Looking for help from the wise ones here.

I'm making a pre-New Year's effort to cut down on plastic and paper cups at the café, and this is something I want to buy once and get right.

My GF has the popular Zojirushi, but it's fussy to clean. The lid's rubber O-Ring gets lost all the time, and between the latch and lock there are too many crevices to get cruddy (not good if you drink things that are milk-based).

I'm looking for something that:
— keeps my drinks hot for at least my hour bike commute
— has a handle, this one is a must for non-bike commuting
— fits in my bottle holder
— is reasonably easy to clean
— is leak free and easy to drink from one handed... i.e. no complicated push-buttons for the lid.

Anyone have anything that fits the above that they love?

Check out the Arundel Looney Bin (http://www.arundelbike.com/product/looney-bin/). It's great for commuting with odd-shaped containers and would open up more options for insulated cups.

The only one I'll use, unless I'm camping, then I take the French press version.

My wife is happy with her Camelbak Forge (https://www.camelbak.com/en/drinkware/travel-mugs)in conjunction with the fore-mentioned Arundel Looney Bin. The Camelbak is about the fifth we (she uses, I buy) tried and the longest lasting thus far. Easy to clean, works well one handed and hasn't leaked.
