Will stirring coffee with a metal spoon scratch the mug? I could use a plastic spoon but I know I'll forget and use a metal one at times.

It hasn't seemed to bother mine. I use a metal spoon all the time. These cups are wonderful and are very durable.

Yes, there is a metal tip. I generally use the whisk in bowls or non Teflon lined pans so I have had no scratch issues. It is a very useful utensil and reasonably priced. I just think it all depends on what you plan to use it for when cooking. Personally, I am very pleased with the whisk.

I honestly have not looked. I have lightly banged the mug in my car and in my bag but the glass seems to be holding strong. I have not dropped it or hit it on metal yet. A sleeve on the bottom and sides would be a better solution but it would still most likely break when dropped.

I mostly use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. I personally would not use metal utensils.

Regular ground coffee works good. Take out plunger...put in coffee...( I use 4 scoops ) ....carefully pour in hot water up to the top chrome of the handle...... replace plunger pushing down halfway then pull back up to top of water.....wait for coffee to steep.... 8 or so minutes....push plunger all the way down.....and pour into favorite mug. Enjoy !

I use metal spoons on pans, just don't dig down hard on anodized pans with metal utensils.

The handle is made of plastic. Everything else is glass an metal. It's all dishwasher safe and there is metal and glass that touch the coffee. The metal part is used to press the coffee grounds. In my opinion, none of that affects the taste. I love my coffee press!!

I noticed most of my dishes/mugs have a stamp on the bottom that states if it's microwave or dishwasher safe, these do not say either. And unfortunately I threw away my paperwork and the stickers that were on the bottoms of the mugs. That being said I do wash mine in the dishwasher and have microwaved my coffe in them and everything seems fine. I haven't tried a mug muffin yet, but I might soon.

I have not used metal, only occasional spoon to get things out, but carefully. I don't know if my husband is that careful really, but I bought them 4 years ago and its still pretty good.

First of all, stainless steel pots can handle stirring with metal spoons and spatulas - this is even less abrasive than that. The cowl that surrounds the blades of the blender is what comes in contact with the pot. The edges are rounded and won't mar or scratch the pan. This is an amazing tool and I can't imagine not having one in my kitchen. Good luck!

I don't know what the temperature of the coffee mug is. I do not try to get Cold coffee warm on my warmer. When I make my coffee in the morning I put it on the warmer and it stays perfect the entire time I am drinking it. I don't think it is meant to make a cold cup of coffee hot.

No spoon, my husband uses it only for his coffee and loves it. He never puts food in it. I don't think he has even thought about using it for food!

I have not had any issues using a microwave to heat up my coffee. when I received my cup it stated not to use a dishwasher. I hand wash my cups.

It holds up fine. Did it and it was yummy. I would however use a non-metalic spoon just so as not to scratch the coating. It's durable enough but why tempt fate?

My coffee mug is 16 oz. and there is still a thick layer of foam with my last drink. Actually, I use a spoon to get the last of it out because it is so good!!

Since I have not used it I really don't know but when I had one years back you could not use it with a plastic mug.

I bought a metal cup that made it easier to steam milk. I also bought a metal tamper b/c the plastic one didn't do as good a job. Otherwise, just coffee. It works well. I got rid of my Keurig and am very happy with this appliance.
