A good Thermos bottle, but it ain't a Mug!!Feb 29, 2008
By Nagronsky "Nagronsky"
I searched all over for a 20-oz Thermos E5 Travel mug. There's no such critter. Thermos lists this as a bottle. Target says it's a mug. I think the manufacturer probably knows more than Target. It's a darn good Thermos bottle, but if you want a mug, this isn't one!
Thermos doesn't say it is a mug, but an "Insulated Beverage Bottle", just go to the Thermos website, click Element 5 and click Beverage Bottles, or here's a link [...]
Why is it that Target, and thanks to Target, Amazon are the only vendors who call this a mug?

misrepresentationFeb 01, 2008
By M. Ann Hagins
The item that I received is a good quality item but it is not what it was advertised as. It is a thermos but it is not a mug. I was lookin specifically for a mug that could be used for drinking coffee while driving to work in the morning. This item does not fulfill that need. It seems to be a good product just not what I was looking for.

I ride my motorcycle to work most every day and the Thermos E5 allows me to get my Starbucks Venti coffee and enjoy it in the wee hours at the desk... great product!

Nice size, good temperature retention, but doubt some claims.Jan 15, 2010
By S. Long "QuakerProf"
I am an admitted insulated bottle addict and collector, much to my wife's dismay. I own two Nissan Stainless 18oz tumblers (with the flip-tab top), an older 16 oz "bullet bottle", a new 18 oz Raya bottle, and most recently this bottle from the E5 line. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted a new thermos, but when I read the web site's description (on [...]) that indicated that it had a 24 hour hot temperature retention capability vs. 12 hours in the Raya, I went for it.

It is a sturdy bottle, and I like that I don't have to deal with water getting under the "comfort grip" in the middle of the Raya bottle's exterior when I wash it in the sink (never wash thermos containers in the dishwasher). I also like that it's steady when standing because of its wide base, and a bit shorter than the Raya but holding 20 oz instead of 18. The clip on the side could also be useful, although it jangles against the metal when not in use. However, I'm beginning to doubt the 24 hour claim, as things seem to cool off a bit more quickly vs. the Raya, and the "low mass" lid is code for it not being insulated. When screwed on, this should speed up heat loss, and when in use as a cup, the same applies to the liquid in the cup, which is basically plastic. The stopper and bottle are the same design as other containers, though, so perhaps that is all that is needed to block heat loss.

As with several other thermos containers, I worry about the presence of the plastic bottom. Water from sink washing must get in there, and there is no outlet hole (the 18 oz travel tumblers have a soft rubber bottom and an exit hole so you can push out any water that enters). So, the jury is still out for me on this one.

UPDATE: I've owned the bottle for a while now, and water does not appear to collect in the base. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance, but I am still concerned about the company's lack of attention to how the outer fittings of their bottles will fare over time. In the case of this bottle, the problem appears to be the just-for-looks orange band around the top section of the bottle. Because of the way the stainless steel curves to meet the orange band, dirt built up from hand oil collects there and is difficult to remove. Simple is always better- the value is in the vacuum insulation, and the decorative details from Thermos often get in the way- as if they are added by creative marketing types without any contribution from quality control folks or engineers. Simple heat transfer equations rule insulation design, but that doesn't stop marketing ninnies from messing things up.

What Thermos or the vendor could do to answer my concerns would be to post the temperature retention charts for all models online. So, given the same room temperature, same priming process (pre-warming the bottles), and same initial liquid temperature and quantity, what is the temperature of the water in each after 1 hour, 2, 3, etc up to the claimed limits and beyond? I could do this myself, but I should have to, since the company certainly does so itself. Otherwise, the "12 hour" and "24 hour" claims don't mean much to consumers.

Also, as many reviewers have noted, this is not a mug. I knew this from the photo and reviews, but some may not. It is very much a beverage bottle with a twist-and-seal cap with the standard Thermos pour-channels (twist part way open to poor, limiting heat loss). Not a mug, but really, the mugs lose tremendous amounts of heat by sacrificing lid integrity, anyway, so they only make sense for car commuters. As a bicycle commuter, this is the best option for me by far.

Convenient and sturdyMay 09, 2008
By Rescued By Grace
In preparation for travel in parts of the world where the only drinkable water is boiled water, I set out in search of the right water bottle that could both (a) contain hot water without burning my hands and (b) attach to my backpack. I had been using a plastic Nalgene before, but the issue of leeching chemicals (particularly with hot water) became a concern. There were the convenient stainless steel (or aluminum) water bottles, but those conduct heat so intensely that you can't put anything too warm into them. I needed a thermos, but the problem was that most thermoses on the market didn't have a hook that could attach to a backpack--since most people use their thermos in their cars or at on office.

This Thermos E5 20-Oz. Travel Mug (really a bottle) was the perfect fit for all that I was looking for. It's the right size (neither too big nor too small), it has a metal loop (and includes a carabiner), it insulates very well, and it is both safe and nearly indestructible (made completely from stainless steel, inside and out).

There's also a couple perks: (1) The cap (top of the bottle) screws off to become a small cup to pour into, particularly helpful if drinking hot liquids. (2) The screw top (below the cap) has two "pour" arrows written on the top. You don't need to unscrew the entire thing to drink out of the bottle--you need simply to unscrew it slightly, and you can pour the liquid out in the direction of one of the "pour" arrows. I find this system to be perfect for somebody who wants something airtight yet also convenient to take constant drinks out of.

All in all, this thermos bottle comes highly recommended; though if you can get it at your local Target store, it's a few dollars cheaper than on [...], and you don't have to pay for shipping. The only problems I have with the bottle are: (1) It's not a mug, so the product title can be confusing. (2) The screw top that holds the liquid inside is made of plastic. For those of you who drink a lot of warm liquids, I'm not sure whether the plastic on the bottom of the screw top will eventually leech. I imagine not, but that's something I wouldn't mind if Thermos changed in the future.
