Burnout Tumbler – Slide Seal Lid

I was very excited to find out this mug exists, and even more so to receive it. This solves a big problem for me, as I no longer have to put the coffee in the fridge for a few minutes or leave my mug open in an attempt to let it cool to non nuclear levels. I’ve been using it nonstop since and can confirm it works fantastically and does exactly what it claims. Within a minute or so of pouring my coffee it’s sipable, and within a few minutes it’s drinkable and stays hot for hours. My only regret is not opting for the pop-top lid as the slide closure lid is downright aweful. Don’t misunderstand me, it works, doesn’t leak, but it’s just a terrible design. If your a Contigo mug user, might might remember their first gen lids, when they were difficult to clean. This lid is reminiscent of those first gens. Also it’s horribly non-ergonomic in design. The slide is not easy to use one handed, is not automatic, and the spout is a flat edge with no contour and just feels awkward to drink from. It’s not comfortable on the lips if that makes sense. Almost like your always trying to avoid drips while drinking from it. I much prefer the industry standard when the lid has a press/seal function, where you press a button to open and when you release it auto magically reseals. Hopefully the spout lid is better, and back in stock soon. I really hope they redesign the standard lid completely to and auto seal type. That would make this mug completely unbeatable.
