I havent noticed a funny taste at all. I use the mugs for coffee and they work pretty well.

This cup has a nickle coating on the inside which keeps your beverage from coming into contact with the copper...until the nickle wears off (which even with gentle washing it will eventually). Also, this mug is a terrible insulator, but the handle helps to keep your your hot hands from warming up the vessel, thereby slowing the warming compared to a mug without a handle. Copper is actually a very poor insulator (it very readily transmits heat which is why it makes a great heat sink material). As for the copper taste, if you're a Moscow Mule traditionalist, you will want to scrub the nickle off before using, or wait until the nickle wears away from washing before enjoying a true Moscow Mule. Whether or not it was a marketing ploy is not longer relevant, since a traditional Moscow Mule requires the drink to come into contact with the copper in order to taste authentic, but as with pretty much everything, you can do it any way you like (just be aware that you're straying from tradition so as not to look foolish).

Hello Yes, the inside is also made of stainless steel. Our mugs will keep your drinks warm for an extended period of time, although we should point out that they are not vacuum nor thermos flasks. Hope that helps. Jessica Hall Customer Service Team Living Concept

No. I don't find a metallic taste when drinking through these straws. They are awesome!

If you're just thinking it will make a cool looking beer mug, you're probably right, but it will also alter the taste of your beer once the nickle plating wears off (my nickle plating wore off quite quickly, and I only ever hand washed them with mild soap, warm water, and a cotton dish rag, so it will eventually wear no matter how careful you are). Once the copper is exposed, it will react with your beer possibly turning it bitter.

Yes,I have seen Moscow Mule Copper Mugs that are engraved. I would contact your local engraver to be sure.

The description claims that the mugs are made of copper and nickel (neither of which contain lead). So the answer to your question is: the cups don't contain lead.

We have had a Grunwerg coffee press for several months and I have not noticed a metallic taste to the coffee. The material seems like good quality stainless, so I would be surprised if such a thing were to occur. Of course, though, there is a metallic scratching sound while pushing the press down since there is metal to metal contact with the sidewalls of the carafe.

I ordered my second set from the same vendor here (A29) by repeating my past order. The set I just received came lined with nickel :(

The ones sold by A 29 are solid copper and not lined. Some of the other sellers may be selling lined mugs.

No, the cups unfortunately didn't state. The cups upon initial use would impart a metallic aluminum taste in the mouth which diminished after about 4-5 rounds of washing in hot water. On occasion they would also cause a mild electrical sensation as though you'd bit into a bit of tin.

They are mega shiny. Although mine has stained and the way suggested to clean wont work. I haven't looked hard for other cleaning methods but, I love this cup. Keeps cold drinks so, very, Cold.

Ive had these cups for about a year and they are my favorite mug. I will say that the covers do have an odor to them for a few weeks. I washed mine several times to get rid of the smell. IT did take several washings but it did go away My mugs are solid Stainless Steel inside and out. They must be referring to the cover, it did have an odor. The mug looks like it did the day I purchased brand new. Im glad i got this response because I plan to purchase a few more. I checked a month or 2 ago and they were not available.
