There a problem with other mugs, the liquids get caught inside of the handles. Does this happen with thi mug?

The handles on these mugs are solid glass with NO opening to the inside of the container.

I used them for my wedding reception. They had fluid in them for a solid 10 hours, I had no issues personally with that. I didn't hear any complaints from the wedding party. I haven't used them since though, they sit in my wedding cabinet. I hope that helps.

I have the LL Bean and another Stainless steel travel mug. The straw fits through the sippy part because it is flexible. It reaches the bottom fine and the top part sort of bends outwards as in the picture. I have had no problem using it in the tall travel mugs. I was told you can actually add two together to make them longer, but I have never tried o it or had to do that. They are easy to clean. I separate them and clean them with warm soapy water. I was tired of the plastic throw any straws and the plastic taste. These are very nice and I have bought two packs. I like the pink and hope maybe more color options are available soon.

I'm on my second set of mugs and all of them have had the seam, some more noticeable than others. The seams have not affected the durability of the mugs--only my dropping them has. These are my favorite mugs because of the size (just about right for a tea bag) and because their flat bottom doesn't pool water in the dishwasher.

i think so - as i put extremely hot coffee into my mug daily - and i have no trouble picking it up by the handle almost immediately - and the heat does not transfer to the handle over time - so no problem. one caveat - as you appear to be female, i would warn you that this is a pretty heavy mug - which at first bothered me, but i've learned how to pick it up so the weight no longer is an issue. however, i'm male, 6 feet and 182 pounds.

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!

No, dishwasher detergent may scratch or otherwise damage the mug. The heat may also warp or deform the mug causing it to not be as well insulated.

I never wash my to-go mugs in the dishwasher. I have in the past but it seemed to cause problems with the seal, which caused the mugs to leak if tipped. Also the seal being warped means the liquid inside cools quicker. That might not be a problem if you drink it quickly, but I sometimes get busy and need an hour or so to get back to my coffee. This mug keeps things warm that long if the seal is in good shape. I guess you could wash them in the dishwasher, but it will affect the life of the mug.

This worry has crossed my mind too ;-) So far my mug has stayed on the counter. The first idea that comes to mind is cutting a square of gripper shelf liner to fit the mug's footprint: Kittrich Corp 05F-C6B50-06 Con-Tact Brand Grip Shelf LinerA mouse pad might work or a thick pot holder or even a damp dish cloth folded into quarters. My fear is I might break the mug!

I agree with coffeemaniac. There is a small concavity at the bottom. In the dishwasher, after cycle completed, there is a small amount of water atop the mug bottom. Don L. McCord M.D.

No, I have not had any leaking, I have washed it many times, even put it in the dishwasher, but no leaking, it must be a defective mug, sorry.

I have not found that to be the case at all. Very nice mug that won't tip over!

Also check the plate under the coffee cup. It is there to catch overflow from the cup. My pricey Keurig has the same thing under the mug but much larger. Be sure to clean out the little overflow under the mug because it can get moldy if you forget.

Really? I have three of them now, use them daily and have never had a problem.. The only thing I've noticed (and they warn you about) is to hold it away from you when you first push the button (because of the pressure build up) - other than that, they are by far the best mugs I've ever owned or used

We've only tried it with the type of insulated mug that fits into a cup holder in our pick up. I believe the inside of that is plastic, and it doesn't seem to cause a problem. I'd be cautious, though, if you are talking about the type of mug you get at convenience stores because that plastic is not very substantial.

I put mine in the dishwasher for about six months. Just too much work, with all the other non-dishwasher-safe junk to wash. It was perfect but then gradually a screw got loose and the handle got slightly loose and then there was a microscopic leak in the bottom. So I got a new one, don't want to take any chances. It's a drag to have to clean it ( I have big hands and have to put on dishwashing gloves) but it's worth it, since it's such a cool coffee mug. I really do love it. The travel one, unfortunately, has a plastic lip. Not so good....

I have this mug and I do not put it in the dishwasher. I carefully wash it by hand with a soft sponge, and I don't scrub the exterior of the mug. It seems to be doing just fine after several uses and several careful hand-washings.

The biggest flaw I found is that the mug is not well insulated and dissipates a lot of heat. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond and now my coffee stays hot for hours. What is your specific concern?
