Highwave JOEmo 13oz Vacuum Stainless Steel Travel Mug Color Aqua

Purchased this on the recommendation of friends I travel with. It keeps coffee hot for hours and fits in the pocket of my travel purse. I did not notice any odor some others have mentioned in their reviews. I'm very happy with the performance of the cup. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the cup comes with a sticker on it that is not easily removed. I washed in hot water, then I rubbed "goo gone" over the sticky area and rubbed with my finger. Finally I used a plastic scrub pad (not the abrasive kind). Finally the sticky residue was gone along with a small area of the color finish. The picture I included was after using and hand washing many times after a long trip. The color finish continues to chip off. If I had it to do over I would get the stainless with no color finish. Otherwise it's a great cup.

I'm a devotee of these JoeMo's; I've probably been through 4 or 5 over the past 6-7 years. They are reasonably priced particularly for double-walled, vacuum-sealed stainless steel. They are great at keeping drinks hot a good 4 hours - and the leak proof lids work; I rarely use the screw on seal as the regular button seal has never leaked when the drink is knocked over.One suggestion: DO remove ALL the translucent white rubber seals - including the larger diameter one that doesn't look like it comes off (it does with a little effort) - every so often and clean with soap and a little bleach to kill bacteria that might reside there; these can get quite dirty internally after several weeks use and LOOK clean but aren't.

Love the JOEmo bottles. I have used mine for several years. When my father visited recently he couldn't leave mine alone, "Wow you still have ice" "Wow, your water is really cold"I had to buy him his own bottle. He loves it! I'll pass along my cleaning process- Once a week I scrub it out with hot soapy water, put the lid on to shake the suds through the lid, rinse, then fill it with 1/3rd white vinegar and 2/3rd hot water screw on the top and let sit for an hour or overnight. Rinse with water to clear the vinegar and its fresh as a daisy. Repeat twice a week if using drinks with cream or sugar. I used to take my first bottle/lid apart to clean the lid I find this process keeps everything fresh- even the lid when I have taken it apart is clean as a whistle.

as someone else mentioned, there is a plasticky creepy smell which made me sick to my stomach. A little investigation revealed the source of the smell is the two white soft-plastic sealing O-rings. The other reviewer mentioned that the smell dissappated after a few weeks (!), and I'm hoping the same will happen for me. Until then I really find it unusable cuz it makes me sick and ruins the drink in the mug; its that overpowering. I've scrubbed removed and scrubbed the rings with detergent but so far they smell as strong as ever.UPDATE: It took 5 full days of airing out the rings on the kitchen table before the smell dissipated. But once back in the mug, presumably from the closed space inside, it reappeared. Might return it.

I searched Amazon reviews for three days, looking for a travel mug that met four very specific criteria:1) Must be vacuum insulated and keep coffee hot for more than 2 hours2) Must not spill under ordinary conditions.3) Must be easy to clean (i.e. including being able to periodically take the top apart and clean all surfaces that come in contact with drink).4) Must be narrow enough to fit in those dinky european car cup holders.If these four items are your main requirements, this may be the one for you. I've been using it for two weeks now, and I have no complaints....yet. As far as capacity is concerned, I've had no trouble with it holding two six ounce cups plus some cream. If you fill it this full, it's a good idea to press the button to open the top before you tighten it all the way down. After that, you can close it again for transport, and it's less likely to build up pressure. There is a "top cap" that screws into the mouthpiece cap. If you screw this on, the mug will not leak. If you leave it off, you just have to make sure you don't turn it over or upside down, and you should have no worries. If you are the kind of person who ends up with their stuff all over the seats and floor of your car at the end of a commute, you should always use the top seal in the car (I'll reserve comment on your driving skills - and it doesn't matter what city you live in. Kids in the car....OK, I'll give you that). The mug keeps my coffee a very pleasant drinking temp for at least 4 hours. This could probably be extended with hotter beverage to start, or pre-warming with hot water (who has time for this, I don't know). Cleaning so far is a breeze, although you do want to pay particular attention to the silicone gaskets...they tend to build up a little crud if you don't take them off and clean them when you do the rest of the pieces. Right now this mug is not sold directly by Amazon, so you are pretty much stuck with shipping costs, but it's inexpensive enough that it still costs less than some of the others on the site. In my opinion, if you pay more than three dollars for a mug that cannot be properly cleaned, you are wasting your money (unless you just need a quick fix, and plan to throw it away in a week. In that case, go to the dollar store). The only reasons I don't give it five stars - I would like to see it hold another ounce or two, and have fewer moving parts. Other than that, a good choice for the money.

I purchased 2 about 10 years ago from Eddie Bauer for my parents. One got lost... I got smart and looked at the manufacturer on the bottom. Purchased this as a replacement, would probably do the stainless as the color is wearing, otherwise it is back to daily use!!! When you press the button on the cap, you have 365 degree drink ability. No need to find the one hole on the top.

Got one several years back and found it was just right. I bought this because we needed a second one—but this was after I tried a well respected brand. That “other” brand leaked heat thru the sides of the lid, and the need to hold in the button on one side when drinking was inconvenient. No heat leaks here and one-push button in the center of the lid means I’m not fumbling to locate a side button when needing a sip.

Loved it that I can drink from any part and didn't have to look for the mouth piece.

exactly as described & prompt delivery keeping me up to date as to arrival.
