At first glance, I thought, 'Really?! A canning jar travel mug?' but after
reading the product description,
I thought "Oh hell yeah I can see myself sporting one of those!"
Here's why:
We're all trying to cut down on wasteful products like disposable cups and water bottles.. How often do we hear that the materials used to make portable mugs and water bottles are toxic?
Pros:
• As noted on the Cuppow website, Ball jars or mason jars make great eco-friendly drinking glasses since they are made of heat resistant glass, easy to clean, and won't leak when properly sealed.
• The Cuppow lid is BPA free and 100% recyclable.
• Both the lid and canning jars are dishwasher safe, so you don't have to worry about what bacteria may lurk in the dark corners of your travel mug.
• Reasonable price of $7.99.
• How cool, retro and quirky will you be drinking out of a Mason Jar/Sippy cup. I love the idea!! LOL

Cons:
• The only real con I can think of has nothing to do with the lid, but with the use of a mason jar and the fact that it's glass. This could limit usability. I think this idea would be great for use at the office or around the house, or in the car, but I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying this in a crowded area. I also wouldn't feel comfortable using this as a sports bottle, but the idea makes me laugh.
• Comfort level holding hot drinks, which I suppose would depend on how hot you like your drinks. Another solution to this issue could be using a mason jar with a handle, or a koozie, in which you could get creative with styles of koozies. I'll show some that I like below and how you can personalize one.

Where to buy: CUPPOW- How to turn a canning jar into a travel mug!
LET'S TALK ABOUT KOOZIES!!!
You buy a koozie to fit your Mason jar from places like
Amazon, Ebay or Etsy.
You can make your own personalized koozie.
Here's how: Just buy some foam from the store in the craft department, cut to desired size, cover it with your favorite fabric (monogram it with name or initials if desired). Then adhere with spray glue and sew up the sides.
Be creative!
