asobuStainless Steel Insulated Coffee Mug with Ceramic Inner Coating for Ultimate Flavor 12 Ounce (Black)

I highly recommend this mug. I have owned it for 2 years and expect it to last forever. I like my coffee piping hot. OK fine, like the family says, boiling hot. This is ceramic mug is perfect. I like how my hand fits in the curved handle - I have been through a few mugs, turns out my arthritic hands don't like the rectangle handles. I like that the edge of the mug is very thin and fits my lips for pleasant sipping. The ceramic coating makes it easy to wipe out the stains. It comes in variety of colors; I chose the color of the Rocinante mugs :-). The plastic lid with rubber guard is sufficient and effective but it is not meant to be spill-proof. With the lid on, my drink stays hot for a couple of hours. With the lid off its about 35 minutes, enough to finish before it gets lukewarm. Some have noted the sliding part of lid gets loose. This is not a deal breaker because I sip with the lid off. And if you are careful when rinsing the lid it will not get loose. Avoid taking the sliding part of lid apart too much otherwise the tiny gasket will get lost which causes it to become "loose". This is not a travel mug per se - it will not fit in a car cup holder unless you have very wide cup holders and a open notch near the bottom for the cup handle, however it fits in my Toyota Tundra cup holders with that middle insert removed. I have dropped this numerous times (note arthritic hands) and no chips or dents! Good quality and fit for purpose!

Keeps my drink cold/hot for a surprisingly long time compared to other ceramic mugs. Doesn’t leak, I like that the rubber band is removable and the design is not complicated so it’s really easy to clean.The only thing is that it’s a little awkward for holding in a single hand (I might just have small hands)So I would like it better if it had a handle (:

I'm very pleased with the features and function of this cup. The ceramic lining makes a very noticeable difference when drinking hot coffee.. no metallic after taste. The lid is simple, seals great and is easy to drink from. Keeps hot drinks hot a long time and the silicone ring on the base keeps polished granite countertops from being scuffed. I recommend this one.

I bought this cup because my tea tastes terrible in stainless steel cups and I couldn't find another ceramic lined that was affordable and had good reviews. If you need this to be leakproof this is not the one, but if you don't need it to travel (I would take mine empty and fill it at work) it is a pretty good cup, a bit too small for me, but better than nothing. I drink TONS of tea, all day long, used metal spoon to stir it with as well and the lining is still in tact and my tea tastes like it should. Wish the lined ones came in a few larger sizes.It's only been a month, but I use it all day long. OH, it keeps hot for at least 6 hrs, I don't do cold so don't know.Any marks in the pictures are from tea staining and/or sugar.

I have ceramic lined pots and pans, which I really like. So I thought I'd give this mug a try and I'm so glad I did. It's very nice with a thick durable ceramic coating. It keeps my coffee hot even without the lid. Some reviews mention chipping. My guess is they are not gentle with a spoon. These need to be handled in the same way as my pots and pans. No metal to ceramic clanking. Just be gentle and you will love this cup

Sort of meh about this cup. I'm keeping it but my search for the perfect coffee cup continues. As shown in the photo, the lid is not the claimed "tight". Liquid freely dribbles out if you knock it over. It's too wide (3 5/16 inch) at the bottom for my cup holder so it's not really a travel mug. It is not dishwasher safe which is annoying. It keeps coffee warm and the lid helps with that. The ceramic liner seems good although it has that odd design of the steel being exposed on the outside of the lip. The handle is functional. Like I said, meh.

This is an awesome insulated travel coffee cup. The ceramic lining is a blessing, no metallic tasting coffee anymore. It fits good in the modern automotive cup holders. If you have the soda can size cup holders, then not going to fit. The cup looks and feels real sturdy, plus it has a pretty stable bottom too. It insulates perfectly and lasts for hours. I like it so much that I think I will purchase a backup one.

First off, I was disappointed when I opened the box and saw I was sent a coffee mug stamped with 12oz 360ml instead of the 16oz 490 ml Ultimate mug that was shown in the listing photos. To be sure I tested the volume and it held 12 oz. I was really hoping to get the 16oz 490ml one that was pictured. Also the measurements provided in listing do not match what was received. Listing shows 3.5" wide x 4.75" tall, whereas I measure 3.375" wide by 4.5" tall. I already have a ceramic 14oz mug I wanted to replace with an insulated glass or ceramic one. I have some excellent stainless surface travel mugs, one with a nice handle but I do not like the taste steel imparts and I prefer glass or ceramic. This mug definitely looks nice, holds temperature well and has a ceramic coating over the steel core. The half-round handle makes the mug tend to tilt to side as you hold it. An ear shaped handle would be better. The lid is serviceable as it helps the beverage maintain temperature and seems splash proof while walking around or driving. If you hold the mug upside down or it falls over on it's side, liquid will seep out even with lid slider closed (unlike my two travel mugs). But for what I will use it for, sitting at my desk or even car trip, that is not really a problem. You must hand wash and be gentle, with no dishwasher, microwave or freezer usage. Because it holds temperature well, no reheating in microwave is not of any concern. Very solid desirable mug, I just would have preferred to receive the 16oz 490ml Ultimate mug shown in listing. (BTW, their shorter, wider cork bottomed one did not interest me as much as the Ultimate)
