Is this really microwave safe? The ones they sell at Starbucks are not, or so it says on the bottom of the mug. So, these are different?

Yes it is. It is one of the few that is. I have tested it out many times in the microwave, and it works great ;) I did take a pic of the bottom of it that I am going to try to upload for people to see that Starbucks has marked this safe for both microwave and dishwasher.

Yes the cup can be used in the micowave but and the handle does not get hot. The finish is smooth. What this mug is not is hollow stoneware that chips with the slightest ding. LOVE LOVE LOVE these mugs.

I don't see why you couldn't microwave in it. I don't see anything that says not too and it's similar to other mugs I microwave in.

In some reviews I read they use them in the microwave. I never have because when they were shipped the paperwork said do not use in microwave or dishwasher. They do keep my coffee warmer longer and i like them over all. I hope that helps.

I do not have my packaging anymore so I don't know if it says it on there, but it does not say if it is microwave safe or not. Honestly I would assume it would not be microwave safe. All of my other sippy cups are not so I think this wouldn't either. About the leak proof. Well at first yes I could say it was leak proof. But after a few weeks my son learned about banging his sippy cup on the highchair. Since the very first time he banged it on the tray it has leaked. Since then I have purchased other sippy cups and have not used these sippy cups since.

It is not marked on the bottom of the mug; however, it was on the box if I remember correctly. Either way, my wife puts it in the microwave all of the time to heat up her coffee.

NO! Unless you like the putrid taste of plastic overriding your beverage. Heat your water in a different, truly microwaveable container and then transfer to this one, if you must. The mug didn't melt or warp in the microwave, but that strong chemical flavor it imbued into my water was a real turnoff and I'm not too sure how safe it was, either. I now use this for only for cold beverages when working out, etc.

Yes! What would be te use of coffee mugs that wouldn't permit coffee to be reheated in a microwave. In my house, if I can't find a cup, I look in the microwave for one that has been forgotten after reheating.

I don't know if those cups are microwaveable or not, I ordered them for a friend of mine, I seriously don't know if she hand washes them or uses a dishwasher.

As far as BPA is concerned I would go to the Tervis website and http://www.factsaboutbpa.org/ We put our mugs in the microwave with no problems to heat up coffee etc. Have never cooked in them though. We have used them for quite some time now along with 6-8 other Tervis products with no problems. The are definately better than the knockoffs that you find on the market.

sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you. i think it is luke warm to warm. my coffee is hot. i would also like to tell you that i was going through some old papers and i found the papers that came with the cups. you can put them in the microwave up to 2 mins. you can also put it in the dishwasher on the top rack only and only on normal cycle with normal heat dry. i still wash mine by hand. ever since i bought these i have loved them. i haven't look for any other ones. i hope this helps.

no, i was surprised it really is simply a mug size. Actually, if I microwave a mug (if I'm in a rush) of coffee, I can't dump all of it into the to-go. * and, if you are sometimes late too - microwave it in a mug rather than the to-go because it's too hot to hold...

The only thing I can tell you is that I heat water in the microwave for my coffee. The tumbler's that have logos and artwork on them can't do that and the lids also should not be microwaved. I was mine in the dishwasher, even the lid without problems.

I clean it with water just after finishing my drink. I've been doing this for a while and nothing bad happened to the leather on the mug. I wouldn't put it in a microwave, I don't know what would happen to the leather. It's a solid mug though.

Not sure on the microwave but the dish washer put micro cracks in the outer layer. It still works with no leaks. So it is dishwasher safe but it did affect the look of the cup. I hand wash it now. It might be microwave safe but will the microwave affect the overall look? Possibly.

Tina,Thanks for asking, a bit surprised you'd ask me as my review was a rather strange one to say the least. It says very plainly NOT to use with hot liquids, but also says 'dish washer safe '??? My dish washer gets pretty hot, especially if I use the dryer (which I usually don't) but have had no trouble with that. With that warning, I've never used one for coffee, but with a dozen of them and just 1 of me, I'll try it out. I see in other comments that they have been using them for coffee with no trouble. What the hell, take a chance. FINS UP! Robbie

I put it in the microwave for up to 3 minutes and had no problem. But someone said not to use it in the microwave because that could disturb the gas between the walls of this cup, causing it to shatter... Mine broke, I think, because someone 'dropped' an ice cube in it. I loved the cup but have mixed feeling about buying another one.

No it is not. There is an insert in the mug when you buy it that tells you not to microwave it or put it in the dishwasher. I have a bunch of them. They are the very best. Their lifetime guarantee is valid.

No, it says on the bottom of the cup, not for microwave use. Also it is not dishwasher safe.
