This months treat from the VW shop

2 new enamel mugs.
Shop is moving to bigger premises so I'll get more information next trip out.

Funnily enough, we've had two cups fail on us in the Cali this year spilling hot liquid everywhere.

One was a porcelain type (? not an expert) with a picture of a split screen (which became a split cup). It was really cold at the time so it was still freezing when we took it out of the cupboard when we poured the hot water into it (the cup, not the cupboard ...).

The other was a melamine one which just split from top to bottom on me last Saturday . Maybe it's my driving

So an enamel one would be more durable, but don't the contents go cold quickly?

No you just pre heat them with boiling water to take the chill out. Then they are like any other mug. Only they bounce and rarely break.

I always pre hear the mugs when camping though just a quick swill round with hot water makes a big difference.

All wrapped up in the nice box too.
