Is it comfortable to drink from the cup with the lid off?

Yup! (I just tested it a second ago) Once you pop the lid off, it is one smooth lip, no seams, no breaks or dribble edges like some other cups I have reviewed...

Yes, on or off it is a great cup. I recommend keeping the lid on though. Makes the ice in your cup last a lot longer.

No. It can be closed and not leak. The hole to drink from is large enough that it has never been a problem.

Yes. This is the cup before they can grab a glass or cup of water without lid.

I'm not sure why you would buy this cup if you were going to use it without the lid, effectively rendering it useless as a travel mug. However, the rim of the cup is a nice rounded edge so it could be used as just a drinking cup. I hope this helps.

I filled it and tried to spill the water by shaking and nothing came out. If you tip upside down, then a little does come out. Closes nice and tight. The topper has an open and close tab. The only thing I don't like is washing the lid, like all lids on these coffee cups, you take them apart to really clean them. I just use mine at home office so in ever use the lid. Works good for cold drinks too, keeps them cold and the glass dosen't sweet.

I use it everyday without the lid....I actually prefer drinking my coffee without the lid on. This is a great coffee cup.

I can drink from the mug fine but you do have to be careful and let it cool down first.

Yes Deborah, there is a very small pinhole in the top. It allows air to escape when the lid is used. If the cup is tilted, very little if any liquid is leaked.

Yes, my husband drinks from them quite often without the lid and said it is fine.

My lids are snug and stay on tight. I've dropped mine and had minimal spilling from the drink and vent holes, not from the seal. It will leak if you lay the tumbler on it's side. Think of the lid like any to go cup lid- works well for driving about or walking but if you drop it or tip it over, you'll get some spilling.

You can drink from the cup...it has an opening that you can open and close. I like it!

Although I always use the straw with it you could definitely use it without one as well. The spout has a sliding plastic cover that does not seal liquid it as well as some of the other cups if turned on it's side or upside down it is sure to leak out. For that reason I always use the straw and keep it upright at all times. If you have a hot beverage in it, I don't know how you would use the straw to drink without scolding yourself, so it was designed to be used both ways. Hope this helps.

Hi L.E. It is, but the is a little indent groove where the lid fits snug on the mug! But it's not noticeable as your drinking out of the mug. In fact when I'm at home I usually don't use the lid.

I have not used it for that purpose. It my reserve storage container for travel. I would assume that you wouldhave to remove the lid to drink fromit, though. I would caution you, though, if you are using hot drinks -- the container keeps everything hot as when poured for at least eighteen hours. That has been my experience, at least.

No! The lid has a hole that does not close (it's a screw on top, but you can't seal the actual opening where you drink from). Even if you did find a plug for it, I wouldn't trust the lid to stay put, and this is a glass tumbler, so it is VERY fragile. I accidentally dropped the lid and it shattered, so I had to buy a second one already. You need to be VERY careful with this item, but it is extremely elegant and for that reason I love it regardless :)

No I don't drink out of the teacup. It is too large. I put plants in it. It looks pretty on my patio.

I got this specifically because it's designed to drink right out of the Thermos instead of using a cup. There are other similar models that have a cup though, so you should be able to find one you like :)
