I had four of these for about a year and used them almost daily. I love the size of the mug, that it has a nice lid and that it is clear so I can watch my tea steep. Sure they probably don’t hold heat as well as the ceramic version, but I rarely get to the bottom of a cup and have cold tea.
Now that it’s been over a year, I only have two of them left. The two that broke both developed hairline cracks at the bottom when I was washing them. I use a dish brush and noticed an odd sound when the plastic part of the brush came in contact with the glass. It was the crack forming. I’m not slamming my brush down in the cup, but I’m apparently not being as gentle and careful as I should be. I guess I’m going to have to suck it up and switch to ceramic. No more watching the water change color for me. :(

I had one once. It didn’t last long.
Really? I’ve used one daily for 2 years, banged it around a couple times, and no issues. Maybe I’ve been lucky! Or they might have changed the material composition to something more or less sturdy at some point.
They always seemed a little thin to me. Maybe they used to make them a little thicker.
I really like the new Silver Starburst glass perfect mug they have for winter… But I don’t want to buy it if it’s going to break. :(
…and I came home today to find out my cat knocked it off the table and smashed it. I should have kept my mouth shut. Now I need a new perfect mug and I’m never near a David’s.
^Oh no! :( Order it online?
