Travel Mug Recommendation

I went back the last couple of pages and amazingly this hasn't been asked recently.

I'm a big fan of Contigo West Loop Autoseal mugs. However, they have one fatal flaw: the paint flakes off. I own several and they all look very poorly now even though the mug/lid still works great. I might take a wire brush to them but then they'll all look alike (some are for coffee, others for tea, etc).

Can anyone recommend a good vacuum seal mug with a similar push to sip mechanism?

The zojirushi is the business but it doesn't have a push to sip mechanism as such. Highly recommended though https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/smsf

Is there no version of the Contigo without paint or vinyl, just naked stainless steel?

I've 2 travel mugs.

A Nespresso one which keeps drinks hot for around 6 hours and a Stanley one which is even better but has a fiddley lid system which can be annoying to put back together.

Thanks for the replies. I have a wire brush drill bit I tool to my Contigos and stripped off the paint. Such a great product let down so badly by something purely aesthetic but they looked god awful. They look pretty cool now with the brushed metal look.
