Is this easy to drink out of with the lid off? I will be using it mostly as a lidless mug. Thanks!

Never have tried it that way, but I imagine it would be fine. Drinks well with lid on as well

The best Mug ever.Never tried without the lid. I think the temperature would not be staying hot for long.

Yes, it has a nice fine rim which makes it easy to use that way. It is one of the best thermal travelers we have ever bought and love the stainless steel. Easy to clean and keep germ free.

I tried it, and the very edge of the cup is very thin, then it flares and gets thicker, making it difficult to sip. However, it is the best mug I have ever had for keeping liquids hot. I wouldn't want to drink out of it with out the lid while driving or distracted at all.

I'm sorry I never used the mug with the lid off so I really can't help you.

It's a "straw" connected to the lid but it's hard plastic, not soft. It's pretty good for non-spill. I don't think you'll find a completely non-spill cup ever! haha. But this comes pretty close. It will drip liquid if you turn it upside down and shake it though.

I believe you can remove the straw from the bottom of the lid but then you'd need to remove the lid in order to drink from it. I wouldn't remove the part of the straw that is above the lid because it wouldn't keep your drink warm or cold.

Yes lid is taken off completely because this is a thermos not a travel mug. If you want a flip lid buy the flip lid style

I have had no experience drinking directly from this cup. It is a big mug, which I think you could drink directly from, but I have not tried it. It would be too much coffee for me, then again, with the top on it, the coffee would remain warm for a long time so I could take my time drinking it. Sorry to be vague... It's worth the try.

Yes, very easy to clean. The lid stays attached. it has a lever that lifts the lid. The lid stays open to put your hand inside to wash the inside out. Because it is glass cleaning is very easy.

It doesn't have lid that you can drink out of, just a top that screws on, so only way to drink out is taking lid completely off. So not really designed to drink out of.

The lid for this cup screws on. It's reasonably easy to put on or take off, and you can screw it on so that the cup is right or left handed, so to speak. There's a slider for the drinking opening, so that you can close it if you're in a sensitive-to-spills situation.

Yes..it has a feature on the lid that allows you to drink from this without removing the lid..and also the lid can be removed to pour into the cup..

Nearly all mugs that are leak proof or leak resistant have some sort of mechanism to open and close it. If you are actively drinking from the mug, you don't have to close it each time. Just open it a half turn. Very little heat will escape. I only close mine if I am carrying it or if I walk away from it for a period of time.

The entire lid does come off. I wouldn't advise taking the entire lid apart. You have to push the button to drink from it. There is no locking open position.

You just nuzzle it into the cup... for unknown reasons, sometimes it nuzzles in and off easier than others. But I always get it "into" (on) and off. Still LOVE this mug! There is no "guard" to slide -- the drinking hole is there always, so if you have too much liquid inside, it can "spit" at you... =)

It's as good as you're likely to get, short of a thermos. I've had mine for a few years now, and the lid is still pretty good if you're carrying something thick like a stew, but a tiny bit leaky if you're carrying something really liquid like chicken stock, especially if the lid is cold. I always tie the mug into a plastic bag if I think it might tip in my backpack. The advice to hand-wash the lid rather than putting into the dishwasher is good: I think if you did that the lid would keep its watertight qualities longer.

The lid is perfect. I have not had any leaks at all. Even if I turn it upside down nothing leaks. The lid is also very easy to use and one of the reasons I bought it. Just push the button to release the drink!

The sipping lid has air flow and drink holes. There is a separate lid that screws on to close the mug.

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

Ed: I rhink our mug will fit your objectives. Our mugs are stainless steel inside and out and that is very easy to clean. Furthermore, the interior that holds your liquids, etc is smooth and has no seams. We also use a lid sealing system that means the lid sides are smooth and easy to clean. The o ring gasket is around the outside of the lid so its not in contact with mug contents (see product images). I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact us again.
