Customer Rating:      Summary: Love my coffee Comment: The only thing I love as much as my morning coffee is, my coffee mug. I love that my coffee stays warm from the time I first pour it, until the well after carpool.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Still going strong, eight years after I bought mine Comment: I bought my Nissan mug at the end of 1996, when I started biking to work every day. It's suffered a couple of dents as a result of popping out of the old bike's water bottle cage a few times. An ex-girlfriend borrowed the mug and absentmindedly ripped the rubber sleeve off, so for years I just had a bare steel mug (which stays in the water bottle cages better). A year ago I was riding in a bus shuttle to a client's office and found a new rubber sleeve, so now my mug is complete again.
I've had the same issues as everyone else: the flip lid can leak even when closed (especially on bumpy pavement), it collects coffee in the little thing on the lid so you end up with a dot of coffee on your nose, and it doesn't fit in most car cupholders.
All of this gets mitigated, though, when you consider that as long as you don't melt the lid, one of these things should last you a *very* long time. So much better for you and the planet than disposable coffee cups.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good, but... Comment: Overall, this is a passable insulated coffee-mug. True that the lid latch isn't spill proof (more like "slosh-proof"), and it sometimes leaves a drop on your nose if you're not paying attention. My biggest complaint about this travel mug is that there's a rubber seal inside that's impossible to clean: Unscrew the lid, and look down inside the mug. Just underneath the black plastic rim there's a thick translucent-white rubber seal. After using this mug for several weeks, I discovered that some of my coffee (with cream & sugar please) gets trapped up underneath this seal and the funky cheese starts to grow. Nissan replaced my mug under warranty, and sure 'nuff, the new one did this too. It's pretty gross. Now I use a cheap plastic travel mug without any seals inside -- it's a whole lot easier to clean!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great for coffee, not great for tea Comment: I asked for and received this mug for Christmas. The next day I used it to drink coffee and it worked great. When I returned to work I used it to have some green tea. (I generally drink green tea through the week and coffee on the weekends.) I noticed that even though I had only used it once for coffee and cleaned it out well, there was a strong coffee order coming from the rubber ring that sits between the steel and the plastic on the inside. It took about three days of using and cleaning it to get rid of the smell. No big deal, I thought, I'll just use it for tea.
After about a week I noticed that the inside was turning brown from the tea. The only way I could get it clean was to use a scotch bright pad and it is sort of hard to get your hand in there to scrub it. Finally I just decided to buy a cheaper stainless steel mug with a plastic lining at my local discount store (you know which one I'm talking about). So now I use the cheaper one for tea and the Nissan for coffee.
In summary, if you are a tea drinker then I'd advise using a different mug with a plastic lining. On the other hand, coffee drinkers will love it; it has great ergonomics, keeps your drink hot, and looks good.
