The $8 Munchkin 10oz Sippy Cup. It's technically made for toddlers but it excels over any other travel mug unless you want insulation. I don't care about insulation because I don't want to wait an hour until it's a good drinking temp. Instead of some stupid spout mechanism that gets dingy and can't be washed in the dishwasher, there's a simple silicone lid you can drink from on all sides, and it's all dishwasher safe and super easy to clean. It also contains a perforated screen perfect for steeping tea leaves or cardamom tea. Of course there's the brilliantly simple spillproof aspect as well. I've had mine for 4 years and there's zero wear on it.

You can hook the tiny handles on things too, which is nice when going hands-free.

Jokes aside, that's a pretty good idea.

I got the one without handles so it's just a round cup, fits in the car cupholders that way. There's a whole bunch of customizations like that though, you got handles, different sizes, colors, materials, even an insulated one, and all interchangeable parts from what I've seen. There's a stainless steel one that looks like any other travel mug.

They are interchangeable, my one year old uses a bunch. Thanks for tuning me onto the steel one, I'll have to check it out!!!

The handle thing was a bit of a joke, though the handles do hook on to stuff pretty well. I can hook it onto my belt when carrying the little one.
