How wide is the opening? Will a hand fit inside? My husband's present cup has such a small opening that you'd need very long thin fingers to wash it

It's about 2.5 inches for opening- easy enough to wash although whole fist doesn't fit in- We LOVE this mug- actually have a few

Hand will most likely not fit. Opening is wide enough for cleaning without a problem

If Klean Kanteen recommends hand washing, that's good enough for me. Easily washed and dried by hand and if that will keep my cup great for the near future it's not that much of an inconvenience. I read their recommendation prior to purchasing mine and thought it not to be unreasonable. Mine has not seen the inside of my dishwasher and I don't intend to ever try it. Love the cup!!!

Hi Lauren, It is wide enough that my hand goes inside it for cleaning.YOur drip cone can easily fit into that. If you need exact details, i can provide you by tomorrow.

I have small hands, so I can fit inside to properly clean it. I would use a brush otherwise.

I would say no. Very small female hand or child hand maybe. I want to say that the opening is about 2-2.5 inches in diameter.

Beats me, Jeanne, depends on what you're dealing with. This carafe has a 3" wide opening at the top, which then tapers down to the actual glass liner opening, which is 1.5 inches wide. I'm *still* trying to figure out how to clean the thing other than basically rinsing it. Bottle brush won't do it. If your filter won't do it, try a funnel with a regular coffee pot filter, and don't pour too fast... If you didn't already buy this one, don't, if you can do with a smaller one. Amazon has a ton of them. I bought this because of the size, didn't realize the cleaning problem, plus I don't care for the closure on the top. It does, however, keep my coffee hot, even overnight.

The opening with the lid removed is about 2-1/2 inches across. The opening for drinking is a slit, not as big as a disposable water bottle.

A small hand could, but it is a tight opening. I usually just wash it in the dishwasher.

I have the 1 quartstop pitcher and the diameter measures about 2.5 inches. Your hand will not fit in the bottle. This is not an issue for me because we use it to hold raw goat milk and cleanliness is super important so I use a bottle brush and then I can be sure it is good and clean. Blessings <><

I echo that these mugs are heavy, but I have not had problems with "hand" washing them. The "mouth" at the "top" is wide and the taper of the "body" is gradual, making clean up easy.

We use a dixie 12 oz cup and the measurement of the opening is 3.5" square so if you can measure the cup you mentioned that should help.

Mine is a 34 ounce but I would expect the inside to be the same and it appears to be brushed. Mine is, in fact, a little stained already. I can't get my hand inside so I use a wooden or plastic stirring spoon handle to swish a wash cloth or sponge around inside. I use a drying towel the same way. I don't find it difficult to clean the lid inside and out.

Hi Julie, I measured the cup this morning for you. It's just a little under 3.5 inches across. I hope this helps.

I have the tall carafe which has about a 2.5 inch opening. Can't get hand in but haven't had any problems cleaning it.

the heating area fits a typical 8oz to 10oz mug, not giant mugs. What I would consider a standard coffee cup

Only if your hands are the size of an infant. There are bottle brushes you could use and a washcloth would fit in, but you're not going to get your hand in there.

Not unless you have very small hands! But the opening is large enough to use a long handled brush to clean it. I use a brush that has a "mop" on the tip of it or a spongy tipped brush.
