Written by Chris Williams Updated: 26 August 2022

Reusable mugs and travel flasks are becoming increasingly popular. Partly because they’re a handy thing to have, but also because the billions of disposable coffee cups discarded in the UK every year is weighing heavily on our minds.

A quality travel mug is a great gift or perhaps your old one is a bit past its best. We’ve taken on the time-consuming task and compiled a definitive list of the best travel mugs currently available. Ranging from well-made and functional, to the very hi-tech.

Practical and reliable, the rCup is an option for those who like their coffee hot and planet looked after. Made from recycled paper cups, the lid is drinkable across 360-degree and can be opened with one hand. It’s perfect for the car, office or train, plus, it’s leak-proof. The life of the cup is extended further – if the seal goes, you can reach out to rCup on its website for a replacement.

This looks like a fairly ordinary 400ml stainless steel insulated flask, but it comes with a USB cable to charge it. Why? Because the top of the lid has a waterproof LCD screen that tells you the temperature of the liquid inside. The screen also has a red ring around it if the liquid is above 55°C, green if it’s between 55°C and 21°C, and blue if it’s between 20°C and 0°C. It also features a beeping reminder which, fortunately, can be turned off.
