Love the Mug

Let me start by saying “everywhere” is subjective. You can take it everywhere, but I would not drink out of it everywhere. It’s not something I’d drink from while moving (car, walking, etc). But has a nice seal, definitely allows Aromas to shine, and super easy to clean. Fellow products always do a nice job
I've never liked coffee from a metal thermal cup, and the coffee from here definitely tastes better. The shape is nice and compact. Just know that this version will not fit in your cup holder, but I didn't really care.
The choice of glaze they used on their ceramic is different from any other mug I've had coffee from. It's a bit sticky and readily absorbs smells (and presumably flavors) from your coffee. It's nothing that a bit of vinegar can't fix, but it will take a more thorough cleaning than literally any other ceramic I've used. You won't get a 5/5 cup of coffee from this, but it's better than steel.
this is my new favorite mug! I've started making tea in this before i go to bed so i can have hot tea without having to leave bed in the morning, and i cannot recommend it enough. it's a great mug, my only (minor) complaint is that i would like the ceramic coating on the inside of the lid as well.
We like to drink coffee without a lid and these mugs make it possible. The thin “lip” for easy drinking as well as the “plunger” to stop spills are both genius. We just wish the bigger size was available with the plunger accessory.
Does this keep your coffee hot? Like you wouldn’t believe! (Actually does a great job of keeping it super cold, too) Is it a way more enjoyable drinking experience than a normal travel mug? Absolutely!!! Is it totally leak-proof? Yes. I would love to sing this mug’s praises to the moon and back like I do with my Fellow Kettle, but the black paint is chipping all around the top after only a few weeks of use. It’s not really a big deal because the functionality of the mug is so excellent, but it does require the 4/5 rating.
