Fellow Carter Everywhere Mug

I love this mug so much, that I got myself the taller version too! It retains the freshness of the beverage for longer hours than expected.

I wish I was not writing a bad review but this product is everything that I did NOT expect it to be. I bought this after a good research and watching a lot of review videos. I have used metal Thermos for ages and recently also used Sttoke but I was looking for something which is leak proof, ceramic inside (coating is also fine) and well built to last a long time. The reviews of this product guaranteed me all of this but when I actually bought it and used, it only gives you good build quality and leak-proof feature. The main selling point of theirs which is "smell the coffee while drinking without compromising the flavor" is not true. The mug smells something weird and the taste of coffee is changed to something I can't even explain. I have tried different coffees, tea and even just plain drinking water and everything changes its taste just after few minutes in it. Even after washing it with soap, you smell some weird smell once it gets dry. I have bought two mugs so it's not only one-off bad piece. Both the mugs smells similar and I can't even understand what this smell is, not metallic, not plastic, not rubber, something not pleasant. A serious failure and waste of money. I'm giving two stars for its build quality, leak-proof guarantee and holding the liquids hot for a long time but technically all these features are useless when it changes the taste of the beverage and smells weird. Please buy some other mug. I'm going back to my decade old Thermos, metallic taste is not that bad afterall compared to what Carter is giving me.
