Full Review

If your morning routine always starts (and ends) with a hot cup of joe, you’ll be pleased to meet the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz. Of course, you can use it for other beverages like tea, lemonade, or apple juice (carbonated drinks are not recommended). But we’ve found it to excel most as a portable coffee mug—keeping that liquid gold warm all morning whether we’re at work or on the go.

Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz with Coffee

We’ve been testing the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz for about three weeks with mostly good things to report.

Let’s get to it.

Features & Usage

Stanley has been around for a long time—since 1913, to be exact—and we appreciate the way their Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz marries classic design with modern functionality. Especially with the Hammertone Green colorway we’ve been testing with. We’re digging its earthy vibe that reminds us of campsites, the smell of pine, and simpler times.

At the time of this review, this bottle is also available in four other different colorways—some of which have a more sleek, modern aesthetic if that’s more your style.

The Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is made with durable 18/8 stainless steel that doesn’t hold onto coffee smells or stains. It also touts double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps your coffee or tea hot all morning. Stanley claims it’ll keep drinks warm for up to five hours, and we’re happy to report that this has been a pretty accurate estimate during our testing. It’s done a great job of keeping our java warm enough to savor all morning.

It will also keep drinks cold if you’re in the mood for iced coffee or water. That said, at 12oz, we’ve found the capacity to be a little too small to use as a water bottle. If you’re looking to carry more water and want to stay in the Stanley realm, perhaps check out the Stanley Classic Easy Clean Water Bottle 25oz .

And, weighing in at .68 lbs (or roughly 10.8 oz) empty, the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is relatively lightweight. Now, it’s not ultralight by any means but it is lighter than some other insulated stainless steel bottles we’ve tested of the same size. ( The YETI Rambler 12oz Bottle With HotShot Cap , for example, weighs 16 oz empty.)

Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz Lid Off

The thing that sets this Stanley mug apart, we think, is its trigger-action lid. With a push-button that stays sealed until you press it, it’s great at preventing leaks if (let’s be honest, when ) it falls over. To get the liquid flowing, you just push down on the trigger button, tip, and enjoy. It’s so easy you can do it with one hand. (This mug makes anyone a coffee-drinking pro.)

We’ve been tossing this mug into our packs, turning it in every direction, knocking it over (both on accident and on purpose), and we haven’t had any leaks so far—the lid stays sealed. Obviously, this is a pro as you don’t have to worry about spills. But we’ve also found it to be a con too—it’s difficult to let that piping hot coffee vent, unless you remove the lid completely. Every now and then we get a sip of coffee or tea that’s almost too hot. This isn’t a deal-breaker, but sometimes it’s a tongue-burner.

Thanks to this lid, the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz is becoming one of our favorites we’ve tested so far. It may sound small, but not having to fuss with twisting or removing a lid is super convenient—you can grab a sip quick and easy with one hand. This feature really shines while driving (or sitting on the couch swiping through Pack Hacker Instagram stories). And its leak-resistance means you should be safe to keep this thing on your desk near your precious tech (we have been anyway).

Plus, the lid is easy to take apart when in need of a wash. Just untwist the top lid, turn the handle underneath the lid, and pull. The inner piece should come right out. Then throw all three pieces of the mug in the dishwasher (yeah, it’s dishwasher safe) and voila—it’s ready for the next use. We’ve also been washing the mug by hand, however, the lid is not as easy to clean this way as others we’ve tested. There are some small spaces inside the cap that are a little difficult to reach. It’s not a deal-breaker, especially since everything is dishwasher safe, but it’s something to note.

Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz Cap Apart

Something else we want to note is that there’s no handle on the outside of this mug. So you can’t clip it to your pack with a carabiner or hook it around a finger if your hands are full but you can’t not bring the coffee. It also keeps the profile of this mug sleek. And since it’s highly leak-resistant, you can toss it in a water bottle pocket—or directly inside your pack—when needed.

As far as durability is concerned, everything is looking good. Like we said at the beginning of this review, we’ve been testing the Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug 12oz every day for about three weeks now—mainly to savor our daily dose of coffee. And there are no scratches or dents to report. We haven’t dropped it down any rocky cliffs, but it’s held up well to normal, daily use.

