Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Contigo Stainless Steel Double Wall Tumbler with Caribineer ClipCustomer Review: 2 versions - Foam and Vacuum Insulated Summary: 2 Stars
Hi,
I have three of these mugs. Two of them came directly from a Starbucks store. One came from Bed, Bath and Beyond and was labeled Contigo. Other than the name these are outwardly the same mug. Both mugs from Starbucks will keep coffee out of a standard coffee maker hot for several hours. It is still warm after lunch. The Contigo mug will not keep coffee hot for more than half an hour. You can feel the difference in the mugs right after pouring in the coffee. The Starbucks mugs are cool or slightly warm to the touch but the Contigo gets very warm to hot to the touch.
After speaking with Contigo I found that there are indeed two versions. Most retailers opt to sell the lower quality Foam insulated mug. According to Contigo the only retailer currently selling the vacuum insulated mug is Costco (and a few ebay resellers). Contigo will be setting up an Ecommerce site to sell their products direct. The vacuum mugs should be available in late Feb (25th or later). If you purchase at another retailer you can tell the more superior vacuum insulated mug by the packaging. If it doesn't say "Vacuum Insulated" it is the Foam version.
I love the style of the mug, it's durability and it's functionality but will only buy the Vacuum Insulated version from now on.
