I had this mug in rotation with two others from different makers. It may have went through the dish washer (top shelf) three times in about a month and a half. The rubber bottom fell off. The inner cup seperated from the outer liner. I've tried to hot glue it back together with no luck. Definetly not worth the money. Incidently, the two other cups - one was a promotion item from a trade show, the other was a gift from Starbucks that came with a gift card. I've used the two other mugs, dishwasher and all and they have held up. Incidently. I bought the mug along with a Cuisinart Grind and Brew. now that is a great product!

There is some question about the durability of this cup as noted elsewhere more specifically with the rubberized grip which loosens over time and tends to move around.

This cup is compatible with the Cuisinart Two To Go coffeemaker, a fine product whose name is most descriptive of its function. The Two To Go coffeemaker which is generally available for around $20 includes two of these cups which makes the price of the singular cup offered here seem over priced.

When you consider the great convenience of the Cuisinart TTG-500RM Mug to Go Coffeemaker--and the low price that Amazon is asking--this deal is too good to pass up. Enjoy a hot, tasty brew and save cash while you're at it!

How long can you expect a travel mug to last? My husband and I have used our two mugs every week day for the past 14 months. The mugs are hand washed every day. The first mug had its plastic liner separate from the steel outer layer within 6 months; the second mug just had this same separation yesterday. The reason this happens is because the lid seals extremely well to the plastic liner. When the lid is removed to wash the inside of the mug, a lot of pressure is exerted to separate the two pieces. The mug itself does a very good job of keeping the coffee warm for several hours and, if knocked over, it doesn't let a lot of coffee out. So if you feel that 6 months -- 14 months of nearly every day use is the life expectancy of a travel mug, this is the mug for you.

This mug is great. I bought two of them. My husband loves his as well. It does not have the little thing on the lid that you have to move to drink, which is nice. It's easy to handle and fits in all of our car cup holders. Keeps drinks warm for a reasonable amount of time, not hours, but long enough to to drink it all without racing through.