Usage Timeline

Condition: Excellent

  • Trigger activated lid lets you control the flow of liquid
  • Lid seals when not in use to prevent links and splashes
  • Made of sturdy stainless steel

We’ve been loving the trigger cap on this! It’s great for one-handed coffee drinking. This is especially great while driving. You can just pick it up and drink. Other coffee thermoses still have a small opening that hot coffee can splash up through and this just eliminates that problem.

Still loving it, but the lid has been a little hard to clean. We had luck getting in there with a q-tip to clean the tight spaces.

stanley travel mugs

Stanley thermo mugs are one of the most popular thermo mugs at least in my view. The Stanley Classic Trigger-Action thermo travel mug is very popular and has been tested several times. And more recently, the new Stanley NeverLeak has been created as an updated version.

Stanley travel mug lids

Heat resistance comparison, conclusions on stanley travel mugs.

In this article, let’s compare the two Stanley mugs. Let’s find out how they differ and which one to choose.

Stanley brand

Stanley has been producing very high quality thermal products since 1914. As I’ve mentioned in articles before, Stanley is a well trusted brand when it comes to quality vacuum isolation products. Not only quality is important to the brand, but also sustainability and the opportunity to protect nature. 

Stanley thermo travel mugs are able to provide long-term thermal resistance of the drink and are very convenient for everyday use. They are available in several sizes with very high quality paint. Although these thermo mugs are available in a variety of colors, their characteristic color is earthy green.

The best thermoses are from Stanley, the Contigo, and the Thermos brand. There are other brands that make good Thermoses .

Travel mug design

The biggest difference between the Stanley Trigger-Action and NeverLeak travel mugs is their lid. Both have a body of the same size and design. The range of Stanley Trigger-Action travel  mugs is available in green, black, white, red, navy blue and a new color – bright orange. NeverLeak travel mugs in addition to black and green are also available in light blue and bronze.

The design of the travel mug itself is simple, but very high quality in appearance. It is made of stainless steel and has a high-quality paint finish.

Green and light blue travel mugs have a rough texture. It is very comfortable to hold and does not slip out of your hands. Travel mugs in white and black are matt. They also have a slightly rough texture. The red, bronze, dark blue travel mugs have a smooth and slightly shiny color that is just as high quality and thick.

Overall, the Stanley Trigger-Action and NeverLeak travel mugs have a very simple design with no extra features.

trigger action stanley neverleak

As I already mentioned, the biggest difference between the two Stanley travel mugs is the lid.

Stanley Trigger-Action

The Stanley Trigger-Action travel mug (on the right) is very handy when driving, as it is possible to drink from it with just one hand. The lid of the travel mug has a button that opens when pressed. The Trigger-Action travel mug is leak-proof. It can be tipped over, carried in a bag and the contents will not spill out. However some customers have complained that leaks do happen when the lid gets pressed accidentally in the bag.

The Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is one of their most popular travel mugs. This mug has double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps your drinks hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 10 hours. It is made of durable 18/8 stainless steel and can withstand any adventure.

Stanley NeverLeak

That’s why Stanley created the NeverLeak Travel Mug (on the left), which is 100% leak-proof. They have a switch mechanism that can be opened by sliding the top cover of the lid. If it is pushed completely, its contents will not spill out. However, I noticed that sliding it to the wrong side does not close the lid completely. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that it is properly sealed. 

Although NeverLeak is 100% leak proof, it is unavoidable to use both hands, which is not as comfortable as Trigger-Action mugs.

stanley travel mugs

The design of Stanley Trigger-Action mugs is higher, with curves and special shapes. For Stanley NeverLeak mugs the lid has a very simple design and has the same diameter as the bottom of the thermos.

One of the most popular travel mugs of NeverLeak is the Legacy NeverLeak Travel Mug. This mug has a unique 3-position lid that rotates open for easy sipping and locks tight when closed, ensuring your drink stays inside. It is also outfitted with thicker-than-usual steel for durability and QuadVac insulation for better thermal protection.

Legacy NeverLeak Travel Mug can keep your drinks hot for up to 9 hours, cold for up to 12 hours, or iced for up to 40 hours.

Another option is the Classic Neverleak Travel Mug. This mug features a unique 3-position lid that rotates open for easy sipping and locks tight when closed, ensuring your drink stays inside. It is also outfitted with thicker-than-usual steel for durability and Stanley’s signature vacuum insulation that keeps your coffee or tea hot.

