It arrived as expected. It seems very sturdy. No issues so far.

Bought these as Christmas presents and have no idea what the recipients think of them because it’s Christmas Eve today and they’ll open them tomorrow.What I can honestly say from here is that the size and quality and ergonomics feel right and I plan on ordering one for myself.If you’re one to drink tomato soup or chili straight out or a cup then these are for you!The horizontal handle is great for campfire coffee as well as it gives a more serious purchase on the body of the cup than a standard teacup ear with a small hole in it.You won’t go pinkie up with these.My lone gripe is that it won’t quite hold 12 ounces, so a standard soda or beer won’t quite squeeze into these.But that’s trivial.These are an awesome piece of kit for outdoor adventures or for Sunday more inf coffee with a good book.Just be sure to get some mineral oil and treat these as you should treat any other wooden kitchen implement you may own.

Loved it so much that I bought two more for Christmas gifts. My camping friends love them! Very well made, nice weight and perfectly smooth with a beautiful honey color.

This wood cup is truly a beautiful piece of work. Not sure on the usage with the size though. It is exactly 12 oz, right up to the brim. If you are drinking anything hot in it or eating soup, 10 oz would be the safest way to go. That's only my opinion though. It could be very useful for other things.

Nice little hand carved spoon

To start with, these are in fact made in China. It is in very tiny print by the UPC label. The only one of all in this "series" whose origin remains questionable, is the stainless steel pot. It doesn't say "Made in China" anywhere that I could find, but, nor did it say, "Made in USA". I would have really preferred this cup be made in the US (or Canada), or some country with labor laws, BUT this is a REALLY nice cup. There is nothing cheap about it. It would make a great and thoughtful gift. It is light to carry, the finish is fine, it feels great in one's hands, and although I can't explain how or why, stuff seems to taste better from it. I don't know if it's some sort of primal throw back, but it feels like it belongs in a hand. It feels good as your lips meet the wood. It's satisfying. I have it hanging on one of the kitchen cabinet pulls because it has a neat little leather lanyard thing on it and it looks good. So, I truly do love my wooden mug no matter where it came from. And I mentally thank the Chinese person who made it.

It is nice enough I now have to buy a second one for my wife. It is not a light weight back-packing item unless this is the 'luxury item' in your pack and you don't mind a little more weight for it. This isn't a bad thing, but something to keep in mind. I plan to use mine on shorter day hikes, car camping, and probably here at home too. Mine needs just a touch of additional sanding inside the cup, there were a couple of minor rough spots.. not a big problem, but the smoother this is the easier it is to both clean, keep clean, and minimize any 'germ' phobia issues :)I've heard some on here are using normal vegetable oil to season their cups. I would advise against that. Normal vegetable oil goes rancid and your cup will stink when it does. I recommend food grade walnut oil. It costs a bit more, but it doesn't go rancid and you can also use it on cutting boards, and other wooden utensils. It's a pretty cool cup and will get noticed at the campsite.

I own both sizes of cups, and they're quite nice overall. They certainly have a rustic appeal to them, but the big issue is one of capacity. The 12 oz model can barely hold 8.5 ounces of room temp water without risking spillage, while the 8 oz cup is good for about 6.7 ounces. But if you fill these cups to those levels, be prepared to spill some of that liquid on yourself.I don't think the capacity is the problem, but rather the claim that the larger is a "12 ounce" model. Its actual capacity falls well below those claims, at (less than) 8.5 (usable) ounces it's only 71% of what it should be. The 8 ounce model isn't quite as egregious an offender. so (less than) 6.71 (usable) ounces means 84% of its claimed capacity, so not terrible.The descriptions at the top are also messed up at the Time of this writing. The 8 ounce claim of "700 milliliters" of capacity would equal about 24 ounces (obviously wrong). Its listed dimensions are close enough. Its listed weight of ".34" pounds is reasonably close for a "hand made" product (mine came in at 6.4 ounces, or ".4 pounds". The 12 ounce cup claims a weight of 2 ounces, which it most definitely is not. Mine weighs 8.67 ounces. And of course its claimed capacity of 12 ounces is a complete exaggeration. If I promised 12 but could only deliver 8.5, I wouldn't be able to keep my job.So that's it. Putting aside the fact that there are "knockoff" cups that look exactly the same but for about half the cost here on Amazon itself, these cups are still worth keeping as long as you get them with a clear understanding of the actual capacity. It begs the question though, are these cups so popular that a lot of companies are making knockoff cups for half the price, or instead are these cups being resold with a significant markup?** UPDATESo I bought a "knockoff" version of the 8 ounce cup at half the cost. The packaging was IDENTICAL to the Uberleben 8 ounce cup. The only different was that the generic cup did not come with any branding (No large "Uberleben" tag, no brand on the bottom of the cup). Having said that, my Uberleben 12 ounce cup developed a crack on the wood with very little use, and contacting them they did not hesitate to send out a replacement. So basically the premium you are paying for the name is that they will fully support the item despite the product's origins.
