Hydro Flask Water Bottle - Insulated Stainless Steel - Wide Mouth Flex Sip Lid, Non Spill, Leakproof and Refillable in 20 Oz Trillium Pink

-Important to Me- I was shopping for a leakproof 20 oz travel mug to use for coffee. I’ve had a Contigo West Loop for about five years but its trigger button doesn’t open far anymore and it will need to be replaced soon. I wanted to see if there’s a better option for me, so I compared the Zojirushi SM-SHE60BZ, Camelbak Forge Flow, and Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Wide Mouth Bottle. The features I like most in my Contigo are the trigger opening lid, the rubber around the lid for grip, and the overall size. However, the inside stains easily, the lid is nearly impossible to clean thoroughly without the using the dishwasher, and the trigger lock button also serves are an air hole so leaks if you don’t lock it. I'll use this mug to take coffee to work then for water throughout the day. I’ll fill the mug with coffee, throw it in my backpack and lay that on the car seat for the commute to the office, and keep the mug on my desk. I’ll also use this for water other times to take with me while I’m driving. I need this to be leakproof, keep coffee reasonably hot for a couple hours (I don’t like piping hot coffee, and I don’t have complaints about the Contigo), and be able to fit this in the fridge door recess for filling from the ice maker. I also don’t want the mug to make a lot of noise when I set it down on a table or my desk. I use adhesive felt on the bottom of my Contigo for this, but a built-in feature is nice to have. -Mug Size- The Zojirushi is the tallest and slimmest of all, so it will fit in the most cup holders, backpack sleeves, etc. The Hydro Flask, Camelbak, and Contigo are all roughly the same height with the lids on, the Contigo just about 1/8” shorter than the others. Lids off, the Hydro Flask stays about the same height with the Contigo then the Camelbak coming in shortest. The diameters are about the same across these three. Someone with small hands may prefer the Zojirushi over the others. All mugs fit in the recess for my LG water and ice maker but the Zojirushi just barely. I measured the opening because a larger opening is easier to use. I want to be able to fill the mug with ice from the fridge door, and pouring coffee from the pot is easier with a larger opening. The largest is the Camelbak, followed by the Contigo, then the Hydro Flask, and smallest is the Zojirushi. The Zojirushi definitely needed some attention to fill without spilling from my standard coffee pot. The Camelbak is the winner here. -Heat Retention- I filled each mug with 20 oz of water at 183.1 degrees F and let them sit for two hours. After an hour I did a touch test on the mugs, very imprecise, but I felt the sides of the mugs as well as the top and side of their lids. The Contigo mug was a bit warm on the outside. None of the other mugs felt noticeably warm but the Zojirushi did feel cooler than the rest; that could be due to the non-powder coated smooth finish though. The Contigo’s lid was very warm on the top and sides, warmest of all. The Camelbak lid’s top and sides were nearly as warm as the Contigo’s. The Hydro Flask lid was less warm than those, and Zojirushi lid was barely warmer than the air temperature. I’d imagine this will correlate to the amount of sweat that develops on iced drinks. All reviews indicated that the Zojirushi would retain heat best, almost to a fault. This proved to be true with a final temperature of 172.8. Next was the Hydro Flask at 160.7, then the Camelbak at 152.8, and the Contigo at 151.5. -Other Useful (and bad) Features- The Zojirushi has their proprietary Slick Steel interior finish intended to resist stains and corrosion. It feels smoother than the others so I won’t be surprised if it resists coffee stains better than the rest. The light colored plastic mouth piece and silicone stopper, though, will show stains more than black plastic of the others. The locking lid will prevent unexpected leaks if the button is pressed accidentally. The exterior finish is smooth and close to the Contigo. It also looks more modern compared to the others. It’s definitely the highest quality mug of this group. The Camelbak has a powder coated finish that is tactile and easy to grip, and a non-slip silicone base that makes it nearly silent to set down on a table. It has a trigger button for easy drinking but it does not lock closed so accidental spills are possible, for example if it’s rolling around in a backpack. The fixed handle on the lid could be useful depending on the person but would be an unnecessary feature if you won’t use it. It isn’t really detrimental, though, and does help stabilize the mug when drinking. The Hydro Flask’s powder coated finish is also tactile and easy to hold on to. There’s less chance of it slipping out of your hand and just feels nice, slightly better than the Camelbak. Its Flex Sip lid is a quarter-turn open and closed, so it will be difficult to accidentally open but less convenient than a button open. The Flex Strap on the lid could be useful carrying the mug but also rotates out of the way if you don’t want it. There’s a silicone boot accessory available that will reduce noise when setting the mug down on a table. -My Choice- I ultimately chose the Hydro Flask. It has the best balance of features I’m looking for. I’ve used it for a week now and I’m happy. The Flex Strap makes it easy to carry and the powder coated surface is easy to hold. I bought the silicone boot which fits well and makes it quiet to set on a table. The boot isn't perfect though: it makes setting it in a car's cupholder difficult and it picks up dirt.

