Westfalia Coffee Travel Mug from Highway One Coffee.

Timwhy

Thought you coffee drinker would like this one. Highway One is selling a Westfalia
Tumbler. Pretty cool looking!! I know that $35 is alot of beans for a travel mug
but where else are you going to find a Westy mug.

I like them although they are certainly aiming at the 70s bay folks with the plaids. The first vehicle I owned was an orange '74 westy and it had the plaid upholstery of the middle one.

Yeah, it looks ok, but with that tiny base, it's just gonna fall over any time you change direction, or shift, or slow down........

Funny this came up while I'm getting irritated at the number of pricey travel mugs coming apart in my life. 3 of them with the stainless insert have pulled the screws out of the plastic bases. I note that this one has a stainless steel base, so somebody was thinking. These 3 1-year life travel mugs cost me at least $50 total and they all hit the N. Idaho landfill in the last month. Makes $35 seem reasonable.

Ah noooo !!!

Notice the design flaw on the top which might lead to a leaky head gasket ??!

I wonder if you can get one made by by ford and wrap the custom westy insert around it ?

or better yet, GW could design around the mug to improve coffee pouring performance.. Put a couple heavy duty bumpers and some progressive lift coils and boy howdy, you could have a 1000 dollar mug.

done..

pretty nice mug..

You're right. It looks like they used a rubber O ring that's susceptible to attack from coffee after it is 6 hours old! Criminy! When you go to try and pull the lid off, I bet the stainless part sticks to it and comes out as well.

Wasn't there like a ten page rant about mixing stainless steel and liquids with your Vanagon??

^ Excellent Point!

I drink Petes Coffee and if it will eat through the seam on the cup I can imagine what it will do to a rubber O ring. Laughing

As a group...you guys are twisted!

Funny..but seriously twisted.

I think I'll order two...one for parts.

Good call. Then you can leave the parts one out in the side yard covered with a blue tarp and with mint soaked cotton balls all around it to keep the mice out....

Let us know how it works. $35 is ok if it will actually hold up. All of mine leak and fall apart after a short period of time.
