Review on ☕️ Coffee Mug for Philosophers: Mathematical Formulas Enhanced for Intellectual Stimulation by Kofi Wills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Also ideal for chemists and physicists!

I have received several compliments on my mug. As a chemist, I was surprised to find so many equations related to chemistry and physics. So not just for mathematicians! It's great for physicists and chemists. It's a funny shaped mug though. Short and wide. I think it holds 11 ounces (regular mugs hold 12 ounces? - so maybe a little less volume). The handle is also a bit strange. It's not very wide, so I only stick two of my (ladies') fingers inside, while I usually use three fingers on the handle of the mug, so some people might not feel comfortable holding it. I've had him for several months now. not a single chip now, so no complaints about the material, although I haven't tried knocking it on the sink yet. And for those who never clean their coffee mugs, the great thing about a black mug is that it doesn't show what you drank the previous day. And there are definitely a few professors with ugly brown and white mugs. UPDATE 14.08. About two years after I bought this mug, I dropped it on the floor and it broke. So I immediately bought a new one (not a white mug with brown spots for me) and it's a little different. The old mug had a clear glaze all over the mug, so it was glossy black. The one I just received doesn't have it, it's more of a matte grey/black which I think could be done to make it look more chalkboard like. Remarkably, the equations are now the top level of the circle. I only hand wash my mug since I just let it do the work, but after seeing this I was worried that the equations might wear out if you use the dishwasher (but I can't say for sure, since I never put them in the dishwasher). . ). It still has that fancy grip I mentioned at the beginning.

Pros
  • You get gems like Newton's second law, Planck's equation, Hubble's law, the Fourier transform and the mother of all equations, Einstein's general theory of relativity. The math mug is covered with such formulas, making it an excellent gift for any mathematician, physicist or math teacher. All in all it makes an amazing coffee mug. Holds 12 oz. dishwasher and microwave.
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
