After we tested five highly-rated travel mugs, the Zojirushi came out on top by far, so if dad's looking for the perfect to-go cup, this is it. The stainless steel 16-ounce mug kept coffee piping hot at 139ºF after a whopping four hours, which was 30 degrees higher than the other models tested. Plus, it works equally well at keeping a drink cold, too! (I've personally forgotten my Zojirushi in a 90-degree car and found my drink was still ice-cold after five hours.)

The main pieces are also made by hand from stylish wood, so this will look great on any bathroom shelf.
