Trudeau "boardroom" travel mug

Submitted by Ken C

I have had the Trudeau "boardroom" travel mug for almost two years and love it. This is no boardroom item - although it looks great and drinks great, it is tough as nails. Mine has a couple of pretty good dings in it and the lip is a little rough in one spot from sliding down the side of a mountain, but it keeps my coffee hot in winter and - most importantly - it keeps the coffee in the mug (as long as I remembered to twist the top shut).

The mug was a gift from my wife and she purchased it at Starbucks and I wanted to get one for my wife for Valentines but they do not carry them any longer. After two+ hours of searching online today, I found this website and followed the trail of internet cookie crumbs to finally find one about 60 miles away. I like my cup so much that I will make that drive to buy her one. I could not find one at any of the online retailers that Trudeau lists on their website except LaPrima.com, but I did find them at Amazon.com and KlinQ.com – but I wanted it for tomorrow anyway so I am off to Cafeggio Coffee in San Antonio to pick it up.

Now, if Trudeau could just come up with a way to remind me to twist the lid shut...

ED -- Ken, I assume this is the mug you're talking about.  You're right, finding one can be a challenge.  In addition, I noticed it only comes in two colors; pink and avocado, and KlinQ was the only site to offer the avocado.  Nothing like taking a pink travel mug on route recon :)

I have the handless model and I agree it is the best travel mug I have ever used. It is really a bit more than a travel mug since it has thermos aspects to it as well.

The best feature is the lid that is really closed when it is closed. Not some little hole that gets covered or plugged, this is a drink from any direction lid that uses an internal gasketed disk that gets pressed up to seal the mug or popped down to allow the liquid inside out.

I bought mine at Target but you have to keep checking for it and check each of the separate 3 locations in the store they have "travel mugs".

Barnes & Noble carries these mugs in their cafes all the time. They come in black or red leather.

Hey Eric. I recently got one of these cups for a Fathers Day Gift from my girls. Right in the nick of time too as I had broken my favorite coffee cup that morning. My wife found it at BARNESandNOBLE Bookstore, in the Starbucks cafe inside. Apparently the Starbucks in a B & N in not run or owned by Starbucks, just sells their product. They had them in Red and Brown, and might have other colors.

LAV,

Good to hear. For my part, I've had to resort to shopping on e-bay to pick up those old starbuck's chubbies.
