The Urban Gear Java (UG-DB114) sits between a travel mug and a regular desk mug. It has the spill proof lid of a commuter cup and the side handle of an ordinary coffee mug, so it is easy to drink from at a desk and easy to take along when you leave. It holds 450ml, which is a generous cup of coffee or tea, and the inside is hi-grade stainless steel.
The lid is made of ABS and opens with a flip mechanism, so you can open it with a thumb and close it again without unscrewing anything. The travel mug is listed as spill proof, which makes it a safer choice for a bag, a car seat or a crowded train. A polished silver band circles the rim, and below it the body is smooth and rounded with a glossy finish. The handle is a slim loop on the side, which keeps your fingers away from the body when it is full.
At 214 grams and 12 x 9 x 12 cm, Java travel mug is compact enough for most car cup holders and desk corners, though the handle adds to its width. It comes in two colors, black and white, and the handle matches the body color in each. A printed retail box is shown with the mug, which makes it easy to hand over as a gift.
The travel mug suits office staff, commuters, students and team members who switch between desks and meeting rooms, and it is suitable for customized corporate gifting for welcome kits, festive hampers and event giveaways.
