Ello Ogden Ceramic Travel Mug with Splash-Resistant Slider Lid and Protective Silicone Boot, Perfect for Coffee or Tea, BPA Free, Dishwasher Safe, Gray, 16 oz, 758-0438-040

I was looking for a ceramic travel mug without a handle that I could use with the shoulder-strap-style drink (tumbler style) carrier/holder that we also purchased on Amazon. There were not many options for the style of carrier that fits this type of travel mug (most were for the huge ones) and there were not many options for ceramic travel mugs without handles, so the fact that the two items pair perfectly is delightful! Now I can tote coffee around with me (in a real ceramic "mug", not metal or plastic) when working in the garden. The lid is good quality and easy to use and clean, not the lightest weight, not the heaviest weight, but midrange. I'm very happy with the mug, the lid and the sleeve. The cup/mug is well made, no chemical smells, no flaws of any kind, came with a tag (seems like a real ello product) and is good quality, looks exactly as shown in photo. If I had found it locally and felt and seen the quality I would have definitely still purchased. (Not that this cup is around here) The return policy made me feel confident, in case it was cheap or arrived broken. But it's good and arrived perfectly. The quality is better than expected, as hoped for. It compares to what one might expect to find in a place where they have good quality kitchen wares. The only thing I would change about this ceramic travel mug is (nothing except) that it would be for it to be available in more color options. :-) If they made it in true green, I would buy another. I got the purple one shown and it is as shown and looks nice. The combo of the ceramic with the grippy no-slip sleeve is pleasing. The grippy sleeve fits nicely and goes under the outside bottom edge of the cup so if you have it on a slippery surface it's okay. It's got grip. You can set it on top of your vehicle while putting groceries in and it stays fine. Plus, it won't scratch or scuff the surface it is set on. Since it is ceramic, I pop a basket style tea strainer in and make a one drink coffee in this without a coffee maker. Remove that, empty the grounds into the compost and delish coffee to go. The pastel colors make these especially good Spring and Easter gifts, just don't forget to fill with candy! haha It's looks nice and functions well. Very happy with this travel mug. Recommend.

I have to say right off the bat that I bought this mug specifically because ceramic doesn't keep the coffee boiling hot. I don't want to drink boiling hot coffee and I hate that the fancy stainless steel travel mugs keep the temp high forever. These allow the coffee to cool at a normal rate, like a normal cup, so you can drink it without burning your mouth. So, not for everyone but surely I'm not the only one who wants their coffee to get cold. It fits 2 cups of coffee. I think you can put it in the dishwasher but I never have. I don't know why you would need to. Just rinse it out. The design is pretty (love geometric stuff) and the sides are nice and grippy. The lid works fine. Not the best ever but also stays on and does its job. Overall, I love this mug.

The ceramic cup is great, but the top is not very secure. The gasket under the top is so loose it's easy to spill, especially when taking a drink.

I like this so much I got a second one. great appearance. no handle .long tall shape. it fits my hand nicely. easy to use. microwave works with it.

This mug is one of the worst experiences of my life, and I have seen illness, death, natural disaster, and poverty. When the mug arrived, I washed it. This did not change the fact that it smelled like the Chinese factory that mass produced it is also churning out benzine and insecticides. I filled it with filtered water, and put it in my purse. The lid was firmly secure, and the mug was never tipped more than five degrees from a right angle. This mug LEAKED from the seams, the sliding mechanism at the top, and especially from where slide tab intersects-it was like a garden hose was let loose on my body, my bag, and my car. I had no time to literally mop up the damage, so I had to sit through a meeting looking like I urinated all over myself for over an hour. When I got home, I spread out all my things from my purse, like my day planner and my notebook, like accordions so mildew wouldn't fester. But still, all these things are warped and the ink has run. But wait, the SUCK MUG wasn't through ruining my month. The silicone housing is carefully designed so that water is trapped within its many labyrinthine protuberances and folds, so when I tipped it over to drink from it, it also attacked my laptop and the clothes I'd changed into. Nicely played, Hell-o. As others have pointed out, the Ello mug is heavy as a brick, and of course you don't want to put it in a cup holder or bag as it will turn into a property-destroying geyser of water or coffee. It doesn't insulate worth a d**m, and within thirty minutes all of the ice is melted, or conversely, the coffee is lukewarm. However, your coffee will give you second degree burns before this happens. I know this is subjective, but the suck mug is also hideous. It looks like 70's paneling. Others have noted that the mug will spontaneously break. I haven't experienced this yet, but I am sure that is the next unpleasant surprise-clay made of floor sweepings, cremains, and heavy metals sending explosive "pottery" shards into my chest and neck. Ello should send a mass shipment of these mugs to ISIS, after which they will all die of frustration, dehydration, and mold inhalation. I spent three hours looking for a mug that didn't taste like metal or plastic that I could put my hand into all the way to the bottom for through hand cleaning, which apparently rivals the cancer moon jump in its lofty challenge to mankind.

Really nice and sturdy, and I like that it's not a traditional lid. It seems to prevent accidental leaks that some of my older travel mugs get over time at the rim. It is not very good for insulation though. Definitely doesn't keep hot coffee hot. Initially, the whole ceramic surface gets hot when filled, which is fine because of the cute silicone sleeve. However, the contents quickly cool off. I'm not a super hot coffee drinker, so I am fine with it being warmish...but even sitting on my desk the coffee doesn't stay much warmer than if it was in a regular open mug.

Great

Excelente material, tanto externo como interno, acabamento perfeito, serve para água gelada como quente, prático e uma vedação ótima, até agora... Iridilson Ribeiro da Silva GG7

The heft, the size, are both great. The silicone feels nice, the lid is one of the nicest lids (just a little small on the mouth-opening for me, but it's minor). It looks great, and survives modern appliances which is a great feature.

This is a great mug. I hate the taste of stainless steel but wanted a travel mug and this ceramic mug is the best. It’s a great size, sturdy. The sleeve has a good grip and helps keep the coffee warm. I definitely recommend this mug!!

Yet to use but look the same as pic. Will leak, although I hope it won't. Overall quality seems good.
