Would one be able to enjoy other beverages in this mug or is it like purely for Moscow mules? Kind of like how Sam Adams has it's own glass ...?

Hello Ashley, the mug is not just for Moscow Mules. You certainly will enjoy your drink in this moscow mule copper mug but at the same time you can enjoy beer, vodka and other favorite beverages. I avoid hot ones like coffee or tea. Iced tea is fine. Thank you for asking.

yes, the only issue I found with it, you need to heat the cup up with hot water and even then, it doen't stay as warm as other mugs. But I love glass over plastic. The aluminium travel cups from Thermos aren't plastic and they keep drinks hot for longer.

Yep! The bottom light gray part of the lid has a rubbery grip texture. It's where you would naturally hold the mug to drink out of so it works great, but the bottom part of the mug is all metal.

Oh, no! The glass, especially at the rim, is quite thin and delicate, rather like crystal, and in fact, the glass "rings" when you tap it. I always hand wash it. Freezing is just for sturdy mugs.

It's strictly a shaving mug. Imagine a shaving brush swirling inside it ... just enough room for that. And, by the way, if you are looking for a shaving mug, this is great. The typical ones are like coffee mugs and hard to move the brush inside.

The copper mug was a marketing ploy used by the makers of ginger beer .....but it does keep the drink icy cold and it looks cool...my son and daughter in law love them!

I gave it to my Grandmother as a Christmas gift and it was definitely more for show than for use. I wouldn't suggest drinking from it since it's a Royal Albert, but if you wish to, you can!

Lisa, thank you for the question. For this mug we are not planning a hammered mug version. But soon we will be introducing 100% copper hammered mug.

I honestly have not looked. I have lightly banged the mug in my car and in my bag but the glass seems to be holding strong. I have not dropped it or hit it on metal yet. A sleeve on the bottom and sides would be a better solution but it would still most likely break when dropped.

I use these glasses are really tea mugs rather than the typical tea cup with saucer. They are much smaller than a typical 12 oz mug, but PERECT for multiple small infusions. I looked on the Adagio site for you and they don't make saucers for any of their tea mugs. They do have larger tea cups with glass saucers to match, though and they are available right here on amazon.

The cup would hold hot beverages just fine, but copper is a great conductor of both cold and heat. I just put some HOT water in a mug and within 30 seconds the cup as well as the handle became too hot to hold. If you were to wear an oven mitt while drinking your hot tea or coffee you should be just fine, but for bare handed use I would not advise it!

Unfortunately, the item is a plane Solid Copper Moscow Mule Mug and can not be engraved. There are item's engraved but in different styles.

It works best with cold beverages, but I have a smaller bubba mug that I use for hot coffee and it keeps it hot. I think its a 24oz. . Enjoy your mug.

Definitely to drink from. Zojirushi actually makes other "thermos" style containers for use with a separate cup if that's what you're going for.

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 got this specifically because it's designed to drink right out of the Thermos instead of using a cup. There are other similar models that have a cup though, so you should be able to find one you like :)

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.
