are these mugs truly solid copper or lined with nickel??

I believe the mugs are solid copper because the inside AND outside of the mugs appear the same color and react the same to various liquids (spotting occurs if not dried completely...just like copper. Cleans beautifully when polished with copper polish.

They appear to be copper through & through. After a year's use we are still very happy with them.

Lisa, thank you for the question. For this mug we are not planning a hammered mug version. But soon we will be introducing 100% copper hammered mug.

these are plastic, Lara. Sorry i missed this when it came in, I was in China. These mugs are good value, I use them a few times per week.

This cup has a nickle coating on the inside which keeps your beverage from coming into contact with the copper...until the nickle wears off (which even with gentle washing it will eventually). Also, this mug is a terrible insulator, but the handle helps to keep your your hot hands from warming up the vessel, thereby slowing the warming compared to a mug without a handle. Copper is actually a very poor insulator (it very readily transmits heat which is why it makes a great heat sink material). As for the copper taste, if you're a Moscow Mule traditionalist, you will want to scrub the nickle off before using, or wait until the nickle wears away from washing before enjoying a true Moscow Mule. Whether or not it was a marketing ploy is not longer relevant, since a traditional Moscow Mule requires the drink to come into contact with the copper in order to taste authentic, but as with pretty much everything, you can do it any way you like (just be aware that you're straying from tradition so as not to look foolish).

As far as I can tell they are made of copper not stainless steel. Works great too.

They are plastic. There is no actual copper in them. The pepper mill has steel inside as part of the grinder. That said, they are pretty. I don't regret buying them.

If they are aluminum, they are highly polished. They are not attracted to a magnet like the rest of the pot is. It is hard to say what they are.

I only bought the set of 4 hammered copper canisters so I can only say that the canisters are actually hammered copper- but they are plated with hammered copper on the outside (I think the insides are stainless steel). The canisters are wonderful, I love them!

This mug is made of 100% solid copper metal sheet and are neither lacquered nor coated or plating. This mug is well treated in state of art advance technology laboratory and it is FDA approved for drinking purpose.

These are solid copper cups. I bought cups and a picture that I keep water in over night for a minimum of 8 hours. The water becomes very beneficial for our health. No fear of these cups, you will love them and the many benefits water provides when stored and consumed after a minimum of 8 hours : )

Unsure, they are stainless and attached however the copper layer is only in the base.

The ones sold by A 29 are solid copper and not lined. Some of the other sellers may be selling lined mugs.

All the copper colors match...........all the same. They are so pretty......but not dish washer safe...the finish came off when I put it in the dishwasher. I got the hammered ones....love them.

I got one recently and mine is stainless steel lined. Still keeps coffee hot for several hours.

I assume so - mine haven't yet. I'd suggest buying copper cleaner or Google how to make your own. These mugs are worth it!

They are some sort of metal-they will hold up-- they do get hot but I love mine and enjoy making coffee on weekends with the pot and drinking from the cups on deck

I am not absolutely positive, but from the looks of them I believe they are copper plated steel. Usually solid copper is too soft, so ours would show some wear since they have been used several times, but they look like new.
