Mimuno Mug Review

I had the chance to review a mug by Mimuno. If you are looking for a stylish mug that won’t allow your hands to get burned while drinking your favorite hot beverage and won’t make a condensation ring on your furniture, then this is the mug for you.
Let’s learn a little about Mimuno first:
Mimuno makes insulated hand blown glassware that is focused on providing smart, beautiful, and modern glassware for you and your home. According to their about page, they believe that an effort to live more aesthetic lives should not be a compromise with functionality. That style and utility are not meant to be mutually exclusive. They are committed to improving your life through innovative products that will be an asset to your home.
Mimuno says their glasses will help with:
- No more burnt hands
- Keep your beverages at the right temperature
- No more rings on your furniture
Of course I am someone who likes to test those things out so let’s start with the first thing. No more burnt hands…
This is the perfect time of year for apple cider and hot coco. Two of my families favorite things to have during the fall and winter seasons. I decided to warm some apple cider in my Mimuno mug for me and in a regular mug for my husband. I heated both mugs one at a time but the same amount of time in our microwave. I grabbed my Mimuno mug by the handle then put my hands around the body of the mug. It was just barley warm to the touch. I then took a sip and my cider was hot. I then had my husband feel it. I think he was impressed like I was. Then it was time for the regular mug. I heated it the same time. Grabbed it out by the handle and then put my hands around the mug and it was very hot to touch. So the Mimuno mug is a big plus in not burning your hands.
Next let’s explore keeping the beverage at the right temperature. I heated the cider in the Mimuno mug one time and the cider was a great temperature to drink.  I had to reheat the cider in my husband’s mug even though the mug was hot, the cider was not.  My husband needed to let his cup cool down so he could hold it. I decided to drink a little of my cider but leave the rest sitting. When I went back after about 5 minutes I noticed my husband’s cider was cooler and so was the mug. The Mimuno mug however kept my cider almost the same temperature as it was when I first started.  After a little more time my husband’s cider was pretty cool and in the Mimuno mug it was still warm. Insulated glass is the way to go!
Now for saving what I think is one of the best things for last. No rings on furniture. I know we all hate when someone forgets and puts a cup on a table and leaves it. I know I am guilty of doing it.  So what is the best way to find out if something leaves a ring or not? Leave it on the table right? Yeah I did it, but I put it on a piece of construction paper so you could really see the results of the “experiment.â€Â As you can see in the pictures below the regular glass left a huge mark on the paper. The Mimuno mug had a little spot there. If you look in the glass you can also see that the regular glass has almost no ice left. The Mimuno mug still had ice. This is another way you can tell that the Mimuno mug is well insulated.
So if you are looking for a mug or glass that doesn’t leave huge rings on your furniture, keeps your beverage at the right temperature and is stylish then I suggest you give Mimuno a look. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
The Mimuno mugs like I got to review can be found here for $12 each. Buy 2 for $11 each or 4 for $10 each.
Mimuno also has tumblers and pilsners for $14 each. Buy 2 for $13 each or 4 for $12 each. The Mimuno tumblers can be found here. The Mimuno pilsners can be found here.
*Note I did receive a complimentary Mimuno mug for review purposes. However I was not paid for my review. This is my honest opinion of the product.

Ohhh I love that mug!! And hardly a ring is a big plus!
What an incredibly adorable mug!
And I can’t tell you how great that little condensation ring would do wonders for my bookshelves where I place all my cups, drinks, and bottles while in bed
