Leak-proof!

I am, as alluded to previously rather partial to Nero’s Black Grande Americano in my opinion Nero’s is London’s best coffee chain, renowned for their ‘double shot’. Unfortunately I am also slightly renowned for my clumsiness and often spill said (hot!) coffee over myself on the walk back to the office.

I had been looking for a travel cup that could be sealed (as opposed to the less than sturdy lids on standard travel cups) and came across the Thermos Leakproof Travel Cup [below], this provides as the name implies a leakproof method of transporting coffee and other hot beverages without danger to myself and others. Not show on the photo, is that it is provided with a carabiner so you can hang it from your backpack or other suitable location (ironically on the carabiner it stated ‘not for climbing’!)

Leak-proof Mug 14 Oz.

I had tried to obtain it within the UK and emailed Thermos directly for stockists, they pointed me in the direction of Amazon - who unfortunately no longer stock it (why!!). So I looked for US stockists who would ship to the UK and came across Thermos Onine - after shipping it cost a significant sum ($63.74/£33.54!! - it cost me more to ship than to buy…), however as with all gadgets once I get it in to my head I have to have it now!

The upshot is now I have it several colleagues and friends have enquired where to obtain one (I may be starting a trend, with people rakishly wearing their coffee mugs from their belts in the knowledge that they are safe from leaks!…)

So if anyone knows of a UK stockist or a US company that is able to provide it at a more reasonable cost - please let me know. I may have to start some kind of bulk purchase or import if I get any more interest.
