has everyone found this glass mug easy to hand wash? I have arthritis, so a narrow squeeze would hurt my hand. thank you for your feedback.

This mug is large enough to get your hand inside. I love these mugs. They look so pretty on the table and the best part is you can put them in the microwave!!!

Yes, it is actually very easy to me. With the glass having a wide entrance it makes it easy to reach all the way to the bottom without even touching the sides of the glass. I don't have a tiny hand either if that helps lol.

It also helps if you set it upside down inside a glass or something to hold it. That leaves both hands free. Also, I agree about only buying the big size. It still only holds about 4.5 ounces - just barely over half a cup! I wish they made even bigger ones!

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.

If Klean Kanteen recommends hand washing, that's good enough for me. Easily washed and dried by hand and if that will keep my cup great for the near future it's not that much of an inconvenience. I read their recommendation prior to purchasing mine and thought it not to be unreasonable. Mine has not seen the inside of my dishwasher and I don't intend to ever try it. Love the cup!!!

This tea mug is glass and it is very heavy for me. I have arthritic hands and have only used it once. It's a great idea but doesn't work for me.

Iv been drinking hot tea out of it so I hope so lol its also dishwasher safe :-) it's a good sized mug the only thing I don't like about it is the square shape kinda gets on my nerves sometimes. If the person you're buying it for is a doctor who fan they will love it. :-)

There is no glass in this mug. The body is made of stainless steel, and can therefore not be microwaved. It has a colored finish on the body which would flake off if you put it in the dishwasher, so you must hand wash the body. The lid is plastic, and is dishwasher safe.

Sorry I can't answer your question. It broke when it slipped out if my hand while washing it. I was actually wanting to replace a discontinued Starbucks brand db wall ceramic mug that had a much better grippable shape.

I wouldn't recommend it, at least for the base. Water somehow got stuck in what I believe was the handle so each time you shake it, water swishes around. Because I hand wash it, this mug has been with me for 7+ years

I do not have the luxury of a dishwasher. I alway wash by hand. The cup is made of glass, only thinner than regular glassware. I made the mistake of dropping mine into the sink and the enter linning cracked. I will definitely purchase a new one because I love the size and it keeps my coffee warm longer.

The information that came with the mug said not to put it in the dishwasher, so I don't. I would think that repeated cleaning in the dishwasher might make the rubber (or whatever material it is) on the bottom of the mug come unglued. The lip and inside of the mug is ceramic and very easy to clean. After my last cup, I just rinse it out and wipe dry to get the water spots off.

Could someone please reply to the above post. I love this mug, but I want to make sure I can find a lid that fits. There is not much point to buying simply a mug without being able to make sure that it is travel friendly.Thanks!

Yes. It's a great mug. The glass is pretty thick I put them thru the dishwasher with no problems.

I don't have a dishwasher, but having had my (various sizes) glasses for over a year now, I have noticed that the outer plastic and the inner glass expand and contract at different rates (i.e. if you close the lid too soon after pouring boiling water into the glass, it occasionally leaks). Besides, rinsing it works just fine, even after coffee.

I LOVE MY MUGS BUT YOU MUST CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL THEY BREAK EASY. When my first order came both broken, replacement order I broke one washing it. But they do keep your beverage much warmer longer than other mugs. (yes I did do a test with several different mug styles). I threaten my husband with his life not to break the last one.

I use mine to keep my tea hot, and it was still hot many hours later. No idea on this one. I did make a discovery this morning that this cup can't be shaken, or else the liquid comes out of it. How is it for you? I have tried dumping a little liquid out to no avail. I tried it dry with no avail. I am drying it out right now, and I am going to try it again. With both of our problems, maybe this ISN'T a good mug. I might have given my review too early. Don't know.

Very easy to wash. I absolutely love these mugs. Plan on buying even more!!!
