KitchenCraft Le'Xpress Insulated Travel Mug, 400 ml (14 fl oz) -Red, Stainless Steel, 8.5 x 7.2 x 20.2 cm

This is an attractive travel mug, of double wall stainless steel construction which insulates the contents. It's quite slimline, so fits comfortably both in my quite small hands and in the cup holders of our car.In testing, it fails the "hold upside down and shoogle" test, and even at an angle, there's leakage from the lid, so it's not great for shoving in a bag - for example, when you need free hands to open a train door. It does also mean there's a little heat loss, but on the whole, drinks stay hot for a couple of hours, and longer if you drink them lukewarm.Surprisingly, the washing instructions are don't use a dishwasher, which surprised me given that it's stainless steel with no visible seams, and the mug loses half a star for that (and half a star for the leaks)

In a world of travel mugs (of which we have quite a few) this stacks up to be 'ok'. If you're looking for something to put a hot drink in for your commute and you won't be sloshing about then it's fine and at the current price good value vs others. The slim design means it will fit cupholders without issue. But this mug leaks too easily and reminds me of a Bodum one I had to return as it leaked. It gets an extra star for being decent value vs the alternatives.

This travel mug can save you a fortune if you buy a lot of takeaway coffee so it's definitely a great idea to have and you can easily slip it into a pocket.The only problem with it is it is a bit leaky. You have to make sure the top is really tight on. I don't entirely trust putting it in a bag without tipping it upside down a few times and even then I try and keep my bag upright at all times. I make sure not to overfill it.This is the only travel mug of this type I have tried so I can't compare it to other ones. Personally I think I'd prefer to pay a bit more for one that is 100% secure.

This looks quite smart and fits my car well. I use it for the Waitrose free coffee offer. It really does keep your drink hot for a good while.I’m less keen on the top as it keeps closing on my nose when I tip the cup up, you need to hold it back with your finger to avoid this.The top is not as easy to fit on tightly as I’d expected it to be but once on it was a good secure fit.It kept my coffee very hot for four hours today.

This is quite a reasonable travel mug. As others have indicated there is a small amount of leakage. It does keep hot drinks warm for quite a long while but not for an entire 8 hour work day.I have used it for a few months now and it is still working well.
