I recently began looking for a nice stainless travel coffee mug with the MINI logo on it and I realized they are quite rare. I did find a "mini" MINI travel mug through a couple of MINI accessory websites, however this particular mug only held 6 or 8 ounces which was not going to be enough for me. So, I checked ebay and found a seller who does custom engraving on stainless travel mugs and many other things. Anyways, I contacted the seller and sent him a picture of the MINI logo and a few days later this showed up in the mail:



It only cost me $21 with shipping and the seller was great to deal with. Here is an ebay link to the auction through which I purchased my mug:

I am very happy with this mug and love the way it looks so I thought I would let others know in case anyone is looking for a travel mug. BTW, it fits great in my 08MCS cup holder. Also, here is the link directly to the sellers website if you wanted to contact him that way: http://www.nwlaserdesign.com/

 

Very cool!! I like it alot!! thanks for sharing.

 

Wow, that is VERY nice!! I just contacted the seller and I'm going to get 2 of them, 1 for each front cupholder - w00t!!

 

I had to settle for 2 Starbucks Coffee Mugs, they were the only thing C@@L enough to go in MY Molly!! Now I may have to get ME 2 MORE!!

 

I just ordered two cups! One for me and one for a friend. I'm really excited! nice cups!

 

Yep, I ordered 2 cups also - one has the Mini logo with the wings and the other has the Cooper S logo - gonna look great sitting side by side in my console - w00t!!

Ohhhh, that is a good idea, I never thought about the Cooper S logo, I just may have to order another one! Please post a pic of it when you receive it, I would love to see it.

BTW, I was at my local MINI dealer yesterday and noticed that they sell what looks to be an identical travel mug to the one pictured above but with "BMW" etched instead of MINI, interesting...

 

I got my cup today. I love it! It has a stainless steel interior and it's well crafted!

I went with the mini wings, but I also had my car's name put on it.



Brian is a great guy to work with. I think that my next purchase will be one of his water bottles. They are also metal and in several colors!!

 

That's pretty funny, Bean is my cat's nickname. I wonder if he'd like one of those...

This car is really starting to get blinged-out...

 

Nice work. Will these stand up to the cupholder death grip?

 

Wow - very nice mugs!!

Perihelion wondered:
"Will these stand up to the cupholder death grip?"

Yes, absolutely. In fact, they are smaller in diameter than the cupholder, and pop in and out quite easily. Actually, I'd like for the cups to be a bit larger in diameter, they wobble a bit right now...

 

Oh I like your cups too!! Did you see the flyer Brian included in his shipment? It said that he can even do photographs! I am pondering doing a picture of my car... Maybe on a water bottle (he has great colors too!!!)

 

just saw this. thanks for the tip.

 

This is too cool! I have been looking for a good "MINI" coffee mug. The eBay link now reads

"This listing (110346218208) has been removed, or this item is not available."

Still, I'm off to the web site now. Thanks BMacUC!

 

Ditto on finding this older thread by chance. Also just contacted the website directly *fingers crossed* Hope these mugs have held up well for you guys

 

Hello! Could you please post the direct website address? I do not seem to have it...

Thanks,

-RW-

 

Here's the address to the company website, I would then email Brian for additional information.

What's the height on this cup? I'm worried it may not fit in the Countryman.

 

I just called the number on the website and got a "disconnected" recording.
