Retains the Temperature Perfectly

Having recently bought the gooseneck kettle for our pour over coffee, I was excited to give the Carter mug to my husband! It didn’t disappoint. It’s the perfect size and keeps his morning coffee hot for a very long time. He’s planning to take it on his winter mountain camping trip and I’m excited to hear how it holds up in the frigid temps. The only 2 things that would make it better would be if it were dishwasher safe and if there were a lid that didn’t have to be removed when drinking and still prevented spills. However, it’s pretty fantastic overall.
I got this as a mug for cold brews that make at home. It’s just the right size to hold the coffee and ice cubes. Then I noticed my Fellow Stag X and thought I could use it as a carafe as I’m brewing hot coffees. The wide mouth fits the Stag X perfectly and does not,as I initially feared, stall out he draw down on the pour over due to a too perfect seal. Draw down was fine and I found myself getting impatient because the coffee wasn’t cooling down lol. This mug really does a great job of keeping your drinks hot! It’s a very minimalistic design which I absolutely love and the materials looks to last a lifetime if not longer. I really enjoy the Carter Wide mouth mug. It’s the perfect size for my needs!
I have used this for a couple of weeks now, and it makes me so happy. I do not like drinking lukewarm coffee, and I despise a stainless steel travel mug (so much delicious coffee flavor gets lost). I love to make a good cup from my Aeropress and had read to purchase the Wide over the Move. I’m so glad I did! The Wide just barely accommodates my Aeropress base with hardly any wiggle room—it’s tricky removing the Aeropress—so I know the Move would have disappointed me there. But the Wide gives me the best of both worlds: a delicious Aeropress-prepared cup, plus the full flavor and perfect heat I love. Fellow hit a bullseye here!
Initially, I thought I would never buy this product because it does not fit in the cupholder in my car. Why would I buy a mug that does not fit in my car? But one Black Friday, I impulsively put a sale one in my cart and now I drink from it every day. It is a nice “at home” mug, keeps my coffee warm for a lot longer than a regular mug, and if I want to leave my coffee for a little longer, I can put the lid on and it really keeps it warm. I like that the wide part makes it more like a cup you’d use at home.
This is a beautiful piece of art and a well-constructed mug! Bought this for a friend's birthday and she uses it every day for work! Price is a bit high upfront but definitely worth it.
