User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars a little joy
I purchased a set of two of these for my hubby for christmas from another retailer. They are a little cheaper than amazon, but I will still leave a review here.
These are such a nice change from a standard coffee mug. They make my morning coffee seem a little more special, especially when I am able to fix both mine and his in our own different ways.
The cup is the perfect size. It’s not too big so it cools down to a drinkable for me temperature in a reasonable time. I also like the fact that unlike one of my ginormous mugs I’m not getting too much coffee at one time.
Yes there is the lack of a handle, but I generally drink coffee lukewarm so this does not become a problem. I’ve used these for hot chocolate and the like, and it just makes it feel like a special treat. I love the detail and still love the lip on the top and where the seam would be were it paper. These are among my top favorite coffee mugs.
5 Stars Hot coffee, hot hands…
Okay, the recurring complaint is true to this mug. The cup gets as hot as the contents inside and when the coffee is hot, the cup will scold. Here’s how you get past this problem. Don’t fill the cup to the brim. Save about a half-to-full inch of space and hold the cup there. It works very well for me and I walk-talk with my cup around the office most of the day.
This cup also features a great diameter for my hand so it doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip out of my hand anytime.
I do recommend you wash the cup immediately after opening. It’s got some odd rough stuff on the inside and out and you don’t want to drink that up. Probably factory residue. No biggie. It’s cheap, it’s good. Looks hip too.
4 Stars Really cool gift idea
This coffee cup is a faithful recreation of the famous New York City deli coffee cup, from the pattern and colors right down to the slightly off shape that sometimes comes with paper cups.
The detail is the neatest thing about this mug. It has a fold in the lip and a crease along the side where the pattern seems to finish its “wrap”. I’m not sure if it’s totally faithful to the actual height of the original paper cup, because it does seem much shorter than other paper cups.
It’s a good weight and is quite unusual, especially since it has no mug handle. And you can most certainly find it for a better price–Perpetual Kid has it for $10 and I’ve seen it for $12 at other places as well. Overall, it’s a fun gift idea and a cool idea in general.
5 Stars I MISS N.Y.C.!
Love this replica of a NYC icon! Fits great in your hand and even has the feeling of folds & a lip just like the real (paper) cups.
4 Stars too hot to handle
I love the look of these cups but they do get very hot after coffee is poured into them so they are difficult to pick up barehanded until the coffee cools. Fortunately I have a one-cup coffee maker that does not brew exceptionally hot coffee, and these cups fit under it perfectly.
