Do you have to remove the whole lid and sip it like a cup or is there a built in sipping part that we can't see?

You are correct. You must remove the whole lid to take a drink. I was a little weary of this at first, but it is easy to drink from.

I wish I had asked this question before purchase - no the lid does not have an opening to take a sip. Just a plane lid you slip on and twust to seal. Having said that I still would purchase.Roger

It's attached to the lid of the mug which screws off for cleaning (and separates into 2 pieces plus a silicone ring/gasket). With one hand you can press the button and the lid springs up and back and stays there until you close it. It won't flip down while you drink. I saw some reviewers complain that some of the lid/latch mechanism interferes with drinking but I have not found this to be the case. I love this mug. If you want hot liquids to stay very hot for several hours, this is for you. It's beautifully designed. My only complaint is that it has a high center of gravity. So it you have a big dog with tail that sweeps items off a coffee table... then maybe another mug :-) It's attached to the lid of the mug which screws off for cleaning (and separates into 2 pieces plus a silicone ring/gasket).

Oh no. You can drink with or without a straw. With or without the lid. With or without the lid and the straw. There are three ways to drink from these cups. The lid even has 2 different openings to drink from it.

Yes you do need to take entire cap off to drink. Top opening is about an inch and a half wide.

no, it isn't. you unscrew the cap and drink from the mug. the cap is not made to drink from it, just to cover the mug.

It is not a sip type lid, it is wide open... So, if you want it for travel, it is not designed for drinking on the go because you need both hands to unscrew and open it (hold lid and container separately) plus you have to be still to take a drink, otherwise you'll be covered in hot tea very easily.

There is only one opening, it is suitable for a straw or for sipping. There is a 1mm pinhole that allows air through when you are drinking. The lid will prevent spilling when walking with the container in hand, or driving, or on a bike, but it does not seal the container or allow you to invert it.

Yes. The silver top of the mug is actually the lid. It screws on, but you do have to unscrew the lid to take a sip.

Yes, you can sip with the lid in place. It doesn't spill but if it fell over, It would. The bottom pad came off the bottom and the handle is peeling. Also, you can NOT put this in the dishwasher because water gets inside and will leak out when you are using the cup. I would not get this one again.

No cup included. It is a little large to drink from, but not impossible. I have done it more than once.

You drink directly from the glass not through the plastic cap. You have to take the cap off to drink the beverage.

There is no "drinking lid". I think that sometimes the Chinese manufacturers will copy descriptions from other similar products, but don't speak the language well enough to know the difference. :) I'd make the same mistake or worse, for sure. :) For what it's worth, I love this product. But I did find the exact same cup for $7.99 from another seller. The cool thing was, I ordered 7 of them, but they only charged shipping for one! I drilled a sip hole in one lid and it works great (needs a small hole on the opposite side of the lid to let air out). Hope this helps. Sincerely Doug

It does have a sipping option with the lid on. The secret is to turn the "gizmo" on the lid so it opens. This one has a screw-on lid, which is so much better in case one drops it. My old lens cup didn't screw on but was just pushed down in place, and it spilled when I would drop it. The new ones are much nicer.

Yes. You can drink or sip from it without the lid, but you would be doing so from the full 3" opening as you would from a regular drinking cup.

The top is hinged to the cap and not the body of the thermos. When the top Is open it remains open while drinking. This is completed by the use of an interior spring on the hinge.

There's a button in the middle of the lid that you press to seal and unseal it, and then there are two openings to drink from.
