Does the length prevent it from being used in a mug? The length seems longer than the width of an ordinary mug.

If you are expecting it to float, then yes, the length does prevent it from being used in a normal size mug. However, since the whole "joke" is that the teatanic sinks, then it will fit fine once you put it into the hot water.

It sticks out of the tea cup for sure! But I think that's the concept behind it-make it look like its the sinking Titanic ship. when you fill it properly the tea still infuses properly. We have not had any issues with it.

No, you are correct, that it is too long to float sitting across the top of the mug. It ends up bow down as if going under... the way the original Titanic was last seen near the surface. For added realism, make iced tea.

It sticks out of the mug a little, which is good cuz then you can hold onto it and stir your tea. I usually pack the tea so that it only reaches where it will be covered by water.

It is longer than the width of any mug. But that hardly matters since you are putting the teatanic vertically not horizontally.

Absolutely NOT....it will only take mugs up to 4.5" and my taller "coffee" cups won't fit, let alone a travel mug.

I don't have the mug with me right now, but I have a Keurig B60 brewer and this mug just barely fits in the brewing area when the bottom piece is removed. That's with the lid of the mug removed, and the lid adds about another half inch or so. So that will give you an idea.

Yes. The opening is more rounded. It's not a slit that so many travel mugs use.

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 have one of those, and it fits in it just fine. It is definitely long enough, because, it sticks out of the cup about 3 inches :)

Never tried it but I feel pretty sure that the diameter is to large for cup holders. It is not as skinny as a travel mug by Contigo.

We have had no problems with the mug in the microwave. Because of the large mouth it doesn't hold the heat as well as I thought it should.

The mug is 6 inches high so you will need to measure to see if the mug will fit.

Hi, So I'm actually in the process of moving so the cup is in a box..somewhere. However, the mug is very skinny. If you were to place it next to any coffee mug you own, they would be about the same height, but the width of this cup is like half the size. sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

Hello,It does not open up but it will hold a flat bottom "normal" size coffee mug. The handle to the mug extends through the holder opening framework so it could be accidentally bumped. I like it because it fits a variety of glass sizes, in general. My advise is to call the manufacture to get the internal diameter measurement to see if it fits your favorite mug. I hope this info helps you!

I just tried. It does not fit a normal mug. This is an espresso machine and is designed for espresso cups. Great machine.

A six inch cup, a full size travel mug will NOT fit, that was one improvement they did not make. I use a smaller cup and transfer it to my travel cup. Hope this helps.

The mug that comes with the maker is 7 inches tall. There is a 1/4 inch well that it fits into so I wouldn't go over 6.25 in. I have been able to fit every mug I have without a problem.

Great product! I have an average coffee mug. I don't think it would fit a teapot. I don't use it for taht. I use it for my tea/coffee mug. I don't drink coffee, but I drink my tea in a mug not a tea cup. I would think a teacup would be a bit shallow.

I am not sure. I don't own one tho I could. I chose not to as I have heard many stories on dishwashers including having to either: rinse first or wash it a little. But that is my perference. I imagine it might be as it is made of stainless steel and the dark material seems sturdy enough. I would ask the manufacture (not Amazon) of the mug themselves just to make sure. But I do love my mug immensely. It is the best I have ever had. They don't sell mugs like that here in Green Bay, WI. And so does my husband. No spills or accidental tip overs for us anymore!

Hi L.E. It is, but the is a little indent groove where the lid fits snug on the mug! But it's not noticeable as your drinking out of the mug. In fact when I'm at home I usually don't use the lid.
