Can you actually open it and drink hot coffee out of the mug with one hand IN THE CAR without spilling, burning your lips, or obstructing your vision?

One handed without spilling - easily done. Burning your lips? Depends on the temperature the coffee was when you put it in the mug. If it was hot enough to burn when you added it, then you'll probably burn when you drink it (AMAZING temperature retention, but if your drink is super hot, let it cool before adding or leaving the lid open are your best bets). Obstructing your vision? Depends on if you are focusing on the lid or not. I can see the road just fine and if I'm focused on traffic, I might turn the mug ever so slightly to the side while drinking. It doesn't bother me at all.

Yes, you can drink directly from this thermos. p.s. It is the BEST thermos... Really keeps the coffee hot.

No, you can perfectly stay holding the glass with really hot water in it, and you will feel just a warm glass.

I tried heating up some coffee in the microwave the other day, and I burned my finger pretty badly not realizing how hot the handle got. I'd suggest using another mug for heating up coffee, unless you want to lose some skin on your finger.

I normally drink tea in a cup or mug but I agree that they are quite sturdy and withstand the hot dishwasher, so I wouldn't be afraid to try it. Your hand will get hot unless you have a cozy over the glass.

Yes! I have had it turn upside down in my bag and fall on the car floor and it does not leak. I don't have fear leaving a coffee mug on my desk any longer.

NO! Unless you like the putrid taste of plastic overriding your beverage. Heat your water in a different, truly microwaveable container and then transfer to this one, if you must. The mug didn't melt or warp in the microwave, but that strong chemical flavor it imbued into my water was a real turnoff and I'm not too sure how safe it was, either. I now use this for only for cold beverages when working out, etc.

Yes, you can brew one cup into your own mug. We elevate the mug using a ramekin to prevent splashing.

Yes. there is a plastic ring around the inside to drink from. You don't burn your lips.

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

I don't think I would travel with the press unless the interior of your car is moca colored... perhaps just buy a larger travel coffee mug to use with along with the press?

I normally drink from the mug. However you need to be careful for hot liquid as It will be Very hot. Its opening in no bigger than a regular glass. It could be a little sharp but for me is perfect. I have never had an issue to drink out of it

I've never tried but I would advise against it. It *might* not spark but it would be impossible to hold. Even just pouring coffee in it makes the handle far too hot.

I honestly have not looked. I have lightly banged the mug in my car and in my bag but the glass seems to be holding strong. I have not dropped it or hit it on metal yet. A sleeve on the bottom and sides would be a better solution but it would still most likely break when dropped.

i think so - as i put extremely hot coffee into my mug daily - and i have no trouble picking it up by the handle almost immediately - and the heat does not transfer to the handle over time - so no problem. one caveat - as you appear to be female, i would warn you that this is a pretty heavy mug - which at first bothered me, but i've learned how to pick it up so the weight no longer is an issue. however, i'm male, 6 feet and 182 pounds.

No, no. the cup is not heat friendly to the hand. Not as well insulated as the storge cups

Yes. I don't think it's quite as hot as a traditional coffee maker with a warming plate, but it's close to it. I haven't had a problem finishing my cup while it's still warm unless I'm running around the house while drinking it. I had it in a Contigo travel mug the other day and it stayed quite hot for a long time (enough to burn my tongue a few times :)).
