Contigo AUTOSEAL West Loop 16 oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug — Crystal Sake, Vacuum-Insulated & Easy-Clean Lid

Designed for commuters, travelers and everyday coffee lovers, this 16-ounce stainless steel travel mug combines long-lasting temperature control with a spill-resistant lid engineered for simple washing. Its THERMALOCK vacuum insulation helps retain heat or cold for hours, while AUTOSEAL technology automatically seals the drinking opening after each sip. The lid opens fully for cleaning and is a single piece that fits on the dishwasher top rack, while the stainless-steel body is recommended for hand-washing to preserve the finish.

How well does it keep drinks hot or cold?

The West Loop uses double-wall vacuum insulation to slow heat transfer and maintain beverage temperature for long periods. Expect hot drinks to stay warm for many hours and cold drinks to remain chilled through the day under typical use.

• THERMALOCK vacuum insulation minimizes heat exchange
• Hot retention measured up to roughly 11 hours in everyday scenarios
• Cold retention extends up to about 24 hours for iced beverages

Is the lid really easy to clean and use with one hand?

The one-piece Easy-Clean lid flips open fully so you can access the entire drinking area without dismantling small parts. AUTOSEAL makes single-handed operation effortless: press to drink, release and the mechanism reseals to prevent drips.

• Easy-Clean lid opens completely for thorough rinsing
• No removable components to lose or reassemble
• Top-rack dishwasher safe for the lid; body is hand-wash recommended

Will this mug leak in a bag or fit my car cup holder?

The AUTOSEAL system locks the drinking spout between sips to protect against spills when the mug is jostled or turned upside down. The 16 oz size and tapered base are designed to sit securely in most vehicle cup holders and fit under many single-serve brewers for convenient refills.

• AUTOSEAL locks automatically to prevent leaks and spills
• Tapered design fits most automobile cup holders
• Sized to work under common single-serve coffee machines

Does the lid work well for tea drinkers and is it safe?

The lid includes an internal hook that can hold a tea bag out of the way while steeping, avoiding wet strings and messy drips. The materials used are free of BPA, and the product is backed by a limited lifetime guarantee in the U.S. and Canada for added peace of mind.

• Inner tea-bag hook keeps strings tidy during brewing
• BPA-free components for food-contact safety
• Limited lifetime warranty applicable in the U.S. and Canada

Who is this for: The Contigo AUTOSEAL West Loop 16 oz is ideal for people who need a dependable, thermal travel mug for daily commutes, travel days, or long work shifts. It suits those who prioritize a leak-resistant lid, one-handed operation, and easy maintenance—especially busy professionals, frequent travelers, and anyone who wants their drinks to stay at an enjoyable temperature without fuss.
