These mugs are useful. They are on the heavy side so they can be cumbersome but I like them. They do chip in the dishwasher though so you might want to hand wash them. So far, 1/2 have little chips on them. They are handy for large hot drinks.

I've been using these for two years and am ordering another dozen today. Why? The clear glass lets the beverage take center stage, they are well balanced, durable, and have a curved lip that lets the drink flow well positioned into your mouth, much like a fine wine glass.

Highly recommended.

Checking back in after using them for another year and am still enjoying them. I have no complaints about duability. I have broken a few, but it has been due to "operator error" and can't fault the design or material.

I did buy another box of six to keep the cabinet full, they are still my favorite mug. I love being to see the beverage and clensed glass.

Because I drink a lot of coffee and tea, I like a large coffee/tea mug, otherwise I find myself having to refill the mug too many times. I think these 16 ounce mugs are the perfect size. The thickness on these is just right--not so thick that it over-cools your drinks, but thick enough to feel substantial.
The lip is nicely rounded and slightly turned out, making it comfortable to drink from, and the handles are a good size for a man's hand. My only complaint is that when you put water in the mug from a faucet (mine has fairly high pressure), the rounded bottom can send the stream back upward, splashing up and out. This doesn't happen with flat-bottomed mugs.
Anchor Hocking also makes a cobalt-blue version of this mug which is physically identical. They're quite pretty to look at, but I find that giving coffee or other beverages a bluish tinge makes them seem unappetizing.

Its a great mug for both hot and cold beverages. And since it is glass it goes with everything. I like the fact I can put all of the same cup on the table with my corelle ware regardless of what people will be drinking. It is heavy duty but with the handle and the lip at the bottom easy to hold even for someone with limited mobility. And I love the size of it. When I drink coffee I always want two cups worth so this holds it all at one time.

These are nice large mugs for big drinks!! They feel nice to hold, are sturdy, yet are not heavy in the hand. They are very comfortable to drink from. It is difficult to find very large mugs as nice as these!!

These mugs are a nice shape and just the right size, not too large or too small. They feel very good in your hands and it's nice to be able to see what you're drinking! One thing...one mug in the box arrived broken, but they sent me a new set in 2 days, so I'm completely happy.

Lovely, durable, dishwasher/microwave safe and perfect for chai tea. Everything tastes better in these cups. I grew up drinking out of glass tea cups, so these remind me of cold days when the glass would warm up from the boiling water and warm your hands. There is something comforting when drinking from these cups.

~The Rebeca Review

I only use these during the winter, but they are so wonderful for warm winter drinks. Hot chocolate with whipped cream, hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick, hot buttered rum, mulled wine, homemade egg nog. Mmmmm.

When I received these I promptly dropped one on the tile from about five feet. It damaged my foot on the bounce more than it was damaged. Actually, it was completely fine - not a single chip. Big, thick, durable - everything they should be.

Look no further if you are looking for a large mug for tea or coffee in the winter, or if you're just tired of running to the fridge to refill your drink. These mugs are stylish, sturdy and holds a lot of liquid. It's hard to go back to ceramic mugs after this, as these clear glass mugs lets you see what you're drinking and are so lovely! I had a hard time finding 16 oz. mugs anywhere for less than $3 or $4 each and these are not only cheaper but better looking too. I have had no problems with chipping, because having no dishwasher I wash them by hand. Each mug stands 5 inches tall with an opening of 3.75 inches in diameter.

I've been making my morning tea in these mugs for several years (no problem with pouring boiling water into them yet), and my mate has been using them occasionally for beer for just as long.

They work well for tea or beer - the thick glass and the raised foot help keep liquids at the right temperature, and sixteen ounces is a bottle or a long-steeping teabags worth.

My only problem with these is that the rims chip in the dishwasher. I dont' know if that's just my dishwasher, or because I put them next to heavy Arcoroc glasses, but I've found three so far with a slice taken out of the edge. (Which I then smooth down with a diamond wand). Anchor-hocking actually redesigned these to have a less flared lip a couple of years ago, so they may know about this problem. (The new ones chip too, just not as often).
