Let's make it as good as possible!
A Better Grip
It uses leverage instead of relying on pinching the handle or twisting your wrist.
The result is an easier grip that:
1) Doesn't slip
2) Prevents burned knuckles
3) Avoids pain points

This, and the previous version, have been my daily drivers for a year or two now. By far and away my favorite mugs due to the design. This version of the mug improves every single (small) issue I have had with any other version. The Momnt team does a fantastic job.
I am a huge fan of the Momnt Mug! The innovative handle makes this my favorite mug in the cabinet. I ordered several of these for my clients and the response was been 100% positive. Highly recommend this outstanding product.
I know the handle on this mug is controversial, but I can never go back to a normal mug. It’s comfortable, unique, and both functional and aesthetic. The new design feels more solid and sleek at the same time.
This is the perfect gift for someone who appreciates intentionality in design!
The innovations from the original are welcome. Now I have two favorites!
I have a progressive neurological condition which makes gripping heavy(ish) things challenging for me, so I searched for a tea mug with some sort of ergonomic grip. (I don't know what kind of sadists designed the "standard" coffee/tea mug handle, but it's not comfortable at all for me, especially when I have to carry my mug of hot tea from the kitchen to my home office.)
I can't recall how I stumbled upon the original Momnt Mug, but I took a chance and ordered a set of four and the difference between them and the mugs I'd been using was night and day.
I was thrilled to learn that a new version was coming which intended to address the small issues with the original version, so I pre-ordered as soon as I could.
They arrived a week or two ago and I love them. I can't comment on the lid (since I prefer my tea warm), but everything about them is fantastic.
If there's someone in your life who struggles with grip or holding a mug (or it's you!), I would encourage you to give it a try since it really could improve their life.
I would like to scream it from a mountain top, but only hikers would hear me and that's not really an advertisement. If you are reading this you are already thinking about buy, in the immortal word of shia labeouf just do it
I love it! It’s a bit heavier than I was imagining, but not problematically so, and only because I have weak baby noodle fingers (which is why I wanted this in the first place!) My default grip was also apparently at a bit of an angle, but with a very slight adjustment it’s really comfortable! Absolutely my go-to whenever I need a full-sized mug now. <3
I'm currently reading "The Beauty of Everyday Things" by Soetsu Yanagi, in which he urges society to appreciate the simple beauty of "mingei," or "folk crafts." In one section, Yanagi describes these "mingei" like this: "Since these utilitarian objects have a commonplace task to perform, they are dressed, so to speak, in modest wear and lead quiet lives. In them, one can almost feel a sense of satisfaction as they greet each day with a smile. They work thoughtlessly and unselfishly, carrying out effortlessly and inconspicuously whatever duty comes their way."
To me, this is the highest praise I can give my Momnt mug: it is a "mingei" in my life. Its simple beauty is only enhanced by its lack of ostentation and its durability in the face of daily use. My original Momnt mug still hangs on my wall and sees regular use because it has stood the test of time, and my new mug is no less than its equal.
I don't know what I'll be doing in five or ten years, but I think I will still have my Momnt mug, just as it is now, performing its daily duty quietly and inconspicuously.
Thank you for all your hard work.

I have always held my mugs with two fingers on the bottom of the handle. I thought this would be nice but I didn’t realize how much more comfortable it actually made holding it!
Allows me to enjoy the perfect cup of coffee every time. I love the capacity (allows for coffee and mixing in my collagen supplements) and the convenience of making a hot cup and running off to my first meeting without burning my hand! Highly recommend. I own two and have gifted a half dozen!
I love how the handle supports the weight of the mug. I've had problems with grip strength for years. Using this mug has helped reduce pain and irritation in my hand, wrist, and arm.
"It feels weightless and effortless"
-
Slipped Grips
They rely on pinching the handle to keep it from slipping and tilting down.
-
Burned Knuckles
If your mug tilts too much, then your knuckles can touch the hot mug.
-
Pain Points
Thin handles put more pressure on your fingers with certain grips.
Ergonomics
It's not rocket science. We just designed the handle around your hand. As one customer told us, "it fits like a glove."
Never Slips
Better leverage lets you keep the mug upright without pinching the handle or twisting your wrist.
You can even hold it with two fingers like this and have complete control.
Heat-Free Hold
Because your grip won't slip, the mug doesn't tilt forward, preventing burned knuckles.
No Pain Points
A wider, contoured handles means you feel less pressure. This is especially noticeable for people with 2 or 3-finger grips who place their ring or pinky finger on the outside of the handle.
No More Crammed Fingers
Each finger has a place, so you won't have to cram fingers into a small handle anymore.
Plastic-Free
Every Momnt Mug is individually-packaged for safer shipping and easy gifting.

Meet the Owner
Welcome!
Back in 2020 during COVID lockdowns, it dawned on me that all the mugs in our home were not great with my grip. I either had to cram my fingers into tiny handles or pinch them to keep the mug from tipping forward. The question was, could you redesign the handle so it gives you a better, easier grip?
After 3D printing dozens of designs, we realized the Momnt Mugs shape was the easiest and most comfortable to hold. It's a simple tweak that gives you better leverage instead of relying on pinching an awkward handle or twisting your wrist, and the result is a comfy grip that doesn't slip. And the best part has been hearing from so many people that this mug has helped more than I ever imagined, including many with arthritis, shaky grips, and/or limb difference.
I'm an engineer at heart, not a marketer. We're also not huge like YETI or Stanley, and I respond to every inquiry personally. So if you have questions about whether Momnt Mugs is a good fit for you or if you have feedback (good or bad), I'd love to connect.
Cheers!
Mike

We Didn't Reinvent the Wheel
We're certainly not the first ones to come up with a counterbalance handle like this.
But we did make it more comfortable!
