Startup company Making Modern has launched a minimalist design with MYMUG, essentially a mug that is made of a virtually unbreakable advanced composite.
Billed as "the last mug that you will ever need," it flaunts a sleek ceramic-like structure that incorporates notable features like an ergonomic grip with a “pinky groove” that provides comfortable control and an insulated lid to help keep contents hot or cold.
“Until now consumers haven’t realized the inconvenience of a common mug. The handle is bulky, it will burn your hand if put in the microwave too long, water pools when you put it in the dishwasher, it breaks, and is not ergonomic,” said Making Modern founder Jon McLaughlin. “We have taken your favorite coffee mug and given it an upgrade to truly bring it into the 21st century. We even offer a century guarantee, so that it can be your favorite mug for years to come.”
Materials used are 100 percent FDA-approved, which means it contains no chemicals like BPA or BPS that could harm you; the mug is also dishwasher and microwave-safe.
Proudly made in the USA, you can back MYMUG on Kickstarter now, as the 12-ounce model, out of the 4-, 8- and 16-ounce sizes offered, ships by Friday, December 15, right in time for the holidays.
