Are We There Yet? Best Car Coffee Mugs for Road Trips, Commuting & More

Back to school, back to work, back to regular routines. Not only is it not that bad, we’d say some parts of the daily grind are not a grind at all. Rather, they’re a smooth espresso grind. A cold brew coffee grind. A pumpkin spice latte grind. But we digress. The best part of the daily grind might just be the daily commute—specifically, the personal playlist, the climate just the way you want it, and the customized commuter coffee mug filled with your favorite “pick me up” or “keep me calm” beverage.  

And speaking of the latter: Whether hitting the road with coffee, tea, or a cool kombucha, we all need something to stop those stains and spills from making a mess of the morning commute—which makes promotional travel mugs a good gift for customers, employees, and event attendees. We’ve got you covered with custom logo travel mugs that keep a lid on tragic a.m. tumbles and ensure your branding’s along for every ride. Below, we answer your questions about the best commuter coffee mugs, including travel mugs that keep coffee hot the longest, and the best car coffee mug for promoting on the go.  

What Is the Best Coffee Mug for a Car?

Simply put, the best commuter coffee mug is the one that fits in your cup holder, keep the contents safely inside despite twists, turns, and sudden stops, and holds enough to get you functioning at peak performance by the time you pull into the office parking lot. For all of that, plus a price that can’t be beat, we like this one: 

• 18 oz. Double-Wall Stainless Steel Liza Tumbler

Which Coffee Mugs Keep Coffee Hot the Longest?

For coffee that stays piping hot, look for a tumbler that’s stainless steel, double-walled, and vacuum-insulated. Check out these crowd (er, commuter) pleasers: 

• Grande 16 oz. Ree Stainless Steel Vacuum-Insulated Tumbler with Lid

• Hugo Copper Vacuum Insulated Tumbler 20 oz

What’s the Best Car Coffee Mug for Advertising Your Logo?

When you’re advertising your small business, non-profit, school, or special occasion with promotional travel mugs, go for double-wall construction and a full color imprint. Double walls ensure your tumbler keeps beverages hot, while full color means your logo pops all around town. For style, substance, and all eyes on your logo, we like these:  

• Full Color 18 oz. Double-Wall Stainless Steel Liza Tumbler

• Full Color 22 oz. Stainless Steel Eli Travel Mug

What’s the Best Commuter Coffee Mug with a Handle?

For a smooth transition from the car to the conference room, choose a commuter coffee mug complete with a handle for sophisticated sipping in the office or on campus. Plus, a handle makes juggling laptops, notebooks, and a cup of tea or coffee that much easier. This one boasts the rugged good looks to work around the campfire as well.
