The problem you have is that the coating has not been cured properly.

I have seen this a few times in my years and it can be sorted (not that you should have to). All you need to do is put the plain mug in an oven for 15-20 minutes to cure the polymer coating properly. Unfortunately there is no ...

Thought I'd revive this thread as I'm having this same issue with the 11oz Orca mugs from Xpres. Had 6 customers reporting their mugs fail now (albeit out of thousands) and all stock from Xpres.
