I purchased this reusable glass cup as a replacement for one I’d had for years that broke.Firstly the pros:It’s very sturdy, strong glass and despite being a larger cup, fits snuggly into my cars cup holders.It’s comfortable to sip from.The cons:Unless you get the lid on exact, it leaks. The inner lip that slips over the rim of the glass has a very thin gap so needs to be placed perfectly or else it leaks. You have to check it’s on right every time you use it. Because the gap is thin yet deep, you can’t get a wash cloth or brush down into it for cleaning so rely on hot water alone.The silicone sleeve is very stiff so trying to remove it for cleaning is like peeling off a tight wetsuit with no give.

Aesthetics are on point! Definitely
Aesthetics are on point! Definitely need to have a careful hand when using and washing it. The lid feels very flimsy as it's just a rubber insert that goes over the glass. I keep thinking it'll spill on me when I drink, but so far no spills!... Show more

Better than before
I was gifted a Joco cup years ago when they first came out. As much as I liked the idea, like most products, it wasn't perfect at first; the silicone sleeve was thin, so it became really hot and difficult to hold, and it started to slide a little on the glass after the first couple of washes, so I was kind of nervous handling it. The cap also tended to spill when I was just walking down the street. I've since re-gifted it, but fast-forwarding to now, I wanted an environmental-conscious, casual to-go-like cup, and remembered Joco.Of course, Joco has since updated their design, but they still have a lot of their classic stuff around, though not always on their website. Thankfully, I found the size (12oz) and color (deep teal) I wanted here at Eartheasy (yay!). I've ... MoreI was gifted a Joco cup years ago when they first came out.

Thankfully, I found the size (12oz) and color (deep teal) I wanted here at Eartheasy (yay!). I've attached pictures and apologize for the lighting, because it looks a little more blue, but it really is a beautiful dark rich teal color. I'm so glad I gave Joco a second try, because it was clear at some point during those years, they've improved the design!The cap stays on and there no spillage, unless you're sprinting after the bus. The sleeve is thicker and does not get too hot to hold, which was my main concern. Cleaning it is so easy; they say it's dishwasher safe, but I just hand-wash mine, because it's not a big deal to me. I believe you can take the silicone sleeve off to wash, but this new one is so sturdy and hard to pull off, that I just leave it; It still gets cleaned and I'm not getting the feeling that it might get weak and slip off the glass over time. The glass cup itself fits comfortably in my hand and I use it every day. I love that I have the feel of a to-go cup that its purchase goes towards cleaning oceans. And yes, I've taken it to Starbucks multiple times to get my favorite Tall macchiatos and lattes. I will say that Joco's largest/XL size is 16oz, which is equal to a Starbucks Grande, so keep that in mind if that's important to you. No Venti-friendly sizes available, unfortunately. But, I'm a casual coffee drinker, so my 12oz cup suits me just perfectly whether I'm using it at a coffee shop, in the office, or at home.Sorry for the essay, but I'm just so happy that I have this new great experience with a cup that had potential years ago and saw that it had improved!...

Does NOT keep your coffee warm
I really wanted to like this cup because I liked the look of the cup and wanted to get something sustainable. However after I started using it, I started to see the limitations. It doesn't do a good job at retaining the heat and I'm the kind of person that likes to have a warm cup at her desk to sip on through the morning. In the winter, I'm lucky if my drink will stay warm by the time I get to my office. I have to tuck the cup in between my thighs to keep the warmth from escaping completely in the car. The cup itself will also get quite hot while the heat is escaping.Another observation, if you have pets, you will be seeing their hairs on your lid.Overall, not impressed by this cup.... Show more

I love this coffee cup!
I love this coffee cup! I got the 12 oz, originally for my husband because he uses them all the time, but ended up keeping it. We have a bunch of starbucks ones and we both hate the metal. This cup is wide, feels good in the hand, and fits in your car cup holder. The lid is a game changer for me honestly. It comes up high off the cup so there is no spilling. Very comfortable to drink from and just all around a different kind of cup. Its great!... Show more

JOCO - Environmentally-friendly coffee...yay!
I love my JOCO glass coffee cup from biome so much, I bought 2 more. I love drinking out of glass, I love that I can order the largest size of coffee (other brands don't go up to the 16oz), and being glass they clean really easily. The colour of the rubber grip and lid is gorgeous and now a hot coffee doesn't burn my finger tips. I also love not having the guilt of disposing of huge amounts of waste courtesy of my one/two a day coffee habit.... Show more

My Go-To Keep Cup
I love these! I have been using the JOCO glass cup for some time now, perfect for my morning latte which I get from the cafe across from my work place. I don't like drinking out of take away cups and of course there is the issue of waste. The silicone lid fits snug and I have never had any leakage and the silicone around the cup makes it comfortable to hold. Love it!... Show more

Nice product overall
Easy to use, easy to clean, and microwaveable. I use this mostly for tea and water. I often use it with a glass straw pushed through the mouth of the lid. The straw stretches the mouth a little, but it returns to the original shape when I remove it.I like that this cup is plastic-free but I would prefer that the sleeve and lid be made of a compostable material, like Pela’s flaxstic, rather than silicone, which is not easily recyclable or compostable for most people.I took a star off because the silicone sleeve and lid had a very strong odor, and because under the sleeve there were two small imperfections in the glass, possibly air bubbles, but they didn’t seem to affect functionality.The smell on the silicone almost a pleasant odor at first (like perfume or ...

Washing with soap and water didn’t remove the smell, and soaking in vinegar just made it smell like vinegar on top of the existing smell. Finally I tried baking the silicone at low heat, as I read an article that said it could remove odors, and it worked.... Show more
