The SMUG is a travel mug you can use to pay for purchases at your favorite coffee shop. The dishwasher-safe SMUG has a built-in computer chip. To pay for your drink, simply wave the SMUG past the cash register. You can load money onto your SMUG in-store and eventually online. Any SMUG purchased on our website can be used at any shop in the SMUGnetwork. We also offer SMUGgift, a custom-branded gift card travel mug to be used within a particular chain of stores.

Why?

As coffee lovers, we waste millions of paper cups each day. By combining the convenience of prepaid technology with a travel mug, we hope to contribute in a small way to reducing our burden on the environment.

The SMUG makes an awesome gift for coffee fanatics, as an employee "thank you" and to fuel caffeine-dependent students.

Where can I get one?

The SMUG is available in select coffee shops across the country. Stay connected through Facebook and Twitter for updates. Coffee shops interested in offering SMUG can learn more here.
