How long does it take to heat up a drink in the microwave on average? Is it noticeably faster than a normal glass or ceramic mug?

I have not used in microwave and would not. I was always taught no metal in microwave, this mug is very much metal. Heat your drink and transfer to the mug it will keep it hot

Well techniquely you wouldn't want to put this mug in the microwave because it is metal. I mean unless you were looking to explode you drink and/or your microwave. However, if you heat your drink in a separate vessel, and then put it in the mug, it stays warm much longer than glass or ceramic will.

i never put metal in a microwave..cause it does not work...heat your drink in glass, transfer it to your mug when hot

No metal in the microwave. You can either learn this the easy way or the hard way: youtube.com/watch?v=u_yg5eKjA4U

I have always done longer times in the microwave. Most pieces are a minimum of 3.5 minutes and depending on how many layers of glass, it could be longer. The millefiori takes the longest. Try longer times. Make sure the lid is level. I hope it works for you! I've gotten great pieces out of it

My experience is about 3-1/2 minutes for a large mug. This matches the manufacturer's spec sheet, which says "Max. Brew Time Under 3-1/2 minutes".

sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you. i think it is luke warm to warm. my coffee is hot. i would also like to tell you that i was going through some old papers and i found the papers that came with the cups. you can put them in the microwave up to 2 mins. you can also put it in the dishwasher on the top rack only and only on normal cycle with normal heat dry. i still wash mine by hand. ever since i bought these i have loved them. i haven't look for any other ones. i hope this helps.

Yeah, probably not as hot as quickly as glass, but yes. One nice thing is the bigger containers have handles, which tend to stay cooler longer and you can often pick them up by the handle without a potholder or anything. Everything gets hot to some degree in the microwave.

Hello George, here is the secret....I pour boiling water into this mug first thing in the morning while I make my breakfast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid closed to fully pre-heat the mug. I then dump the hot water, pouring through the lid to pre-heat the lid.I then pour extra-hot coffee into the thermos and seal it up tight. I then have my coffee break at work, 3-4 hours later and it is too hot to drink! If I waited longer to open it, I'm sure it would be nice and hot!

I have used them in the microwave and had no problem, but i've only done that once ar maybe twice,,, the glass is relatively thick as well, there is a big seam down the side of the glass, opposite the handle, but we didn't think this was a big deal, they are nice mugs, 17 oz is to the very top of the rim....btw, I use them for coffee, tea, hot chocolate

I have the jug type frother, as well. I like the SlickFroth much better. With the SlickFroth, I heat the milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then the SlickFroth for about 15 seconds. Still, it's much faster than the jug frother, which takes about 2 minutes. One more note, I also have an AeroLatte portable (similar to Kuissential's) whisk type frother; I like the SlickFroth the BEST!

no, i was surprised it really is simply a mug size. Actually, if I microwave a mug (if I'm in a rush) of coffee, I can't dump all of it into the to-go. * and, if you are sometimes late too - microwave it in a mug rather than the to-go because it's too hot to hold...

I'm not sure about "faster than a microwave" but if you put in a cup or so of water, it will take about a minute to boil

I put this mug in the microwave every morning for about 40 seconds to heat the milk for my coffee. Never have had a problem.

Like a ceramic mug compared to a glass mug, not much difference. I own this one and a glass French press, as you know neither are insulated. If I have a second cup, I have to heat it up.

I put it in the microwave with no problems at all. Coffee stays hot for a long time but if I'm busy and wait too long I put it in the microwave to warm it back up. Works very well.

It is a low even heat. I would say 30 min or so. I still use the microwave method for a single cup. But I love the cup warmer and leave it on mornings or all day on my days off so that cups are always ready to go.

Yes. I wouldn't put it in the microwave for long, if you do, but I do put warm drinks in mine.

Not sure if it is, but I can state that 1 min in a 900watt caused the mug to be EXTREMELY HOT but the coffee was still cool. I didn't handle it for several minutes until the mug cooled because I was afraid it would fall apart. Love the mug, but I will never put it in the microwave again...
