First, this mug is absolutely functional. It insulates very well (though not quite as well as Nissan's Backpack Bottle), keeping coffee warm for a few hours no problem. It doesn't leak. The handle is comfortable and easy to use. It fits in my car's cupholders.
However, the lid is, in my opinion, simply a poor design. You have to reach down into the mouth of the thermos, pinch the lid with your thumb and forefinger, and then try to twist to unscrew it (or screw it in tightly). This is a very difficult action - you can't grab around the outside of the lid to apply any leverage; it's all finger strength to remove the lid. And keep in mind - when you put in a hot liquid, and let it cool even a little, the air inside will contract, creating a tighter seal and making the lid even harder to remove. Also, as others have mentioned, the lid is two pieces - meaning it does come apart for cleaning, but also meaning you have to take it apart for a thorough cleaning.
Overall I'm happy with the mug, but I wish they would have thought a little more about the lid!Get more detail about Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug.
