I'm on the hunt for a back up mug. Can anyone tell me if the 10oz BMS European mugs are manufactured in India or Thailand? Do they require the base to be pre-heated when doing a full top to bottom print?

Don't know where they are made but I pre-heat them! I've not long started pressing and just had a customer say it cracked tonight after about 100 cups of tea. So not happy at the moment but I know these things happen!

I would expect it to crack with the first cuppa if it was flawed. After a 100 it's probably had a wack somewhere.
I dug out something a while back, and listed life expectancy of a mug as 50 uses.

Thanks for that Janners I don't feel as bad now!

WOW only 50 mine must be really good then, it has had over 200 cups of coffee so far and still going strong!

My thoughts exactly, I have a mug which is used most days and is now 35 years old! Not sure how they worked it out.

RN are made in Thailand.

This mug type is manufactured in Thailand.

50 uses!

The Duraglaze mugs are obviously over-engineered if they have been tested through 2000 dishwasher cycles.

I have mugs going strong that have been used over 2000 times. At my prices my customers would not be very happy if I gave them a life of just 50 uses.

We use those and don't pre-heat.
