The mug is ok. The color is not quite as vibrant as it appears on the website. Also, I expected it to keep my coffee warm longer than it does. It seems that if you sip your hot drink slowly, it goes cold before you finish. Also, I didn't realize it was a hand wash only. This makes it a chore to hand wash separately. And, I know this is just the nature of the beast with metallic finishes, but this also makes reheating in the microwave a no go. Overall, I am somewhat disappointed.
