I wanted to love this vessel, and I did...for maybe three uses. I'm known for being pretty obsessive about taking good care of my things, but as I was taking this out of my bag and putting it onto my work desk this morning, the bottom caught the edge of the desk. It wasn't huge whack, just knocked a bit on the side, but the top inside of the glass completely sheared off. We use a lot of glassware in our house and all of it feels really sturdy to me...but the way this broke, it just feels flimsy. Maybe it was because the lid was screwed on at the time so there wasn't any give, but it's really a major bummer for what I felt was a minor bump. I can't imagine what would happen if you actually dropped it!
I've been relying on coffee in the morning, in part because I don't like the way tea tastes out of plastic or metal containers. Also, I am a bit of a klutz and if I don't use a travel mug walking around with my tea - I have the tea-stained jeans to prove it.
So, I got the Vue. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and still am a bit mixed in my review.
The tea stays warm for some time, about an hour. I do get heat transference to the outside of the container, but not so much that I can't hold it.
The tea strainer is quite shallow. I wasn't sure if I should put my leaves on top of the strainer and pull it out before going, or put the leaves in the main container so they keep steeping and let the strainer keep the leaves out of my mouth. I've used it both ways, depending on the type of tea.
The snap mouth opening is pretty heavy duty. This is great, as it keeps the contents in, just be prepared to use a bit of force.
All that said, I love how my tea tastes with the Vue and it seems really well made.
I am sort of a coffee snob and I really hate drinking good coffee out of a paper cup or metal travel mug. The Vue double walled glass container is so practical for drinking my GOOD coffee out of. It keeps my coffee warm and the outside of the container doesn't get hot. Not only does it keep my expensive coffee warm for a long time, it looks super fancy when I put cream in my coffee. I have heard that Eco Vessel will be making a glass bottle that will have a silicone sleeve that will help make the glass bottles virtually indestructible, I CANT WAIT!!!
I have had no problems with my Vue bottle and am a die hard glass user now, thanks Eco Vessel.
Also, I do realize that the Vue is a glass container and take extra care not to break it.
