Abstract: A reusable beverage container for hot or cold beverages is for use in vehicle beverage holders with receptacles sized for twelve ounce beverage cans. The container has a first lower portion of a diameter approximating or less than the diameters of standard twelve ounce beverage cans. A second upper portion is provided with a diameter larger than lower portion providing additional beverage capacity. A flange is formed between the upper and lower portions. One or more ribs substantially encircle the second upper portion. A handle is positioned sufficiently high on the upper portion so as not to interfere with the insertion of the lower base portion into the vehicle beverage holder.

Abstract: The invention features a thermally insulated beverage mug having a hollow internal walled section for retarding thermal conductivity between inner and outer vessel walls. The beverage mug also features a hinge mechanism and domed lid for closing the mouth of the vessel when the vessel is not in use.
