Where do you screw the lid on to ensure the drink opening is facing away from the handle? Every position puts it at the handle.

Unfortunately that is one design flaw in these otherwise awesome mugs. The way the threads are on the lip and lid you won't be able to line them up properly. You can get close to it not being right on the handle, but that is about it. To get around that I use a straw. Besides, I don't know about you, but my smoothies are way to thick to drink without a straw. :)

Hi, I'm very sorry. I get this mug from magic bullet like this. The lid doesn't face the right way.

mine is always a little bit off center, never can get it just right, but it's not all the way around by the handle... that would be frustrating!

I put the top on with the leaver almost 360 degrees counter-clockwise and the move it around until it feels seated, then turn it clockwise until it feels snug. Works every time, although the leaver may not be perfectly lined up with the handle.

I just know that it has to be seated properly with the handle facing you, then the lid hooked in tightly. The lid has 2 latches but only one of them hooks correctly in the front above the handle. We had to fiddle with it awhile to figure out the correct setup.

Have one of the spouts open while putting the lid on. Angle the lid so you start from one side, then press down working your way around the rim. Once the lid is on, then snap the spout closed.A little more work putting the lid on, is worth it because it is truly water tight.

They're right. I find pushing the button on the side of the lid, then flip down the metal clip like device, flip up the top and you are ready to go. Now the thing on the bottom is a pain and fairly useless but I guess they had to go that extra step. I like it a lot, Don't get me wrong. The sleek design makes it less conspicuous and fits in cup holders pretty good. Let us know how it turns out. Peace...

It's attached to the lid of the mug which screws off for cleaning (and separates into 2 pieces plus a silicone ring/gasket). With one hand you can press the button and the lid springs up and back and stays there until you close it. It won't flip down while you drink. I saw some reviewers complain that some of the lid/latch mechanism interferes with drinking but I have not found this to be the case. I love this mug. If you want hot liquids to stay very hot for several hours, this is for you. It's beautifully designed. My only complaint is that it has a high center of gravity. So it you have a big dog with tail that sweeps items off a coffee table... then maybe another mug :-)

the top screws off and if the handle is in the right location grab hold of the cup and twist the handle to the right locationI love my cup

I press the "drink" button to release any pressure or vacuum inside the container. Then unscrew the lit counter clock wise. It goes on pretty tight so you have to use a little muscle, I know the first times I was worried about breaking it. Also important when putting the lid back on to make sure it is aligned so you do not cross thread it. Good luck.

Try putting the container on top the other way around, as in handle on the right side.

It is very odd to open I had trouble when I received mine also. Instead of using the lip on the lid, grab the smooth sides beside the lip and pull to open.

Not really. It still screws on tight and I have no problems with leaks or anything but when tight the hole in the lid is too close to the handle to make it easy to hold & drink out of. It doesn't bother me though because I use a big long straw to sip out of. Keeps my stuff cold all day & I love it.

There should be a plug that goes into the opening then the lid is screwed on. I use mine in my small caf and have not had any problems with it at all.

Place the can openrer on the can so the twisting handle part is on top not the side like a traditional hand held can opener. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS7zil5FX0g

If you start to screw on the lid 180 degrees from where you usually start it, it will tighten so the handle is on the opposite side. in other words, the spout can can be repositioned but not the handle. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem because I don't screw on the lid. The lid is hard to clean with all the plastic parts attached to it so I just pour the coffee in cup without it. Since it spills out, I pour it over the sink when I want coffee then set it down on a paper towel. POOR DESIGN!!

No the lid doesn't screw on. You just push it down into place. You need to make sure it is on securely by pushing down hard til you hear a snap or pop to insure you don't lose your drink. I found that out yesterday the hard way. Luckily it was only water. If you snap the lid down it is very secure.

Push the lid all the way back. The rod that opens the lid normally engages in the short end of the L-shaped groove. Carefully slide the rod into the long end of the L-shaped groove. This will keep the lid open.
