Since this site is so good and finding hidden gems I thought I'd throw out a post to look for a new travel mug for my coffee. It actually applies to TB bags because I may upgrade my work bag after the new 2008 products are out and I'd like to start carrying my mug in or on my bag. Oh, FWIW, I'm a coffee snob and always not only brew but roast my own so it's important for me to be able to transport back and forth from work.
One idea I'm thinking of trying again is the totally sealed thermos. The key would be a no spill design. Ideally I like to store liquids outside my bag so a spill is isolated from my laptop but many bag designs force you to carry the mug (or water) inside the main compartment. This really makes no spill a major priority.
After reading on Nalgene bottles and plastic I guess I also need to look into stainless steel. I tried this years ago but the top never seemed to seal totally and the steel seemed to alter the taste of the coffee. But maybe I exaggerated.
As always, looking for top quality products and if I can support a made in the USA business like TB then all the better.
