Several years ago, maybe 10 or so, Cuisinart sold a coffee maker that
came with no carafe, but instead had two insulated mugs. Over the
years the first, then the second mug's seals failed.

I liked the mugs because the lid had just an o-ring seal and no
threads. All one had to do was put the lid on in any position and
push. Simple.

Also the lid had no cover over the opening that had to rotated,
flipped or pushed in order to get a drink. Again, simple.

There wasn't even a handle. Very simple.

I've looked and looked and can't find one that simple. I even queried
Thermos and they don't have anything. Does anyone know of any
insulated mug available today that is, well, simple? Or have the
lawyers won the battle of them protecting us from ourselves?

As "Crocodile Dundee" would say, "THIS is a coffee mug!"
I'm definitely going to give the 20oz a try. Thanks.


I bought the 30 oz mug. I've been wanting one of these for awhile, so
when Amazon matched the company's price w/free shipping, I went for it.
I have a similar 12 oz tumbler (a different brand) which is just too
small, but I can attest that these vacuum insulated stainless tumblers
are the best. Quick and easy to wash, too, since they don't have
complicated lids.
