W&P Porter Ceramic Mug w/ Protective Silicone Sleeve, Cream 16 Ounces | On-the-Go | Reusable Cup for Coffee or Tea | Portable | Dishwasher Safe

I like this. It's exactly what I anticipated receiving. It's a simple ceramic mug with a silicone sleeve instead of a handle. It's not double walled, so it does get hot when you put boiling water into it. It cools to a comfortable temp fairly quickly. It has a basic lid that is not leak proof, but protects you from splashes or dribbles. I wouldn't recommend giving it to kids or using it while you base jump, but if you're making yourself a nice cup of tea to sit down and enjoy, this is a very cute and comfortable mug.

I originally bought a pink terrazzo 16 oz tumbler but ended up returning it because I really wanted the cream terrazzo which was out of stock at the time. Glad I did. I ordered the cream when it was back in stock and I think is a bit thicker and more substantial compared to the pink. A lot of reviews mention that it is thin and gets really hot when pouring tea water in. Hopefully this new batch is a little better about that. I use it primarily for coffee so that is not an issue for me. I wanted a portable mug that was ceramic and microwaveable which is surprisingly hard to find. This checks all my boxes so I am happy with it. I don’t have a dishwasher and it has held up well with hand washing. I try to avoid using metal spoons to stir my drinks because they mildly scratch the bottom. I use chopsticks as an easy substitute. Other reviewers who marked it lower have legitimate complaints (especially for the price) but for my intended use the mug is attractive and functional.

First, let's be clear about this mug's limitations. It's ceramic so it's just not going to keep your beverage warm for as long as one of those vacuum sealed stainless steel mugs. I've tried several of those but find that they work TOO well, keeping my tea scalding hot for so long I have to wait hours and hours before it's even safe to drink. This one's performance is pretty much the same as any old coffee mug, which is exactly what I want. Next, the lid is really only there to prevent splashes. There's no way a push-on lid with a sliding valve like this will ever be leak proof. If you need that, you should look for something with a screw-on lid and a locking valve. Personally, I don't use the lid much at all, but it does help to prevent spills during the long walk from the break room back to my office. It also helps to keep dust out when I'm on the factory floor, but I'd never even consider tossing it in a bag. Understanding all that, this mug still seemed to be exactly what I was looking for: something to use around the office that looked really sleek and unique. I've had it for quite a while now, using it pretty much every day, and it still looks brands new. The ceramic has a nice satin finish, with smooth rounded edges that are really comfortable to drink from and easy to clean. Conceptually, I don't mind the lack of a handle. Most regular coffee mugs have tiny little handles that you can barely get a single finger through or they have a weird shape which makes them really uncomfortable to carry, especially when they're of a larger size. Conversely, the silicone sleeve of this mug has a very nice texture in the hand, is easy to remove, and quite durable. It can be a little annoying during cleaning because it traps a lot of water, but that's hardly a deal breaker. I also like that it cushions the bottom of the mug, giving it a soft landing when setting it down on a hard surface and making it very quiet. However, there are some serious design flaws, all of which relate to the silicone sleeve. While it feels nice to hold, it doesn't do much to stop the heat from migrating through to your hand. You can hold it for maybe 15-seconds before you have to put it down or risk a second degree burn. To safely make the journey back to my desk, I have to put a layer of crumpled paper towel between the mug and my hand. The bottom of the mug also has a slight curve to the edges which makes the base less stable. This is only exacerbated by the sleeve which doesn't always sit perfectly flat with the bottom of the mug, making it rock very easily. The hole in the bottom of the sleeve can also act like a suction cup, causing it to unexpectedly stick to your desktop. When you reach for the mug, expecting to easily pick it up, you could find that it instead sticks for a split second, which is a great way to flirt with disastrous spills. I feel a slight redesign of the sleeve would fix all these problems. A creped design, like is used on disposable cardboard coffee cups, would help with the heat transfer. You can even buy these already, but I'd prefer not to lose the nice smooth look of the original. I'm sure the company could come up with something that had a smooth exterior and a creped interior which would deliver the increased performance needed while still retaining the sleek look. The air spaces would also prevent it from turning into a suction cup and help to let any trapped water get out. Next, they need to give this redesigned sleeve a squared-off base that still wraps around the bottom of the mug. This would give it a nice stable base while keeping the cushioning on the bottom. If the manufacturer addressed these issues, it would make this a near perfect mug for me.

