The Monday after a long holiday weekend calls for a big mug of coffee. Am I right?!? If you’re like me and love taking your coffee on-the-go you’re going to enjoy this post because I’m partnering up with Contigo® to share a little about their new Metra Travel Mug and host a giveaway (more on that below).
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m the queen of liquids and most mornings start with at least three different beverages — usually water, apple cider vinegar and coffee. I work from home so I don’t have to worry about bringing all three with me to work the way I used to, but on mornings when I head straight to workout I always bring my coffee and water with me. I sip my coffee on the drive, leave it in the car and then drink the rest after I’m done working out.
As you can imagine there are a few challenges that arise.
First off, when leaving the house I’ve got my hands full with my purse, keys, coffee, water bottle and whatever else I need for the workout — my heart rate monitor for Orangetheory or socks if I’m going to a Pure Barre class. It can definitely be a challenge to get out the door and into my car without feeling like I’m going to drop something or spill my coffee all over myself… it’s happened.
The other issue is that I don’t usually finish the full cup of coffee on the drive so I like to finish drinking it after class. Of course, it usually gets cold and isn’t as enticing after sitting in the car for an hour. Some mugs keep it warmer than others (and I have my favorites) but Isaac and I share so if he’s taken the “good one” to work I’m left with whatever is in the cabinet.
That is until recently when I was introduced to the Contigo® AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug. I was immediately drawn to it for the cute design — I love the teal and white color — but after using it I realized it’s pretty awesome on all fronts.
- The mouthpiece automatically seals between sips and it’s leak proof so I don’t have to worry about dripping coffee while running to the car.
- The mouthpiece has a CleanGuard™ spout cover, which helps keep the drinking area clean when not in use. My old water bottle has an exposed mouthpiece and it used to drive me crazy thinking about all the dust and germs it collected, especially when traveling.
- The container itself is super insulated so warm beverages, like coffee, stay hot for up to five hours and cold drinks keep chilled for up to 12 hours. It’s pretty sweet to finish my workout and still have hot coffee! Or leisurely sip on coffee at my desk throughout the morning without having to reheat it.
Last but not least, the mug fits perfectly in the cup holder in my car. I have no use for reusable water bottles and travel mugs that don’t fit in my car’s cup holders — it’s one of my biggest pet peeves.
So there ya have it — the Contigo® AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug is pretty sweet. If you’re in need of a new reusable travel mug definitely check it out. They have the polar white color seen here, as well as, black and stainless steel. And since it’s officially the holiday season, I’ll mention that it would make a great holiday gift idea. Pair it with a bag of roasted coffee beans and you’ve got yourself an awesome gift for the coffee lover in your life. Plus, they’re 30% off for Cyber Monday. Woot.
