Wilton/Copco 2510-9963 Eco-First-Acadia To Go Mug 16 Oz - Brown (Pack of 4) Review

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.

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

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 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.

Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 10-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2 Review

Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 10-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2

I bought a pair a few months ago and one promptly broke
with someone else roughly loading it with a couple
of heavy fiestaware besides it in the dishwasher. However, I just
love love love these cups, and use them every day for tea and
didn't really know how I could do without so
I promptly ordered another pair of mugs. Just thought I'd
read everyone else at home the riot act on how fragile
these are and how precious to me etc...
Surprise, the replacement pair are significantly heavier and
sturdier, and seem to have thicker glass on the outside
while still holding up to having boiling water poured in
to brew a personal cuppa tea. I feel more confident
around this version which has a Bodum and #3 in white letters
on the bottom, vs the etching on my earlier edition.
So go ahead and buy this with more confidence about the durability.
The coolness and utility factors were never in doubt.

Bring a unique and trend-forward look to the table with this set of two 10-ounce glass mugs. Handcrafted of borosilicate glass--the same material used to make scientific lab equipment--the pair of mugs provides exceptionally durable, temperature-safe use that holds both hot and cold drinks at their optimal temperature longer. The walls of each vessel sport two layers of clear glass, creating a dramatic optical illusion of liquid suspended within. The two-layer design also resists heat and prevents condensation, leaving the mugs comfortable to hold and safe for placement on any tabletop or counter. Even more, the handsome mugs feature a smooth, slightly flared design with a generously sized handle--perfect for sipping hot cider or tea in the winter, cold drinks in the summer, and everyday favorites in between. Winner of the prestigious European IF Design Award, the mugs offer cloud-resistant, dishwasher- and microwave-safe use and measure approximately 3-1/2 by 5 by 4 inches each. A one-year limited warranty covers the set.
Editor's Note: Because the mugs are mouth blown, each one may have slight variations in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the mugs to avoid fracturing the inner layer. Do not use metal spoons or place the mugs into a crowded dishwasher.

Eco-Cup, Single-Wall Porcelain Mug Review

Eco-Cup, Single-Wall Porcelain Mug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read about I Am Not a Paper Cup last year, but saw all the reviews that indicated it had problem with leaks. I decided to wait. Nine months later I was at one of those quirky eco/gifty/music stores and I found this Eco Cup and the original IANAPC. The Eco Cup is half the price, so I thought I'd give it a try, and if it leaked or got stinky, at least it was only ten bucks. I've used it almost daily for the last couple of months and have had zero issues with. It's microwave and dishwasher safe. It doesn't smell. It doesn't leak. It's a single-wall version, so the silicone grip is essential. Give it a go--you won't be sorry.
