After owning an assortment of mugs, I finally found one that's perfect. It appears that a lover of coffee created the absolute mug, and brought it to market. Bravo, Fellow..
There’s always some piece of it that drips. The seal is frequently imperfect. I miss having a mouth hole at the top, because it’s hard to take a drink of my coffee while walking. I regret buying this.
I love the colors and the articulated rim. The cup *feels* like it should be good quality but I use these to keep beverages cold for the day and honestly, if this is a vacuum walled cup I think it should actually be a little more effective at maintaining the temperature. The no-leak rubber gasket can also be faulty sometimes - I now deliberately check every time I seal the cup to make sure it’s not going to leak if turned sideways.
It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love the lip of the mug, it makes it super easy to sip from. I also love the size of the mug, it’s perfect for taking a small amount of tea or coffee to work, but not too large that I struggle to finish whatever beverage that I brought. Another thing that I noticed was that the interior doesn’t seem to stain like most of the other travel mugs I’ve tried have after a few uses. Overall, it’s pretty much perfection and I’m glad I caved and spent the money. 100% worth it.
This is my second Carter Everywhere. I first got one two years ago, but lost it while traveling. After a few days without my mug, I realized how much I missed not having it, and ordered a replacement immediately.
It does a great job keeping drinks warm, I think the 12 oz. size and form factor is perfect, and it is easy to clean.
