Ceramic Coffee to Go Mug with Silicone Lid, 480 ml (16.9 fl oz), Reactive Glaze and Handle Band

When coffee from a stainless steel mug tastes like stainless steel

The thermal mug keeps drinks warm, that's true. But after a few weeks, there's a metallic taste in the coffee, and acidic beans taste flat in it. Paper cups don't solve the problem; they just shift it to the trash. This mug is made of ceramic, with a silicone lid and a wraparound grip band.

What makes this mug special

• Capacity 480 ml (16.9 fl oz) – equivalent to a large coffee from a cafe, so nothing is left over when transferring.
• Ceramic instead of stainless steel – the glazed interior is taste-neutral and neither absorbs nor releases flavors; this is where metal mugs fail after prolonged use.
• Ribbed silicone sleeve – it protects your hand from the heat and simultaneously provides grip when the mug is held with gloves or damp fingers.
• Reactive glaze with unique design – the colors react uncontrollably with each other during firing, which is why each mug turns out differently and none exactly matches the product photo.
• Tapered shape towards the bottom – fits into common car cup holders, where straight mugs sit on top.

Perfect for commuting, for trains and cars, for the home office, and as a replacement for paper cups for your daily coffee. The mug, silicone lid, and silicone band are included. The manufacturer does not specify the leak-proofness of the lid – whether it merely sits on top or can be sealed should be clarified before ordering, as this determines whether the mug can be carried lying down in a bag.

Can it really go in the microwave and dishwasher?

According to the manufacturer, yes, for both. In the microwave, however, only without the lid and silicone band, to prevent warping and pressure buildup. In the dishwasher, place the lid and band separately, as silicone holds water in crevices. Ceramic is also susceptible to impact – a fall on asphalt will have a different outcome than with stainless steel.
