Other Mugs Will other mugs work in this unit? It looks kind of short and stout, so I would like to know if other travel mugs fit under the spout.

What ever mug you use you should fill the mug with water to about a 1/2 inch from the top and pour it into the coffee maker to prevent overflow.

Yes, as long as the cup is under 5 1/4 inches. I use a ceramic cup that's a bit wide for it and it works perfectly. The element you sit it on doesn't heat up so any cup you want to use will work.

Yes, Walmart carries a few different styles (plastic and stainless steel in 14 oz., I think) of mugs that look just like the one that comes with the machine. I believe Target carries them too. I've been looking when I go shopping, I'm thinking about buying an extra one just to have for vacations.

I don't even use the travel mug because I like the way a ceramic mug feels. I use a pretty big mug that's wide and it does just fine....you can always use a large cup and pour the contents into your own travel mug.

Get the Isosteel VA-9558 14 fl. oz. Double Walled Car Mug on Amazon! I just got this mug and I love it. It fits in the coffee maker and is very high quality. It is stainless inside and out. It keeps my coffee warmer longer. It doesn't add that plasticky taste to my coffee.

You can use pretty much any ceramic coffee mug with this unit. However, if you mean a travel type mug, it will have to be rather short. Bring the existing mug with you to the store to find what fits. Many travel mugs are too tall to fit, speaking from personal experience here.

The inside is plastic - the outside gets rather hot - the handle is rubbery and somewhat flexible -

If anyone happens along this post and knows of a travel mug that is under 5.25" (without its lid), please share. I'm having a terrible time finding any others that will fit.

The average travel cup fits nicely. My Subway travel mug is too tall but I can make it work at an angle.

Hi, So I'm actually in the process of moving so the cup is in a box..somewhere. However, the mug is very skinny. If you were to place it next to any coffee mug you own, they would be about the same height, but the width of this cup is like half the size. sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

This worry has crossed my mind too ;-) So far my mug has stayed on the counter. The first idea that comes to mind is cutting a square of gripper shelf liner to fit the mug's footprint: Kittrich Corp 05F-C6B50-06 Con-Tact Brand Grip Shelf LinerA mouse pad might work or a thick pot holder or even a damp dish cloth folded into quarters. My fear is I might break the mug!

I've never had that issue, but if you make a large helping of coffee, I suppose you could. I would use a tall, not so wide, mug in that case. Maybe one of those travel mugs.

Works great for my Keurig, other mugs too tall but this works fine! Not too wide at the bottom

Just depends on how much water you pour in above the mug. Could use a regular mug or the travel sizes...it's up to you. The amount of coffee added can be adjusted as well

Hi Kelli. The flat piece is 4 inches wide. Should work for bigger mugs I think.

Yes, but! For regular mugs, tapered bottoms work best. Standard flat-bottom mugs don't fit right so it seats at an angle (I set my mug on top of a short mug turned over so it sits flat). I also have trouble using a regular mug to pour water inside, it goes everywhere, so I use a measuring cup or tumbler instead.

I have a Keurig Platinum and the mug will not fit even with the spill catcher removed. That said, I still think the mug is worth the hassle.

This mug fits under the keurig. I have three cup sizes large, med, and small. I use 1 med & 1 small cups. I really like this mug.

I use my Contigo mug with my Kuerig. It will fit if you slide out the cup base. This easy to do.

Yes, we tried differant sizes and nor mal size travel mugs fit. They're what I use.

I think it's fair to say that there are a couple of versions of this device. The version I have will fill up, and sit on top of a large standard size mug. Think the size of one of the collectable geographic mugs from Starbucks. Maybe a little more than that if you were to fill the device to the absolute tip top. I believe that the other version of the device must be smaller, either that or people like to complain that this device won't work with their preposterously large mugs.

You can fit a standard sized travel mug under the dispenser. Super tall ones won't work.

That was a gift so i didn't try it myself but from it's look and size of it in my hands, it should fit any standard mug.

I have the LL Bean and another Stainless steel travel mug. The straw fits through the sippy part because it is flexible. It reaches the bottom fine and the top part sort of bends outwards as in the picture. I have had no problem using it in the tall travel mugs. I was told you can actually add two together to make them longer, but I have never tried o it or had to do that. They are easy to clean. I separate them and clean them with warm soapy water. I was tired of the plastic throw any straws and the plastic taste. These are very nice and I have bought two packs. I like the pink and hope maybe more color options are available soon.
