Although our prehistoric ancestors weren't drinking coffee as we do today, the Caveman Morning Coffee Mug identifies the kind of vessel they might consume it out of had they done so.
The mug is crafted from solid serpentine rock and clay, which makes the mug inherently strong, but also look somewhat crude in design. This results in a rough appearance and texture, but also helps to give it an artistic finish that's truly one-of-a-kind.
The Caveman Morning Coffee Mug is capable of being placed in the microwave and the dishwasher for warming and cleaning purposes. The porous nature of the rock mug allows coffee flavor to remain without the mug after use, which allows it to become even better with continued usage.
