Received as a replacement to my tried and true Big Grip Camp Mug and I was stoked at first but now I’m so sad after a few uses. Still grateful Stanley tried to replace my OG discontinued, but it was a big downgrade. Obviously , this one is not spill proof (big grip was but it’s issue was plastic lid flap would break easily but I’d just periodically order new flap). This is a dealbreaker for me, my toddler knocks it over and I can’t risk hot coffee in it. :( The handle on this is so small and not ergonomic . This style is only great on the small thin camp mugs. I wish for the largest size, it was placed slightly lower. I loved the open handle style of the big grip and it didn’t dig in to your hand with the weight of a full cup if holding while walking, etc. If going with the newer trends why not just make it with a slim bottom to fit in cup holders and go all in ? That was the flaw of the big grip as well, but was outweighed by the greatness so I didn’t care. PLEASE ! just reconfigure the weak points of the Big Grip mug and bring it back. Spill proof, open handle grip, and a threaded lid- leave it just as it was, but with stronger components to the flap; You almost had it perfect. I had that mug for 8 years and used as my daily coffee mug even at home and gifted several to people who fawned over it.
