Handwarmer Mug - Left Hand (Ocean Tide)

Nice mug. Holds the perfect amount of morning coffee. Keeps it hot. Bought specifically because I am left handed — I had never heard of a left handed mug before. Not disappointed but also don’t particularly feel there is a big difference. Could just be me.

I boiled water and tracked the inside and outside temperatures. Allow me to warn you that the mug may exhibit a heat transfer delay. So your first touch of the mug after a fresh-poured beverage may seem tolerable, but if you continue to carry it or pick up the mug again, the high temperature could be intolerable. The outside "fold" of the pocket is not in contact with the heat, and would be the simplest way to carry the drink, without gloves or potholder, if you must.At 3:10 pm, I poured boiling water in the mug and measured the water at 198° And the mug at 168°.At 3:15 pm, water was 167° and mug 147°.At 3:25 pm, water was 152°, mug 141°.At 3:30 pm, water was 142°, mug 134°.At 3:40 pm, water was 129°, mug was 120°, and at this point, the mug was tolerable for my pain threshold. I add cold cream to my coffee, so it normally takes me about 20 minutes before I can tolerate the temp. It takes even less time when the AC or ceiling fan are running, or I'm sitting outside in the wintery cold air. Also, I don't normally pour boiling water straight in my mug; my coffee cools down in the French press as I wait for the brewing. So temps are variable based on circumstances. But I do know it will never take more than half an hour to comfortably grip my coffee mug, based on the above figures.This mug is beautiful and it fits comfortably in my hand. This past week I've been looking forward to relaxing with a cup of coffee. I might just get me one now! Well worth the price.The one issue I have, that had me concerned for a while was the picture that shows up under my order history is of a screen protector. I almost cancelled my order, for fear of receiving a screen protector instead of the mug. The same picture appeared after I ordered the mug for my sister (yes, I bought this as a gift, too. I told you! I love this mug!) I tried answering a question below, and I received a message saying I had to buy this through Amazon to reply. I'll be surprised if this review goes through! But it could be a web glitch.As for the mug itself, I absolutely love it! If you decide to use it as a pencil holder, you can use the pocket flap to store those black triangle clips on. 🙂 But it really is worth it as a hot beverage mug.

It’s very well made and good looking. Although, I have small hands and if they were any bigger my fingers might not fit in the “slot” too well. But it warms my hand very nicely and I’m looking forward to using it a lot this winter. I’m glad I got it. (Made in the USA!!)Edit: after using for a few days I love this mug. Holding it, my fingers and palm fit very well and I have trouble with my fingers getting numb when I’m cold. This mug will really help this winter. I got the left hand one because those are the finger that get the coldest and I’m always using my right hand. It’s a really well made product.

Bought this for my sister who has difficulty closing her hands in the morning after waking up, She loves it. I can see where someone with neuropathy or arthritis would find this mug easier to hold.

Love these cups. Great unique gifts!

I ordered this as a gift as it’s hard to find left-handed ones in stores, and the recipient loved it! It’s worth the extra cost to get something like this handmade as each one will be unique. The quality and beauty are exceptional!

After reading reviews on other manufacturers that complained of too hot to hold and inside coating peeling, I purchased the Clay in Motion mug as a gift for my daughter. It is made in America and the reviews were far better. My daughter has confirmed that there are no too hot to handle or peeling issues - she loves it! Thank you!

Oh my gracious! I am so glad to have found this mug. Years ago, I had a hand thrown clay mug that I loved dearly. (Brown Clay Coffee Mug, BCCM, for short). I cherished the BCCM. It was large enough that it held 16 oz of coffee. It had a fantastic weight, a nice thick lip, and the handle was large enough I could slide all four fingers through to cup the mug. About 6 years ago, my dear BCCM found it was no match for my tile floor when it fell to its death. I have been in mourning ever since. I have purchased many mugs over the past few years trying to find a perfect replacement for my beloved BCCM. It has become a running joke with family and friends that during every vacation, we spend at least an hour's combined time searching for a coffee mug to meet my standards. We find one that we think will be okay, I'll use it 2 or 3 times, only to realize that I don't like it and end up giving it to one of the aforementioned family and friends. I don't know that any one of them will ever need to purchase another coffee mug again.Several weeks ago, one of my friends sent me a picture of one of my passed on mugs, stating that it was still *her* favorite. This caused us to once again get talking about how I was still on the hunt for a replacement for the BCCM. She recently became familiar with your product and sent a link to me with the thought that it might work. I immediately ordered this mug and I love it! The only complaint I can come up with in comparison to the BCCM is that the thickness of the mug is still thinner than I would like but everything else makes up for the small difference.I'll always have a special place in my heart for the BCCM (especially because its demise became such a running joke) but a bit of that hole is now filled with my GCCM!

love my mug.. use it daily for my coffee.
