How the Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug Saved My Morning Coffee
I’m a little obsessed with coffee. A life with two young children, one in therapy and the other with energy through the roof, I need my coffee in the morning to get through the day.
My day starts at the crack of dawn, I wake up early to have a moment of quiet time before the kids get up. Though it doesn’t always work that way… I really think my kids have a built in sensor and know the minute my eyes open.
I like to sit down, check my email and drink my coffee to wake up and start the day. When I can sneak out of my room quietly, this is definitely a doable routine. Though most mornings, when my children realize that I have woken up early, my routine gets a little broken up. My coffee often sits there to get cold while I make the kids breakfast, clean up spills and change diapers.
Is it possible that the Contigo AUTOSEAL West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug could help me out with the cold coffee problem? Contigo sent me one for review and I put it to my morning routine test.
Some of the features that we love about the Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug:
- 100% Leakproof
- Holds 16 Oz. of liquid – Hot or Cold
- Keeps hot drinks hot for 4 hours
- Keeps cold drinks cold for 12 hours
- Contoured shape that allows for easy handling
- Comes in 9 bright and colorful colors
The Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug fits perfectly under our one cup coffee maker, I can drip coffee directly into the cup without having to pour from a coffee cup. I love this convenience, making it so easy to transition into my morning routine.
I’ve been using this travel mug for about a month now and it’s become a must have. Just this evening, I made myself an evening cup of coffee – it’s been a long day and really needed a boost. My coffee was served directly into the Contigo Stainless Steel Travel Mug, then it happened. My kids reached their limits and it was time for baths, changing of the bed sheets, story time and bed. The whole process took an hour and a half.
I finally had a chance to sit down, eat my now cold dinner, and relax. Then I took a sip of my coffee, expecting it to be cold and my coffee was still scorching hot. While it sucked to burn my tongue on hot coffee, I smiled at my Contigo stainless steel travel mug and relaxed with my coffee while the kids were in bed.
I love every single thing about this Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug.. everything! It’s been so easy to use in my every day routine, I love that it can come with me when running out of the house last minute and it’s just what I need when my life gets interrupted before finishing up my cup of coffee.
Now I just need to add a few more to my collection and my problem will be completely solved.

Looks great for traveling as well as being able to hold it!
I’ve never seen such a stylish travel mug. This is the first one I’ve seen that I actually want. I’ll have to put it on my birthday list…
Love that mug!! My daughter has a couple contigo autoseal cups and I just love them. I’d like to get a couple for myself.
I’m caffeine intolerant and even decaf I only drink once in a while.
I’m a tea drinker, so this mug would still be wonderful for me.
Love it! Perfectly contoured to make holding it very easy.
Awesome! I never seem to buy my own travel mugs. I get the cheap-o plastic ones from work constantly…this would be a great upgrade!
It really is impressive mug. It saves us a lot while traveling.
ahhhh…. adding to wish list..now
I want one!
This travel mug looks really great. I love that it’s made of stainless steel. I’m sure it keeps drinks piping hot! Is it easy to clean?
They look very durable.
This is really neat! I need to have it on my wishlist for later.
I have heard such WONDERFUL things about Contigo mugs. I loooooooooooove your purple mug! Purple is my favorite color! Where did you get it from?

Perfect fit! And they are stylish as well!
I haven’t really found a mug that will keep my beverages perfectly hot in the mornings. However, this review has been really helpful.
I like that it holds hot or cold beverages. My mug specifically states no cold drinks -bummer for iced coffee.
I am not much of a coffee drinker, but I love that it keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours.
I have a spill proof contigo and its the only thing I drink coffee out of now with kids around!
This looks awesome..I had a ceramic travel mug that my daughter broke on me..I think one of these would be much safer :)
I’ve heard of these mugs my friend swears by them. Now I definitely need to get one.
I love the contigo mugs…right now I am having coffee on one. I love them and I like how the coffee stays hot for hours…
love how it fits right under the one pot machine! plus they are just cool looking cups!
That mug sounds amazing! I can never finish a hot beverage before it gets cold!
Having something like this that keeps drinks hot for so long would have been nice when I worked retail. I drank more cold chocolates than hot chocolates for those four years LOL
Ok that is pretty cool! Would be perfect for winter hot cocoas!
Wow. I would love that for my tea, too! I hate drinking cold tea, but chasing around two littles makes it quite difficult to EVER finish a cup while it’s still warm!
The best thing is obviously that you can drip coffee directly into the cup without having to pour from a coffee pot; that’s a time saver.

Thank you for this post , I too was looking for a cup/mug like this. Love that it is spill proof. I couldn’t tell you the amount of times I have spilled liquid from my cup. (Again thank you for this information on this post).
We love Contigo products. The purple on this cup is such a pretty color.
There is nothing worse than a cold cup of coffee when you want it hot. I can totally relate! I’ll have to check this out. LOVE the color you got!!! And after reading the comments, it looks like I need to check out their other cups too!
I love my stainless steel Contigo water bottle! The one-handed drinking feature is invaluable for a nursing mama!
John uses and loves their coffee mugs, too.
We love our Contigo products. We have some for our older kids to use on car trips too.
Love it! Keeps it hot for 4 hours?! That is wonderful..I guess I’m not the only momma who got distracted and came back to a sip of cold, stout coffee. lol…I love the look too!
What a gorgeous cup (can you tell I LOVE purple?!)! I love that you can choose to use hot or cold beverages in it, I’m thinking I need a few of these for our home!
I’ve also had the nasty cold sip of coffee too! I need this cup!
I know EXACTLY what you mean! I’m a tea drinker and my tea always ends up cold somewhere and forgotten about. I need a new travel mug so I’ll have to check this one out. :)
