In the morning, you get up, grumble, and shuffle to the coffeemaker to turn it on. You are forced to wait, rather impatiently mind you, as the brown ambrosia drips down at breathtakingly slow speeds. However, you find that once you have your morning fix of caffeine, you’re bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and all seems right with the world.

It seems only right that your mug should be following suit, which makes the Morning Mug an excellent early bird companion. This is a temperature sensitive mug that will quite literally “wake up” as you pour coffee into it. It starts off black, and looking like it’s asleep in the dark, but as the hot liquid goes into the cup, it changes to white and has a happy, awake face. For the rather extravagant price of $29, you and your Morning Mug can both greet the day with a smile. Well, that’s assuming you’ve both had enough coffee, that is.
