I miss a prior cup that Staples seems to have discontinued it was a little larger and was "ridges" that stuck out so that the consumer's fingers didn't directly touch the hot part. This new cup is very hot to the touch and difficult to hold with hot liquid (coffee or tea) inside.
Love the cups with lids.Glad you brought back the store brand.They are sturdy and are reasonably priced so are a great alternative to carrying a thermal cup to work every day.. Would highly recommend.
