Can you sip coffee with these? I'm looking for small straws that won't look funny in restaurant coffee. . . something discreet but usable.

You may absolutely sip your coffee through these straws. They are rather short, so they should work perfectly for you. My husband and I use them at restaurants every time we get coffee. Enjoy!

Sure. I don't usually sip my coffee through them, but my daughter sips her hot tea through them.

These straws will be perfect for your desired use. They are thin in diameter ... approximately 1/4" in diameter. I love these straws!

Yes. I just use plastic straws similar to those at fast food restaurants and those work fine.

I use much smaller straws and have a little space left at the top. I feel your straws will be too tall.

They aren't the kind you can cut through with scissors. They could probably be cut with some sort of saw, but you'd have to cut the "long" end rather than the short side with the ridge that keeps the straw from coming out of the cup. Then you'd have a slightly rough edge from the cut unless you could smoothe it out.

Depends on what you're drinking. For smoothies the larger straws are perfect. Smaller ones work better with thinner liquids

I don't see why not. I use them in a machine that is supposed to be coffee grounds for an individual cup. It works just fine. (I have a pod machine in the bathroom at my house, and the coffee ground one at work, so I use at both).

The opening under the sliding closer is sort of a half moon shape, so yes you could use a straw, a standard size one would fit. A larger one, like the ones that come with Tervis-type cups, would be too big.

Yes, you can . . . but, if it's a hot (and even an immsely cold) drink, like coffee, ytou might want to be very careful. I have no idea how quickly liquid will flow out of this tumbler without the silicone lid on. Plus, metal's a good conductor of heat AND of cold -- as ye olde physics classes have taught us yes -- so you might not want to give your lips a scalding surprise. Use the silicone lid for its ultimate coolness is my advice. Not a stupid question at all Hyok.

NO! I have 8 of these. Straw is reg straw size. Won't accommodate thick beverages. Also, it would create mold in straw. These are fantastic for normal liquids and fit in my car's cup holder.

Yes, but I returned them, too small, I wanted a cup for lattes, I got some great ones at Crate and Barrell. Good luck!

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.

Yes, quite nicely actually. I primarily use them with a 20 ounce double walled straw cup.

Tumbler? You can't use a tumbler. You can only use a very small cup. Like the kind your grandma served you when you were a child. Know what I mean? When they served you a little tiny cup. So you could "pretend" you were drinking coffee.

senseostore.com also sells these now; these work GREAT with Senseo coffee pods....premium coffee without the plastic cup waste, and they cost less too.

I only use mine for water, however, I don't see why your couldn't use it for other liquids. The straw is rather large and they are dishwasher safe. I LOVE mine and bought 2 of them. That is all I use.

I've never tried them in any other coffee maker. These are a circle, folded into quarters, so the bottom comes to a point. If the coffee maker you want to use requires a filter with a flat bottom, then these probably won't work.
