As you know, Bham Now loves local startups, so it’s exciting to note that Heiss Mug is the creation of Shannon Rearden, a 25-year-old Birmingham-based female engineer. It is also supported by innovative local businesses Builders + Backers and Heartland Forever.

According to a press release, it was Shannon’s passion for coffee and her engineering expertise that led to the creation of Heiss Mug.

Her vision for the product? “…to elevate coffee consumption experiences and make it accessible wherever life takes you.”

Where can you get a Heiss Mug?

Currently, the official release of the Heiss Mug is still in the works. But, with a recent Kickstarter campaign launch, the coffee mug of your dreams could be released for full production next year.

You can learn more about Heiss Mug via its Kickstarter Campaign and even back the project by making a pledge.
