12 oz. Microwavable Stoneware Travel Mug white Review

12 oz. Microwavable Stoneware Travel Mug white
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was trying to find a travel cup that I could microwave at work to heat up my coffee. I liked the idea of not heating in plastic and not having to transfer to another cup like with my stainless steel mug. Thought this was the answer....but alas the lid leaks. It does not have a rubber gasket of any kind and does not fit tight (not even close). This means I spill coffee both when I carry (even tipping it over only a little leaves coffee pooled up around the top, which in turns spills all over me when I try to take a drink)and does not hold at all if it should tip over. It does not matter how fast you are it will spill all over everything... almost like there is no lid on at all. My advice try to find one with a gasket or better sealing lid...good luck

Made in the USA - Ceramic 20 oz. Pink Travel Mug Review

Made in the USA - Ceramic 20 oz. Pink Travel Mug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this mug a few months ago because of its size, the fact that it is microwaveable, and it is dishwasher safe.

I guess I should have anticipated the fact that the lid being plastic, and the mug being ceramic, there could never be a tight seal. After a few days of spilling coffee on my car, my briefcase, and my attire, I had to transport it wrapped in a plastic bag. Worse, when I microwaved it to a drinkable temperature, the mug became so hot that I couldn't pick it up without wrapping the handle in a paper towel. It would burn my lips if I didn't wait until it cooled down before drinking it, and by then, the coffee was not as hot as I prefer. And I can't count the number of times I spilled it down the front of me while drinking from it!

One morning last week when I opened the cabinet door, the mug, positioned too close to the edge of the shelf, went crashing to my granite countertop, shattering into countless pieces. Rather than getting mad at the culprit for its poor placement, I felt a sense of relief that the most high-maintenance travel mug I've ever encountered is gone from my life!

Made in the USA - 20 oz. Ceramic Travel Mug - White
Average Reviews:

I like ceramic coffee cups that can be put in the microwave to reheat a drink and go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. On the other hand, the insulated plastic and metal cups with lids keep the drink warm for over an hour. This cup appeared to be the perfect cup that combined the best of both worlds, except that it doesn't keep the coffee warm for more than half an hour. The lid isn't shown very well in the pictures, but it is a circular plastic piece that rotates to open and close for drinking.
The problem with the lid is that when it is supposed to be closed, the seal is very poor and you can see your drink through the gaps. When the lid is open the drink comes out through a small (about 1/4") hole. I'm not sure why, but the coffee seems to dribble down the side when I drink out of this cup.
When there is coffee in the cup, the sides are too hot to touch for more than a second. It appears that the ceramic used for the cup isn't a very good thermal insulator. The handle is comfortable so this isn't an issue for drinking, but probably contributes to not keeping the coffee warm.
The cup gets two stars because it is (in my opinion) quite attractive and feels comfortable in the hand. It also fits nicely in the cup holder in my car.

Ceramic Coffee Travel Mugs - Black Ceramic Mug Review

Ceramic Coffee Travel Mugs - Black Ceramic Mug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The great thing about this mug is that when you drink out of it, it is not the plastic lid but the ceramic cup itself that touches your mouth. That's rare, and very welcome. I truly dislike the taste and feel of plastic when I'm drinking good coffee, the great beverage of the world.
No, the lid is not airtight (as one other reviewer complained), but it doesn't need to be. I don't know about most of the rest of you, but I don't turn my travel mug upside down or swing it around to the beat of the classical music on my car radio when there's coffee in it!
The lid is a plastic disk that fits into the indented area you see near the top of the mug; then you turn it to secure it. The disk has a little half-moon cut out of it to allow the coffee to come out.
It's true that the ceramic could be slightly sturdier, though that hasn't been a problem for me. But the design is simple, even elegant, and let's you drink out of a real cup when you're traveling.

Wide Bottom Ceramic Travel Coffee Travel 16 Oz. Review

Wide Bottom Ceramic Travel Coffee Travel 16 Oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is probably my favorite mug. It easily holds about twice as much as a regular coffee cup. It comes with a plastic splash guard that locks into place down inside the rim. The best thing about the mug though is the wide grippy bottom that enables me to set it just about anywhere in my car without worrying that it will tip over. Even hard corners don't seem to phase it. It's also the only cup in my house that can withstand my cat's efforts to tip it over.
The odd shape also has downsides though. It won't fit in any cup holder I've ever come across, but that doesn't matter much since it won't tip over no matter where you set it. If you don't rinse it out immediately, it can be difficult to clean later, due to the shape; if you don't have small hands, you may need a bottle cleaning brush. Also, I imagine if you had more than one of these mugs, they'd be awkward to store since this mug tends to hog the cabinet space. Despite this, it's still a great mug. In fact I'm going to need another since my husband has now adopted it as his favorite too!

