These multifunctional mugs make the most of morning brew by offering an additional bonus to a caffeine fix.
From candles to self-stirring cups, innovation in the cup world is at its full peak, and nothing seems to be off limits. Because the mug and teacup are such ubiquitous items, it's not surprising that they'd be integrated into a variety of awesome creations. From more classic looking utilitarian sippers to some that come across as completely bizarre, multifunctional mugs are hard to classify, and are available in a wide range of styles.
Sure to remain a kitchen mainstay for years, the mug is a much-loved and frequently reinvented piece of tableware. Add in an extra feature of functionality, and these sippers become all the more lovable.
