Finding a good travel mug can be tough, as there are so many different kinds and sizes. Everyone has their own preferences as to what they are looking for, and we’ve got you covered!

I prefer ceramic travel mugs, and Ello never disappoints. The Ogden Travel Mug is a sixteen ounce travel coffee mug with an insulated silicone boot that will keep your coffee hot longer. It has a splash-resistant slider lid, and is dishwasher safe. Enjoy your coffee on the go with the same great taste you get from a mug at home! Available in five colors.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Travel Mug

Best Buy

In this day and age, we can pretty much expect that everything out there has a “smart” version, and travel mugs are no different. The Ember Temperature Control Smart Travel Mug allows you to adjust the temperature of your hot beverage through your phone, or through the touch screen on the mug. You can also track your caffeine intake, and even have presets for your favorite drinks. Needless to say, it doesn’t come cheap, as the mug costs $179.

There is something oddly satisfying about pressing a button to unlock your lid and take a sip, plus, it ensures a tight, vacuum seal and leak-free mug. This ceramic travel mug is triple walled and vacuum insulated with a ceramic lining, so you will know that neither the taste nor the temperature of your drink will be sacrificed. Available in five colors, as well as a twenty ounce size.