John Deere Travel Mug Review

The mug is a nice thick and sturdy but the lid is garbage. It is not like the picture AT All. Not sure why, I didn't do anything about it as I bought it for my husband for Valentine's day. Guess I should contact the seller as the lid is totally useless. The lid is a thin piece of plastic and doesn't fit the mug very well so I don't know if it is a switch or a piece of junk they put on the top. It is too bad as the mug is pretty nice. If I saw the mug in the store, I wouldn't have purchased it.

Eco Cup Graphic Edition Travel Mug Review

It's sooooo cool to be the first one to have such a hip, postmodern coffee mug. People are always surprised and impressed when they realize that not only does this look much better than their paper coffee cups, but it's also better for the environment. Not only that, but the silicone sleeve actually works better than cardboard to keep your hand from being burned.
I've also tried the double-walled versions of this mug, which do have slightly better insulation but at the cost of @ 2 oz. less volume.
Silicone lid fits well and doesn't leak. All things considered, this cup is a winner.

Ceramic Travel Coffee Mug - Cottage Country Review

Average Reviews:

The pluses: This is a beautiful mug, and it's microwave and dishwasher-safe. Unfortunately, however, it just doesn't do what I need: It doesn't keep drinks at desired temperature long. The slide opening lid is not even CLOSE to spill-proof. Also, and this may be just way I'm "built" (though I've never had this problem with anything before), but the mouth opening in the lid is recessed so far that I can't seal my lips around it -- thus liquid leaks out the sides and dribbles out the sides of my mouth.

Average Reviews:

Just bought one of these (not through Amazon) and will be returning it. It leaks quite heavily. The hard plastic lid wobbles when put on, and I made sure it was on as intended. That wobble means there is a gap between the lip and the rim of the cup. When I noticed that I tested it with water and tried to drink from the cup, and promptly leaked water all over me.
The lid should have a silicon or other rubber-type ring around the seat that gets compressed against the rim when the lid is screwed on to seal it and prevent leaks. Maybe it was supposed to have one and for whatever reason the one I bought was missing it, but there seem to be other reports of leaks so either they shipped a batch of defective lids, or it was never there to begin with.
Glad other people are not having leaks. If you are buying these, make sure the lids do not wobble when put on or it will leak.

Smart Planet EC-7 Eco 12-Ounce Double Wall Thermal Coffee Cup Review

Smart Planet EC-7 Eco 12-Ounce Double Wall Thermal Coffee Cup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Though both products are marketed by the same company, this version is a cheap knockoff of the classy "DCI I Am Not a Paper Cup". Though it initially appears similar, there are easily visible differences. The lid does not have the indentation that makes it more comfortable for your upper lip. On both the Eco Coffee Cups that I received, there are visible defects in the surface. More importantly, this double-walled cup does not have a safety pressure outlet on the bottom, as does "I Am Not a Paper Cup". This would theoretically increase the risk of cracking if you micro-waved contents to a high temperature, as the heated air has no place to expand into. Lid fit is looser than Not a Paper Cup, though I haven't experienced actual leaking. Finally, using a measuring cup, my two cups hold 11 oz., not the advertised 12 oz.
Bottom line: The original item, I Am Not a Paper Cup, is a classy and durable item. It costs a few bucks more. The difference between Eco Cup and the original is clearly an example of "you get what you pay for".

I like the size and shape, and I looked hard for a ceramic one. But it has a couple of problems:
1) Loose lid allow spilling just from sloshing around (never mind tipping over), so not really suitable for a car mug.
2) Glaze stains quickly with coffee crud, so needs frequent cleaning.
Mine doesn't tip over like the previous commentator's.

