* Ergonomically designed, comfortable cups
* Great for those with arthritis, carpal tunnel, shaky hands, etc.
* Versatile enough for hot beverages, cold beverages, even soups and oatmeal
These mugs are scientifically designed for hours of comfortable holding and sipping. Because why should the holders of the most comforting, soothing and also productivity enhancing hot beverages be uncomfortable, irritating finger traps?
These ergonomic mugs prove that form and function can definitely coexist in the world of cups. Grab them for the office, road trip or for the home. Many of these are designed to help sufferers of arthritis, carpal tunnel and joint pain too, making their morning cup of coffee (or late night cocoa) easy, comfortable and painless.
1. Jamber Coffee Mugs
These handsome coffee mugs are two-tone and “bio engineered,” for hours of comfort. They feature cool, full-length handles and a chic, contemporary design. A fun fact: the prototypes of these biomechanics-informed mugs were made and tested using 3-D printing. Made in the USA, these industrial-grade ceramic mugs are dishwasher and microwave-safe, and promise to relieve hand pain and strain.
We tested these out in the SPY office and like how they don’t require a lot of work (or a heavy grip) to lift up. And our hands fit comfortably between the handle and mug – no need to force our fingers through a tiny opening. BONUS: SPY readers can get 10% off their Jamber mug using the promo code SPY10.
