Totally awesome - this is not hyperbole
I am, literally, in awe everytime I use this mug. I put hot water and tea in at 7:15 am and close it. I open it at 10:15 and it's still hot...not like "oh so so" hot, but "OH SO SO HOT".
Also, if you stick it in the freezer for a few minutes and then fill it with ice cold (liquor), you can have a frosty cocktail in the parking lot of your favorite concert, even if it's a few hours away. 8) don't forget the chaser. No ice necessary.
I take this mug hiking, climbing, to the club, to work, hell I even bathe with it on occasion.
5 stars A+++, if it ever breaks, I'll buy three more.
Good, for a while
I bought this cup four months ago. It worked great, the coffee stayed hot, and only occasionally would it leak. But the lid would get stuck from time to time, until it broke in half, making the cup unusable.
Great if you want a thermos
On the plus side, this keeps liquids hotter than anything I've ever used. If closed tightly it really does not leak.
But closing it isn't the problem. It can form a pretty tight seal and to grasp and turn the very smooth ridge on the top can require dexterity, especially if your hand or the top is wet.
Also, the lip is not flat, but curves up on either side, presumably to facilitate drinking without spilling. But it means you have to be very careful if you want to put anything on top, like an AeroPress. Because it is taller than wide, "mug" and press can tip over if you, as I am, are not exactly awake first thing in the morning. The handle sticks out quite a bit. This is probably fine for a car. But you really can't pack this as ... Read More
Great mug - you realy get what you pay for!!
We purchased two of these mugs for use in our motorhome. We were tired of all the cheap mugs we had bought or had been given over the years as promotions, and decided to spend the money on what we hoped would be top-quality mugs. I'm happy to say that they were definitely worth the investment!
We were a little unsure of them before we ordered because we really didn't understand how the lids worked. However, they're pretty simple and straightforward. They are a simple screw-in cap that when screwed completely in makes the mug act like a traditional thermos, keeping coffee hot for 4 hours or more, and making the mug spillproof. Turning the cap one quarter to one half turn opens the mug for drinking, and even when open we've found ... Read More
Great Travel Mug
I decided to purchase this item based on the good reviews I read on this site. I was not disappointed. I do a lot of driving for my job, and a good travel mug is important. This mug holds the perfect amount of coffee, and keeps it hot for hours. I can make the coffee in the morning, and finish it for lunch. It fits easily into the cup holder, and I don't need to worry about spills in the car. It is comfortable to hold and drink out of. My only criticism, and this is very minor, is that if you turn the cap too far, it is difficult to open again. But, if you are mindful of this, it's not a problem.
