Mug Punter

[skyring]

I suspect when people see my coffee mug - especially if my artwork turns out ok - I'm going to be asked where d'y gettit?

Here, that's where. And doubtless there are any number of local suppliers in the Western world.

I am really pleased with this. The mesh of the plunger is fine enough that flavour passes but grains don't. It has a very smooth action. It holds a decent drink. it fits the hand well and it just plain looks good.

Perhaps best of all is that the plunger bit is unobtrusive so it looks like a normal mug if I'm drinking tea or instant coffee or juice out of it.

That is one spiffy looking mug. Good on you!

It's marvelous! (But now I must add mug envy to the list...) sigh.

Normally I drink out of Dunoon mugs, of which I have lots, mainly picked up from opshops. In fact, I'll often take one with me to an event if I suspect that I'll be given those foam plastic cups.

But this one is light and won't break, so it's ideal for travel.

What's a Dunoon mug? I'm a product of American public schools- remember?!

Dunoon mugs are made in the UK. This is their home site, but they have become a little too garish for my taste recently. http://www.dunoonmugs.co.uk

I collect the ones from ten or twenty years ago. eBay is a good source, though once you factor in postage, they come out a bit pricey.
