This is true Tom, and for that reason I just warm my coffee that is already hot from being brewed. I never get the plastic extremely hot. You should also worry about this when you eat at a restaurant where your food is being heated and warmed in plastic containers placed in a microwave. When you eat food at most any restaurant, fast food or otherwise, the food is made at a factory then flash frozen, placed in plastic bags, and transported to a restaurant where it is rethermalized. Taco Bell does not cook their taco meat at their restaurants. It is cooked at some other place and rethermalized (warmed up by being boiled in a boiling bag) then served as if it was cooked there. Your exposure to Plastic is probably much greater when eating out than at home. Warming my coffee in the microwave is probably one zillionth of my exposure to heated plastic. You and I will probably get more exposure to harmful plastic from breathing the fumes emitted from our new Titans. http://resourcesnews.tripod.com/dec-4.html

Another thing to worry about: radioactive cookware and utensils. A lot of the metal cookware and eating utensils that are sold in this country are imported. A few years ago it was discovered that some of these items are made from recycled steel that is radioactive. So, that stainless steel mug that you drink that cup of java from in the morning might be worse than plastic but you won't even be aware of it because our government seldom checks consumer products to see if they are radioactive.

Well, I seem to be having some problems with my Nissan coffee mug. It has rattles and squeaks all over the place, it clunks when I set it down, and it gets horrible coffee mileage.

You haven't seen the discussion on the other thread about the TSB issued concerning the mug?

He He....my mug is perfect after 4 years. Hey Bayou Titan....I also have 2 full sets of polycarbonite non-silverware.....no metal taste or feel in your mouth is much better.gotta try it to experience it. I rearely use a microwave..the NISSAN thermos will hold hot liquid for many many hours.up to 6-8...If you drop it it won't break.just dent maybe. Igotatitan.that was funny by the way!!!lol

Personally I think that the cups are great, I have two of them. The problem that I have is the cup holders in the Titan. I Have the CC and the cup holders in the back have rubber edges to keep the cups in place. Why did they not do the same things in the front cup holders. I will say that is one thing that my Dodge had over the Titan. THe cup holders would hold anything, and hold it well. The Titan, the cups slide and tip it drives me nuts.
