I’m looking for the ultimate mug. Here’s my requirements
-
thermal, for keeping water cold or for hot soup/tea/coffee
-
easy to wash by hand
-
has a handle
-
Doesn’t spill or leak when thrown about a bit
-
Has an easily removable top
-
Holds a decent amount of liquid
You might want to clarify “decent amount”.
These guys make a range of oversize mugs.

That holds 52 fluid ounces (or ~1.5 liters). I use a smaller version.
I have that one, and can vouch for it. Its my perfered travel mug for my morning coffee. The only downside is that it isn’t a screw on lid.
That’s a lotta coffee.
If you don’t drink decaf or do really dilute coffee or something, you might want to consider how much caffeine you’re intaking, if you’re kicking each day off with a full mug of that.

At 52 fluid ounces, that’d be 490 mg to 1070 mg of caffeine if you fill it up.

EDIT: For comparison, a can of Coke has 34mg, so if it’s at the higher end there of 1070 mg, that’d be like drinking 32 cans of Coke.
I’m also a big fan of the smaller bubba mug that I have (https://www.amazon.com/Bubba-Stainless-Steel-Travel-Handle/dp/B00XMH7MRW/). It’s cheap, sturdy, and easy to clean.
