ElloJane 18oz Ceramic Travel Mug with Handle, Splash-Resistant Slider Lid and Built-in Coaster, Perfect for Coffee and Tea, BPA Free, Dishwasher Safe, Gift for Holiday Him Her Mother's Day

Never did like drinking from metal or plastic and discovered I’m not alone! This mug is perfect. Pretty sturdy. The cap is plastic with a rubber gasket to help keep it from falling out but your lips hardly touch it. The handle is large enough for larger hands and higher up on the cup to allow it to sit in a cup holder. I do have a little problem leaving the rubber bottom piece behind as my cup holder is tight but no biggy for me. I just place it back in the rubber within the cup holder. It detaches to make it washable, I expect. Coffee stays hot enough to have enough time to drink it but is not a thermal cup. Fits under the Keurig with grate removed. Top will not stay in the cup if you tip it upside down. It’s not a sippy cup.

I really like this mug - I think that it is well considered and nicely engineered. Ceramic is pretty slick and they've added rings / ridges around the body of the mug that improve one's grip on the mug. The lid fits nicely into the top of the mug, resting on a little ledge that they likely added just for this purpose.Finally, the bottom of the mug has a rubberized outer layer. It allows the mug to sort of become a plug for car dash cup holders - the rubberized portion is tapered and the rubberized material really grips the cup holder nicely. It impressed me enough to write a paragraph about it.All in all, a brilliantly executed ceramic travel mug!

I always drink my coffee from a large ceramic cup. I have gone through those that are made with stainless steel and have never been happy. Even the best stainless steel mugs seem to impart a slight metallic taste. Maybe I'm sensitive to that sensation of metal and coffee, but I always feel best to go with the ceramics.Many people criticize the ceramic mugs because they don't keep heat. These are not insulated mugs. These are not mugs that have a vacuum or a foam insulation between two pieces of plastic. They are solid ceramic.Anyone who drinks from a coffee mug knows that ceramic mugs are not meant to keep your coffee hot for five hours. They are for drinking your coffee in a single sitting. So, everyone who feels that the coffee mug should be downgraded because it doesn't hold heat is unaware that no ceramic mug will hold heat.There was a insulated stainless steel mug that had a ceramic lip added to it. That was a very nice mug but it is now out of production and I can't find it anywhere.I like this one because it's large enough to hold my big cup of coffee. I typically pour at least 16 to 18 ounces and that's my morning wake-up call. Many of the mugs don't hold this amount animal was disappointed.The lid does work. It's not meant for jogging or throwing on the side of your seat. However, it does provide good cover for a quick dash out the door.My only complaint is that the top of the mug where the opening is somewhat narrow. That lends to a higher mug than normal and it somewhat difficult to wash the base of the mug using a sponge or your fingers. However, this is a minor problem and I still give the mug four stars in terms of quality of ceramics, size, and the way it looks. Also, the base is a nice cushion so it doesn't scratch or mark any wooden surface.So, if you realize that ceramic mugs are not necessarily for hiking, keeping soup and coffee hot for five hours, or meant to be used as a travel accessory, these are great. I use it as my at home drinking mug. It size, quality, and build is excellent.As an aside, I did order the midnight black. The base actually looks dark blue. Maybe it was a mistake in shipping however am still happy with the mug

I wanted a simple, microwave / dishwasher safe coffee mug that holds a decent amount. This mug worked.Saw some reviews how this isn't a good travel mug, which is fair - aluminum (aluminium?) mugs work great for travel mugs, not so good around the house when you need to reheat coffee. This ceramic mug has a removable silicone base to avoid damage to the mug / soften setting it down (needed for its weight), and a silicone lid to hold in the heat. Obviously it's not a good holding in heat as a vacuum chamber metal mug, but works better than standard coffee mugs. Also, the lid only opens at one end, so sipping doesn't allow air in with your lip seal, so I just detach the sliding piece of the lid.This may sound like criticisms, but again, this lid is perfect for around the house coffee / tea drinking. I've taking it with me on the road, it works fine for that as well. The silicone base fits snug in a cup holder, so the cup doesn't budge while driving.Bottomline, for the use around the house, this is a good mug.

I think this is an ok mug and ceramic is nicer than metal. But I had hoped that it would keep hot beverages hot for longer and it doesn’t . It works better if you fill with water and microwave it before filling with coffee, but what a process! However, it is attractive and water certainly tastes better in it and it is very heavy and unlikely to be knocked over by the cat.

It is heavy with a nonslip bottom grip. It is the perfect size cup. Really, really happy with it. Very nice looking, keeps your coffee or tea at a good temp. It has a push inremovable top to drink from that closes thatI didn't know about until I got it. And it warm hands when holding to drink from if you don't want to hold the handle. Good for me because hands are always cold.

I adore this mug! I found it first in a thrift store and from first use, it was just right for me. In fact, when I accidently knocked it into the sink and broke it, I immediately bought a replacement. Its a great size, larger than most mugs and I appreciate the shape and balance of it. I love the silicone piece on the bottom for a soft and quiet landing as I type on my computer and put my mug down without looking. And the lid is a bonus for me! No, its not going to prevent leaks totally. But it does help. And it helps to keep my tea warmer long enough to finish it. But the best benefit is that my tea bags don't smack me in the face as I drink my tea!!! I know not everyone leaves them in, but for those of us who do, its heaven!
