Mug Reviews

I bought these off of my sister who sells tupperware, they're great for a lot of things. My 3 year old nephew loves them because you can fill the cup without the worry of whether the contents will be spilt. They're also great for taking in the car because as you're driving you don't have to worry about opening a bottle or taking your eyes off the road because the hole allows for a straw. Overall I would recomend these cups to everyone.

I'm a 30 year old diplomat and I spill all the time when I drink from a glass. I don't know why it happens but my mom thinks its the reason I'm not married. Its pretty embarrassing on the diplomatic circuit when you are pouring half your gin and tonic on your neck tie. Imagine what those other diplomats must think about Americans. Well I was so upset about all of this I almost gave up hope...then these cups came along. Wow. The little hole allows me to drink like a pro and not spill a drop. Now I'm a hit at all the parties. I like the purple one the best... ...

When our daughters started to get tsk-tsk-tsk from their dentist, it was time to ditch the juice boxes for lunches. But what, to replace it with? Bottled water at 50 cents a pop? Sippy cups to make them feel 3-years old again?

These Tupperware cups are great for school lunches and in the car. They are big, and won't easily fit in a metal lunch box. Instead, we found soft-sided lunch bags which nicely fit a lunch plus the Tupperware cups (Hello Kitty brand, with a built-in thermos we quickly ditched).

Day one, the girls thought they were being downgraded to sippy cups, but with a cool straw everyday they now like and enjoy their water cups.

Highly recommended for elementary school kids. A bit expensive, but worth it.

My husband bought this for me once I bought a spinning bike...and he rarely buys me anything. But this was wonderful. No more aftertaste from reusing plastic bottles plus the drink stays cold after many hours. Whenever we take a trip I am always sure to bring this along. Even after staying in a warm car for over 3 hours the drink, is still cool. Great product!

This Nissan insulated sports bottle is all that it is billed up to be for keeping your beverage cold for an afternoon or more. The thermos is almost unbreakable, a five year warranty, and has a ridged black rubber plastic for a sure grip. The smooth interior needs to be hand washed with sponge or cloth with mild detergent.

If taken the bottle on bike hikes, canoe trips and camping, and it always serves up a nice cold refreshing drink. The top remains securely attached until ready for use. The only thing I would like to change about the bottle, is to make it larger, say about a liter (25 ounces) or a quart (32 ounces) rather than the 18 ounce.

This bottle goes on every outdoor outing, either by bike, canoe or foot, it is easy to carry/pack and does what it is suppose to do, keep the water cold without spilling or breaking.

I purchased this item for my six year old to use in the car. It is easy to hold, easy to open and fits in the cup holder of her car seat. I filled it with chocolate milk along with two ice cubes for good measure, and we left for the day. She drank about half of it. This was Wednesday. I forgot it in the car until I wanted to use it again; it is now Saturday. I was afraid to open it, and wondered if I would ever get it clean. The milk was still ice cold, it poured out like it had just been filled. It was nothing short of a minor miracle. That bottle was in a black car, in the sun for three days and the contents was cold. I was so happy with this purchase that I bought the bottle for carbonated beverages and the coffee/tea/travel bottle.
These are the BEST, my collection of travel mugs, and I have so many are all going in the garbage. These products will pay for themselves...no more waste.

I love this mug! I often knock the mug off on the desk, and ruined paper work - but this chubby one is a spill-proof. I just looove it!

I had this mug in Aug 2000 and lost it in Aug 2003. I was very upset when it had gone missing. I bought several replacement mugs that were stainless steel but none of them ("cut the mustard") were that good. I even started drinking less coffee as a result of losing this mug. I have now placed an order for two of them and I might even get a third one. This is the best mug i have ever had and I am very happy to see it on sale again!! Way to go Amazon!!!!

Starbucks came out with this little number a few years ago, and it has been my favorite mug (for travel or home use) ever since. First of all, it is unspillable; it's wide base and non-slip foam bottom assure that you won't be wearing your morning coffee after that tight turn or fast stop. Also, it holds a LOT of coffee! If there's one thing that bugs me, it's a travel mug that only holds a few guzzles of beverage and then has to be toted around with you, empty. All-in-all, a fantatic, quality mug that is a steal at $20. Great gift!

My favorite use for this is to create egg sandwiches.

Spray the insides with non-stick spray. Crack open 2 eggs and whip, add seasonings, garlic, pepper, etc. Microwave for 2 minutes with the vent cap open.

The result is a perfectly round and thick egg patty for use on English Muffin or hamburger bun. Add a little bit of cheese, and you have a nice and quick sandwich for breakfast.

i love tupperware in general, but i particularly love the ones with the vented seals. they prevent splatters and i think everyone who works in a place that has a microwave oven should be required to have one---if youve ever noticed how some people dont wipe up their splatters! and this particular piece, i love because it is the perfect size for leftovers or soup. i'd like to see some better colors. and i would even like to see it in the clear hard plastic, like the square ones. i recommend this product very highly.

I tend to take leftovers to work for lunch, and these mugs are perfect for that. The size is not too small, not too large. The handle is sturdy and lets me carry my nice hot food all the way from the microwave to my desk with no hot fingers. The lid and steam vent seal tightly, and having that steam vent feature is great -- I don't have to try to press a hot lid back over steaming hot food. These containers are well designed, and I use them so often I think I need to order a couple more!

