Early Hands-On Reviews

4.75/5 Rating from 55 Reviews

Grip feels like a barbell

The handle is the reason why I love the Tuff Mug. The knurling feels like the barbell at the gym but better! I had no idea that it was the diameter as a barbell. I can hold this all day long.

- Bryan P.

Hot coffee stays hot

I start my day with a fresh pour over coffee and it's still hot by the end of my first few meetings. After a quick rinse I put in ice cubes with an entire Coke Zero. It can handle any drink. Then it's straight into the dishwasher.

- Jerry J.

I use it every day so far

My shelf is stacked with mugs, but this is the one I grab without thinking. The stainless steel has a clean look and the handle just feels better in my hand than the rest.

- John S.

Best beer grip ever

I poured a full bottle of beer in it and it still had room left for the foam. The barbell handle feels like the right way to drink a beer.
