I got this for hot tea at work.

It gets soft with hot liquids so I have to be careful to support the cup from the bottom as well as not gripping it too tightly. It's not a safe feeling when you have very hot water that could spill on you if you don't handle the cup right.

And as the other reviewer said top edge (where you drink) isn't completely rolled up so it's not smooth.

And the cups tend to stick to each other and you have to play with it to separate.

So in the end it's too much work and too flimsy to recommend. The environmentally friendly aspect is the only thing going for it. And really I feel ashamed as I'm writing this that I don't just get regular mugs from home and wash them...

Thought these would be a great alternative to the paper and styrofoam cup we go through. Turned out to be flimsy and the lip of the cups are rough. Definitely would not recommend this product.

These are just awful. They absorb your hot beverage and become mushy and they are too hot to handle without doubling up. The rim is rough on your lips and it tastes nasty to boot.

These cups are OK, but very expensive when compared with "less greener" alternatives like Styrofoam, plus thay do become soggy after a while, so their performance is middling at best.

There is a trick to prying these apart, and once you get it figured out it's pretty easy. But - by then - you've destroyed half of them. Instead of pulling one out of another, use your fingertips to push it up from the folded rim. Voila!
But that won't fix the fact that they leave a strange taste in your mouth (with a cold or hot drink).
This company sells other products that are far more worthwhile, but they haven't mastered this cup yet.

Still, if it's looks you're after, I do like the look of these. They have a nice natural color, and they're definitely sturdy enough to handle most drinks.

I was disappointed. These cups pinch from side to side when I pick them up from the top so then can only be picked up from the bottom. They are not insulative at all. The cups will be as hot as the liquid in them. I will keep them and use them for certain situations, but I don't recommend them. I would rate them "practically useless".

The first case of these was perfect. Were very pleased. Got lots of use and no problems. Biodegradeable and better tasting beverages than in plastic or paper cups. Really disappointed in the second case which just arrived stinking of mildew and stamped made in China. The first case was perfect and didn't come from China. Second case unusable. So we gave overall product three stars; the first case earned five stars the second gets a big zero.

Although my use for the cups is unconventional [...] I can see these are great cups. Because they are eco-frindly and made from sugar cane fiber they make a great substitude for peat pots and the plant and cup can be planted in the ground with less transplant shock.
