Heat-Activated Mugs

The Morning Coffee Mug Uses Heat to Wake up with You

— August 20, 2013 — Art & Design
If you need a better way to wake up in the morning, this Morning Coffee Mug helps put a smile on the face of coffee drinkers. Activated by heat, the Morning Mug's adorable sleepy face wakes up with you as you fill it with coffee.

An ingeniously clever design, the Morning mug uses heat-activating technology to wake up alongside the coffee drinker. When the Morning Mug is cold, it features a black design with closed eyes and a sleepy face. As the user pours in hot water, tea or coffee, the face slowly begins to wake up. As the bottom of the cup fills, the cup slowly changes from black to white and a pair of pink lips and wide eyes show up on the side of the mug. Now you'll always have someone waking up alongside you as you drink your morning brew.
