I have two of these mugs, one for me and one for the ogther half as they are so versatile and well designed, I bought them both in John Lewis in a sale and paid £8 for the pair which was about 25% off the normal retail price if my memory serves me right. There were lots of colours to choose from and we have a dark green one and a red one.

These are great when you are on your own and only want to make a single cup of filter coffee and not a whole cafetierre. These are extremely well designed with a small plunger to allow you to add the filter coffee directly to the mug, add the water and then after it has been left for a few minutes, the instructions suggest 3-4 minutes, then you insert the plunger and depress it smoothly. There is a mark to show the maxiumum amount of water to add and the instructions also recommend rinsing the cup before use with boiling water, I guess this is to add some heat to it initially but I often either can't be bothered or forget this task.

These are great to take when away camping, they are thermal designed so they keep the coffee warm and they are pretty robust as well as they are made from strong plastic and while camping this means you can have a quality cup of coffee in the morning rather than the instant rubbish.

They are nice and easy to clean although obviously you do need to be careful with the filter and plunger as this is the most vulnerable part of the cup. The lip of the plunger is the same colour as the body of the mug and it sits flush with the rim of the cup.

These are a simple design but a very smart one and I would certainly recommend them as a good purchase.
