Imperial Guard Coffee Cups

Drink in Intergalactic Style with the Star Wars Stormtrooper Travel Mug

— October 11, 2011 — Eco
Start off the morning with geeky satisfaction with the Star Wars Stormtrooper Travel Mug.

Etsy designer LennyMud designed the Star Wars Stormtrooper Travel Mug for the sci-fi fanatics who just can't get enough. The front of the accessory features an outline of the Imperial Guards as the focal design. The item is fully customized and is constructed from a double-walled porcelain tumbler with a silicon lid to top it off. This will insulate the beverage so that hot liquids stay hot and cold liquids stay cold. The Stormtrooper Travel Mug is also dishwasher and microwave-friendly.

The Star Wars Stormtrooper Travel Mug is an eco-friendly alternative to the paper cups often used from coffee shops. Besides, who wouldn't want the face of a Stormtrooper on their mug?
