Default Travel mug recommendations

Does anyone have a good recommendation for travel mugs that fit in our cupholders (997.2)? I know, it's probably sacriledge to most readers but the thought of driving to work without a full cup of coffee is unpossible to imagine! I've always had a Contigo but my current one doesn't fit. I'd like to get a replacement spillproof, leakproof mug that locks closed similar to the Contigo Autoseal models. Thanks - I promise to only use the cupholders and mug during the 10 mile morning commute when I take the C4S, not during any weekend spirited driving!

I purchased a Yeti style (insulated metal) cup from Suncoast Porsche a few months back. It fits the cupholders, but still seems a tiny bit shaky. I use it....carefully.

I have both a 16 oz (older) and a 20 oz (newer) Contigo mug. The 16 oz fits, but the 20 oz doesn't. I don't know if the newer 16 oz versions will fit.

I have a newer Contigo 16 oz - they made the base wider so it isn't quite as top heavy. Which of course means now it doesn't fit our cupholders! Well, it fits but just barely. Thanks though!

The Ultimate Cupholders are great. I use them with some AMG thermal cups I got at my Mercedes dealer.

I put this on the floor behind the drivers seat, holds my morning smoothie and a water bottle. Cupholders towards the back. It fits absolutely perfectly:

I keep a couple microfiber towels in the cubbies, and in the flapped compartment a rectangular 4 ounce container with waterless wash of choice (optimum opti-clean):

I use the Porsche branded stainless one. Fits the cupholder in my 997.1 (no chance on either size Yeti fitting in there), has a screw on lid with a sealing flip top. Works great and looks great.

in fact, it's sitting in my 997 at the airport right now.

Same. Good fit. If too heavy contents under spirited driving will have the cup holder arm move but otherwise no issues.

Zojirushi Travel Mug

It's unreal how awesome this thing is. As a Java nut, I make awesome coffee at home. This thing will keep coffee piping hot for about 5 hours.
It's slim and lightweight.
