These mugs are exactly what I need. I have a set and they worked out so perfectly I decided to buy a second set in a different color. I have tremors which don't show unless I'm trying to do something, like putting my coffee cup down and having coffee splash out everywhere. With these mugs that doesn't happen. I can enjoy my coffee without having to clean up spills. The lids are not attached and are not sealed so they are not leak proof, but they do prevent those splashes from materializing. They also keep your coffee a little warmer longer as long as you remember to close the lid. The mugs are not thermal though. Don't expect your drink to stay warm for hours. The cork is easy to remove for washing. I've had no problem with the cork not staying on once it is back on the mug. The mugs themselves are well made and nice looking. Read more
Nice and solid cups! These have a nice weight, not too heavy, but you know they will be durable and not break. Read more
Like many others have said, the magnets in the bottom are kinda weak. The cork thing falls off frequently; its still usable without the cork bottom, it just doesn't look pleasing. The cork doesn't usually fall off if I'm just picking the mug up to drink, but if you accidentally bump the cork bottom it'll fall off for sure. Mine have fallen off so many times that I've taken to just holding it with two hands whenever I'm walking or something. The cork does do a good job of insulating the hot contents of the mug from my table or desk, and removing it to put the mug in the dishwasher is super easy an convenient, so I guess its all a balancing act between the pluses and the minuses. Overall the mugs do look good and the tops work well too. Read more
Theses are real nice coffee mugs I like the magnetic cork bottom so the mug can go in the dishwasher and the cork bottom hand washed and put back on after cleaning. Read more
Nice looking, nice weight. The lid works perfectly. Doesn't keep the coffee warm which was my reason for purchase. Read more
I bought these mugs so my husband and I would have something to put our tea/coffee in for our commute to work. Neither of us like drinking from plastic or metal travel mugs very much, and my husband dislikes travel mugs that keep his drink really hot. Before buying them, I even went and measured the car and truck cup holders to be certain that they would fit. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was that they are not a true white. It's not a big deal to us, but if you're looking for white, just know that these are more of a cream or very light beige. The next thing we both noticed the first time we used them, was that the lid had a really really strong chemical smell. It was strong enough that my husband just took the lid off to drink his tea. I was not impressed, but I decided to wait and see if the smell would fade. Now, after about a week, it has faded some, but it's still there enough that taking that last sip of coffee feels kind of chemically and it really isn't a good way to end the cup. I don't like this at all. The next thing that we noticed is that the mugs hardly fit into our cup holders. Instead of being 3 inches in diameter like the product pictures show, it's more like 3 1/4 inches. The cork bottom narrows somewhat, and that's the only way it can sort of fit our cup holders. I was disappointed about that, but thought I could live with it. The last straw and the reason I sat down just now to write this review is that, as you can see in the picture, the cork bottom just came off of one of the mugs this afternoon. I don't know how it came off because we've been careful with them, haven't dropped them, etc. But yeah, its off, and I can't even figure out where it disappeared to, otherwise maybe I'd glue it back on. I really am disappointed because I never spend this much on mugs. I was definitely hoping they'd be worth the money! UPDATE: A day or two after writing this review, the cork came off the second mug, and the lid on one of them started not staying down all the way when pushed into place. I should add also that we wash these by hand since we don't have a dishwasher, so they've definitely not gotten rough treatment. I started a return and ordered replacements, hoping that these were just a bad set or something. However, when they got here Saturday, I decided to return them too since the lids also smelled strongly of chemicals and the one lid already wouldn't stay completely down. Read more
I originally got these for my den. Now they're all over the house. I take the bottom off to put them in the washer and so far, so good. No problems with it falling off at the wrong time. Keeps my java warm and is the perfect size when I hit the 12 oz button on the Keurig. Read more
I have been searching for something like this for A LONG time. I make myself a fancy-ish coffee/tea every morning. I am someone who, when drinking a hot beverage... actually likes it to stay hot. So I typically drank out of a "travel mug" while at home. But this is so much more... satisfying. The ceramic is great, as is the rich color, and the cork is not only aesthetic but functional (no ring marks on your wooden coffee table or nightstand). In fact, you could say that about the whole mug. Aesthetic and functional. My favorite combination for all things in life. The well-fitting lid that sinks discreetly and reminds you of perfection, just like shade-grown sustainably grown locally roasted coffee mixed with the just the right amount of turbinado sugar and organic heavy cream. Perfection containing perfection. Doesn't get much better than that. Bonus, they come with two, and my girlfriend loves hers too. She doesn't need her drink to stay as hot though... so she doesn't use the lid as religiously as I do. That's what is so cool about it. with a travel mug, when you aren't using a lid it just seems like its missing from the design. These remain elegant with or without. This will definitely be a gift I give others as I can't imagine anyone not liking these. Read more
