Ordered yesterday at 12, arrived today at 9.45. Super fast delivery. I haven't had a chance to use it yet as it's just arrived, but first impressions are that it can hold a lot of coffee and the lid stays on very securely. Thanks Firebox for another great buy!!!

Not only does it keep your coffee hotter for longer but it's also good for keeping cold drinks cooler for longer.

Great product, bought five in total as the 1st one didn't bounce and three for presents! Can you get the spare lids in stock please? The company that makes them does a black lid too. Thanks.

Nice product. Kept my coffee at a nice temprture. My only problem with it is that it hold ever so slightly less than the paper cups at work, and the coffee machine is programed to fill them almost to the top. With this it fills it right to the brim, so it overflows ever so slightly. This means brown streaks on the cup and a wet hand on me. Its a shame because other than that it's almost perfect.

Fantastic product - got a few remarks from work colleagues! There is only two problems with this cup! 1. I burnt my mouth as it kept the drink hot for longer then I expected. 2. There is no air hole in the lid so I carefully poked a hole in it myself. Careful if you plan to copy, it did start to crack rather then have a hole but I rectified that!

I've just bought this item a few days ago, and it is surprisingly good! When I first opened it, I was worried about the naff chemical smell from the plastic top, but this washes off easily in hot water, and is not an issue. The lid fits securely, and at no time does it feel like it is going to come off when you drink from it - it's actually better than the ones on the TRUE paper cups, as the top isn't brittle, and not liable to crack. The cup has a good grip/feel to it, plus it insulates the drink very well - keeping it much hotter than a real paper cup would - plus no pesky '3rd degree burn' heat transfer to your hand! The outside does get a bit grubby if you have newspaper ink on your fingers, or you've been a bit careless with the coffee making process (or you've had too much coffee and your hands are shaking) - but it cleans off well when you wash it, so no problem there. I would definitely recommend this item, and I'd also REALLY recommend the AeroPress coffee maker (http://www. Firebox. Com/product/1320/AeroPress-Coffee-Maker) to go with it - quality coffee in seconds, literally! Well, no point in having this mug if your coffee is the crap instant kind, is there? If you buy some decent coffee (my favourite is the Star**cks Columbian blend, from Sains***ys - about £4, enough for 20 mugs approx), the coffee result is the same as, or even slightly superior, to what you can get on the high street - plus literally after you've had about 10 to 20 mugs (just under £50 for both items), you're pretty much broken even, price wise! (for me, that took about 2 days, and I have the caffeine shakes to prove it!) Thereafter, you're saving money! Take these to work and let your friends wonder how you're getting this quality coffee all the time! And then the inevitable begging and envy sets in.... "it's SUCH a bore.... Lol!" I'm thinking of getting another for home, as well as work, because I just can't stomach the dish water that ANY instant coffee is, in comparison - so I guess that means another AeroPress, too? But I might have to switch to decaf.... . I'm getting a little jumpy and the huge purple spots in front of my eyes are obscuring my view of the giant pink elephants I can suddenly now see in my bedroom - strange, when did I buy them???

This cup had been great up until the point I knocked it over by accident - it only tipped over onto a work surface but broke the whole way around the top - the double layer doesn't stand up to well to the odd accident, and as it's quite tall and thin its prone to this, well, if you are clumsy like me I guess!

Very good idea indeed but I found I burn't my hands regularly until, one day (my birthday actually) a friend of mine from work who had seen me burn my hand a few times gave me a cup much the same as this just an 'Eco cup' which is mostly the same price if not cheaper but comes with a silicone handle around the middle (like the cardboard one on paper cups) Definately a stocking filler! This one is good though, just the 'Eco cup' has a lid which fits and a handle!Oh, and it has a hole in the lid! Thankyou anyway firebox, good idea!Don't loose faith because I have has many good prezzies!

After a year of use, the lid has torn - possibly after turning it inside out several times to wash it properly.
