12 oz. Microwavable Stoneware Travel Mug white Review

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

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 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.

John Deere Travel Mug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

BODUM Anywhere Travel Mug with Spill Proof Locking Lid, 0.35 l, 12-Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these as a test. I wanted something that I could use for coffee in the bedroom, so I didn't want spills. I also wanted something that would slow the cooling of the coffee. And I wanted something that I could reheat in the microwave. The Bodun travel mugs do these things very well. They are also very attractive. Eventually I started using my mug for water and Coke as well. Then I bought another. I eventually stopped using my regular glasses for drinks around the apartment, since they just didn't work as well. Then I bought two more for my girlfriend.
These mugs have a rubberized base that acts as an insulator, so coasters are not really required on nightstands and coffee tables. The rubber also makes it more difficult to jar the mug into sliding across a table surface. I've washed the mugs in a dishwasher any number of times without difficulties. There are no rubber gaskets or seals that might be damaged or worn out either by a dishwasher or a microwave.
Those using these mugs should be careful to secure the lid well. I've found that sometimes the lid is more loose than I realized. The lid also seems to loosen up a bit with especially hot or cold beverages, so the lid may have to be readjusted while drinking. Last, the flow rate established by turning a lever within the lid requires some fiddling to get the correct flow rate. If this is not done, the result may be some dribbling while drinking. All said, though, these are an excellent value for the money.
UPDATE: I should have noted that the top to this container has a swivel valve to open the flow or stop it completely. It is easy for this valve to slip into a semi-closed position, and the container may sometimes cause dribbling because of this. Opening the valve corrects the problem. Also, there is a unobtrusive rubber gasket on the lid; it does not seem to deteriorate due to microwaving, age, or anything else. I hope this helps.

Ceramic Travel Coffee Mug - Cottage Country Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.

Executive Leather Travel Mug - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really wanted a coffee mug that was attractive as well as useful. As far as being attractive, it gets an A+. I've even gotten several compliments on how "pretty" it is. As far as how it functions, it does a pretty good job but it has a few things to work on. First, it seems to be a bit "top heavy". It is really easy to knock over and I have several times, which brings me to my other point. It does leak a bit. Not much, but it is by no means, spill proof. So be careful. It is also not easy to clean. The lid has a turn-top which allows you to "close" and "open" it. However, the gadget that allows this cup to function like this does not come off all the way to clean so you really have to try to get in there with something small to get the "goop" cleaned out. I had to do this today with a toothpick. Overall, this mug is pretty good. It has it's issues, but it is attractive and does keep your hot beverage, hot for a good amount of time. It does stay relatively sealed, so it gets a pretty good rating on my chart despite the few flaws it has.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.

20 oz. Microwavable Ceramic Travel Mug Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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

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.

CorningWare 1035985 French White 20-Ounce Mug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these mugs for use at work. I have used regular bowls to boil water, heat canned soups, and similar items. I was always concerned with burning myself from the porcelain or from splashing as I walked back to my desk. I later upgraded to a bowl with a small handle as that was all I could find at the time. The handle got so hot I could not hold it with my bare hands but, if water splashed from soup, it would not go directly to my hands.
Then I found these cups. They have a large handle which makes them easier and safer to hold. This is a big improvement to me. The sides of the mug are virtually straight so, as I walk there is no "sloshing" of liquid contents. The rubber cover vents well and keeps any "pops" from making a mess in the company microwave. This also serves to contain the contents when I walk briskly since there is no way to splash or slosh the contents out. The cover also serves to contain the heat a little if I am interrupted while eating or, I put some Ramen noodles in it to rest and soften up.
The only complaints I have are relatively minor. The first is the lack of thermal mass. This may be a feature to some people in that it allows very hot things to cool faster but, when placed on a cool desktop in a gentle breeze from the air conditioner it will cool off too quickly for my personal preference. The other issue is the price. At ~$6 a piece and selling individually, they seem a little too expensive for what they are. I should note that this has not prevented me from buying some more of them though ;-)
For my use at work in an office, the white exterior looks professional and cleans easily. The straight sides with cover keep the mess to a very minimum. Finally, the lip on the mug lets me "drink" the last bits of soup or noodles without dribbling or looking silly. In a pinch, it will work as an extra large coffee cup as well. Overall, this a very good product for my use in the office or at the company microwave.