It's a Hudro Flask. Keeps drinks cold or hot. Does both well. My only complaint is if the lid is fully closed and can build pressure so when you go to open it to drink, it sprays out a bit. So be careful until you are used to it.

...until you run over it with your car! My original was over five years old, a gift from my wife, and then I ran it over, so this is the replacement. Perfect size, keeps drinks hot/cold, very resilient even with years of dishwasher cleaning. Lids do leak after years of daily use, but inexpensive replacements are readily available

Great ice retention. Keeps cold cold keeps hot hot for hours! Cleans easy and totally leakproof! I fill it throw it in my bag and go. I didn’t like the captioning came with or o would have given it 5 stars to complicated and difficult for me to utilize with arthritis. So I just have the regular flip top that I replaced it with

These are great beverage bottles. My coffee stays hot (at least warm) for hours. And VERY easy to clean. The last one i had was disgusting after taking it apart, in a way not meant to be dismantled. Prying the tabs apart and removing the spring loaded spill proof pieces. I threw it away. This one is designed for exactly that. And if you use creamer in your coffee, you definitely need this thermos bottle.

So I've had this product and many of theirs for years, and just recently I had some issues, probably a product defect on one, and then wear/tear/negligence for the other. First. There was visible rust on the seams on the inside, close to the opening, and then somehow, water got in between the metal layers. I never use any sharp objects to clean this, there's no dents or holes inside/outside, so I have no idea really how water got through. I did however have this bottle sit with water for maybe 4 months untouched, closed, in a room, but I don't think that'd cause the problem. Any case, I reached out to their warranty and after some pictures, they sent me a new one. So that's great! Second, their flex lid. I love this lid overall because it's hard to accidentally open, or snag, and all parts are removable to clean. The bad, is that the silicone ring that makes it leak proof is susceptible to mold/staines. What happened for me, is that I use it to drink coffee, with cream/sugar and the residue sits in the lid, so if it isn't cleaned, it will slowly affect the gasket. Eventually, black spots appeared on it. Bleach helped at first but later on, it didn't anymore. Once again, reached out to the company, a couple pictures, and they sent a whole new lid. Keeping it clean more regularly would save you from this problem. Same with the o ring seal, it can be taken out to clean.

The lid contains 4 parts that need to be pulled apart to properly clean. Just rinsing or putting in the dishwasher does not work - you will find built up coffee and cream if not properly cleaned. And then reassembling this thing is weirdly complicated and unintuitive. Plus, even when assembled properly, the lid sometimes leaks from the seam as you drink from it. I've had this tumbler for 2 months now and I am still struggle with putting the lid back together. Today, after trying for 5 minutes to assemble it, I pulled up the instructions on the lid, tried again multiple times, and it still would not all click into place. I am done. How can a person that can successfully do DIY home and car repairs, not be able to use a stupid coffee lid? This thing is going into the trash and recycling Tip for others struggling: I recently bought the Yeti tumbler for my boyfriend and it is soooo much better and such a simple design. I will be make the switch to Yeti myself.

Worth every penny! Coffee stays piping hot for over 4 hours easily! This product is easy to use with a swivel lid to open and close between drinks, its extremely leak proof, stays cool on the hands while your drink stays hot, very hot. The lid twists are easy and it disassembles quickly for complete quick and easy cleaning, which at first I thought would be a pain to clean, but by far it is extremely simple and keeps everything fresh with no gunk build up issues. The best part is there's no soaking needed, you can disassemble and clean the lid as well as the thermos cup and reassemble the lid within a minute or two. There is also a very sturdy swivel strap carrier attached that is made very well, and makes carrying this thermos extremely easy and comfortable while carrying other things in the same hand. There's a small lip on the lid which makes it nice to keep any drip spills from accidentally happening. I have went through over half a dozen different name brand portable coffee cups, or thermoses, each one claiming to be durable and keeping your hot beverage hot for hours and hours, however each one of them has failed most of them would start to go from hot to warm within 1 hour or less while this one has stood the true test and I have drank extremely hot coffee 5 hours after keeping it in the hydro flask at room temperature of 70° Fahrenheit and it was as hot and fresh as if I just poured it. I was skeptical at first to spend the money on this product as I felt that it was a little overpriced, but I can assure you that it is worth every cent. I will never use another product for my coffee. I have also noticed that should anything ever happen to your lid they sell replacement lids at a reasonable price, which is an extra bonus because many products do not. This review is for the Hyfro Flask Coffee Widemouth flex sip lid Coffee thermos. Don't waste your time or money with anything else.
