FAQs
How does the heat change effect work?
The mug features a special thermochromic coating. When a hot liquid is poured in, the coating's properties change, revealing the hidden astrology wheel design. As the liquid cools, the original black surface reappears.
What is the capacity of the mug?
The mug has a generous capacity of 500ml.
Can I put this mug in the microwave?
No, this mug is not microwave-safe. Doing so can damage the heat-change design and is a safety hazard.
Is the mug dishwasher safe?
Yes, the mug is dishwasher safe. However, for optimal preservation of the heat-change design, hand washing is recommended.
What material is the mug made of?
The mug is made of durable ceramic.
What happens when the drink cools down?
As the beverage cools, the heat-change effect reverses, and the mug returns to its original black appearance.
What kind of drinks can I use with this mug?
You can use any hot beverages, such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or soup.
Troubleshooting
Heat-change effect not appearing
Ensure the beverage poured into the mug is sufficiently hot. The effect is triggered by temperature change. Allow the mug to cool completely and try again with a very hot liquid.
Design appears faded or damaged
The mug may have been exposed to excessive heat, such as repeated microwave use or very high dishwasher cycles. Hand washing and avoiding microwaves are recommended for preservation.
Mug feels unusually hot to touch
This is normal when filled with very hot liquids. Use caution when handling immediately after pouring. Allow it to cool slightly before drinking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This mug requires no setup; simply use it as you would any other mug.
Compatibility: Suitable for all hot beverages, including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and mulled drinks. It is compatible with dishwasher cleaning.
Care: To maintain the longevity and vibrancy of the heat-change design, it is recommended to hand wash the mug with mild soap and warm water.

Crucially, this mug is not microwave-safe. Do not place it in a microwave, as this can damage the design and pose a safety risk.
