Half Pint MugChug! Chug! Chug!

| We all enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee. The thing is, unless we're visiting elderly relatives, not many of us actually use cups anymore. That's because the mug has become the accepted vessel of choice for fans of hot drinks everywhere. And what a selection there is out there: cartoon mugs, rude mugs, funny mugs, musical mugs, color-changing mugs - the list is endless.
Indeed, here at Firebox HQ our kitchen cupboard is a veritable mugfest of weird and wonderful chinaware. And yet, despite the vast array, they all pale into insignificance when put next to the brilliantly innovative Half Pint Mug. 
This perfectly formed piece of glazed earthenware is shaped just like a pint glass, making it ideal for those of us who hanker after that 'down the local' vibe, all day, every day. Thankfully, although it's the same shape as a pint glass, the Half Pint Mug doesn't actually hold a pint. (Tea and coffee aren't really beverages that lend themselves to humungous containers). An ingenious twin-wall design means that (in an alternate dimension kind of way) the mug holds less than it appears to, nearly half a pint. This mug-within-a-mug system helps insulate your drink, thus keeping it warm, Thermos-style. It also means you can hold the mug without burning your mitts. Clever, eh?
Sipping from the Half Pint Mug is strangely satisfying because you feel as if you're down the pub, yet there you stand (well, you can't sit down with a pint in your hand, can you?) drinking tea or coffee. It's a peculiar but highly entertaining paradox that invariably causes the drinker to let out a post pint-style 'ahhhh.' 
We think the Half Pint Mug is ideal for that much needed morning-after-the-night-before cup of Joe, as it feels reassuringly familiar in a shaky hand. What's more, it's a great surprise gift for colleagues who like a drink or twenty every other night. Just wait until he/she is particularly hung over and hand 'em a 'pint' of special brew (i.e. Earl Grey). Cheers!

A great little buy and I admit it, I did let out the post-pint 'aahh' with my first mug of tea. | |||||||||||||
I love this mug, work mates all want it! Must hide it or they will steal it! just burnt my tongue because I'm so eager to use it, forgot to let the fruit tea cool a little. Now I must order a set for my brother! | |||||||||||||
I got this last year for christmas after dropping a massive hint for it. It just looks so cool! Firebox please get them to make a pint sized one for the tea bellies out there!!!. I'll just keep going for refills in this one for now :D. | |||||||||||||

Great mug, only one disappointment.....
Its not the size of a pint glass... its inbetween a pint glass and a half pint glass... | |||||||||||||
There's no question, this mug is genius. The main factor here is, it's comfortable to hold!
Not one to buy if you enjoy holding a warm mug though. But you just can't beat the fact you're not cramming your fingers into a handle to pick it up! | |||||||||||||
Great mug, doesn't hold quite as much as a regular mug, but good quality product. I placed my order at 16:00 on a Weds, it was in my hand at 09:00 Thurs - how's that for speedy delivery!! | |||||||||||||
