite coffee shop, then there’s a good chance you could be saving money — and cutting down on waste — by bringing your own mug.
Many coffee shops offer discounts to patrons who provide their own reusable mugs.
Plus, using your own mug can reduce waste and help keep your beverage hot or cold longer than the typical to-go cup.
Whether you purchase coffee from a store, brew it at home and take it on the go, or simply want to keep your beverage hot (or cold) longer at home, a reusable coffee mug is a worthwhile investment.

There are many benefits to choosing a reusable coffee mug over a disposable one.
For example, many travel mugs are designed to maintain the temperature of your coffee or other beverage, whether hot or cold, for longer periods of time, so there’s no need to reheat.
Additionally, they eliminate the waste created by using a paper or plastic to-go cup. Some coffee shops will even offer a discount to customers who bring their own cups, so you may save some money.
What’s more, recent research has found that some traditional paper cups contain materials that release toxic heavy metals when in contact with hot liquids over a period of time. A reusable mug could help decrease your exposure to these (

Easiest to clean
YETI Rambler
- Price: $–$$
- Dishwasher-safe: yes
- Volume: 10, 20, or 30 ounces (oz) (296, 592, or 887 milliliters [mL])
If washing your coffee mug by hand every day sounds like a chore, the YETI Rambler may be a good option for you because it’s completely dishwasher-safe. It’s also highly recommended by several of Healthline’s editors.
The slider lid is magnetic, making the tumbler easy to drink from on the go. However, the lid will not prevent leaks or spills.
The YETI Rambler is also customizable — you can add text, monograms, and even images to your cup.
What our tester says
“I like using it most when I have a string of work meetings back to back, if I’m traveling, or otherwise want to be able to keep my drink warm (or chilled) for a while.”
— Healthline Editor Candice Abellon
Pros
- dishwasher-safe
- available in multiple colors and sizes
- customizable
- fits in most cupholders
- magnetic slider for easy drinking on the go
- double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks hot or cold for hours
- includes a 5-year warranty
Cons
- does not protect against leaks or spills
Best ceramic
W&P Porter Ceramic Mug
- Price: $$
- Dishwasher-safe: yes
- Volume: 12 oz (355 mL) or 16 oz (473 mL)
The W&P Porter Ceramic Mug is dishwasher-safe and made from durable ceramic that allows for a neutral flavor.
This means it won’t absorb flavors from your drinks, and you won’t notice any lingering tastes or smells from previous beverages.
The mug is protected from scratches by a soft matte silicone sleeve, which also allows for that warm cup feeling in your hands. However, because of this, the mug is not designed to keep your drink hot for any longer than a regular mug.
What our tester says
“I enjoy this mug for tea and, compared to other mugs I’ve tried, it feels the most like a mug, not like a travel cup.”
— Healthline Senior Editor Lisa Valente, MS, RD
Pros
- available in multiple colors and two sizes
- microwave- and dishwasher-safe
- fits in most cupholders

- Price: $–$$
- Dishwasher-safe: lid only
- Volume: 10 oz (296 mL), 20 oz (592 mL), or 24 oz (710 mL)
Healthline Nutrition and Fitness Market Editor Kelli McGrane, MS, RD, is a fan of the Contigo Autoseal mug because she can trust it not to leak.
It’s designed to keep drinks hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 18 hours.
McGrane says that while the mug won’t leak or spill if dropped, it does dent easily.
The body of the mug isn’t dishwasher-friendly, but you can throw the lid in the dishwasher to help make keeping it clean a bit easier.
What our tester says
“Not only is it slim enough to fit almost any cup holder — including my stroller’s cupholder, which isn’t easy to do — I appreciate that it keeps my coffee hot for several hours and doesn’t leak. From bumpy walks with my stroller to throwing it in my bag on a hike, I’ve yet to have an issue with coffee getting all over my stuff.”
— Healthline Nutrition and Fitness Market Editor Kelli McGrane, MS, RD
Pros

Best for camping
YETI Rambler Mug
- Price: $$
- Dishwasher-safe: yes
- Volume: 10 oz (296 mL), 14 oz (414 mL), or 24 oz (710 mL)
Ideal for camping or just for cozier vibes, the YETI Rambler Mug comes in a more traditional coffee mug shape with a handle and a wider mouth.
Like YETI’s larger models, it features a double-wall, vacuum-insulated design to keep drinks hot or cold longer.
According to the brand’s website, it also works well as a bowl for keeping foods like chili and oatmeal hot when you’re camping.
Just like the bigger models of the Rambler, this one has a magnetic slider lid, but keep in mind that the lid won’t prevent leaks or spills. Another downside to consider: The handle might make it incompatible with most cupholders.
What our tester says

Best for commuting
Hydro Flask Coffee Flask with Flex Sip Lid
- Price: $$
- Dishwasher-safe: top rack only
- Volume: 12 oz (355 mL), 16 oz (473 mL), or 20 oz (591 mL)
If you typically drink your morning coffee on your way to the office, you’re likely looking for a mug that will fit in your cupholder and won’t leak.
This Hydro Flask mug is designed to fit most cupholders and even side pockets on backpacks and other bags. It also has a convenient flex strap at the top, which makes it easy to grab and go as you’re heading out the door.
This travel mug is compatible with Hydro Flask’s straw lid if you prefer, but to take advantage of the leakproof feature, you’ll want to stick with the Flex Sip Lid.
It’s also dishwasher-safe, so it’s super easy to clean — just make sure you put it on the top rack.
What our tester says
“I love this mug, as it keeps coffee hot for a long time and it doesn’t leak — a feature I particularly loved when I was commuting to work every day. You don’t have to worry about throwing it in your bag and having it get all over everything.”
— Healthline Senior Editor Chelsea Logan

- top rack dishwasher-safe
- leakproof lid
- smooth flow opening designed for hot liquids
- flex strap for easy transport

The BruMate Toddy combines the convenience of a travel mug that fits in your cupholder with the comfort of a handle.
It’s also completely leakproof and insulated to keep hot drinks hot for up to 7 hours and cold drinks cold for 24 hours or longer.
Another perk: You won’t have to deal with condensation when sipping on something cold. This means the cup will stay dry no matter how long you take to enjoy your drink.
However, while this cup won’t leak on you, some say the lid can be difficult to remove.

