I appreciate your suggestion, and because you did nothing wrong, I've deleted each snarky reply that came out by reflex.
If you have a brand that doesn't leak, slosh, make my coffee taste like ass, or cost a shit ton of money, I'd take that suggestion far more seriously than
Because, duh.
Just use a thermos.

I can try a different kind of thermos again, why not.
Thank you, kind internet stranger.

ETA: That came out snarkier than I had intended. This is a problem that can be solved by buying new shit and risking it not working too. I'm just an idiot and an asshole. Sorry.
I have that one. It works decently. No handle but it's not hard to grip on the outside. You can put it in a bag without spilling coffee.
If it closes well enough that it can go in a bag or pocket, the handle doesn't matter as much. Thanks - since I don't go to many stores and I block as many ads as possible, I may have never known it existed.
ETA: I appreciate the suggestion and link. Something for me to look into, since I kinda do deserve nice things.
It probably falls into the "costs a shit ton" but some people recommend the fellow carter mug. I've never tried it myself, but apparently ceramic-coated insides are best for not affecting the taste of coffee. I think I also saw some kind of ceramic-coated travel mug at Starbucks too? Can't speak for how spill-proof either of those things are though
Yeah, I have one from Starbucks - it was a gift, and I don't know if they are all like this one - but the lid has a tendency to slosh and seep. At least it doesn't affect the flavor, tho! If I would just take half a cup, it would probably work - but then I have to go back more often.
I have a tendency to overlook the "shishi" brands (that cost more so you can have their logo? But what the hell, I don't even want a logo!) (Lol - conspicuous consumption kinda irks me) and don't have a ton to spend on expensive mugs one after another… but I guess I deserve nice things that let me live "normally," so maybe I should spend a shit ton on a single mug finally.
Anyway, thank you! Ceramic insides seem to be on my list of must-haves.
