Is there anything on the bottom (ridges, etc.) that will hold it in place on a travel cup? Or could it slide or get knocked off easily?

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

There is an inside and outside ridge of plastic, BUT it is very, very slight (less than 1/8"), barely perceptible.

No, it can't really be secured. It could be knocked off easily. I'd recommend it for office use.

Yes, there are small ridges on the bottom that allow it to fit on all my travel cups, but you do have to be careful not to bump it or move the cup since it is lightweight and could be knocked off fairly easily. Once I make the coffee, I dump the filter in the trash, rinse it with water, and I am done! It is my favorite way to make coffee for one person!

Sorry to be so long getting back to you. Just a low ridge as I recall. It could get knocked off because there is no room for a flange since it sits so close to the coffee. I got mine for camping but gave it away when I opted for high end instant, which is simply less hastle when camping. Still love my Melitta at home though.

There is a small ridge, but it doesn't hold it in place securely. I place the cup and Joe against the edge of the sink and this works as well as anything I have tried. I love this little guy!

It seems to me that this would not be an ideal use of this gadget. It is sturdy but the cup openings are rather shallow...I like this product but would like it better if it held the cup more securely.

I love this french press but I don't think the lid is secure enough for travel.

The mug screws on and off. It is a little hard to do but not bad. When you are putting the lid on after filling it, screw it down until you cannot see any of the shiny metal and I guarantee it will NOT leak. I love this travel mug. It is what I had been searching for a long time. I carry it all the time and would consider getting another one or getting one for a gift for someone. They are great.

I throw it in my big purse with my iPad, papers, etc. every day. If you've taken a sip, just wipe off the top as a small amount will usually remain in the top part (you'll see what I mean when you use it). The top screws on and you have to push a button on the back of the top when you want to take a sip, so I can't imagine what could hit it hard enough to push the button or unscrew the top. I do usually keep it standing up, but I wouldn't be afraid if it fell over. Enjoy!

The surface has a bit of a rubbery texture to it and it does hold my laptop in place. Sliding should not be an issue.

No the bottom is not smooth. It has a beveled edge and then flat bottom. But, it will sit just fine on a glass top. I don't suggest sliding it around.

Sadly no. You would have to find a way to secure it permanently Due to the contour of the ball and cup.

The cup holders have a little stretch to them. I would feel safe putting a sports bottle/something with a tight cover in it, but probably not a looser fitting lid such as a fast food drink or coffee cup.

It's not flimsy, and definitely won't slide off with normal use. Unfortunately I don't travel with this unit, so I can't really speak on how it would hold up being carried in a bag daily, but my honest opinion is that it wouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps!

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.

Yes. The cup also has rubber grab points. So, once it's in the pocket it doesn't shift or move.

I have an ipad 3 in a commuter and it kind of sits on top somewhat securely because the bottom side of the case is somewhat narrower. Once i place it on there it doesn't move around and I'd have to bump it pretty hard to get it fall off. So it won't fit completely in but it works. Same with icade that I have.

yes, the only issue I found with it, you need to heat the cup up with hot water and even then, it doen't stay as warm as other mugs. But I love glass over plastic. The aluminium travel cups from Thermos aren't plastic and they keep drinks hot for longer.

I've had one for a few years now. I think I may have tried velcro, but in the end I decided that it generally stays put on its own. If you're trying to put a large drink in the cupholder, it won't stay in the holder anyway.

Should not be a problem. It has little stoppers on the bottom it will not slip.

None. I'm using a steelseries with no rubber grips on the bottom and I have no issues with it sliding.
