The Moscow Mule Copper Mug - Ready for an Upgrade
Our goal was to create the finest copper mug ever made. Period. 77 years without improvement was far too long for us!
Our initial idea was for a multi-metal design. Our research showed copper had been combined with brass, bronze, silver, stainless steel, and iron over the centuries. Copper and brass go together like peanut butter and jelly or baseball and beer. We then analyzed and poured over mug shapes for weeks on end. We researched ancient mugs and cups found all over the world. However, it was one discovery from the bottom of the sea that created the spark leading to the solid brass base. It serves multiple purposes, but 'knock out good looks' would have to be at the top of the list. We then focused on the lip and handle, with the handle itself absorbing 100's of hours or work.
Keep reading about everything we improved, we think you will find the results are more than worth it.
A handle, is a handle, right? Not to us
Brass and copper are closely related yet, brass is 348% less conductive keeping your handle comfy while the mug enjoys instant COLD!
A handle, is a handle, right? Not to us
The handle is the MOST functional part of the mug and it had to LOOK awesome, FEEL fantastic, and FUNCTION superbly. So we started drawing and forming, and re-drawing and re-forming.
After 45 drawings we then handmade 17 different mockups. This lead to 4 pre-production prototypes, leading to ONE AMAZING HANDLE.
Look at its perfectly proportioned lines, feel it in your hand, lift The Mug to your lips......AAAhhhhh, thats awesome! We think you will agree its the finest handle ever made.
100% Pure Copper Interior
With all the improvements we were steadfastly determined to keep your beverage cradled by Pure Copper. We have also made it tarnish resistant, meaning that by following the included care instructions, you can keep tarnish at bay longer than ever.
Solid Brass Base
This base looks simple, yet does so much!
First its solid and heavy acting like the keel on a sailboat, keeping The Mug from spilling the delicious beverage you have masterfully created. Second, brass is 550% more ding and scratch resistant than copper per the Rockwell Scale meaning its just a LOT more durable than copper and will wear much better. Third, brass is one of, if not THE BEST metals to engrave. The Mug delivers LOTs of engraving space! Just over 3.5 inches in diameter and the vertical edge has a nearly 12 inch circumference making this an amazingly customizable mug!
Spectacular From All Sides
What's my best side? They all are. Just the right style to convey a certain nobility, yet, not elaborate or ornate and so perfectly suited to use every day! Enjoy your next beverage in the finest copper mug ever made.....The Mug
