What customers say
Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional design of this travel mug. The Detroit map etching and genuine leather wrap create a sophisticated and unique aesthetic that sets it apart from typical drinkware. This premium feel, combined with the durable construction of the leather element, drives high satisfaction regarding overall quality and presentation. While the visual appeal is a major selling point, thermal retention performance is noted as adequate rather than exceptional. The focus remains strongly on its superior look and feel.
Know before you buy
The leather sleeve is removable, which makes cleaning the glass jar simple. You should slide the sleeve off before washing the jar and spot-clean the leather with a damp cloth as needed; it is not dishwasher safe.
This is a standard glass mason jar, not a vacuum-insulated tumbler. While it is perfect for daily commutes, it will not maintain beverage temperatures for extended periods like a double-walled stainless steel mug.
The Cuppow lid is designed for splash-resistance during travel, making it ideal for walking or commuting. However, it is not a fully sealed, leak-proof lid, so it should be kept upright rather than tossed into a bag.
No, the mug is not microwave safe. You should remove the leather sleeve and the lid before heating your beverage, or simply pour your hot drink into the jar after heating it elsewhere.
The 1931 Detroit map is laser-etched directly into the vegetable-tanned leather. Because it is a natural material, the leather will develop a unique patina over time, which often enhances the visibility and character of the etching.
