How thin is this mug, & does the lid fit w/out the infuser? I need something thin, with a lid I can use when drinking (w/out infuser). Thanks :)

This glass mug is heavy, but not too heavy something important when you want your tea or hot beverage to remain hot for awhile. And the lid does fit well without the diffuser as I sometimes put coffee in mine as well. Personally I like mine very much.

I would say the glass is fairly thick. Thats a good thing for me. yes, the lid can be used w/o the infuser.

Yes, the lid will work without the infuser. There isn't really a "band" - it's the infuser reflecting through the glass. I haven't tried using in the microwave - it's quite large. However, I really don't think it would be a good idea - the glass is quite thin and I think that the hotspots that arise during microwave use would be harmful to the pot.

The reason the capacity is smaller than expected is that, with the infuser is in place, the liquid tends to boil over. So it is best not to fill it too full and let it simmer without boiling over. After removing the infuser, the pouring is quite easy, without dripping.

I LOVE the size of this mug. I did have problems with the lid leaking until I realized the small gasket got lost while hand washing it. I ordered 2 lids (one as a spare since the shipping cost was the same) from the company and am now very careful when washing. I prefer to drink straight out of the mug without the lid but the lid (with the tiny gasket) works fine - no leaks even when holding the mug upside down!

The mug itself does NOT leak, is great. The lid for the mug....... YES, it is not to be trusted whatsoever.

It isn't it is a great mug, and I would recommend it to everyone, but if you a 3$ mug works for you and that is what you like then more power to you. :) I personally love teavanas logo, so a clear glass mug with it frosted on there was really appealing to me. plus, it is a well made mug. That isn't to say it is "better" per say. It is just another glass mug in the end, nothing really special as far as features go.

Hi, So I'm actually in the process of moving so the cup is in a box..somewhere. However, the mug is very skinny. If you were to place it next to any coffee mug you own, they would be about the same height, but the width of this cup is like half the size. sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

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.

The infuser is much smaller than a cup so I don't see the point of transporting it with the tea. The lid does screw in a little, but I not sure it's leakproof.

I bought the infuser and lid kit for Groschr Glasgow I think it cost $13.50.It fit it well and use it as both infuser and lid.

I've had mine for two months and used it everyday. The latch just broke this morning. :(I like this mug so much that I'm thinking of getting a second one..... but the latch itself IS plastic attached to a little metal shaft, so it will break.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

The lid fits into the infuser. If you don't use the infuser you cannot use the lid.

The lid has a raised thin lip in one area with a cut out hole even with the rest of the lid. When the lid is on, one simply holds the mugto the mouth and tilts. It's more comfortable to drink with the lid on this mug than without as the walls of the mug without the lid are fairly thick. These are wonderful containers!

I love a nice oversize tea mug and collecting them. With my holder I can hang a mug by the handle and also hang a mug by the the cup on the same hook. But you would have to be careful of how heavy the bottom of the glass is because it might slide off the hook. I do love mine but again I am only using mugs.

Check your receipt from Amazon for the company who supplied the chubby mug. I had a leaky one and I contacted them through the procedures stated on Amazon for defective mdse. You should be able to do it this way and explain what you need. One of my mugs came from a company called Clockwork Synergy, LLC. Good Luck

The infused attaches to the lid of the mug. It does not have a separate lid
