Smart Planet 16-Ounce Eco Cup with Silicone Cozy Wrap Review

Smart Planet 16-Ounce Eco Cup with Silicone Cozy Wrap
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is ~the~ best of the current wave of eco cups. I have several and like this one the best because it is single-walled (I always drink iced lattés)which allows the cup to hold 4 more ounces. This cup still has a silicone sleeve and a silicone top so all of the advantages of the double-walled cups are there, it's just bigger. The silicone top is a little flimsier than my other cup, but I don't think that will be an issue. I use this cup with the Glass Darma Glass Drinking Straws sold here on Amazon. No more wasteful paper cups, paper sleeves and plastic straws for me!!!Glass Drinking Straw - Dots Red 9.5mm

An eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups, the Eco Cup is made from ceramic and is reusable. The ceramic is great for containing hot or cold beverages. A silicone cozy sleeve comes included to wrap the cup, keeping hands comfortably separate from the temperature of the contents. The silicone sleeve also provides a slip-resistant grip, while an integrated silicone coaster keeps the cup stable on tables. The spill-resistant lid is also made from reusable, washable silicone. Able to hold up to 16 ounces, the Eco Cup is washable and microwavable.

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

Ceramic Travel Coffee Mug - Cottage Country
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.

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.

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".

20 oz. Microwavable Ceramic Travel Mug Black Review

20 oz. Microwavable Ceramic Travel Mug Black
Average Reviews:

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.

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.
