Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Stanley 1913 travel mug?

The best Stanley 1913 travel mug depends on how and where you enjoy your coffee. Whether you're commuting, travelling or working from the office, explore our How to Find Your Perfect Travel Mug guide to discover the perfect companion for your daily routine.

Stanley 1913 Travel Mugs

A travel mug has to do two things a normal mug doesn't: seal properly, and fit where you're putting it. Ours are double-wall vacuum insulated stainless steel, with lids built to be carried in a bag and bases sized for a car cupholder.

Which means coffee made at home is still coffee when you arrive, and the bag it travelled in is still dry.

Insulated Travel Mug

The insulation is the reason to buy steel over plastic. Two walls with a vacuum between them keep the drink hot for hours and keep the outside cool enough to hold, so it doesn't heat your hand or the inside of your bag. Cold drinks work the same way in reverse.

Leakproof Travel Mug

A travel mug earns trust the first time it goes in a bag next to a laptop and nothing happens. Sealed lids are what make that possible, and it's worth checking whether a lid is genuinely sealed or merely splash-resistant, because the two are different and only one is safe in a rucksack.

Looking for a Handle?

Our travel mugs are built without one, because a handle and a sealed, cupholder-friendly profile pull in opposite directions. If a handle is what you want, you want a different format: the Coffee Mugs and insulated mugs are made to be held, and the Tumblers range pairs an ergonomic handle with a much larger capacity.

Travel Coffee Cup, for the Commute

If the journey is the point, size it to the journey. A smaller travel coffee cup finishes with the walk to the station; a larger one lasts the drive and the first hour at the desk. Our guide to finding your perfect travel mug works through capacity, lid type and use case.

Built for Life, Built to Last

A steel travel mug is a buy-once object. Drop it and it dents rather than splits, and it never picks up the stale plastic taste that makes people quietly stop using a reusable cup. Weighed against a paper cup with a twenty-minute working life, the arithmetic is not close. Built from recycled steel, BPA free, and dishwasher friendly.
