Temp control. Liquids remain hot for 8hrs lid closed. 3-4hours with fat silicone straw in hole 1hour lid off. Top tip, Pre heat with a splash of hot water rinsed around mug before filling. Cons: handle is vulnerable to breaking if it not careful. Bit heavy but worth it. Pros: volume is huge at one pint, or three normal brews. Lid not fussy or difficult to clean. I can fit fat silicon straw into drinking hole. Lack of complete handle allows me to slip it onto smaller strut of my wheelchair. Good quality. I don’t drink enough. So I get both of these made up in the morning to last me the day(family check them when they come home!). Outstanding idea. They are heavy when full but the straws help with that. The handle slots onto my wheelchair arm strut so I have no excuse not to be hydrated if I go out. I am cautious about the handle as I’m worried I might break it, leaving it useless to me. But overall they are fantastic. Just wish they had other colours. Update: still using these wonderful mugs. My assistance dogs can carry them full or empty by the handle. I noticed someone saying the handles get loose. They do but are easy to tighten again. There is a slot at the bottom of the handle to open it up and allow access to the screw. Still need more colours though. 😉 Edit 2022: I use these several times every day and they are still going strong. Have a couple of dents where the dog drops them but colour still good. I’ve tightened the handles a couple of times where the dogs carry them. But they are still in great condition. They are awesome and I wouldn’t be without them now. Still need more colours though. 😜
