Cools coffee faster than ceramic.

For coffee drinkers: - It's a lot more lightweight than ceramic mugs. Until you get used to that, set it down slowly. - It's thin, contributing to its weight, obviously, but it also makes the cup prone to potentially being bent and misshapen if kept in a bag for travel or merely squeezing it a little too hard (though I don't imagine anyone will be doing that when filled with freshly poured coffee). - In terms of palming your mug, if you typically do that, remember this is a thin, steel cup, so you'll feel the heat on freshly poured coffee. Not a problem if holding by the handle. - The handle (take a look at the photo provided) is very ergonomic and practical. Nothing too fancy about it, but its shape provides easy transfer of movement from table to mouth. - If you're used to ceramic, you will smell and taste the steel. I don't notice TOO much of a difference when actually sipping coffee, but it will be noticeable. If you don't want any other flavors and scents mingling into your coffee drinking experience, stick with ceramic. - This being steel, heat will dissipate much more quickly. This isn't exact but, perhaps twice as quickly as in ceramic. Those are the highlights. The cup is very simple. It serves a very simple purpose and there's no bells and whistles about it at all. It's easy to clean and (if you think this to be a benefit) DOES cool your freshly brewed coffee down noticeably quicker than a ceramic mug would. It's best used for campfire coffees and quick drinks. I would still recommend ceramic over steel if your focus is on the coffee and the experience of drinking coffee (a slower experience). If you're focus is on getting coffee into your body so that you can do other things (a faster experience), this steel mug wouldn't be a bad investment.
