John B Java Stainless Steel Travel Mug

You did not grind good coffee to drink it cold in traffic.

Small-batch specialty roast, brewed properly at home, then poured into something that lets it die on the way to work. It is a small tragedy and it happens to most people every morning.

Stainless steel, fifteen ounces, tapered to drop into a cup holder, and insulated well enough to keep drinks at the right temperature for hours on the go. An irreplaceable item for a busy everyday life — and the mug that finally justifies buying the good beans.

The mug.

Sublimation, not a sticker.

The artwork is sublimated into the surface coating rather than printed on top of it, which is why it does not peel at the edges or fade to grey after a month in the cupboard. Hand washing still gives the longest life — dishwasher detergent is abrasive, and heat cycles are hard on any printed drinkware.

Twelve years of late nights.

Since 2014, John B. Wells has put out more than 2,800 episodes of Caravan to Midnight and over 500 Saturday nights of Ark Midnight — reaching millions of listeners across terrestrial radio, digital satellite, live stream and podcast.

Everything in this store exists for the people who made that possible. Buying it puts something in your hand; it also keeps the microphone on.

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
