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

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".

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.

That Orange Stuff 16 oz. Review

I recently bought and used this cleaner and was really impressed with how well it did. It's a concentrate, so once it's diluted, the price is very inexpensive. I was surprised at how many different jobs it did around the house! I was planning on just cleaning the sinks and ended up unclogging drains, cleaning the toilets and mirrors. It can also be used in carpet cleaners, so I'm planning on trying that next. I also read that it fixes squeaky hinges. I like that it's an organic product but at the same time gets the job done well. So many organic products I've tried in the past did not work as well as the regular cleaners. Plus, this cleaner has such a nice, light scent that I don't have to air out the room when I'm done. All in all, I was very impressed and ordered two more bottles!

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.

Bormioli Rocco 388480SB4021990 Frigoverre Round Glass Food-Storage Containers with Frosted Lids, Set of 4 Review

I'd bought some Frigoverre pieces long ago, and could no longer find them in my local stores. They are perfect for leftovers. Just be sure not to warm them too quickly; I cracked one dish this way. Now if I put them directly from the fridge to the microwave, I warm for a minute and let rest briefly before setting the full cooking time. FYI, the round pieces are easier to wash than the squares and rectangles.

Sleek and stylish, this set of four food-storage containers makes a smart choice for preserving leftovers, storing dry goods, packing on-the-go lunches, and more. The units feature clear, tempered-glass bases that resist staining and allow for a quick view of inside contents, while their compact, round shapes save space by stacking neatly with other containers in the refrigerator. Constructed of durable polypropylene, the containers' stylish blue lids provide extra-secure, airtight seals that ensure spill-proof use, even when filled with sloshy soups, sauces, and other liquid-based foods. Best of all, the handsome containers move effortlessly from the pantry or fridge to the dishwasher for safe, thorough cleanup. Made in Italy, the 15-1/2-ounce container measures approximately 5 by 5 by 2 inches, the 30-1/4-ounce container measures approximately 6 by 6 by 2 inches, the 50-ounce container measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/4 by 3 inches, and the 104-3/4-ounce container measures approximately 10 by 10 by 4 inches.
