Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug
$14.95
Item qualifies for annual
REI Member Refund (typically 10%)
What to do with 28,000 lbs. worth of water bottles? That's what we found ourselves asking when we pulled polycarbonate bottles from the shelves due to growing concerns over BPA.
- Rather than send 7 railroad cars full of thousands of bottles to landfills, we teamed up with Aladdin® to create the recycled and repurposed eCycle® travel mug
- Double-walled mug places repurposed polycarbonate in the outer body where it is completely out of contact with your beverage
- All food contact surfaces are 100% BPA free, including the inner body, which is made with recycled polypropylene
- Altogether the mug is made from 85% recycled content and 30% post consumer content
- Sized to fit in most car cup holders, the mug travels easily to work or class; flip-top lid closes securely to limit spills en route
- Double-wall construction keeps beverages warm
- Mug is dishwasher safe and microwave safe; remove lid before microwaving
Imported.

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
*Keeps drinks warm for a very long time.
*Won't find a more environmentally friendly mug
*Extremely durable (think Nalgene strong, obviously)
*I cannot get it to leak (it was the first thing I attempted to do when I got home from buying it)
*Simple to clean, no small nooks and crannies for germs to make home.
*MICROWAVE & DISHWASHER SAFE!!!
*Aesthetically an aluminum one might be a bit cooler looking but they won't beat it out in the above categories or even compare to some

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I love this mug! It's leak-proof, given that you properly close the thing. It's pretty light, as compared to the other bulkier REI mugs. I accidentally dropped it from the third-floor of my apartment building and it didn't break! It keeps hot liquids warm for a good amount of time...and I fill it up with regular cool water if I need it to function as a water bottle for the rest of the day. Also, it's BPA free (even though the store labels were a bit confusing). Overall, a great buy!

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
Why I love this mug:
+ Does not leak!!!
+ Can close with mouth piece orientated for both R handed and L handed drinking
+ Easy to close and open (meaning I don't struggle getting the top on tightly, and it doesn't get stuck when it is on tightly)
+ Easy to clean (both in dish washer and by hand)
+ Fits into car cup holder
+ Great feel
Only issue I have with it is that the pointy bit in the flip top does poke me in the nose. But I don't find it that annoying; especially given all of the other good things about the mug.
I have not had an issue with my drink getting cold... but then again it doesn't take me more than 20 min to drink 16oz of tea anyway.

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I was so excited about this travel mug. I had been searching for the perfect one and I thought I had found it. However, this mug leaks ALL the time, the mouth piece doesn't line up properly and it doesn't fit in my cup holder, especially with the ridges on the bottom of the cup. I have given it many chances to live up to my expectations...I am very disappointed.

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I have a cupboard full of travel mugs accumulated over the years, and now I use this one almost exclusively. It's super-durable, nice-looking and holds a generous serving of whatever beverage you're enjoying. The seals of the lid all fit tightly without making the lid too hard to remove. Love that I can put it in the dishwasher!

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I love the idea of this mug - recycled, without the bad plastics, and it is sturdy. But the design is just so flawed I am returning it. After numerous attempts to line up the drinking hole to be in the right relation to the handle, I give up; the flip-top is a great idea, but there is a little molded plastic point sticking straight up on the underside, which is perfectly aligned with my nose!! (And I have a small one).

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
This is an attractive mug that I expected would serve me well.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
First, the wavy bottom makes the mug fall over in every cup holder I've placed it in; it's completely unstable. When driving, I have to keep one hand on it all the time or else I'll have coffee all over the car.
Second, the mouth opening doesn't line up correctly to be able to drink without contorting yourself. I've tried and tried, but the hole never goes in the right place. How stupid.
Third, the spout cover is difficult to flip open. I can't do it with just one hand. And it's hard to snap it so that it stays open, rather than the cover flopping onto your nose when you're drinking.
Finally, and most important to me, IT HAS **NO THERMAL ABILITIES** AT ALL! My coffer is COLD in less than 15 minutes! It's worse than a regular coffee cup. It's not even as good as a styrofoam cup.
I'm greatly disappointed and I am returning it.

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
First, it seems leakproof. Push the flapper on tight and you can shake hot liquids without fear!
It's tough--I've dropped mine multiple times from several feet and it hasn't broken or cracked. (I was able to sand the edge smooth where concrete dug in. My bad and my fix!)
Doesn't fit in my '91 Honda cup holders, but does fit in newer auto's bigger cup holders. (Time for a new car anyway.)
Do you have a nose? Get used to tilting your head back further and bending your neck more or you'll be wiping your nose off every time you take a drink.
Lid is tight...too tight? I have carpal-tunnel challenges, so, when filled with liquid, with the lid sealed in place,

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I thought I'd found the travel mug for me, finally, after a lot of duds. But as much as I like that it's made from recycled plastics, etc. It hasn't fit a single cup holder I've tried it in. Kind of ruins the "travel" aspect of the mug. Not to mention thousands of travel mugs that don't fit cup holders aren't all that green if they're going to need replacing. The search goes on.

Comments about Aladdin eCycle Recycled and Repurposed Travel Mug:
I had such high hopes for this mug. I was looking for a dishwasher-safe coffee mug because I was tired of hand washing my old one. Unfortunately this mug - though it's easy to clean and ostensibly "green" - does not keep beverages warm, nor does it keep beverages from leaking out. It's impossible to close tightly enough to prevent leaks, and hot beverages get cold in literally 20 minutes. For me a thermal travel mug that has no thermal properties and is unable to travel without leaking is pretty useless.
