Is the opening where the coffee comes out a decent size? I don't like mugs with a very small hole and each sip is only a tiny amount.

Yea its a good size, maybe double the opening of a starbucks lid. I find it decent.

The opening is not huge; more of a thin, curved slot on two sides. My wife and I find it dispenses about the right amount with each sip, especially when driving, but if you prefer a more unobstructed pour, this mug might not be you cup of of tea!

Two holes on opposite sides of the lid - one for liquid to come out and one for air to enter, so you get a continuous flow. Each hole is about 1.5 inches wide by 1/8 inch high. It can pour faster than I can drink!

there are two openings that are about 1.3 inch in length and thin along the rim . you can drink from both openings and it definitely yields more coffee flow than other tumblers but it doesn't feel like drinking straight from the mug. but this tumbler gives more coffee flow than other peep hole type :)

I totally disagree with other that have answered. The pour is slow. So slow, in fact, that pouring out of the lid into a mug results in a guaranteed mess. The pour is too slow, which causes liquid to trickle down the sides of the thermos.. every.. single.. time

I only got the two cup version of this and the lid doesn't fit perfectly but is still usable as intended because with a bit of pressure the lid is very secure and performs fine. Not a perfect fit but I would rather have it a bit too big as it is instead of too small! It is more secure this way. So hope this may help

The only opening is the spout you pour out of. It does have a "seam" around the handle that looks like it opens. I thought the same thing before I ordered it. It's a little inconvenient to fill it through the spout since you can't see how full it is, but you figure it out quickly by weight. For me the looks of the Bulbo FAR outweigh the small issue of filling through the spout.

Wouldn't you know it--my HUSBAND can answer your question! The black "bottom" where the white cup in the picture is sitting actually slides out--so you have all that space (enough to accommodate a travel mug or cup or "regular-size" coffee mug.

Almost certainly not. It doesn't fit under my current coffee maker and I used to have a Keurig. That said, the mug is good enough that I don't mind brewing coffee into a measuring cup or something and pouring it into my mug. :)

2 cups of water puts it pretty close to the top....that's a good sized mug of coffee!

There is an inner ring you will notice as you open the lid. Don't fill above that line and you won't have any problems. It's not how much coffee you use actually the less is best.

there is a funnel that will help if you have a mug larger than about 4", but an average mug size of 3-3.5 inches is best. Also, mugs that are not flat on the top, or funny shapes (I have a darth maul mug that is too narrow an opening, and I have a dog mug that has cut outs on the top for the ears, it doesn't work in those type mugs very well.

I have the smaller one, but I'm able to brew smaller cups of coffee in it by adjusting the amounts of grounds and water.

No. So if you turn it upside down, it may leak a bit. It's a really great coffee mug and I don't have an issue with the space between the grounds after pressing. It's used almost daily and I would buy this again.

it does fit, only it's a tiny bit smaller and needs a nudge....also, it's hard to get "enough" coffee into it to make it string enough

It was just a little too short to reach the spring loaded bottom of the holder of the ground coffee even with the taller lid option that the Medelco includes. I went to the Hamilton Beach website and ordered another Melitta glass carafe for a backup. Hope this helps.

There is some wiggle room. If it were pressed with no space, it would force the grounds back into the coffee. At least that's what I've figured. Mine has wiggle room and the coffee is great.

I put half a cup in it and that is almost to the top. The manufacturer says you really you shouldn't put that much in because it makes it really easy to get out even if you set the openings smaller (at least for the first few minutes until they empty it out some from using it). Its not really a concern for me but it good to know, especially if you are going for a challenge for them!

I fill it so it's just covering the second row of holes (2 holes). As long as you lower the heat as soon as it starts to perk it does not spill. There will be plenty of coffee when guests visit.

Yes it is. I just measured it to be sure and the opening measures about 2" in diameter. I disagree with the previous answer because it keeps coffee very hot for more than 5 hours as long as you screw the top on very tight. As for keeping things cold, I never tried it so I can't address that. Good luck.

It depends on how big your cup is. I found it altogether too small for a regular cup of coffee. I was disappointed with how small it was.