It is known I love writing reviews on the quality of the heat resisting products and vacuum isolation. You can check out my article The Amazing Stanley Thermos – review to find out more on the performance of Stanley thermos. 

However, here let’s continue the review on Stanley travel mugs. Stanley promises the same heat resistance for both travel mugs. The 470ml mug cups can keep hot for up to 7 hours and cold for up to 10 hours. However the 350ml travel mug cups are indicated to keep the drink hot for up to 5 hours and cold for 8 hours.

So far, there have been tests performed for the Stanley Trigger-Action 470ml travel mug. In it water was poured into the mug at 97 °C (206.6 °F) and the water temperature in the travel mug was measured every 2 hours. At the end of the Stanley Trigger-Action heat resistance test , it was concluded that the travel mug is able to keep the drink warm at 45 °C (113 ° F) even after 12 hours.

Although there are not many differences between Stanley Trigger-Action and Stanley NeverLeak travel mugs, their advantages and disadvantages can affect the purchase.

The main PROS of the Trigger-Action travel mug:

  • Comfortable to drink with the help of one hand;
  • Wider range of colors and sizes available.

The main CONS of the Trigger-Action travel mug:

  • Not 100% leak proof.

The main PROS of the Neverleak travel mug:

  • 100% leak proof;
  • New colors to choose from.

The main CONS of the Neverleak travel mug:

  • A little more challenging to open.

So here are the main takeaways from the reviews.

Review: this classic Stanley coffee press is a rugged and dependable caffeine companion

This device can make an acceptable brew with one secret hack.

When I think of Stanley thermoses, I think of the people who built America — hardworking, blue-collar men and women like my grandpa Frank. He lived in a Polish-Catholic enclave in Toledo, Ohio, and worked at the Autolite factory. He and my grandma lived next to her sister Rose, who was married to my Great Uncle Jim, a former tank commander on D-3 at Normandy. I spent a considerable part of my childhood at my grandparents’ home, and remember my grandmother’s soft scrambled eggs and my grandpa’s Stanley thermos on the table, filled with piping hot black coffee, complete with its banged-up Hammertone Green patina and shiny silver screw-on cap and the memorable winged and crowned bear logo.

If you dig all-steel, double-walled vacuum bottles, we have William Stanley to thank. He invented the wonderfully rugged and efficient containers in 1913 and they’ve been keeping hard-working people stoked for more than a century. Prior to his innovation, thermoses were typically lined with glass, which was awesome until they broke and scattered deadly shards in your brew. (Note for Marines: Don’t eat glass. Crayons good. Glass bad.) So good ol’ Bill Stanley came up with the Char-Vac that packed charcoal dust between two stainless steel walls to create vacuum insulation. This method made the bottles heavier and a bit bulkier, but the tech lasted until Stanley opted to discontinue the Char-Vac and thicken the outer steel walls in 2009, which created a lighter bottle that wasn’t as rugged. So they introduced a Master Series in 2017 with a Quad-Vac design that delivered both performance and durability.   

Americans know Stanley makes a great thermos, but can the company make a great travel coffee press? Pour a cup of Joe, dear reader, and let’s find out.

Stanley classic travel mug French press

Stanley Classic Travel Mug French Press, 16 oz

The 16 oz Stanley classic travel mug French press came in a no-frills recycled cardboard (yay!) shipping box. When I unscrewed the top lid, it revealed a leak-proof drink-through lid, and when I unscrewed the entire cap, I found a green plastic and stainless steel mesh plunger and set of instructions. I appreciated the simple, no extraneous bullshit introduction. And I loved that it didn’t have any single-use plastic packaging or marketing materials. The Stanley is made of quality 18/8 stainless steel (same as great razor blades), weighs 1.1 pounds, is 9.6 inches tall, and 3 inches in diameter. It has an integrated stainless steel carry loop and is car cup carrier-compatible. Stanley advertises that the French press will keep hot things hot for four hours, cold things cold for five hours, and iced things icy for 20 hours.

The Stanley classic travel mug French press

How we tested the Stanley classic travel mug French press

I established five basic criteria for evaluating the Stanley classic travel mug French Press:

  • Thermal efficiency – could it keep hot things hot and cold things cold as advertised?
  • Portability
  • Ease of use
  • Delivery – could it produce a delicious cup of coffee without silty or sludgy crap at the bottom of the cup?

