3.0 out of 5 stars Great mug. So-so lid, December 6, 2010

I received a set of three as a gift and was very excited, as I've been looking at similar ceramic travel mugs for a while. The mug keeps my tea hot for the 20 minute commute into work and isn't stained easily when I accidentally leave my tea leaves in the bottom for the night.

The downside of this cup is the silicone used in the lid and grip. It smells when it comes in contact with warm/hot liquids and despite a soak in diluted vinegar, retains this odor after a week of washing and use. Both the teal and brown color (sleeve and matching lid) smell of a distinctive "this is some chemical that will taste horrible and totally ruin the enjoyment of your tasty beverage" from ~ 10 inches away when heated. I can't imagine sipping through the lid with this one and this limits the on-the-go aspect. Mine basically transports tea from my home to my work, when I remove the lid and drink from just the cup. Perhaps washing the lid with lemon juice will help as suggested in other similar cup reviews.

My lids seem to fit snugly and the cup has a lip, similar to real coffee cups. Just be sure to take care to pop the lid on all the way and run your finger around the outside to ensure everything is snug. The flexible lid makes it easy to pop one side on and not notice that the other side isn't entirely secure. There's no "snap" sound like plastic lids would give. I don't know if the lid leaks when drinking from it. Even if I am able to get rid of the smell, I'm not sure I trust that it is safe... food grade silicone probably shouldn't smell like this when warm. I might just replace it with a smell-free "Magic lid", basically an airtight lid that looks like a flat round stopped that seals the mug through pressure.

Have not yet opened the lime green cup or microwaved mine.

Now my wife, son and I don't have fight over a "favorite" coffee mug in the house...the only one that I didn't chip while washing. This 3 pack is sturdy and now each one of us has one.

Ummm, but I'm sorry Amazon. Costco Warehouse is selling the same item for $14.99

We wanted travel mugs to use with our new Keurig coffee maker, so everyone can grab a cup and go. These mugs work well. The mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe and the lid makes these leak resistant when on the go. Everyone loves them.
