Princeton Wares Tea Cup Glass Double Wall Insulated Clear Glass Tea and Cup Mug 12 Ounces with Bamboo Teaspoon

Full disclosure. I paid full price for my cups and got nothing from anybody associated with this company. I want to say this because all the other reviews have gotten something...I didn't.THE GOOD: Cups are beautiful and do exactly as you would image they do. Warm to touch after about a minute but never get hot. Look cool as hell when drinking out of them. Big enough to steep two tea bags and make a big cup of strong tea.THE BAD: There are big and I mean really big ( like those coffee cups that the TV show " Friends" had at their coffee shop). Measuring 5 3/4" x 3 1/8" from the outside, with sides that slope out some ( look closely at picture). There are a little awkward to drink out of as you really can't sip out of a big outwardly sloping cup easily. It does work but it's not super comfortable and no matter how careful I am there is always a little drop of tea left on the outside of cup. They feel delicate and I worry I will break if place on table to hard while drinking. You could not drop these down hard while drinking out of them.Conclusion: Yes I would buy again because I like the look.......so in this case form over function.

These are attractive and functional insulated mugs, with minor imperfections that highlight each as a unique handmade work. I would give them a 5 star rating except for the frequency of small defects on the bottoms that allow for fluids to get in. This is a known issue that the manufacturers try to work around by filling the defect with semi-opaque sealant which in my and other reviewers' experience tends to eventually fall out, letting fluid in, while retaining fluid accumulations creating condensation within the internal insulated area and eventually concentrating grime that is clearly visible and yet impossible to clean. If one gets a mug without a filled defect then consider it a 5 star mug, keeping in mind they are delicate. Note that at no time did I use a dishwasher to clean them, and I would guess that using one might hasten the sealant falling out. As far as I am concerned I will keep returning the mugs as the sealant falls out until I get a set without a defect, so far I am 1 for 2.

Love Love Love.Not plastic just clear, thin, vacuum layer of air to prevent burnt hands while keeping beverages hot. Also keeps them cold due to the insulating layer. Very nice. Bamboo spoon a nice touch too. I vacillated about which mug to get but am glad I decided and got this one. I have knocked it a bit when washing and it stood up without a scratch but I would recommend being kind to it nonetheless. Satisfied completely.UPDATE 02/04/2018 - Still Love, Love, Love this mug. Durable (clanked it with other dishes and the microwave door without a chip!), NOT made of plastic btw, hands stay comfortable even with the hottest liquids. Shows the tea colour nicely which allows for precise steeping when using loose tea especially. Can recommend it enough - go out and get yourself one. Or two. Or three . . . :)

I bought a double-walled glass travel mug from another company and I've had good luck with it. This Princeton Wares mug allows me to have the same experience at home but without as much insulation, meaning I can drink my tea sooner, all the while enjoying hotter tea for longer than a traditional mug. I used a thermometer to confirm that it stays hot longer than a traditional ceramic or single-walled glass mug. The limited heat transfer means that I can wrap my hands around it even when it's holding boiling water - it imparts just the right amount of warmth you'd want for a cold day without burning your hands. I really like that it's microwaveable and the wooden spoon adds a nice touch. And that's just the practical aspects! The design is beautiful and I get constant compliments on this mug. The glass seems a little thin, so I would recommend careful hand-washing, but I haven't had any problems so far.

The top rims of the cups are a bit wobbly and not completely consistent. I am sure this has to do with the process of blowing the glass. The edge varies only slightly though and I did not let that keep me from buying my own set after drinking from them at a friends. That is the only reason I give them less than 5 stars. They are amazing. I prefer using them for green teas as they show off the different color of various teas nicely. High quality and a two day flawless delivery. Thank you!

So beautiful and so cute! My favorite glasses to drink tea out of. My only complaint is if you’re not careful, it’s really easy to break them. I have a crack and the handle of one of them I have to be very careful about now.

Love these two cups and bamboo teaspoons.The glass looks fragile but I use them constantly and they are strong and look amazing.My only complaints are that they don't hold the heat as long as a ceramic mug. And I would like a saucer with them.My K coffee maker has 6,8,10 ounces. These cups will hold the 10 ounces.Everyone should have these only for the way they look. When you are working and look over and see them it is a visual that makes you smile.Also fun to serve guests.

I bought this as a gift for my co-worker and she loved it. She said it's her favorite tea and coffee cup now. Although it has a small handle, the double wall protects her hands from getting burned when she holds it from the bottom. The quality is also very nice, especially at this price point, and the little bamboo spoon is a great bonus. She thought I spent more money than I actually did. It also arrived quickly and was packaged well in a brown box.
