Even full armor stands down for a refill.

This space mug carries Coffee Break Trooper, a RaZits picture of a helmeted space soldier in heavy armor who has stopped everything for a hot cup. It belongs with sci-fi game fans and with anyone whose shift only truly starts after the first pour, and it lands well as a gift for the coworker who guards the coffee machine.

The design: armor on, visor down, cup in hand

One soldier faces you from the waist up, rendered in a smooth 3D style like a character from a sci-fi shooter. The armor is bulky and silver-grey, with a cool blue cast in the shadows and warm light catching the right side: large rounded shoulder plates, ribbed dark joints at the neck and arms, a chest plate marked with small bolts and panel lines, and a segmented plate down the stomach.

The rounded helmet shows no face. One wide dark visor runs across the eyes, and on it, in small white squared capitals like a status readout, are the words COFFEE BREAK. Below the visor sits a chin piece with two small round brass-colored caps. Both chunky armored gloves hold a cream-and-brown mug at chest height, coffee-colored drips running down from its rim, while a thin curl of white steam rises in front of the helmet.

There is no scenery behind the figure, only the mug's own dark surface, so the soldier seems to step out of the shadows. The humor is in the contrast: all that plating, and the order of the moment is a hot drink.

A space mug made for the daily refill run

• The soldier is printed on each side of the mug, so the visor faces out whichever hand holds the handle; the band between the two prints is left bare
• A glossy ceramic surface, dark enough that the pale armor stands forward
• A sturdy cupboard regular for morning coffee or afternoon tea
• The ceramic is lead- and BPA-free for everyday use
• Safe in the microwave and in the dishwasher, so reheats and cleanup take no extra thought

Who it's for

Sci-fi game fans, shooter players, night-shift crews, help-desk heroes and anyone who answers questions only after the cup is half empty. It sits naturally beside a gaming keyboard, on a break-room shelf or at a home-office desk. Good moments to give one: a sci-fi fan's birthday, an office gift exchange, a new-job send-off or a small thanks for the teammate who covers your breaks.

Quick answers

Is it a gaming mug or a coffee mug?

Both, in spirit. The figure has the look of a sci-fi shooter character, while the cup in its gloves and the two words on the visor make it a coffee joke the whole office will get.

Is there a face behind the visor?

The visor is dark glass, so you never see who is inside. That is part of the fun: the soldier can stand in for you, your team lead or the coworker who is unreachable until the cup is empty.

Does the picture change between the two sizes?

Both sizes carry the same soldier and the same two words. The only decision is how much you like to pour in one go.

Would it suit a workplace gift?

Yes. The soldier holds a cup and the only words are COFFEE BREAK, so it fits a shared kitchen, a desk or a gift exchange with people you are still getting to know.
