can I drink coffee directly from the mug while driving without worying about spilling (does it have a mechanism for opening/closing a drinking port?

It takes 2 hands to open the mug since the lid unscrews and comes off, like a jar.

you can drink directly from the mug while driving, however it is a screw top, not a sliding drinking port that opens the top. so if you are worried about spilling, yes you can spill as the entire top is open (there is a mesh strainer since this is originally designed for drinking loose leaf tea), however if you are worried about leaks from the seal, no I've never had mine leak.

I use it driving all the time but it doesn't have any mechanism for opening, it's a screw on top. So you have to remove the top to drink, but because it's a tall slim mug, the opening isn't so big that it spills easily. Hope that helps

No mechanism. It has a 2 screw tops. One that seals it and another with a mesh screen filter built in. I have used it for coffee and cocoa with out spilling, but it is like drinking out of a cup. Once you take off the top screw top, it is pretty much open (with messh), but the contents (drink) sits about 1/2" - 1" below the rim.

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 hole in the lid does not close (it is just a hole), but it is designed so that it will not slosh out ... and the mug keeps the coffee hot for a long time.

I had the same concern - couldn't figure out why the thing didn't work as a traditional "commuter" mug. It isn't. Think old-school thermos. Unscrew the top and drink or pour. And be careful if driving - the liquid stays hot.

I press the button for open and close on top, I love the mug , I use it everyday, it doesn't spill, give it a real good cleaning once in a while.

I just tested one in the microwave, having filled the mug near to the top. I used the "beverage" button and found the liquid hot and the handle cool. Previously, I'd just poured freshly brewed coffee into the mug with good result - handle stayed cool, no damage to the glass.

No, and the movable pieces leak the coffee inside the mug when full, the seal is not very good. I will not suggest if you want to use it in car-cup holder for long distance trips. Good enough for a 10-15 mile drive.

No its a push button to open the lid to sip from. Best seal-able coffee cup, but a pain to clean.

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.

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.

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..

No, it 'POPs' on and off. It forms a good seal so no coffee leaks out as you drink. The top is also made of a HARD plastic. I LOVE the travel mug because it won't fall over while driving. Put it on the dash and leave it and not have to worry.

2 yes' and 2 no's. Interesting. I didn't know they made a "spill proof" lid for ANY coffee pot. However, I do not have any trouble with this one. And, as someone else said, you can sneak a cup while it is still brewing.

No. The handle is in the way. The mugs are great and we love them but not for fitting in auto cup holder. Richard

I used this mug on a Keurig without a problem. Even with larger cups, the drip screen can be removed to make more room.

Yes, at least with mine. I have a removable bottom on my Keurig that just slides out (for easier cleaning). I just remove that and the travel mug slides right under it with no problem.

I have a 6 1/4" travel mug that easily clears the spout when the drip tray is removed. If I'm filling a large thermos I pull out the coffee reservoir and pour directly from there. It too, has a spout. But be very careful doing that! It's really hot!