Pros: 1. fits in most single serve coffee makers 2. looks cool, sleek, and modern Cons: 1. it's just an expensive mug 2. Only stays warm for about 30mins, might be a pro if you plan to drink fresh coffee in one sitting 3. lid is splash resistant, will leak if carried carelessly 4. it is microwavable, but it is just a mug, it will be too hot to carry because it has no separate handle When I first got this mug I loved how it looked and felt. I've been on a mission to find the perfect cool looking travel mug for work. It looked great, it was my style, fit inside the smallest coffee maker at work, and it got plenty of compliments at work. I tested it out for a few days and noticed it would not retain warmth for longer than 30 minutes. It might be good if you wanted to quickly finish coffee, but if you forget about it it will be cold by the time you finish it. I wanted something that I could confidently throw in my bag. You cannot do this with this mug, the lid will leak if held upside down. It does work if you finished your drink and have a small amount of liquid sitting in it, then you'll be okay having it sit right side up in your bag. I did find a replacement lid "1 Wine Tumbler Silicon Lid 12 oz Spill Proof" it virtually makes the mug spill proof, but detracts from the its look. So the greatest draw back for me is that it doesn't stay warm. I will be looking for vacuum mugs instead. So far everything that checks my criteria looks boring. I just got a Fellow Carter Everywhere Mug, it seems promising. I also ordered a Fellow Carter move Mug that comes with a splash guard. The issue is both don't have a splash proof drinkable lid, hopefully one day I'll find the perfect mug for me. It's hard to do that all while being under 5inches in height!

These are very pretty BUT the offer no insulation for your hands with hot items. Kept warm for about 90 minutes. Not worth the price as now I have to buy a copies so I can hold the mug.

I bought this mug because I am allergic to nickel that can be present and stainless steel mugs and rubber, which I am leery might be present in mugs with rubber grips. Since this is ceramic and silicone, I gave it a shot. Although I was a little skeptical about the price. My very first thought was that this mug actually feels like curiously soft. Like it is buttery soft, almost like a pair of Lularoe leggings. Unlike most to travel mugs, it is pleasant to drink from without the lid on, but not annoying to drink out of with the lid on. The lid is decent, it will leak, and it is easy for the cover two in advertently be opened when you don’t want it to be. But if you want a decadent cup of coffee and don’t need to worry about spelling, this is in excellent mug. Edited to add: I should say, it gets very hot to the touch. I usually give it a minute or two after pouring my coffee before I will hold it. Also, while it is better at keeping my coffee hot than a regular lidless ceramic mug, it doesn’t keep coffee warm forever (I’m guessing an hour or less). Nonetheless, I still love the mug.

I bought this mug six years ago and have used it pretty consistently since then. It still looks perfect. And I get happy when I use it. I see an lot of complaints on here about heat retention. This is not an insulated mug. It's just a cute ceramic coffee mug with a silicone cover that makes it easy to hold. This company does have heat-trapping tumblers, but these are just mugs. As it says in the description. So it seems silly to complain about something not being an entirely different product.

Its beautiful to look at, I got the ivory color one. It looks great with my other cups in the kitchen because being ceramic and color and design. Did I mention? It is VERY soft to the touch. Perfect for cold drinks. It fits in the car cup holder and it is the perfect size for my lunch bag. I love the ceramic feel on my lips, I dislike stainless steel. Problems are: How hot it gets with coffee/tea, heat retention and leakage. When I drink tea or coffee, I can’t hold it until the drink cools off somewhat. It burns my hands. Once the drink cools off some, I love to hold it because it is super soft on the outside. My lid leaks too.
