So, I saw this thing online – a coffee mug shaped like a barbell. As someone who’s trying to juggle staying fit and my caffeine addiction, I thought, “Why not?” Here’s how it went down.
First, I scoured the internet to find one. Not as easy as I thought it would be, honestly. Finally found a decent-looking one. It was a bit pricey, but hey, it’s a conversation starter, right? I ordered it, waited a few days (impatiently, I might add), and it finally arrived.
Unboxing and First Impressions
Ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. The mug was hefty, heavier than your average mug, obviously. It looked pretty cool, I gotta admit. Made of ceramic, shiny finish, and had these weight plate designs on each end. Felt sturdy, not like it would break if I accidentally knocked it over.
Putting It to the Test
Brewed my usual morning coffee, a strong black, nothing fancy. Poured it into the barbell mug. The handle was surprisingly comfortable, even though it looked a bit awkward. Took a sip. Coffee tasted the same, no magic gains there, unfortunately. But I did feel a bit more… motivated? Placebo effect, maybe?
- First challenge: Drinking without spilling. The shape does make it a bit tricky. Had a minor spill on my first try. Oops.
- Second challenge: Washing it. It’s not dishwasher safe, so had to hand wash it. Not a big deal, but a bit of a hassle.
The Verdict
Used it for a few weeks now. It’s become my go-to mug, not gonna lie. It’s fun, it’s different, and it makes me chuckle every time I use it. Has it improved my fitness? Not really. But it has made my coffee routine a bit more entertaining.
Would I recommend it? If you’re looking for a quirky, fun mug and don’t mind the extra weight, go for it. It’s a great conversation starter, and who knows, it might just motivate you to do a few curls while you’re at it. Just be careful not to spill your coffee, it’s a real pain to clean up. I learned that the hard way.
And that is the full story about my experience with barbell coffee mug.