DCI I Am Not a Paper Cup 10-Ounce Porcelain Travel Cup with Lid Review

DCI I Am Not a Paper Cup 10-Ounce Porcelain Travel Cup with Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'll start with the questions I'm asked most often when someone discovers that I am a "I am not a paper cup" owner:
- Q: Does the lid fall off?
A: The only time it has fallen off was when I took a sharp turn and the cup fell out of the cup holder which was already filled with odds and ends.
- Q: Does the lid leak around the edges?
A: No, not at all.
- Q: Does it get too hot when filled with a hot beverage?
A: Nope. Not in the slightest. The double chambered wall does the job just fine.
- Q: Does it get flavors "stuck" in it (e.g. coffee)?
A: No they do not. This is why I've long been seeking a porcelain travel mug.
Now I'll address my personal concerns when I first bought it:
- I was afraid the textured surface of the outside would gradually stain with coffee and grime that would rub off my hand, but this has not yet happened. It did take a small purple spot for a while when it got rubbed up against something, but that eventually disappeared.
- There's no air hole in the lid. This confused me to no end. Before my first use, I was constantly looking for a little hole along the lip or on the top because I was sure I had simply not seen it the last 3 times I had looked. The fact is that the lid is flexible enough to allow you to draw liquid from the cup without problem. This also limits the quantity you can take, but not significantly over the average lid of a paper cup.
- There's a rubber plug on the bottom of the cup. I was tempted to pull it out to see if I could find a prize when I realized that the plug is probably there for a reason. I read the packaging and discovered that this plug keeps liquid from entering the chamber of air between the two layers of porcelain.
I've been on a long quest for a quality ceramic mug and this guy hits the mark wonderfully. I've been recommending them to anyone who takes an interest.

Turn your everyday disposable cup into an eco-friendly, reusable mug. DCI's double-walled, thermal porcelain cup is ideal for commuting, sporting events, and the office. The flexible silicone lid helps keep beverages hot or cold for longer and helps prevent messy spills. The two layers of porcelain, which are separated by a hollow cavity, act as a perfect insulator for hot and cold beverages and ensure that you won't burn your fingers. A silicone stopper in the cup's base prevents water from entering the hollow cavity when washing the mug. This porcelain cup is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, holds approximately 10 ounces, and measures 3-1/2 by six inches.

The Eco Coffee Cup Set/3 Ceramic Cups With Silicone Lids & Sleeves 12oz Review

The Eco Coffee Cup Set/3 Ceramic Cups With Silicone Lids and Sleeves 12oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received a set of three as a gift and was very excited, as I've been looking at similar ceramic travel mugs for a while. The mug keeps my tea hot for the 20 minute commute into work and isn't stained easily when I accidentally leave my tea leaves in the bottom for the night.
The downside of this cup is the silicone used in the lid and grip. It smells when it comes in contact with warm/hot liquids and despite a soak in diluted vinegar, retains this odor after a week of washing and use. Both the teal and brown color (sleeve and matching lid) smell of a distinctive "this is some chemical that will taste horrible and totally ruin the enjoyment of your tasty beverage" from ~ 10 inches away when heated. I can't imagine sipping through the lid with this one and this limits the on-the-go aspect. Mine basically transports tea from my home to my work, when I remove the lid and drink from just the cup. Perhaps washing the lid with lemon juice will help as suggested in other similar cup reviews.
My lids seem to fit snugly and the cup has a lip, similar to real coffee cups. Just be sure to take care to pop the lid on all the way and run your finger around the outside to ensure everything is snug. The flexible lid makes it easy to pop one side on and not notice that the other side isn't entirely secure. There's no "snap" sound like plastic lids would give. I don't know if the lid leaks when drinking from it. Even if I am able to get rid of the smell, I'm not sure I trust that it is safe... food grade silicone probably shouldn't smell like this when warm. I might just replace it with a smell-free "Magic lid", basically an airtight lid that looks like a flat round stopped that seals the mug through pressure.
Have not yet opened the lime green cup or microwaved mine.

We loved this mug... it was easy to carry, looked nice, and when my coffee got cold on the way to work I could just microwave it once I got there. Unfortunately, whoever designed the mug made one mistake: the handle is hollow, and we accidentally cracked it while washing the mug. If the handle were solid a hairline crack wouldn't have been a problem at all, you can barely see it. But since any liquid in the mug flows right into the handle the mug no longer can be filled any higher than the bottom of said handle or it'll all leak out.
I'd definitely buy another one to replace the first if the manufacturers would address this problem, because as I said, my boyfriend and I both loved the mug to the point of having to take turns taking it to work. It's really too bad that we can't use it any more unless I find a way to seal the crack.
