    I purchased a 12 oz. hydro flask to bring with me to coffee shops.  I had tried using reusable mugs in the past, but the sizes usually don't correlate with coffee shop sizes (my mugs were 14 and 15 oz., causing coffee shops to often charge me for a 16 oz. coffee or latte, which frustrated me, and over time, I had relapsed to using disposable mugs).  Now that I have a 12 oz. mug, it's easy to just order a small at a coffee shop!

      I was just comparing the hydro flask to the Kleen Canteen coffee cup... Sounds like all of you would vote for the Hydro Flask. Is it leak proof? And most importantly is the lid easy to clean?
