Would this glass feel good to be able to drink out of without using the lid or is the screw top too obvious for a good mouth feel?

I'm sure you used the term glass for,cup, but let me first point out that it is plastic-- not glass. In answer to your question, there are no rough edges on the outside of the top of the cup where the top screws on. It is flat and feels nice against your mouth when you drink.

Love these cups! We have used these without the lid. The rim is definitely thicker than a regular cup. Just takes some getting used to. You can't feel threads so it's not uncomfortable just different.

It is smooth but the ridge for the lid is not good for drinking without a straw.

Because I use mine for brewing kombucha, I have it covered with a piece of muslin and don't use the cover. The metal cover does not screw on, but simply sits over the opening to keep it protected from dust/dirt. It does not have any sort of rubber, silicon or plastic inner ring that would help create an airtight seal. That being said, even without a lid, I have had ZERO dripping or leaking from the spigot, which does feel pretty lightweight and kind of cheap, but seems to do the job even so. It has been in continuous use since 7/2013, so lots of opportunities for spigot failure, but not a single drip. If you do order this, take a few moments to carefully tighten the spigot and then fill with water to test before you put any other beverage in it. Another reviewer noted this and I followed his/her advice and have had no problems at all.

the lid screws on and you have to flip the straw upright to drink. I have not had any problems with leaks and use daily and throw in my lunch bag. I like this bottle because keeps smoothies cold through the afternoon.

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

yes, you can drink it without the lid. No lip at all, just a smooth stainless cup.

I purchased this for a friend and never saw the item but I own two others that don't have a flip lid. The tops on mine are one piece that unscrew. Perhaps it is to make travel drinking easier while driving or for cleaning?

main cover screws off and could act as a cup, I guess, but bottle itself has a smallish cover that pops up when you push a button. It would be very awkward to drink from.

There is a separate straw lid that you can purchase so you don't have to unscrew that top and drink from the mouth of the bottle.

The lid is designed to look like a real lens. Adding a drink hole would clearly take away from that. However, the lid does have a good seal therefore allowing you to travel safely with it. Use it for soups or something for lunch...or simply drink coffee/cocoa/tea/etc at a table. It really does look better than the picture & is neat to have/use.

You can just suck like normal straw. The spout has a soft rubber surround on it but I think it's just for comfort and ease of drinking.

yes, it is comfortable and does not has sharp edges. If I want to drink my coffee while its too hot I remove the lid and I enjoy drinking

There isn't a spout on the cap. The cap must be unscrewed and the wide-mouth opening revealed in order to take a drink. Your mouth only touches glass.

No, the glasses isolate the temperature of your drinks pretty well, so you will likely not feel if you drink is very hot or very cold.

Its probably ok. Plastic in the lid might start to take on the flavor but i' thinking of getting the all metal replacement lid for mine. Also cold liquid seems to stay really cold it it for quite awhile, i'm assuming it will be the same with hot, it will probably be too hot to hold in your hand.

No, the pop-off lid and the plastic insert are part of what makes up the screw-off top. You screw off (sorry for the redundancy) the entire top to drink. Hopefully that explains it.

Sadly, I'd probably say no because of the top. I feel that, to prevent anything spilling or escaping, I must screw the top on pretty tight. The bottle is a bit heavy, but not unreasonably so. My 3 year old daughter can drink from it fine, she just can't get the top off (which I totally prefer).
