Stanley The Tough-To-Tip Admiral’s Mug Hammertone 20OZ

Super stable, Stanley quality
Anyone whose father used a ‘lunchbox’ to take meals to work, probably saw a large Stanley Thermos in use everyday. They seemed to be standard equipment for most blue collar workers, lasted forever and never failed to pour a hot cup of coffee when needed.Fast forward to today: I don’t often need a large Thermos, as I do office work and only camp or work outside occasionally. But I DO need a solid cup. My cup normally sits next to my computer and has a very low profile. The wide base keeps it upright even when it gets bumped as I sometimes misjudge the distance a bit.It has only gone camping with me a few times. It keeps a beverage the temp you want and seals nicely. The odd shape makes packing a challenge unless you hang it on a carabiner or use a paracord sling. The handle is large enough to use even with work gloves on. I haven’t tried winter gloves yet, but you should be able to get a good grip regardless.It might be me, but I find many cup lids have a tendency to dribble or drip when I drink from them, especially as they age and the seals loosen. Not so here. The lid is screws in tight and doesn’t dribble when you drink from it.This is not a ‘cupholder’ sized cup. Its’ rubberized bottom is designed to sit on flat surfaces and stay put. I can verify that it sits nicely on multiple brands of pickup truck hoods without scratching or marring the finish of the city trucks. That’s not normally a concern for ‘country’ trucks…..Good cup, works as advertised and seems well built. The rubber bottom might eventually tear or crack, but there are no signs of breakdown yet.I can only hope it lasts as long as my Dad’s Thermos.

Sturdy and solid, great mug
Ordered all the way from Europe, as the same mug is more than twice as expensive here. It arrived safely and in good shape, and it does what it’s supposed to do: keep my tea warm while I’m working. I filled it up two hours ago and I still have to be careful while drinking, it’s still that hot . It’s a good idea to press your nose against the little hole so the hot drink doesn’t come out so fast :-)Very happy with my purchase, as is my keyboard (no more knocked over cups).

Great cup but handle isn’t quite tall enough for an Admiral…
The cup looks great, especially in the vintage green I remember from my dad’s thermos. It does indeed hold 20oz even though it looks like it wouldn’t. I put some ice water in it, and it didn’t sweat, so the vacuum is intact. The flip cap is pretty tight, as some other reviewers have mentioned. I’m hoping it will loosen up just a little over time. My biggest gripe is that the handle isn’t quite tall enough for a man’s hand (it’s about 2.5″ clearance for your fingers), and you have to put your pinkie finger underneath. Not a huge deal, but another quarter to half inch taller would have made the grip more comfortable. It has a wide rubber base, so it won’t slide around, nor will it tip over. Overall I’m pleased, and hoping it will last as long as dad’s thermos, especially for the price. Note, I’ve heard Stanley doesn’t offer a replacement for the lid, so I’m hoping to find an aftermarket lid that may fit in case it ever breaks. Also, the handle is attached with security torx screws. Since most people don’t have these bits, if the screws ever loosen as per some negative reviews, you will need to purchase a cheap set of bits, and use a bit of loctite to reinstall them. I’ll update this review if I ever run into issues.

Very stable
Keeps coffee hot. Bought because my husband has tremors in his hand and it is sometimes easy for him to tip over his cup. The bottom is much bigger than the top thus it is stable.Update: coffee maker stopped heating water and hot plate on carafe side. Less than 2 months of use. Reached out to the manufacturer and after proving where, what, when, and how much I paid, Keurig promised replacement. Hopefully it will be here next week! Glad I kept my old Bunn!

LLego muy rapido sin embargo el envase venia solo en una caja, no traia nada que lo protegiera y llego a mi punto de vista maltrado, en otros envios les ponen algo para que los protega , en este no fue el caso

I’ve had an Admiral’s Mug for 6 years and never spilled my drink. I drink tea from it and it stays hot for a couple of hours, then slowly cools down. At this point I add more hot water (I use tea bags). At first the flap on the top is tight and can be a bit difficult to open. But at this point (and after 6 years), it’s very loose and the mug is not leak-proof. When taking off the lid, I hold the mug and not the handle to twist off the lid. I’m worried the plastic handle will will break. There’s also a small vent hole on the lid that, sometimes, gets tea in it and stops the flow of air. Be careful because once that vent hole is cleared, your drink can come gushing out. This mug is almost impossible to tip over. It’s very easy to clean by hand. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this mug. And so is my keyboard. 😀
