Our take on the Zojirushi GoCafe 20 oz Insulated Mug

The Zojirushi GoCafe is a 20 oz stainless steel vacuum-insulated mug built for commuting and desk use. It combines Zojirushi's vacuum insulation with a leak-proof lid and a slim, lightweight body that fits most car cup holders and bag pockets. Owners rate it highly for heat retention and a lid that does not drip. It is a strong pick over generic travel mugs, though it is a mug rather than a one-hand flip-lid tumbler.
