Coffee Makes ME Twerk - Funny Mug

This is a small (11 oz) white glazed ceramic mug. It is a straight-sided coffee/tea mug that is about 4 inches tall and approximately 3 inches in diameter. This is one of those standard straight-sided type of blank mugs commonly used for for imprinting custom logos and messages. It has no manufacturing label so I don't know where the mug was made. It was sold by Neurons Not Included and was shipped from their sister shop, the Yellow Bug Boutique in Allen, Texas. It has a nice gloss finish without any significant imperfections such as pits or cracks. The logo/message appears to be printed on under the glaze or was printed on the mug finish and then covered with a second glaze. The outside glaze is smooth with no blemishes and the imprinting is clear with no smudging. The logo and message are printed on only one side of the mug; the other side is blank. It is a right-handed mug in the sense that if you hold it in your right hand the message shows outward and can be read by someone in front of you. The advertising copy states that the mug contains no lead and is dishwasher and microwave safe. I washed it in the dishwasher and heated water in it in the microwave with no problems. The mug handle and lip were fairly cool after being removed from the microwave which indicated the ceramic was well fired and has a low moisture content. Being a small mug, the material is not very thick and is probably more fragile than, say, a heavier stoneware mug.Ok, I'm giving this mug five stars, it is a nice little mug, but I did have some personal quibbles with it. With shipping, it is a bit pricey for a small ceramic mug. I guess if you want your mug to have a "customized" geeky reference on it, you have to make some compromises...and pay the price. It is really smaller than I like...18 to 20 ounces is more my style. Accordingly, you can only put three fingers through the handle. It is comfortable to hold, but I like to put my whole hand through the handle. Also, my first cup of tea left a faint stain ring on the inside of the mug. Normally, this occurs only after many uses. If the glaze really starts to turn color, I will update my review and take away some stars. Anyway, I really like the grumpy looking Tux, the Linux Penguin...reminds me of me. Although, now that I think about it, I am not really sure what the message, "Linux is user friendly. It's just very picky about who its friends are." is implying.

This was a Christmas gift for my brother. I loved watching his eyes light up as he read the script. He then looked at me and said, "Finally, someone understands!" This mug seems fairly sturdy, and is a solid gift choice for the Linux user in your family.

What do you get an Anti-Windows computer building, coding geek? Why a Tux mug to go with her Tux tees and Tux stuffys, of course! Big hit with my Linux Mint Girl!

My husband loved this, not sure if it was supposed to go in the dishwasher but it has been through a few cycles and still looks good.

Bought this coffee mug as a gift for my husband and he loves it. This is a great complement for the office. Good quality and capacity.
