I've been looking for a good mug to serve punch or tea in for a long time. Many of them were too fragile or too similar to what you see in a bar. I wanted something more sophisticated and not so expensive that I would worry every time someone (especially some of the teenagers in my family!) casually picked it up. It was around $10 which is a very good price to me! It was perfect. It's heavy enough not to be super fragile. However, it's not so bulky that it's too heavy. Of course, filled with liquid, it's still heavier than something like plastic. I chose red because I sometimes serve punch with dark juice and am concerned that cranberries or grapes might stain the white. I really like that the liner can be screwed onto the lid so you can use it for chilling without dilution or remove it if you want ice in your drinks. The lid snaps into place at the top, but it's not really tight. So if you pour quickly with a strong gush of liquid and ice, he can pop off (I haven't got him yet, but it looks like he might). It has an insert and ice, the insert seems to help weigh it down and hold it. I didn't use a stirrer when serving, but the insert seems to block it a bit. I also really like the grip position. It seems to be in the right place which makes it easier to hold compared to a grip that is too high or too low. And I don't like handles that are attached at the top and bottom (like a D) so your hand slides over them, especially if you have pinky fingers. This is really beautifully designed. The hole is wide enough to put my hand through to wash. If you're a person with really big hands, you can't. I haven't put my plastic parts in the dishwasher yet. I'm just worried about the plastic because sometimes it changes shape or isn't as quick as it used to be so it only takes a minute to hand wash. I can do it after a while. Just didn't want to risk anything new. I will edit my review if I find that the dishwasher has ruined it or the jug itself isn't holding up well.
