11 Travel Mugs That Will Keep Your Coffee Hot for Hours

For me, morning coffee is nonnegotiable. The dose of caffeine helps jump-start my day, and the ritual of making and sipping hot, slightly bitter coffee is equally important to starting things off on the right foot. But as much as I love sitting and savoring said coffee, I don’t always have the time to do so. Enter my trusty travel mug.

When I have a super-early morning (or an accidentally late wake-up), I know better than to skip coffee altogether. Instead, I take it to go. I own a two different travel mugs — a Zojirushi stainless mug and a Yeti Rambler, both listed below along with several other great options — which means there’s always one clean and ready to go. If you’re in the market for a to-go mug or two, the options below are tried-and-true products that are guaranteed to keep your coffee hot for hours.

Zojirushi stainless mug

When it comes to keeping your coffee piping hot, Zojirushi’s line of stainless-steel thermoses have long been considered the gold standard. They come in a wide variety of colors, plus a few different shapes and sizes. My favorite is this 16-ounce rose-gold mug, which fits into a purse comfortably.

Yeti Rambler mug

If you’re looking for a travel mug with a handle, this 14-ounce Yeti Rambler is your best bet. It’s made for the extreme outdoors, so it’s more than capable of handling a commute or a few hours on your desk. One thing to note: Lids are sold separately for $9.99 each, so make sure to buy one if you’re hoping to actually travel with this thing.
