Will this work for the plastic straw in a reuseable iced coffee cup (such as Contigo's) or is it too thick?

I am not familiar with Contigo's, but i would have to guess that it would be to thick,hope this helps!

If the straw is similar to a starbucks straw it's too thick....(I am not familiar with Contigo's) but if it's closer to a mcdonalds straw it will work! :) HTH

I use mine with a wide-mouthed mug, also a narrow, tall travel 'mug' and it is fine. Tries over a small tea-cup - no problem. Ol\nly thing you have to watch, the small handle. Also, make sure you have put it on evenly so it is secure. I love mine. My plastic one lasted 47 years, but this is wonderful (and coffee tastes better!). Felicity.

Skinny plastic straws (or any straws) will go right through this. I'd suggest getting a silverware/flatware type of basket. Good luck!

I honestly don't think it will matter. It's a strong rubbery substance. It will definitely work better than a regular straw.

Have never tried to use this brush for a straw. But I think it would be to large. It will not fit in a Wendy's shake straw.

The opening under the sliding closer is sort of a half moon shape, so yes you could use a straw, a standard size one would fit. A larger one, like the ones that come with Tervis-type cups, would be too big.

The lip opening is more of a slit, so I would say a straw would not fit through the opening...Sorry

You could probably use a thick straw! I didn't end up keeping the lids because the didn't stay on very well. The underside has three rings to fit "any" size. They didn't fit either of the cups I get it for!! It's also not a secure fit, if the cup falls over, you will have a big mess

Yes, works well for iced coffee and the like... Doesn't do as nice a job on thick things like milkshakes, but you can do it... Will wear on the motor. Had mine over a year and makes my coffees so much tastier.

I bought this as a gift, so I do not own one myself. However, I have a similar sized bottle and use the long straws from Starbucks.

I have never used it for something so thick, but I would try it. You may have to pound on the bottom of the container to help it along. I sure like this funnel. I would be lost without it!

I don't know what a TERVIS straw is, but this brush will fit through a standard size straw. I tried it on a 'hospital bendy' type straw, inch diameter, with the accordion style at the bend, and it worked perfectly The diameter of the brush at the bristles is about &#8540; inch. The bristles flex just enough to allow it to go through the straw, and firm enough to clean inside. If you have a straw with a larger diameter than &#8540; inch, it may not be as effective. I used a postage stamp sized piece of cloth or a piece of cotton to bulk up the brush. (The cloth was better, no cotton to pick out of the bristles) This is a great set of brushes.

It should accept most plastic and stainless straws, and some smaller diameter glass straws!

I've only used the brush with these straws: http://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Stainless-Steel-Drink-Straws/dp/B000AUIN18/ref=pd_sim_k_2 But the bristles are not terribly stiff and seem to collapse well inside the straw.

The opening that you drink from is *just* wide enough to also support a straw, but it has to be a tall straw, and it can't be the hard plastic kind; to fit, it has to push oblong just the tiniest bit. That said, I usually get a tall straw when I refill at QT or Racetrac, and that works fine.

it's the same as a standard straw, BUT as they are hard (acrylic type) there is no give. For example i have some older tervis cups with older lids that they won't fit thru, but the new tervis lids they will. i would say don't risk it. they are really cool straws though .....hope that helps ;)

I did a test using these other cups (left over from get togethers) and the hard cups are the preferred choice. I have regular sized coffee cups, but also have the double cup size. This works really good. And the gripper feet on the bottom keep the urn from sliding.
