Russian roulette with your coffee
A travel mug has two functions: while we mostly care about it keeping our coffee hot during our commute, we often oversee a travel mug's fundamental role of containing the hot liquid within it as you transport it. This mug works well initially, but one day it will leak and the coffee will get everywhere, be it your lunch bag or your work bag or your clothes, and you will think to yourself: "I must have done something wrong." It was a jarring experience, and the recollection of washing out the contents of your work bag and having coffee stains all over your clothes (the work bag was on my lap in a subway) ensured that you would check the seal every day henceforth, to be abundantly cautious, you put it inside a plastic bag. Then one day it leaks again, destroying the lunch you packed for yourself, and this time you know you've done nothing wrong. So then you find yourself putting your Contigo SnapSeal Stainless Steel Travel Mug inside another plastic bag within your lunch bag in hopes that when it chooses to leak it does not ruin your meal because you know this thing will fail.
THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE.