I used it exclusively for a week to make my post-workout morning brew and tinkered with various coffee grinds, coffee and water ratios, water temperatures, and brew times. I always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to a T on the first test, and then tinker to dial things in to get the best brew. 

The Stanley classic travel mug French press

Before we get into the Stanley’s performance, you need to understand a few things about French press coffee. First, the French press, or more properly cafetiere , requires an immersion technique, as opposed to drip brewers. (That crappy Mr. Coffee on your kitchen counter is, essentially, a drip brewer, and it sucks. So go sit in the corner and think about what you have done!) In the immersion technique, your coffee and water hang out in the same chamber for a while to extract the goodness from the coffee beans. You manually stop the extraction by pressing down on a plunger which pushes a filter, typically stainless steel mesh, through the vessel to separate the grounds from your beverage. In drip or pour-over brewing, moving coffee is poured through a bed of coffee and pulled by gravity through a filter and into a collection vessel. With immersion brewers, like the AeroPress or French press, you generally get a more full, round flavor. With drip brewing, you generally get a lighter brew with a bit more acidity and clarity.

Without overcomplicating it, brewing great coffee comes down to several key elements:

  • High-quality, properly roasted beans (fresh ground preferred)
  • Pure water (no chlorine!) 
  • The right grind for the technique (coarse to extra fine espresso)   
  • The right water to coffee ground ratio
  • The right water temperature
  • The right amount of brewing time to allow for proper extraction

There’s more to it, but I’ll stop there.

Test 1: Thermal efficiency. Per Stanley’s instructions, I put 4 tablespoons (56 grams) of coffee into the vessel (seems like a lot, I know!), filled the mug (about 450 grams) with hot water just off the boil (195 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit), let the coffee brew for six minutes (seemed way too long), plunged, tasted, took a temperature reading, and screwed on the cap. At time (T) = 0 minutes, the surface temperature of the liquid was 175 degrees Fahrenheit. I checked the temperature four hours later with my laser thermometer, and the temperature was 130 degrees Fahrenheit, a loss of 45 degrees. During that time, I used my thermometer to detect where the greatest heat loss was coming from and found it was at the point where the stainless steel met the plastic cap. No surprises there. While 130-degree coffee isn’t exactly hot, it wasn’t an unpleasant temperature to drink, but the flavor of the coffee was way over-extracted, bitter, and unpalatable.

The Stanley classic travel mug French press

Next, I put cold water into the vessel. At T=0, the water was 44.4 F. Five hours later, I measured it at 61.7F, a gain of 17.3 degrees. It was cool, but not cold. Not so impressive.

Lastly, I removed the plunger basket, filled the vessel with ice, measured it, and screwed on the cap. At T=0, the temperature was 30.9F, and at T=20 hours, the temperature was 31.5F — impressive!

Finding: The Stanley Classic French press adequately meets their 4-, 5-, and 20-hour marks, and excels at keeping iced things cold, which is odd for a coffee press that’s supposed to keep coffee hot. Better design of the cap to container interface could improve the thermal retention of the product.

Test 2: Portability. If you’ve read my reviews, you know I’m always looking for lighter, more effective, and cheaper gear to take on long-distance backpacking trips. At 1.1 pounds (500 grams), the Stanley Classic French Press Travel Mug is way too heavy for me to carry in a backpack for several days. I would, however, take it on trips — whether camping or on travel — where weight isn’t an issue. It fit nicely in the cupholder of my truck and in the pocket of my leather briefcase/laptop bag. I didn’t find the stainless steel carry loop to be terribly useful, but some folks like to clip things to the outside of their packs so they can swing and bang, and that’s your prerogative, but I can’t stand it. (Rant over). 

Test 3: Ease of use. Mechanically, French presses are Marine-proof. With only two essential parts, they’re simple and don’t require a lot of dexterity to properly manipulate. While I wish the plunger basket had a beefier gasket to reduce the number of grinds slipping by into the brew, it was a snap to clean up afterward. 

Test 4: Capacity . An average cup of coffee is about eight ounces or so, and the Stanley packs 16 ounces or two cups. That’s worth carrying. 

