I ordered 3 of these for Christmas presents and was NOT notified until 4 days AFTER they should have been delivered that they were out of stock. By that time they were hard to find anywhere, and it was too late to order from another source.

Overall, this product does what it promises.
Two suggestions to the maker. 1)Please produce a bottle more attractive to female. This is too masculine. 2) Make the top part easier to clean.
Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the product.

As happy as this product once made me, I can’t help but give it a one-star rating. Not only does it leak, but it leaks unpredictably. When your wardrobe and electronics are in constant danger, there’s no middle ground between 1 and 5 stars.
The first few weeks were great. It held heat and liquid as advertised. But, over time, hot liquid causes the seal to get sucked up and away from the metal body. I just took a sip and in the time it took to set it down, it spilled on my jeans and computer. Even worse, the vacuum insulation seems to have given out. At least the spills are less scalding now.
What angers me is that this product has such promise. For lack of a better seal (and proper customer response from Thermos) the brilliant engineering behind this product is for naught. I’ve given it as a gift in the past and I shudder to think what my friends think about the faulty Thermos I gave them.

Forgive me for being blunt, but this mug is in no way friendly to drinking your joe on a commute to work. In fact, I can’t see it being useful as a “backpack” bottle, unless you’re carrying a shot of something really fancy, because it just doesn’t hold much of anything. But I digress.
The lid on this thing is ridiculous. It is a hinged pop-top, like what you’d find on a breadmaker, and it’s nearly 2 inches thick. I’m a small girl, and I can hardly fit my face into the tiny, deeply recessed drinking trough; my nose bumps against the dang top contraption. If you’re sitting on a bus, you have to open and close this thing every time you want a sip, which means flipping the little metal lock off, pushing the button, and spronging the top open. When the top is open, the whole cap of the thing is 5.5 inches across. If you were driving in your car and wanted to sip your coffee, you’d have to pull over, because you cannot see around the breadmaker top. Funny too, it boasts the canister is shaped to fit the average vehicle’s cup-holder, but they neglected to mention that it likely would not (or would probably tip itself over) with the top open. Talk about top-heavy.
I would not have bought this mug had there been photos of it with the top open. I’ll post some of my own.
