4.0 out of 5 stars Great pseudo-thermos, November 11, 2007

This review is from: Sigg Steelworks - Metro Mug (0.38-Liters) (Sports)

This is a great "mug", but I do have a few complaints. When buying the mug, I noticed that Sigg makes a thermos. I therefore assumed that this would not be a thermos, and would have a drinking spout accessible without removing the lid. In reality, this mug requires you to remove the lid to drink from it. One problem with this is that the condensation on the lid usually drips on your pants as you remove it.

The cup is adequately sized, and I love the look of it- it is very simple and modern. The outside of the cup does not get noticeably warmer when boiling tea is put inside, and the beverage inside it remains hot and at drinking temperature for hours. The bottom of the cup is rubbery, so it will not easily slip. The mug's diameter is not very large, making it slightly unstable in some shallow car cup holders. The lid is tight and secure, and leaking is completely out of the question. I feel comfortable keeping it next to my laptop in a bag.

Overall, it is a great looking thermos with the practical applications of a mug. It is great for use at a desk after a commute, but don't drink and drive with it, or you may risk a lap doused with your still piping-hot drink.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Travel Mug, February 23, 2008

Like many posts here I'll have to agree that this is no travel mug - it is a thermos. The one difference in this thermos is that it has a wider opening to be able to drink from.

The top caps only function is to 'cap' the middle piece. The middle piece, that many seam to thing you drink from, serves only as a pressure release cap but nothing beyond that. You do not drink from the middle piece!

To be a considered a MUG, Sigg needs to redesign the top, go with a slightly larger circumference so that it would not move about in our cars cup holder. You leave the cap off and you WILL have fluid all over you car. It will take two hands to open this thermos which is not good for driving.

One thing is fore sure... this thermos does hold temperature really well. The paint is also fabulous.

Would I buy it again? For the price probably not. It needs to be labeled a THERMOS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest mug ever!, February 7, 2008

By

Ok so when I first bought this a few months ago I was somewhat disappointed. From the description on the box I thought that it would be a mug I could drink from while driving/riding the bus, etc. When I got it however I thought it was just basically a thermos since it didn't have a pour spout or anything to drink out of without removing the whole lid. I just realized that there is a small removable rubber button in the bottom of the lid that when removed opens a drinking hole. I loved this thing before and it's even better now. It keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold, can get thrown in my bag and toted around for hours without spilling, it's fantastic. I love sigg products and highly recommend this item.
