Coffee tastes better out of porcelain, but ceramic and a moving van usually don't mix. Silwy casts a magnet into the foot of each mug, so it locks onto its pad on the galley counter or a cupboard shelf and stops sliding and clinking down the road.
What's in the Box
- Two porcelain mugs with handles, 270 ml (about 9 oz) each and 3.9" tall.
- Two black metal nano-gel pads.
- Three looks: plain white, a Camping print with a little van-and-trees scene, or Wanderlust (Silwy's "Travel Lust" print).
- Made in Germany.
How the Magnet Works
Silwy casts a magnet into the base. On its own it would only grab bare steel, so each piece ships with a thin metal nano-gel pad: press the pad onto a counter, dash, table or shelf and the cup snaps down onto it. Silwy tunes the pull so it holds through corners and rough roads but still lets go when you lift to take a sip. The gel side grips smooth, sealed surfaces without glue, peels off clean, and goes back to full tack after a rinse in plain water, so you can move pads around the van as often as you like.
Porcelain pieces are made to stand upright: put a pad in the cupboard and they stay put without clinking.
Care
Silwy recommends washing by hand, using stainless or plastic utensils with them, and keeping them out of the oven and microwave because of the magnet.
Also in porcelain: Silwy espresso cups and a lidded to-go cup.
