I wash the cups everytime I make a round of tea. Just hot water and a quick wipe with a scourer to get the stains off. Others in my office dont, bit annoying :/

How well do they actually work as a mug? I've found some travel mugs can make Tea tasty nasty...

Also, how well to they keep your drink warm?

EDIT: They do Nikon ones also, I want this one:

wait till the cups get really dirty, throw them away, buy new cups, job done.

At work my boss is half tempted to throw all the plates, cups, bowls and cutlery in the skip due to people not washing up after themselves after repeated warnings. If they are washed then they were left to sit and dry on the side till the next day.

We put a sign in the kitchen asking people to wash, dry and put away anything they use. The sign lasted a week before someone took it down.

I do work with some lazy people

My coffee always tasted better when I use my own and the same mug every day.

lol, we have people bringing in their own dishes and then just leaving them dirty on the side board. Plenty of emails were sent but after weeks of it the managers put their foot down and binned the dishes.

Are you one of those people?

No, our cleaners take our cups from our desks at the end of the day and put them in the dishwasher. I come in in the morning to a nice clean cup!

In my office everyone uses their own cup and keeps it in their desk drawers overnight. No worries.

When I worked at ASOS, someone had a mug that had a removable plunger that you would stick into the side. Was completely useless without it!

I end up emailing everyone in the group telling them that their unwashed cups will be visited by Clive.
Here is Clive

It means no one else could use it without having the plunger, which I assume you carry around on your keyring.

Don't think I could drink from this. I'm having flashbacks of the heart plugs in Dune. The sleeper must awaken!

Just make sure you take it off the keyring before lifting the mug! :eek:
