How do you use it? Just got it and the lid must be taken off for drinking (not flip top). Once open inside inverted part that no opening for liquid??

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

Yes lid is taken off completely because this is a thermos not a travel mug. If you want a flip lid buy the flip lid style

The top of the mug can be flipped open for drinking but will also twist open in order to fill the mug with liquid (and for cleaning)

I have not used it for that purpose. It my reserve storage container for travel. I would assume that you wouldhave to remove the lid to drink fromit, though. I would caution you, though, if you are using hot drinks -- the container keeps everything hot as when poured for at least eighteen hours. That has been my experience, at least.

Hi there Karen,There is no sippee hole? You have to screw the top off to gain access to your drink. Have a look at the images (last 3) to give you an idea.Hope that helps.Cheers - Steltz

The lid screws on, then there is a button on top you push to open the hole to drink. You don't have to use that feature, you can just keep it open the whole time. I am actually using it now. You have to take the tray out on the mini Keurig to fit, but no big deal. I like it..I ordered 3. Wish it would keep it hot ,hot,hot the whole time....but it might be me.... I want my tea and coffee scalding hot. Does keep it hotter than a regular up, though.

I had a problem once or twice with leaking but soon discovered that the lid has to be seated properly before you twist it tight. I start with the opening in the lid opposite the handle on the cup - push it down until you hear a gentle click. Then twist it tight. If I do that, I have no problem.

Yes the lid opens up. The center top of the lid is a flat plastic piece that fits in to the rest of it. Rotate it slightly and it will pop off. The first time it may be tight. Mine came open after I dropped it on the floor =(:-O) but it was fine afterwards. Take careful note of where everything is - there is a spring that you need to be in place. Once the top is open, you can run water or a brush over it, because yes, it does get that old coffee vibe on it.

I wish I had asked this question before purchase - no the lid does not have an opening to take a sip. Just a plane lid you slip on and twust to seal. Having said that I still would purchase.Roger

I filled it and tried to spill the water by shaking and nothing came out. If you tip upside down, then a little does come out. Closes nice and tight. The topper has an open and close tab. The only thing I don't like is washing the lid, like all lids on these coffee cups, you take them apart to really clean them. I just use mine at home office so in ever use the lid. Works good for cold drinks too, keeps them cold and the glass dosen't sweet.

I press the "drink" button to release any pressure or vacuum inside the container. Then unscrew the lit counter clock wise. It goes on pretty tight so you have to use a little muscle, I know the first times I was worried about breaking it. Also important when putting the lid back on to make sure it is aligned so you do not cross thread it. Good luck.

The entire lid does come off. I wouldn't advise taking the entire lid apart. You have to push the button to drink from it. There is no locking open position.

There is no top when it's flipped over it acts as a lid to the unit. It is open to the air but I use one whole container so there isn't ussually water sitting in it.

It's attached to the lid of the mug which screws off for cleaning (and separates into 2 pieces plus a silicone ring/gasket). With one hand you can press the button and the lid springs up and back and stays there until you close it. It won't flip down while you drink. I saw some reviewers complain that some of the lid/latch mechanism interferes with drinking but I have not found this to be the case. I love this mug. If you want hot liquids to stay very hot for several hours, this is for you. It's beautifully designed. My only complaint is that it has a high center of gravity.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

the lid comes on the bottom of the cup, if yu turn the cup upside down, there is cover, and inside is the drinking lid.

You are correct. You must remove the whole lid to take a drink. I was a little weary of this at first, but it is easy to drink from.
