So far this year I have killed a keyboard, a mouse, a Wacom Pen Tablet (*cries* that was an expensive death) and countless pieces of Very Important paperwork.
How?
Coffee.
I know, I admit it.
I. Am. Clumsy.
Having a mug of coffee on my desk is like an open invitation for a hot brown liquid lake to launch itself at the nearest Important Thing. If it’s connected to an electrical supply? So much the better.
So imagine my glee when I spied the Mighty Mug on the Firebox site. It claims to ‘harness Smart-Grip technology to latch on to your desk like a headstrong limpet’
That sounds like it might be just the thing, no?
Using a suction-cup type thingummy, it creates a powerful airlock which allows it to resist accidental knocks and nudges.
And I know what you’re thinking – the Secondary Spill will occur when you try and release it from the grip-of-limpet.
Not so! You just grab it by its soft ergonomic handle and it lifts up effortlessly.
It’s real actual magic.
(Or, y’know, modern science or something)
On top of the witchcraft, it also has a spill-proof lid and double-insulated walls to keep your coffee steaming hot, even when you’re busy engrossed in other people’s holiday pictures on facebook working hard.
