Does anyone know how this works with average-height mugs? Travel mugs are great, but will it be top-heavy and tip over a standard 4-inch-height mug?

the top handle (black) is made of plastic, so it is quite light.it shouldn't topple a 4 inch height mug

I use mine in a standard size porcelain mug all the time with no problems, even in a small-based tea cup. This is a great product- really easy to use and clean. If you use very finely cut teas and herbals it will allow some small particles through into your cup. I plan on getting another.

Not to worry - this tea ball will not be top heavy. The ball is at the bottom of the mug, therefore the weight is at the bottom.

I assume you're talking about a coffee cup mug instead of a travel mug. Your normal sized coffee mug will fit. I don't recommend this coffee maker. Mine didn't last a year. It just quit working.

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.

You have to tip it. My biggest complaint of this mug is that it leaks severely when it falls over.

I use my Starbucks and other coffee mugs with the machine without any problems. I have other 16oz travel mugs that are too tall to fit though..

Hi, the mug is roughly 8 - 8 1/2 inches tall give or take a millimeter or so. I don't have the mug with me, but I know that when I put it under my keurig I have to remove the bottom plate on the keurig and it comes to the top of the keurig cone. hope this helps. love the mug!

If it's not in there tight and too tall it tips too much. I lost a mug while riding as it's on a swivel it tipped too much due to the height and weight of the mug.

Standard mugs fit fine but travel size do not always fit . I just brew and pour into my mug before I leave.seem like about 6" is the max

Hi Nancy, It measures 6 3/4 inches tall without the top. I sure hope it fits as it is one terrific travel mug!!!!

At one time, I seem to remember when I was researching the coffee tree mug, people were getting different stands. Maybe you could call the seller and ask how tall their current model is? We got ours approximately March 2014.

Bruce, 2 issues: I just measured the tank capacity and got 12 oz into it, almost to the top. Also, the cup/mug would have to fit vertically from one of the bases to the underside of the brew drip hole, and would also have to fit on one of the 2 removable bases. The diameter of the larger base is about 3 1/2" and I believe a 12 oz mug could hang over the edge of the base a bit if necessary, without wanting to tip over. You do have to use one of the bases; you can't just set a mug on the counter -there's a tiny permanent base attached to the coffee maker and one of the removable bases has to be in place over it. I use a 10 oz cup that is a little more slender than a typical mug, made of sturdy nicely glazed USA ceramic, that I found at the Goodwill. Personally, I only brew 5 or 6 oz of double-strength coffee and then fill the rest of the cup with soymilk. If you shake the container really hard for about 30 seconds it gets frothy and makes a nice faux latte, lol. Cheers!

It helps a little. But I use one of those cool coffee thermose mugs like (amigo) and holds it just right!!! I hold a thermos large one for my coffee and it's great!!! But the "amigo" mugs work real good :-) for the price, it's a great bottle holder. (Hot or cold) what ever size. The amigo mugs you can get great deal at Costco right now :-) happy holidays

I'll check it out when I get home tonight or tomorrow. I use mine to hold all my coffee mugs. I'd imagine it would do great with wine glasses. It is really good about not tipping over even if you've emptied one side.

A standard 8-10 oz cup easily fits with the drip tray. The drip tray is about 1 in thick, so you can fit a sizeable cup (although I don't think you'd normally use it without a drip tray as the collection comes more from the coffee making than splash/overflow from the cup). A tall travel mug will not fit

You may have a dud. I have two of these and have given 3 as gifts and I have no complaints. While it's not exactly a precision fit they do not seem at all precarious, with my larger mugs I set the dripper on 2 skewers or chopsticks that I lay across the mouth of the mug (on it's own it fits best on a mug with a 2.75" inside diameter up to one with a 3.5" outer diameter).

hey. no problem. I misplaced mine in the wasteland that is my truck cab, but your assumption is spot on. it IS about 7.5" with to top on. as for everything else, it a great mug. if you've ever broke down and bought a travel mug from starbucks, contigo is where they get them from. all in all, a fantastic mug.
