MyCuppa Mugs

"Gosh, perfect cha, Jackie"

Everyone likes a nice cup of tea or coffee. Here at Firebox HQ our caffeine-intake is staggering. But then it has to be because we're up all hours searching for cool products. The problem is, much as we love our hot drinks it's difficult getting brews just right when you're making them for friends and colleagues. Enter MyCuppa Tea/Coffee Mugs.

MyCuppa Mugs

Add milk to match the colour

These ingenious drinking vessels have got a series of coloured strips inside, a bit like those colour charts you see in paint shops. The idea is to ask what colour people prefer their tea and coffee and then match it to the selected strip by adding the right amount of milk. Clever, eh? And no more tar-like tea or insipid, dishwater-style coffee.

The colour strips range from Milky to Black with variations such as Dark & Strong and Builders' Brew in between. Just think, with a MyCuppa Mug you'll never mess up a friend's cuppa again - unless you do what we did the other day and chuck in two teaspoons of salt by mistake. Bleurgh!

Press Reviews...

press review "Mugs are a great way to cheer up your kitchen and get you something new for not much money and when you put a cup of tea inside them, then all's right with the world - well just so long as you don't put the news on anyway. And when you're making drinks for guests, the handy colour strip at the top lets you know how much milk to add. Choose either tea of coffee and let no one complain that your tea tastes like dishwater because it'll be their own fault if it does."
The Independent - The Information - Mar '09
press review "Don't leave getting your perfect brew from colleagues to chance."

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar Great product! It came very useful for my brother who always complains I make "Masawati" tea (really, really weak tea), so now I can make him the perfuct cuppa! Thanx Firebox!
Katie, Ipwsich - Feb '08
visitor avatar I think this is also a good idea and I agree with others that there are more than four shades/strengths of tea, but at least with the four shades you get a closer match than what you would with out them, but more shades would be nice please :D.
Kirsty, Suffolk, UK - Nov '07
visitor avatar Superb product! I bought one for my dad and he's very pleased with it!
Saruny, - Feb '08
visitor avatar Good idea but could maybe do with a time listed under each swatch colour noting how long to leave the teabag in for strength.
Richard, Southend - Dec '07
visitor avatar Definitely a brilliant idea! My Mum and I are always making cups of tea for each other and always getting it wrong, she invariably makes mine too weak, and I always leave the teabag in too long for her liking! But I agree there are most definitely more than 4 shades of tea colour! There's weak and watery, weak and milky, strong and milky, and strong without much milk-only the British would know that tea making is such a precise science! Ha ha!
Charlie, London - Nov '07
visitor avatar Only four shades - I have 3 different strengths of tea throughout the day myself, then there's my mum, my son, my husband... Wonderful idea but I need at least 10 shades before it starts to be of use. Since it isn't beautiful it doesn't meet the William Morris dictum of useful or beautiful. Let me know when it has been developed to my specifications.... 'Fussy of Brighton'.
