Fellow 12 oz Carter Move Travel Mug – Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Coffee Mug – Coffee Tumbler with Ceramic Interior and Splash Guard – Sienna

A nice mug for coffee & tea
I purchased this since I needed a smaller mug to use at my desk. It’s pretty nice.The size is good. It fits the cup holders in our van very nicely, and is narrow enough to be comfortable to hold when drinking. I find it to be unobtrusive on my desk, and the green color is nice.There is a removable splash guard. This clips in securely, and works quite well to minimize accidental splashes. The lid screws on, and is watertight when fully tightened. I only tend to leave it on when I know I’ll not be drinking for a while though.It’s insulated, and this works as expected. With the lid off, and splash guard on, it keeps my tea & coffee comfortably hot for at least an hour, and it’ll keep things cold / cool for several. (It probably keeps things hot longer, I seldom take more than an hour to finish a hot drink though, so haven’t really tested this).

My favorite daily drinkware.
I seriously love all of the Fellow products I’ve ever tried. I never thought I would be excited about a coffee mug. Well, I simply love these. I now own two of them which is incredible considering the amount of drinkware I’ve been given as a gift and simply used only a few times.The thin lip that you drink from is amazing. That’s what makes this amazing to drink from. Of course, it does seal perfectly, keep your drinks warm all day, etc. The quality is top notch and better than most. However, don’t drop it, it will dent. The surface is slightly rough which does help with grip. Overall, I’m very happy with this product. The inside also cleans up well but I highly recommend getting a scrub brush for cleaning if you use this for coffee as the opening is too small to fit your hand into.As a nice side benefit, it fits perfectly with the Fellow Stagg X pourover dripper so I make my daily coffee straight into this without the need of a caraf.

Sleek and Well-Insulated Travel Mug
The Fellow Carter Move Travel Mug keeps my coffee hot for hours with its vacuum-insulated stainless steel design. The size is perfect for travel, and the lid seals well to prevent leaks.The only downside is that it’s not the most spill-proof option when on the go.

So far so good
As the headline says, so far so good. Haven’t had a chance to see how long it lasts, but hopefully I’ll update this review in the future. So far, a definite thumbs-up.Pros:–Design is clean and minimalist (I got the 12-oz white version). Also seems very robust and simple – almost nothing to break. It fits well in my car’s cupholder (CR-V) and under my coffee machine’s outlet nozzle (Keurig K40 – nothing fancy).–Ceramic coating does preserve the flavor. Doesn’t taste so odd any more.–Doesn’t spill easily. With the lid fully screwed on, I haven’t had it spill even when full (just from lightly turning it over a few times in my hands).–Keeps in the heat well. So far the longest I’ve left coffee in it has been only two hours, but it’s done very well keeping things hot.Cons:–While the design is pretty sleek overall, it does require two hands to open the lid when driving, which is a primary use case for me. But it’s a minor issue compared to spill prevention.–The lip of the mug (against which you place your lips) is stainless steel, which may get a little chilly, and adds a very slight taste to the coffee. But it would have been really difficult to add a ceramic coating to this part and still keep a good seal and a good price point, so I’m not dinging any points for this.The only thing left to see is longevity. Four stars.Edit 4/14/22: I’ve used this thing literally every day since I got it. So far only a couple minor dents and dings, and it’s held up pretty well. Upgrading to 5 stars.Edit 6/27/23: I’d recommend hand washing (at least the main body of the mug – can probably put the lid and splash guard in the dishwasher). The interior coating is fine, so the taste isn’t affected but the exterior coating has started to bubble and flake off after maybe 100 dishwasher cycles. There’s also been coating failure spreading from the dents and dings on the top of the main body (just below the stainless-steel lip), which is just normal with use. Again, though, I use this thing literally every day and wash it maybe twice a week in the dishwasher, so I’d say I’ve gotten my money’s worth and am happy with it.

The bad: It does not retain “hot” (definition: it burns my throat if I drink too fast) temperature for 12 hrs. At the most, probably 4-5 hours for a still enjoyable cup of coffee/beverage. After 8 hours it becomes a bit cooler than lukewarm.The REAL bad: the silicone ring soaks up odour like a dry sponge and it doesn’t leave no matter what you do with it. I used dish-washing detergent to clean the mug before use and it now smells like detergent (even when I poured coffee into it right after). The body of the mug smells fine, so the ceramic coating does work to repel odours, just not the lid. It’s good but not great. Was expecting much more considering the asking price.Update: Liquid gathers inside the crevices of the lid and you’ll almost always have to tap on the rim of the bottle to prevent drips. Sometimes tapping will not prevent all drips, especially bothersome if you have drinks other than water.

The flip top works really well and the flask is lined with ceramic so is easy to keep clean. The drink stays hot or cold for ages
