ElloJane 18oz Ceramic Travel Mug with Handle, Splash-Resistant Slider Lid and Built-in Coaster, Perfect for Coffee and Tea, BPA Free, Dishwasher Safe, Holiday Gift Her Him, Gray

My lovely Jane (now in her second incarnation)Let me tell you about my relationship with Jane. The original Jane came to me secondhand, and we had a beautiful romance until she suffered what I can only describe as a "Beauty and the Beast level" chip situation. I'm talking waterworks here. Time for Jane 2.0.Jane 2.0 is everything I remembered and more. She's a proper lady in my new car, sitting perfectly in the cup holder like she belongs there. Now, my 2001 vintage ride? Jane simply refuses to sit like a lady in those ancient cup holders, but honestly, I forgive her completely. A mug of her caliber has standards.Unlike those brutish stainless steel contraptions that make tea taste like you're drinking from a toolbox, Jane keeps my tea tasting like actual tea. Her dainty little cap is the perfect gentleman, protective but not overbearing, keeping splashes at bay without making a big fuss about it.Here's where Jane really shines: she's reasonable about temperature. Pre-fill her with boiling water before making tea, and she'll keep things hot but actually drinkable for my commute and beyond. No hour-long standoffs with molten liquid here, Jane believes in civilized tea drinking.The entertainment value? Priceless. My 1-year-old is absolutely enchanted by Jane's lid-removal capabilities (strictly supervised carpet-only performances, naturally). It's like having a built-in baby toy that also happens to serve excellent tea.And can we talk about her thoughtfulness? Jane comes with her own little "gloved base" a subdued colored silicone coaster that protects my boss's wooden furniture. She's basically the Emily Post of travel mugs, always thinking about proper etiquette.Fair warning: Jane has some heft to her. She's not one of those flighty, lightweight mugs that might accidentally float away. When you lift Jane, you know you're holding something substantial. Each sip has weight, literally and metaphorically.Bottom line: Jane 2.0 is the Goldilocks of travel mugs, not too hot, not too cold, not too fancy, not too plain. She's just right. If you're looking for a mug that combines functionality with a touch of class, Jane might just be your perfect match.

A well-made ceramic cup with a silicone base and a removable lid. The silicone base helps to protect furniture and the lid is a practical option for people on the go. Because it’s ceramic, it can be microwaved. However, it’s not insulated like a double-wall metal cup, so don’t expect it to hold heat/cold better than a typical ceramic coffee cup.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Awesome product. Perfect, sturdy, with a nice shape and weight to it, so it will not easily get knocked over. I use it at work where I am basically in one spot for hours on end. I use it for hot beverages and to my surprise, also cold beverages, because it’s just got a good feel to it. No more metallic taste and no more microplastics in your precious brew.

With all the hype around microplastics I decided to shelve my favorite plastic 20 oz insulated Thermos mug and find a plastic free alternative for my morning coffee.I had a list of requirements for my new mug. No plastic or metal (I love my Yeti for cold drinks but hate the metallic taste it gives hot beverages), at least 16 oz capacity, microwavable, and it must come with a lid (not only to avoid spillage, but to help keep my beverage hot).This morning was my first experience with the Ello Jane mug. Overall, I am pleased with the product. It is very well made and much heavier than I expected it to be. It is also very attractive, which is a bonus since I tend to leave sitting out all day. While the product description states it is 18 oz, I found it easily held a full 20 oz, I just took a couple sips before putting on the lid.The rubber bottom is nice, I just wish they also had thought to put a rubber ring about halfway up the mug (why 4 stars instead of 5). Even though the handle is large, I found myself wanting to hold on to the cup when drinking and the ceramic is hot! The addition of a rubber ring would let me hold onto the cup without burning my fingers.I like my coffee hot, so I preheated the mug with hot water while the coffee was brewing. I don’t know if the mug kept the coffee as warm as the Thermos mug did, and the last few sips were a bit tricky to drink because of the way the lid sits but given that I can enjoy my morning java without fear of ingesting microplastics, I found it a fair tradeoff.All this to say, if you are looking to upgrade from plastic to a well-made ceramic cup/mug you should give the Ello Jane ceramic mug a try.

Honestly I was disappointed by this cup. It’s super cute but it spills easily, the cup gets too hot and doesn’t keep your drink hot for long. It doesn’t fit in a car cup holder which makes it challenging to travel with. It would be best used as an office mug

Never did like drinking from metal or plastic and discovered I’m not alone! This mug is perfect. Pretty sturdy. The cap is plastic with a rubber gasket to help keep it from falling out but your lips hardly touch it. The handle is large enough for larger hands and higher up on the cup to allow it to sit in a cup holder. I do have a little problem leaving the rubber bottom piece behind as my cup holder is tight but no biggy for me. I just place it back in the rubber within the cup holder. It detaches to make it washable, I expect. Coffee stays hot enough to have enough time to drink it but is not a thermal cup. Fits under the Keurig with grate removed. Top will not stay in the cup if you tip it upside down. It’s not a sippy cup.
