We are working on a lid that comes apart for better cleaning. <br />I have included a tip that may be helpful. Sprinkle some baking soda in the upside down lid and then add an ounce of lemon juice. The chemical reaction sweetens the whole inside of the lid. Rinse the lid with hot water and let dry, the hot water will clear out anything the baking soda and lemon didn't reach."Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-76264073897612215502012-05-01T17:16:12.897+00:002012-05-01T17:16:12.897+00:00Thanks, Mark, glad to hear it.

But I guess it's well worth it, for the mechanism works great and makes it a lot safer than most mugs.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-90493441084661596512012-05-01T06:29:52.326+00:002012-05-01T06:29:52.326+00:00Somewhat late to the party - I recalled this threa...Somewhat late to the party - I recalled this thread when needing to replace the other brand mugs that weren't working properly. My wife and I now have a Contigo each and they keep the drinks hot, without spilling.

But th...Yes, exactly! I thought Thermos was king. <br /><br />But the Thermos eats *so* much heat. Even after pre-heating it with boiled water for three minutes, no less, I still had to heat the milk when making tea. If I did that with the Contigo, the tea would scald me for at least an hour.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-65989742660612439722011-10-08T08:33:58.310+00:002011-10-08T08:33:58.310+00:00Strange that Thermos would let itself be outdone b...Strange that Thermos would let itself be outdone by a competitor when it was Thermos that originally<br />made it big with glass vacuum bottles held in place inside a metal casing decades ago. They were fragile in the sense that dropping it could break the glass, which was relatively thin, but if cared for, they worked like a charm for years.<br /><br />The reason workers' lunch-buckets had a curved 'roof' like a little barn was because the Thermos fitted into that upper half of the lunch-bucket, held there by a folding 'U'-shaped wire.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907196995170423475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-38671856187131884202011-10-05T19:04:45.278+00:002011-10-05T19:04:45.278+00:00Cool!
