Matt finish

Love the design. The finish was not slick and could easily get grungy. Thin- so it's a bit hot.

One Broke
by Elfbrick (3 out of 5 stars)

I bought one of these for my husband over a year ago. That one had a little wear and tear after a few months (the E started to rub away) but otherwise held up fine. I recently bought him a second one because he loved the first one so much. Within two uses it had cracked clean through - straight down the middle of the cup. I never put it in the dishwasher and always hand washed it. For the price one broken mug doesn't matter, but if you're considering this as a gift might want to take it into account.

Cheap Quality Mug with Cool Feature
by Jonathan Fouts (2 out of 5 stars)

***Update: I've owned this for a week now and already after maybe 5 gentle hand washes and 30 cups of coffee/tea there are lines forming on the inside of the mug. I'm not sure if they're cracks, or scratches, but I'm surprised since nothing except for my fingers has been on the inside of this mug. My recommendation would be to look for a better quality mug than this keeping in mind the features I mentioned below. At the same time for $8 I'm satisfied with what I received.***
*** Original Note from 2nd day using the mug below***

I like it, the fuel gauge works great and for coffee it'll do the job.

Things to note:

It's not as big, thick or heavy as I might of expected. If dropped on a hard surface it may break easy (only a few millimeters thick). It doesn't look like it holds much, but i measured and it can hold up to 10oz (thats filling it to the brim)

It's kind of boring aside from the fuel gauge. Having a different/darker color instead of white(grey, blue, etc), having writing or a logo on the other side of the mug, or having another fuel gauge on the other side of the mug, would make the mug much more appealing.

Additionally with the white color all around the inside and outside of the mug will show stains/stain easy.

My friend uses this ALL the time. It sits in her keurig ready to use every morning. When it gets hot the face really does change. Love it. Saw this for over $20 at a shop in Chicago-so much cheaper here.

this mug is pretty small. Its a really fun idea
by Nicci Stephenson (3 out of 5 stars)

Compared to most mugs you find in stores right now, this mug is pretty small. Its a really fun idea, the gauge worked well when a hot liquid was poured in. We made sure to hand wash every time it was used, but it took no time for the sticker to start peeling off. Once it began it wasn't long before we had a plain white mug.

Fun while it lasted and the mug construction was fine, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Fun Cups For a Coffee Lover
by R. Baker (4 out of 5 stars)

The Tank Up coffee mug is a fun gift and when filled with hot coffee it does indeed show how full the cup is while the coffee is hot.

I bought four and put one to the test and started using it.

DO NOT put it in the dishwasher!

I did not see a warning about this and learned the hard way that dishwashing will destroy the printing on the outside of the mug.

It's a fun gift.

Love it!

I got this one for my dad, and tested it out to make sure it works well. It needs HOT water, like coffee water, to work. Warm from the tap is not enough to activate it. But, it works great! Instantaneous color change from black to red, and gradually goes down as you drink it/ it cools. I dumped the hot water out and poured cold in, once again, instantaneous change back to black. A liiiitttle small, but the size is clearly advertised. Just wish this company sold a slightly larger mug, maybe a 10 oz. Love it either way!

No Quality Control
by SV (1 out of 5 stars)

This is a cute idea - heat sensitive indicators that change color indicating liquid level. Unfortunately, it appears that "Fred" is simply buying white mugs and stenciling the rest, i.e. the graphics is not fired and permanent. I got four mugs, and in all cases the graphics peeled off after a few washes. So I have four plain white mugs now. Even the manufacturer's logo on the bottom is gone, leaving no clue about the mug's beginnings.
