Product Information

Full details

The Contigo West Loop Autoseal Travel Mug in Black (470ml) is designed for commuters and busy individuals seeking a reliable, leak-proof way to carry their beverages. Its primary benefit is the Autoseal technology, which guarantees no spills, but a potential caveat is the need for regular cleaning of the lid mechanism to ensure optimal function. This durable travel mug features vacuum-insulated stainless steel to maintain drink temperatures for hours, a lid-lock to prevent accidental button presses, and a design that fits most car cup holders.

FAQs

Is the entire mug dishwasher safe?

No, only the lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. The stainless steel body of the mug must be hand washed.

How do I ensure the mug is leak-proof?

The Autoseal technology seals automatically when the button is released. Ensure the lid is tightly screwed onto the body and that the lid's internal seals are clean and free of debris.

What is the benefit of the lid-lock feature?

The lid-lock prevents the Autoseal button from being accidentally pressed, which can prevent unintended spills when the mug is being transported in a bag or carried.

How long does the thermal insulation last?

The Thermalock vacuum insulation keeps drinks hot for up to 5 hours and cold for up to 12 hours.

Can I use this mug for carbonated beverages?

This mug is not recommended for carbonated beverages as the pressure can cause leaks or sprays when the Autoseal button is pressed.

What is the best way to clean the lid mechanism?

Hinge the lid open completely. Use warm, soapy water and a soft brush or sponge to clean any residue around the button and sealing areas. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Does the exterior of the mug get hot or cold?

No, the vacuum-insulated stainless steel body is designed to be sweat-proof and will not feel hot or cold to the touch, regardless of the beverage temperature inside.

Troubleshooting

Mug is leaking

Ensure the Autoseal button is fully released and the lid is securely screwed onto the mug body. Check the silicone seals within the lid for any damage or debris. The lid may need a more thorough cleaning.

Beverage not staying hot/cold as long

Verify that the lid is properly sealed. Pre-heating the mug with hot water or pre-chilling with cold water before filling can help maximize temperature retention. Ensure the vacuum insulation has not been compromised (e.g., by dropping).

Difficulty pressing the Autoseal button

Check the lid for blockages or residue. Disassemble the lid (hinge it open) and clean thoroughly. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.

Mug has an odor

Hand wash the mug body thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For the lid, ensure it is opened fully and cleaned with a small brush if necessary. Allow both parts to air dry completely with the lid open.
