Do Travel Mugs Leak?

February 13, 2019 By danny

leaking travel tumblerSome travel mugs leak.

Others do not.

It all comes down to the lid.

And also to what you mean by “leak.”

If you are looking for a tumbler that can be sloshed around during a rough car ride, without splashing your hot coffee everywhere, then most will fit the bill.

Any mug that comes with a lid will prevent splashing. The main lid styles are a silicone lid that slips over the rim of the cup and a plastic lid that goes inside the rim and usually seals with silicone rings wound the outside.

Both of these types form a good seal with the cup, but both have a hole in the lid for drinking. The plastic types usually allow to to close the hole by flipping or sliding the lid opening shut.

If you need a tumbler that can be tipped over and still not have any liquid seep out, then these types of lids will not work.

 

What Is The Best Leak-Proof Travel Mug?

The only type of lid that is completely spill-proof is one that screws on and that does not have an opening you can drink through. These are they types of lids you usually find on a thermos bottle.

There are some travel mugs that have screw-on lids, however, even some made from ceramic. Check out these, for example.

That said, most completely spill-proof mugs are made from metal and some from plastic.
