Samya Said, former barista-training manager at Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea, likes that they’re made with an inner slope, which she says “allows baristas to pour amazing art every time.” The lid here functions pretty much the same as the MiiR, which means you can sip from the hole or take the whole thing off if that’s how you prefer to enjoy a cappuccino. “Some reusable cups are so big they don’t fit into the espresso machine,” she says. She also notes that, because of their small size, they’re easier to use when making cortados or cappuccinos. “I like KeepCups because they’re made for baristas to pour into, so they’re the easiest for us to make latte art in,” she says. The small glass vessels were originally designed by two former baristas in Melbourne, Australia, making it easier for people like Joanna Lareau, coffee manager at Stumptown, to do their jobs. KeepCup was also mentioned by many of our experts.

Volume: 12 and 16 ounces | Lid type: Flip lid | How to clean: Handwash only The final bonus, Morisson says, is it fits into cup holders in both cars and bikes, which “is not always the case.”
“Coffee has sticky oils that leave residue, and there’s nothing worse than a mug that holds that flavor over time,” he says. “It’s stainless steel, so it washes really easily,” he adds, “and doesn’t hold on to any flavors.” Will Pratt, founder and owner of Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, Maine, agrees that its material makes it a breeze to clean - and says if you have one, you can even just throw it in the dishwasher. Jerad Morrison, co-founder and co-CEO of Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco, explains that the temperature retention is thanks to the double-walled interior, which also means it’s never too hot or too cold to the touch. The lid screws on tight with a small piece that flips up when you take a sip then locks back in when you’re done. The MiiR Flip Travel tumbler is “super-sleek, retains heat and cold really well, and never leaks,” says Allie Caran, product manager at Barista Valet in New York City. Volume: 12 to 20 ounces | Lid type: Flip lid | How to clean: Dishwasher safe Read on to help determine which reusable cup, mug, or tumbler is best for you. While all of them work well, if you’re going to invest in this long-term good habit, you want to find the one that best fits your coffee habits and, of course, aesthetic preference. All of the travel mugs on this list have temperature retention for at least a few hours, if not longer, with the exception of three, which I’ve noted and explained. Most important, though, they keep your drink hot or cold for longer. Every single one of the pros I talked to for this story said that not only are ceramic, glass, and stainless-steel options better for the environment, they actually make your coffee taste better than paper or plastic (same goes for tea). And trust me: Baristas are more than happy to oblige.
I know when I walk into any coffee shop, I’m bound to see at least a handful of people asking for their morning brew to be poured into their own reusable vessel instead of something disposable. The days of paper cups and plastic straws are, if not entirely behind us, certainly not what they used to be.
