I've read bad reviews about some double walled glass coffee mugs. Has anyone tried it for drinking coffee on the go?

I have used mine for coffee and it the lid works great. The only problem is the glass jar gets hot to the touch so this makes it hard to hold onto.

That's a great idea, especially when only one mug of coffee is desired. It's better than no coffee at all. I'm thinking of camping or traveling and there isn't a coffee maker.

Lid snaps on tight. There are 2 openings on lid - one in middle of lid is a hole for straws and the other near side of lid is for drinking out of. If it tips over, yes it will spill some. I don't believe it's designed to be a travel mug.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

I use mine to keep my tea hot, and it was still hot many hours later. No idea on this one. I did make a discovery this morning that this cup can't be shaken, or else the liquid comes out of it. How is it for you? I have tried dumping a little liquid out to no avail. I tried it dry with no avail. I am drying it out right now, and I am going to try it again. With both of our problems, maybe this ISN'T a good mug. I might have given my review too early. Don't know.

This coffee maker was a gift to a church, other than that I have nothing to do with it. Is it double walled, I would think not. I also think you could get a more positive from Amazon.

Nope, but it is way better than my double walled glass cup and keeps the coffee piping hot for about 30 minutes.

I don't even use the travel mug because I like the way a ceramic mug feels. I use a pretty big mug that's wide and it does just fine....you can always use a large cup and pour the contents into your own travel mug.

My wife does use for her commute. She said there is slight obstruction. The fact that it keeps coffee hot for more than 8 hours is why she uses it.

I have a large coffee mug. Get a quality cup of coffee from one Folgers coffee single. I recommend it.

I've seen the below used with expresso machines; sure they're more expensive, but they're also 'really nice'. You for sure get what you pay for with these cups. The below link was taken directly from Amazon's site:Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated 10-Ounce Glass Mug, Set of 2

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

One handed without spilling - easily done. Burning your lips? Depends on the temperature the coffee was when you put it in the mug. If it was hot enough to burn when you added it, then you'll probably burn when you drink it (AMAZING temperature retention, but if your drink is super hot, let it cool before adding or leaving the lid open are your best bets). Obstructing your vision? Depends on if you are focusing on the lid or not. I can see the road just fine and if I'm focused on traffic, I might turn the mug ever so slightly to the side while drinking. It doesn't bother me at all.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

I has opinion! Often I will make a single cup without using the server - just direct to mug - which is great. Where this shines is being able to make coffee for both my wife and I on weekend mornings. If you're ever going to make two cups of coffee, this is so totally worth it.

I just tested one in the microwave, having filled the mug near to the top. I used the "beverage" button and found the liquid hot and the handle cool. Previously, I'd just poured freshly brewed coffee into the mug with good result - handle stayed cool, no damage to the glass.
