Travel mugs come in a variey of volume sizes too. If you only drink a small amount, consider a smaller 8 oz. travel mug. On other hand, if you want a large amount of coffee or tea to drink, consider a larger 16 or 20 oz. travel mug.
Once you get travel mug that is just right for your tastes, hand wash it instead of putting it in dishwasher. Sometimes soap residue gets left behind either in lid or in travel mug and no one likes that kind of surprise. So be sure to rinse it extra good so all that you taste is rich flavor of your coffee or tea.
If you leave your travel mug in car while at work, store it away from direct sunlight. That way hot sun magnified by windows won't damage rubber seals in lid.
Keep these tips in mind next time you shop for a travel mug so when you fly out of door with your favorite hot beverage, it will stay in mug and remain hot until last drop.