- Dishwasher-safe: yes
- Volume: 12 oz (355 mL), 16 oz (473 mL), 20 oz (591 mL), or 30 oz (887 mL)
An insulated mug is a good choice if you like to take your time finishing your drink. This tumbler is vacuum-insulated and designed to keep your drink hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 14 hours.
It’s also spill-resistant and will fit in most cupholders, so it’s a great option for when you’re on the run. What’s more, you can toss it in the dishwasher when you’re done, making cleaning a breeze.

- Price: $$

While several cups on our list will keep your iced coffee cold, this one has a unique splash guard feature that will allow you to drink or pour your coffee without the ice falling out with it.
The cup has a ceramic interior coating, which prevents lingering flavors and smells from past beverages. It also has a double-wall vacuum-insulated design to keep drinks hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours.

Best splurge
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
- Price: $$$
- Dishwasher-safe: no
- Volume: 10 oz (296 mL) or 14 oz (414 mL)
If you find yourself regularly reheating your coffee and prefer the style of a traditional coffee mug, then the Ember mug may be worth the splurge.
This smart mug comes with a heated coaster that connects to an app on your phone, allowing you to customize your drink’s temperature and control the heat of the coaster. However, the mug is also functional without the app and will default to the last set temperature.
Depending on which size you choose, the coaster has an 80- or 90-minute battery life to keep your drink hot. It can also be plugged in and charged to keep your coffee heated longer.
For safety purposes, the auto-sleep feature turns the heat off automatically after 2 hours of inactivity, but the mug will wake back up when it senses liquid or movement.
Because it does not have a lid, the mug does not work for taking your coffee on the go. However, it’s a great option for tech-minded individuals looking to perfectly control the temperature of their coffee at home or at the office.
Pros
- available in four colors and two sizes
- allows you to control the temperature of your coffee
- can be plugged in for longer heating
- includes safety features

This vacuum-insulated tumbler is designed to keep drinks hot for 3 hours or cold for 9 hours, and it has a comfortable handle.
Keep in mind that while the silicone lid is designed to minimize leaks, it does not close, so it’s not fully spill- or leakproof.
The mug is not dishwasher-safe and will need to be handwashed, but at such an affordable price, it may be worth the extra effort.

- vacuum-insulated to help keep drinks hot for up to 3 hours or cold for up to 9 hours

If you’ve shopped for a travel mug, then you know just how many options there are. To help narrow your search, here are some key factors to keep in mind:
- Cost: You’ll want to choose a mug that fits your budget, but also remember that you’ll be saving money by reusing this mug over time.
- Leak- or spill-proof: If you plan on tossing your mug in a bag or keeping it in a cupholder during a shaky stroller walk, look for one that is spill-proof. If you prefer to drink your coffee in the car, while camping, or from home or the office, then this feature may not be as important.
- Insulation: Consider how long you’d like your drink to maintain its temperature. Some cups are better insulated than others and can maintain temperatures longer.
- Material: Some materials are better than others at preventing lingering flavors or smells. Especially if you plan on using your mug for multiple beverage types, you’ll want to consider options like the W&P Porter Ceramic Mug and the MiiR TruEnamel Camp Cup.
- Size: The size you choose will depend on not only the volume you’d like for your drink but also whether you need a mug that fits in a cupholder or the side pocket of a backpack.
- Dishwasher compatibility: Many reusable mugs need to be washed by hand, but some are dishwasher-safe for easier cleaning.
- Style preferences: Travel mugs come in a variety of colors, shapes, and styles. Since you’ll be using it regularly, look for one that matches your style.
- Other features: Travel mugs vary greatly in the features they offer. For example, the Fellow Carter Move Travel Mug has a splash guard for iced drinks, and the Hydro Flask Coffee Flask with Flex Sip Lid features a flex strap for easy transport.
Below are some of the commonly asked questions about reusable coffee mugs.
What is a really good travel mug?
While our list includes quite a few really good travel mugs, we think the Contigo Autoseal West Loop Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug and the Hydro Flask Coffee Flask with Flex Sip Lid are two of the best choices because of their cupholder-friendly sizes and leakproof features.
The Hydro Flask mug is also dishwasher-safe, so it’s super easy to clean.
Which travel mug stays hot longest?
According to the companies’ websites, the Simple Modern Insulated Tumbler Cup and the Fellow Carter Move Travel Mug will keep drinks hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours, though results may vary.
Many other products on this list suggest that they can keep drinks hot for 7 hours or longer.
Is there a better mug than YETI?
YETI offers several products with great features and positive customer reviews. However, depending on your needs and preferences, there may be a better mug for you.
For example, while the YETI products on our list come recommended because they are dishwasher-safe and keep drinks hot or cold over a period of time, they are not leak- or spill-proof.
Reusable coffee mugs are a great alternative to the traditional paper cups offered at most coffee shops.
In addition to sustainability, they offer perks such as the ability to maintain your drink’s temperature for longer periods.
Be sure to consider what specific features are important to you, as well as factors like cost and the size of the cup, before deciding which product is best.
