Will not let you down

I am probably the only person out there that has yet to try a Contigo tumbler. I’ve always been interested but concerned about the ability to keep the lid clean given its sealing system to prevent leaks.

I was thrilled when Butterly and Contigo sent me their West Loop model for free to try! The timing was also perfect as I have been in the market for a new tumbler.

This newest West Loop model boasts a 100% leakproof and spill proof lid, this is accomplished not only by the press button feature Contigo is known for but the addition of a locking mechanism that prevents the button from being pushed and releasing your drink if in the locked position. It also has long temperature life with up to 11 hrs hot and 24 hrs cold. The lid is top rack dishwasher safe making it even easier to clean.

So I’ve been using the West Loop for about a week and I have to say I’m impressed overall. It holds true to the temperature control, with me preparing a coffee at 6 am and not drinking it until 11 am or later and still having a nice hot coffee to enjoy. Same goes for a cold drink, zero disappointment. It is easy to use, and easy to lock and unlock with one hand.

I was always fearful of the lid being difficult to clean but it’s not too bad. I will say that it is easier to clean in the dishwasher than by hand but I am still reserving full judgment until I’ve used it for a while, I am still not 100% convinced that due to the more complex lid design that it won’t build up drink residue in places causing an eventual negative impact on the drinks. For now though it is working great and cleaning up perfectly.

I received the white colour which actually has a beautiful iridescence to it which can be seen as the light hits it, making it really beautiful.

It is a great option for all day use, work or play, Contigo has you covered.
