No Sweat

Being at home having remote meetings, I always want a cold drink nearby with lots of ice. I normally have to be prepared for the sweaty glass with a coaster and paper towels. Not with the Carter Everywhere Mug! Sure, you might think it is your average travel mug. No, it is different because it is shaped like a glass rather than a skinny bottle. I love it in white and my husband has the black one. It is perfect for coffee or tea or a cold drink. The temperature won’t change during those hour meetings.
They sit in the cupboard as purchased from America and can’t return without the cost of the item in postage so it’s pointless returning. Had no idea it would be so big, chunky and heavy (purchased 12oz) and not fit in any type of cup holder, hand barely fits round it so it’s useless to us. It’s just a really badly designed product.
I travel with this cup and appreciate the fact that you don't have a "sippy" lid that has to be cleaned out in a hotel room. Tough Job!! Yes, you have to take the lid off to drink, but the rim of the cup is a delight and the cup keeps drinks nice and hot
I love this mug and it keeps my coffee hot for hours and never leaks! The only negative is that the outside of the mug has started to “bubble” and discolor, very odd
My coffee mug leaks because the gasket keeps coming off, and I can’t get the smell of mildew out of the cup no matter how many times I wash it, I basically don’t even use it anymore
PROS: Great ergonomic shape, impressive heat-lock, and absolutely leak-proof. The mug is solid and performs as expected for a premium product.
CONS: One hesitation is the ceramic coating. It is certainly better than the "penny tasting notes" of other mugs, but it is NOT "free of odors" as promised. The coating is very thin and retains a heavy coffee scent (even if rinsed immediately) unless scrubbed with soap or baking soda.
Overall, a bit expensive considering the other full ceramic/glass travel mugs available at the same price point.
I'm happy with my 16 oz. everywhere mug. Having it designed the way it is reminds me to slow down and savor my coffee before I begin my commute. I used to rush out with mug in hand and drive while sipping from the little hole on my mug. This pandemic has shown me to stop, slow down, and smell the roses even when it comes to my morning coffee. My mug reminds me to relish even the simplest blessings in life.
