naim mug

Does anyone know if you can buy a naim mug anywhere

Not at the moment but a new re-vamped one is being launched on Thursday

They have traditionally been something available through Naim dealers or given away by Naim at events.  I'm not sure whether a new run has been made or whether there are any currently available. You could try asking Steve Hopkins at the Naim factory.

They do sometimes crop up as private sales on auction sites and classifieds too.  Judging from the last time I saw one at auction, the early ones seem to make pretty good money...

I have a Naim mug from a recent Factory tour. Tea (and coffee for that matter) taste much better when the Naim mug is used. It is such an upgrade on the the taste when using other (non-Naim) mugs.

What am I bid?

(Mr Moderator - this is a joke. Please do not censor me for attempting to flog stuff on here. I would never, ever part with my precious Naim mug)

I am prepared to accept that tea tastes inherently better from a Naim mug. But I'd like to know what might be added by using Naim-brand washing up liquid before use and then water boiled in a Naim kettle (powered by a powerline of course). Don't even start me on milk...

I thought you wrote 'no slacking' at first, which I thought was a bloody cheek as I've just washed up and am about to mow the lawn while it's sunny.

Is mug placement critical to 272's performance?

And are two mugs better than one mug?

My question is - why haven't I ever had a Naim mug? I'm deeply hurt and disillusioned.

Two are needed for stereo - I think

Does one require spiked coasters?

I am assuming that the mug on the left is connected in some way with the famous or infamous, depending on your point of view, "inky blackness"?

Mugs, if you please! The one on the right is the Statement mug, as near as I'll ever get to one.

Strikes me that the Statement must lack inky blackness then.

Tea does taste better from the Statement mug. The black one is too thick. I'd really like to see one in bone china though.

HH.

You might have hit on the use of the mysterious disc like object on the mysterious new Naim product.

 It’s a mug coaster.

Posted on: 04 October 2016 by hungryhalibut

That's just what I need! The 272 has a wine stain on the top that I thought I'd removed with a damp towel, but no.... Astonish is required. A pukka Naim coaster would have prevented such a mishap.
