Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention provides a travel mug that is easy to disassemble and clean. The present invention also provides a travel mug that may be filled from the top without the necessity of removing the top cap. The present invention further provides a travel mug that includes a central button that allows a user to open and close the fluid path for the liquid using one hand.

Such a configuration may restrict a user in their ability to drink from the travel mug since the orientation of the mug must be correct to allow for the liquid to pour out of the opening and be received by the user's mouth.