I have a busy schedule, so I have found myself running out of the house with my coffee in an insulated mug - keeping it in hand as I make my way to the subway, since it doesn't have a sealed lid. After about a month of this charade, I decided to buy a thermos - a coworker had given a stellar recommendation to purchase a Thermos Nissan. I don't regret it one bit. I bought the 750ml model, and it fits upright in my messenger bag - but I have also had it completely horizontal in the bag without any worries about leakage. And the coffee is piping hot! Just make sure to prep the thermos with boiling water before you put the coffee in, and you're good to go all day. This is the best thermos on the market - bar none - except maybe for their Titanium model - but that's like [$$]! Unless you're some sort of uber yuppie, stick with the stainless model and use the extra [$$]towards detailing your Volvo!

When I bought this bottle I had pretty high expectations because of previously owning a similar one, and having been issued a much larger one of the same type from the Army. The Nissan Travel Companion met my expectations completely. It will keep coffee hot for 48 hours if you need it to and are leaving it full for that time. The time degrades from that to about 8 hours if you are drinking the contents. If you fill the bottle with hot water, let it sit for a few minutes, to heat up the inside of the bottle, and then fill it with your coffee, it will stay hot for as long as you leave it full and unopened. Sounds silly, but try it.

Most days, I actually want to drink some of my coffee before the day has passed and the thermos works well for that too. I make a pot (7 cups will fit) in the morning, rinse the bottle out with very hot water, and I drink my coffee throughout the day. It is very hot for most of the day, into the evening. If a cup or two remain at the end of the day, they will not stay hot into the next morning. It only works for more then a day, if you leave it completely full, and don't open it until you want to drink it.

The bottle is well made. I've had it for almost 6 months now and use it every day. I even use it on weekends so I can turn my coffee pot off. It keeps the coffee fresher and just as hot as leaving it on the heating burner.

I only recommend this thermos (or any stainless steel bottle) for black coffee, tea, or hot water. Add your cream and sugar or whatever afterwords. Vacuum bottles are not dishwasher safe and it is dangerous to put food stuffs in it because you won't be able to get it completely clean. Coffee and tea can be rinsed out without a problem.

Summary. Keeps fluids hot for up to 8 hours of normal use. Up to 48 hours of full quantity storage. Very durable and drip proof. Not dishwasher safe, and should not be used with soup, cream, milk, or sugar.

Conclusion. Is day old coffee still "day old" if it is still piping hot?

I bought the Nissan travel companion based on the reviews on Amazon and have no regrets whatsoever. I have been delighted with it. My friends were amazed when I told them that the steaming-hot coffee I was pouring in the late afternoon had gone in at 6 a.m. The stainless steel construction seems sturdy and gives the bottle a classy look. Plus, how often are you going to purchase a bottle that says has pouring instructions in Japanese on the stopper?

My only beef with these mugs is that they're so big. I own the smaller Fiestaware mugs too, and I complained about those being too small, but seriously - I wish there were a middle ground. Though I'd take 'too big' over too small any day. You can have a big cuppa tea or coffee or soup with these things. An excellent multitasker, I've even used mine to store cups of broth in the freezer. These definitely need some sort of tight-fitting lid developed for them for better storage in the fridge or freezer.

brilliant nicely shaped monster mugs. look great, but we still keep reaching for the old regular-style non-fiestaware mugs cause the jumbo ones are often just too much (and we live in texas, where oversized is always better). definitely agree with previous reviewer who wishes there were an in-between size from fiestaware. those little mugs with the pretty but useless ring handles don't work, and the wonderful jumbo mug is overkill for normal use. i'd vote for keeping the design, just scaling it down a bit.

I have these and love them. I'm glad I didn't waste my time with some look-alikes I saw. These are the same quality as the rest of my Fiestaware and match perfectly. I use these for hot cocoa loaded down with marshallows, chili, soup, cereal. It's a bowl, it's a cup. The cup is heavy enough that it can sustain some abuse from daily use and keep you from getting burned by the hot stuff inside. I really love these cups!

I a bought this for work to carry coffee. At the end of the day coworkers complain it's too hot to drink. [the donut shop] has ruined my tongue so it's perfect for me.

Just remember it's bigger than it may appear. I holds 1.69 quarts, or 9, 6oz mugs, or 3.5, 15oz mugs just a tad above a personal thermos.

Just got mine and I have been using it for a couple of weeks. I wanted to give it a good test before writing this review.

I have used mine to carry hot tea to work at 8AM, by 5PM the tea is still hot, this far exceeded what I was demanding for in this type of bottle. I have also used it to carry cold beverages like fruit juices and it does keep them cold for several hours.

One observation: the instructions point out that the bottle might be "damaged" if you clean it in a dishwasher, I thought: "how can this be when it is designed to hold liquids at over 100 degrees F?" so I gave it a try and no problems! The only thing that I hand-wash is the rubber gasket from the main lid and a small plastic cover that fits on top.

I highly recommend it.

I, being one person, am often unable to consume an entire pot of coffee. This thermos, however, allows me to brew a full pot of coffee *AND KEEP IT ON MY DESK FOR TWO DAYS* -- it remains steaming hot. Furthermore, I have found that after the coffee is no longer hot, it goes well with kahlua, ice, and cream. -grin-

The thermos itself is larger than the picture really lets on. It's big-ish, about a third the size of the briefcase I carry to work. It does come with a shoulder strap however, and i can comfortably carry it under my arm with the briefcase on the same shoulder.

I haven't tried using it for soup or the other things the manufacturer suggests. It is simply fabulous for coffee however.
