A Mug That Changes with the Drink

How the Colour Change Works

This mug starts out with a black, heat-sensitive coating over the printed design. As the mug is filled with a hot drink, the coating reacts to the heat and fades away, gradually revealing the full colour artwork underneath. It's a genuine novelty effect rather than a printed illustration of one.

Printing

Full colour printing is available, so photos, logos and multi-colour designs all work well once revealed, giving a strong reason for the recipient to keep using the mug rather than putting it straight in a cupboard.

Care

Unlike a standard ceramic mug, hand washing is recommended rather than the dishwasher, since the heat-sensitive coating is more delicate than a standard glaze and can wear with repeated dishwasher cycles.
