  David beat me to the punch...

  Hello...Mr. Gar? Where's the real info? You leave the reader wondering if this is a scam. It all sounds just too fabulous. Do you work for CyberTran or something?On Public transit that would work in Houston posted 3 years ago 29 Responses

  Not all SS mugs created equal

  I support Umbra's conclusion on stainless steel, but buyer beware. Many SS mugs have a plastic liner, which is joined to the SS exterior with a seam. This seam eventually deteriorates and opens up, then you get fluids leaking between the outer and inner layers either from washing the mug or just sloppy drinking. At that point you have a biohazard and the mug has to be tossed.

  The best SS mug is a double-layer mug with either a pressure-formed or welded construction, so that both the inside and outside are SS -- with no seams in between. These create a sealed, insulated space between the layers that keeps drinks extra-toasty.

  I have one such mug that is probably 10 years old and it still looks new.

  Also, watch out for cheap-out lids. The best have a screw top with a neoprene-type seal rather than rubber, which wears out a lot faster.On Umbra on travel mugs posted 3 years ago 22 Responses
