i want to get a mug for my dad...this one looks great, but he hates when his nose hits the top of the mug...how's this one?

This one is a nose hitter, especially when trying to empty out the bottom sips.

My daughter bought me my first one about twenty years ago. I now have three of them that I rotate. They are great. Hot coffee at 8:00 is still warm at noon. I have never had a problem with it hitting my nose. I guess it would depend on how big his nose is. I love these mugs and highly recommend them.

Well, I guess that depends more on your Dad's nose! Mine os normal and I have no problems. Yes I can make t hot, but, my hand is capable of personal control. BTW, this keeps things hot a long timeand, if I get something too hot from our Cafeteria about 8-9 a.m. it is still comfortably hot at 1:00 p.m. same day.

This mug works great for me. It is the best travel mug I have ever owned. I have no problem with my nose hitting the top of the mug. I guess the determining factor would be the size of your dad's nose.

I have not had this problem. As a matter of fact, there is no ridge opposite the side where you drink - there is an opening there as well as on the drinking side. The ridge is between the two openings, if that makes sense and I see no way your nose can hit it. Hope this helps. I love mine.

I feel qualified to answer this as I have a prominent nose. The bridge of my nose hits the little flip-up thingy that stops the drinking hole from leaking. The well is deep enough so the tip of my nose doesn't hit the lid bottom where wet coffee can hang around. If you can ask him if the tip of his nose is what bothers him or the bridge of his nose, it will help refine your question. I like this mug because it doesn't have handle, sits nicely in car cup holder but I occasionally get froth on the bridge of my nose since the mug is so narrow.

Perfect. I use one, and my husband uses one. In fact, I bought 3 more for my husband since he loses them sometimes and hates using any other travel mug. Bought them for our grown kids and my in-laws. Keeps drinks hot for a long time.

I realty depends on how big your nose is. I have a rather small nose so it fits inside the rim and does not bother me.

Sorry, I no longer own the mug, however it might be possible to get a straw through the opening. Another option could be to drill the hole large enough to accept a straw. Apologies, that I could not be more help-

If he's able to push it off his face, the leader is too loose. You need to make sure it's properly fitted -- there are some good youtube videos on how to do that. It can be quite a bit tighter than you probably think. You want to be able to fit one or two fingers underneath it, but only just. If it's tight enough around the upper part of his nose, he won't be able to push it off.

You're welcome! I don't think you would be disappointed in these Oggi mugs. We ended up buying sets for each of our grown kids because they liked ours so much! The thumb grip is a nice feature on it too. They are really nice to drink from and keep the drinks really cold. We do enjoy Moscow Mules from them & they are the perfect size.

I gave this mug as a gift. I tried to get the answer from her but did not. I can tell you, it is big and she loves it.

I have used this mug for over 5 years without an issue. It does need the cap cleaned regularly. Remove the gasket and clean it. Separate the top and bottom of the cap by prying them apart using a coin or tool in the slot on one side. Stuff builds up on the inside and can cause an unpleasant odor and perhaps an unpleasant taste.

I found it easy to drink from without having to unscrew the whole top. The only consideration is that a small rubber piece would sometimes hit against my rather large nose so that I could need to wipe of a small brown spot that might then appear on the tip of my nose. It is not really a problem. This mug keeps my coffee very hot and never spills, even when it gets turned upside down (I usually carry it on my backpack, which gets put in strange positions in the trunk of my car or on the floors of public transit.

It isn't it is a great mug, and I would recommend it to everyone, but if you a 3$ mug works for you and that is what you like then more power to you. :) I personally love teavanas logo, so a clear glass mug with it frosted on there was really appealing to me. plus, it is a well made mug. That isn't to say it is "better" per say. It is just another glass mug in the end, nothing really special as far as features go.

You just nuzzle it into the cup... for unknown reasons, sometimes it nuzzles in and off easier than others. But I always get it "into" (on) and off. Still LOVE this mug! There is no "guard" to slide -- the drinking hole is there always, so if you have too much liquid inside, it can "spit" at you... =)

I've been drinking coffee out of it--hot, hot, hot! I put it in the mic to heat it up, and it is fine. It is ceramic, so treat it like any ceramic mug, and it will be fine. :)

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

I did not make this mug!!! I just purchased it. It's a coffee mug... Nothing more. Nothing less. If you have an issue with it talk to the people who you bought it from/ who make it. I only commented on my purchase to help others know if it was worth the money IN MY OPINION. if you don't like it, return it.

I press the button for open and close on top, I love the mug , I use it everyday, it doesn't spill, give it a real good cleaning once in a while.

You know, the mug was a gift and is no longer in my possession. I didn't inspect it when it was received. I think you can get a pretty good idea based on the picture.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

I wouldn't recommend this mug because the handle is attached by some kind of weld process. I had to return one because it wasn't attached properly at the bottom. I ordered a different mug that had handles that were riveted and am totally satisfied

I wouldn't recommend it, at least for the base. Water somehow got stuck in what I believe was the handle so each time you shake it, water swishes around. Because I hand wash it, this mug has been with me for 7+ years
