Frequently asked questions
How does the hidden message actually work?
It's a heat-reveal design — the message appears once hot liquid is poured in.
Is it dishwasher/microwave safe like a normal mug?
It's a standard ceramic mug, so normal mug care applies, though hand-washing is safest for the heat-reveal coating.
