"These mugs are simply excellent!" shared one reviewer.

"Best travel mug I’ve ever purchased," added another.

While there have been many rave reviews about the performance of these insulated mugs, some shoppers caution that the coloured versions are prone to scratches and peeling over time.

For that reason, you'll want to stick to cool water when hand-washing the mugs to make sure that they stay looking their best for as long as possible.

Final verdict

With the new school year just a few short weeks away, it's the perfect time to add these insulated mugs to your shopping list. They can be used for water, as well as iced or hot coffee and tea, and shoppers love their spill-proof design. Just be sure to wash them gently to make sure that they stay looking their best all year long.