Test 5: Delivery. Most baristas recommend a coffee to water ratio of about 1:16 (60 to 70 grams per liter), a fairly coarse grind, and a four-minute brew time for French press brewing for best effects. The recipe from Stanley was, “Add approximately 2 tablespoons of coarse ground coffee per 8 oz of hot water (approximately 200F or 93C).” First off, don’t measure in tablespoons. It’s too inaccurate. Use grams and weigh your stuff for consistency. It really helps to buy a digital food scale to assist with accurate measurement. They’re cheap and worth it. Two tablespoons of coffee are about 10.6 grams. One fluid ounce of water is 29.6 grams or so. The Stanley recipe calls for 21.2 grams of coffee per 473.6 grams of water or a ratio of 1:22, which is a bit light. A 1:16 ratio would put us at 30 grams or so for 473 grams (16 ounces) of water. The Stanley-recommended recipe result was ok but not spectacular. After I sealed up the lid and let the coffee sit for four hours, the temperature was warm but not hot and the taste was bitter. Leaving the coffee sitting on the grounds over-extracted the grinds and made it undrinkable. Gross.

I played around with the coffee and water ratios. The coarser grind at a 1:16 ratio (30 grams) and a four- to six-minute brew tasted much better. I also tried a medium fine grind at 22 grams and cut the brew time from four to two minutes and achieved a much better brew. 

The beauty of the French press is that you are in control of the extraction and can experiment to achieve a brew to your preferred taste.

The Stanley classic travel mug French press

And here’s the #ProTip: Don’t ever leave the coffee resting atop the grinds in the French press. Doing so will over-extract the grinds over time and leave you with a bitter-tasting coffee. A quick hack to improve the performance of the Stanley is to brew it, pour it into another container, remove the basket plunger, rinse out the grounds, pour the coffee back in, twist on the cap, and hit the road. It only takes 20 seconds or so, achieves a better-tasting coffee, and, damn it, you’re worth it!

Another #ProTip: Coffee grind size and brew time are related. Coarser grind equals less surface area which requires more brew time to extract the coffee. Finer grind equals more surface area which requires less brew time to extract the coffee.

What we like about the Stanley classic travel mug French press

I’ve got a soft spot in my cold, black heart for Stanley. They make rugged products that have served generations of blue-collar workers like my grandparents. The Classic Travel Mug French Press is (fairly) thermally efficient, portable, easy to use, has sufficient capacity, and I was able to produce a solid cup of coffee with it after a few trials and tweaks. I loved the design aesthetics and ergonomics as well. It felt good in my hand, had a cool-looking winged bear logo, and brought back some fond childhood memories. The plastic basket plunger was easy to manipulate. I would like to see a more robust gasket on the plunger filter basket, but the gasket and stainless steel mesh filter did a better-than-average job of keeping grinds and grit out of the brew when compared to other French presses I’ve used. And the Stanley was a snap to clean up afterwards. It’s a well-designed French press at a nice price. At $35, this is a well-built value purchase, and I’ve seen a lot of overpriced stainless steel double vacuum products out there these days.

The Stanley classic travel mug French press

What we don’t like about the Stanley classic travel mug French press

I’d like to have experienced better heat retention over time. I measured a 45-degree drop over four hours, and that’s not that great. Was the coffee still warm? Yes. Hot? Not so much. While it performed great with keeping iced beverages cold over 20 hours, this is supposed to be a hot coffee carrying device. A better cap-to-metal body interface is needed as that is where I measured the most heat loss with my laser thermometer. I also thought the coffee recipe in the instructions was off. I’m a big fan of award-winning coffee expert James Hoffman’s technique and 1:16 ratio recommendation . 

The Stanley Classic Travel Press is a good buy in my book for those who are looking for a cool coffee travel mug. It’s hefty, so I won’t be taking it on my next 60-plus mile multi-day Appalachian Trail trek, but I will be tossing it in my kayak or in my climbing pack for my next trek to the crags. Heck, I’d even take it along on day hikes, too. 

Saved rounds

I wanted to make sure I was being fair with the heat loss observation, so I replicated the tests. I filled the vessel with hot water, measured it to be 187F with a kitchen thermometer, waited four hours and remeasured. The T=4 hours time was 142F, a drop of 45 degrees.
