on/off coffee mug
This simple, clever mug automatically indicates its current state of mind when you pour a hot beverage into it.
In its dormant state, the mug offers a black “OFF” display, but once your hot coffee or tea hits the inside, it gradually transforms to read “ON”. A heat sensitive pigment changes the color of the mug from black to white.
While it may be designed for coffee, the $25 mug is Charles & Marie’s “Soupe du Jour” offer of the day. So if you want one in time for the holidays, you better grab yours now.

Nice idea, but am I missing something. Should it not have displayed HOT and Cold…
It’s neither “just plain fun” or good design. Sad design, boring and $25 bucks!? I’ll pass.
Somebody must have peed in Sicko’s Wheaties today.
“indicates its current state of mind”
caffeine = ON
i am pro fun and i say two thumbs up.
is this for cofee only? how about other drink?
I quite like the idea and agree with Coqui that the cup should display HOT and COLD instead.
I also think that the price is a bit steep, if it was lower I may be tempted to get one of these.
they have ones that have hot/cold. and a few other designs.
Where can i buy this mug from?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Click the “Charles & Marie” link in the article. You can order one from them.
40 $ Shipping for a 25 $ mug … weird.
Where the heck are you trying to ship it to?
Dear Sir,
How can I order (on/off mug)?

As the article says, they are sold by Charles & Marie, so I’d check with them.
Hm.. daylight robbery. 15 Euro Cup ships for 15 Euro. And this the cheapest way to ship .. hee heee. Shipping from some distance galaxy?

Cool concept, but the pricing is a bit much for a coffee mug. I think i’ll use my hands to see if the mug is warm or not.
Is it true that Charles&Marie (the makers of this mug) use child labor to make their products?
