Is it strange drinking out of a square mug or do you not notice the funny shape?

It's not tricky at all once you get used to it. I have no problems either. I liked this mug so much I got one as a Christmas gift for my mom, but she hated the square shape. She admits that she's a klutz, so she was afraid she'd spill on herself. Luckily my sister, who's a way bigger Whovian than our mom anyway, was happy to take it off her hands! Neither of us find it hard to drink from at all. So I suppose it just depends on the person.

hard to say, I'm all out of the product. I don't remember any odd taste or it deteriorating in the cup at all. Most likely a thick porous paper.

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.

I actually decided not to use mine for drinking. I just added it to my mug collection. I didn't notice a smell upon opening mine, but one should be careful about drinking from a lot of plastic things. BPA is bad for you. Not sure what all this particular mug is made out of, however. Kind of sucks. I really just wanted it because it's cute.

You can see a few here and there but it's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. If you're on the fence about this cup - order it. :)

I don't think so... I have had mine a while and I remember a regular shaped mug, but not this shape... I purchased mine separately. They are my favorite shape mugs ever!

The best answer is that it is NOT sharp. Not sure how rounded it is but it is not a problem drinking out of it. Nothing sharp about the edge.

Mine is like the 2nd and 3rd photos. It has the larger label, and just says "MUNCHEN" below the HB symbol. When you turn the mug upside down and look at the very bottom it just has a J, an STo symbol and an 8 molded in the glass.

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. :-)

The bottoms of the mugs are not flat, they are slightly convex. If you turn the mug upside down and pour water on it- a very small amout of water will pool in the botom. Yet, when you just look at the bottom, it appears to be flat.

the top is squared, the sides are slightly beveled and the bottom is rounded. I place the cube round side up and my drink pours smoothly into my glass. excellent product

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

No, it gets too hot! And the belt does not adjust well to other shapes! I had a hard time with the mugs.

I've been drinking coffee out of it--hot, hot, hot! I put it in the mic to heat it up, and it is fine. It is ceramic, so treat it like any ceramic mug, and it will be fine. :)

No. Even with the O-ring problems it is one of the best purchases I have made recently. I no longer use a regular coffee cup. I enjoy lingering over my coffee and it is just the way I like it from the first sip to the last.

I've only had a few varieties that turned bitter but I drink almost all herbals. I will say, the mug doesn't keep the water hot for a terribly long time, so I end up drinking it pretty fast before the bitterness really sets in.

I agree with J. Bauer comment! If your nose touches the hole it will stop the flow of whatever you're drinking. Maybe just check the hole as well make sure it is not partially clogged with something.
