Great mug - especially paired with the Stagg dripper

This is the third Carter Wide Mug that I have owned. They are great mugs. I use it with a Fellow Stagg dripper - it's a perfect match. I like the wide mug because it is shorter than the regular mug, and I feel like I won't tip it over as I make coffee. I like the ceramic coating - which definitely maintains the true flavor of the coffee and is really easy to clean. I highly recommend it!
This is my go to coffee mug. I use it every morning whether I'm traveling to a far away vacation or just to the couch with a book. I have a lid, but not even sure where it is... lol. It keeps my coffee perfectly toasty, and the thin lip creates a super enjoyable drinking experience. They are a bit wide, so that can be a challenge for some cup holders, including smaller hands. But I can't mark it down for something that is so obvious and not a flaw. We've had more coffee cup/mugs than we have had just about any other kitchen accoutrements, and Fellow makes the best. Love these, have one for myself and my wife.
This is my favorite coffee mug, I bought a second one since I had dropped my first one so many times it became cratered with dents. It is very sturdy and looks great. The wide open is perfect for making areopress.
Love this mug. Was searching for a wide mouth mug that seals well, keeps coffee hot enough through the day and that does not degrade the flavors and tastes. So far, this is it.
I purchased the 16oz carter mug a year or two ago and have loved it, but sometimes it was just a little too much mug for me. The carter wide has been the perfect solution to this problem: comfortably short but a tad wider so as to not lose too much capacity.
There are only two downsides for me:
1) since it’s wider than the standard carter mug, I can’t use any of my other carter mug lids with it (I have every other lid except one) - obviously this makes sense, it’s just an intrinsic downside to it imo.
2) it doesn’t come with a splash guard like the standard carter mug. The splash guard is honestly maybe my favorite feature of the carter mug, so it’s definitely a bummer to not have that feature with my new (and now more frequented) carter wide mug.
Bought this for husband as suggested by son. He can’t stop raving about it! Work keeps him from sitting and finishing a beverage… this keeps it warm for whenever he gets a break!
This is our 4th fellow mug, hubby went from using one, to taking two to work so he can have an extra afternoon coffee. Pack them for work and church and travels - and the non-profit where I work got some branded. Everybody loves them!
