Now HERES an idea !

[Jaws]

How many times have you put your coffee/tea whatever on a coaster, and a couple of minutes later you pick the mug up and the coaster is stuck to it ?

That coaster is wide enough to give considerably more stability to said mug, and it also stops any rings appearing on a surface even after you have slurped and put the mug down again..

A mug with a coaster 'built in' would be a boon in a motorhome !

 

[mjltigger]

Except when you make your coffee on the wet sink drainer then move it to the table or the dashboard.. Instead of a small ring you end up with a whole square mark from the built in and now wet coaster

On my way to the patent office as we speak!!!

I'll cut you a deal if you fancy making them!!!!

 

[Jaws]

Ok.. what about a small magnet in the bottom of the mug.. that way you can attach the 'coaster' as and when !

Will have to redesign the dishwasher!

I don't think the BH would go for that idea. It would make packing the crockery away even more of a problem

 

[Jaws]

See above re detachable version

 

[jonandshell]

OK then, you can have the patent back if you vote on my photo!

I'm out.

 

[Jaws]

It seems I have been beaten to it anyway.. not quite the same but actually a far better idea all round anyway !

How about making Teflon coasters?

 

[scotjimland]

Talk about reinventing the wheel..

it's called a saucer..

 

[sdc77]

We have a magnetic Teflon coaster for a small saucepan or tea pot.. Works OK tbh

And a saucer sticks to your mug ?
None of ours do..

Problem is, if you've dribbled a bit onto the coaster when you lift the mug off it, the 'dribble' stays behind but if the coaster is then attached to the mug you'll get dribbled on!

... and I bet that's a b*gger to clean!!!

 

[Jaws]

Ahhh.. this does not happen unless it is a REALLY big dribble..
The heat from the mug dries out small dribbles very quickly !

re bugger to clean.. I believe the bottom just twists off mate

I only read this post because I miss read it "as Herpes" now here,s an idea.
Bit disappointed it was about coasters.

Wellllll. what if your coaster gets herpes ?

 

[scotjimland]

.. I thought your problem was coasters that stick to mugs .. and the dribbles go down your shirt ...

the solution is a saucer.. and why would you want a saucer that sticks to a mug.. ? Defeats the purpose..

But a saucer is something separate .. You have to move it around.. its an extra...
Something attached to a mug you can forget about as it moves with the mug

We dont use coasters for that reason. But my wifes scarfe has got Hermes.

yes, but can you slurp from it ?

 

[Jaws]

Ahhh.. now that is a very valid point ! perhaps it could be sold with an optional slurping dish ?

nahhhh a saucer is used in conjunction with a cup or a mug.. a SLURPING dish is specifically for use with a sticking coaster assembly

Why not just get a bib and have done with it, after all at your age the slurping and infirmatey is only going to get worse.

 

[Wyaye wires]

Absolutely no use for anyone on here then, a Dripless mug!!!

 

[Minxy]

Originally you did NOT drink from a cup, instead you tipped some of the contents into the saucer and drank from that ... this is TRUE afaik!!!!

... it may do but even cleaning a cup that's had tea in it which has dried on is a b*gger to clean, so a screw thread mug base with dried on tea would be even worse ... do you wash up much in your house????
