BOLT: the world's first dishwasher safe heated mug
Dishwasher safe heated mug review
Hi there! We're BOLT.
We created the world’s first modular heated mug designed to go in the dishwasher.
To never deal with cold cups of coffee ever again, preorder your very own BOLT by clicking Back This Project or read on to learn more!
Most temperature-controlled mugs are over-engineered, expensive, underperforming, and a pain to use.
BOLT is a completely portable and rechargeable heated 10oz mug that maintains your drink at three ideal temperatures for 4+ hours.
Control the temperature of your coffee or tea using simple capacitive one-touch controls.
- Press and hold for any temperature setting
- Tap-to-Wake LED panel
- 15s auto-dim lighting system to reduce glare and conserve battery life
- Touch panel deactivates after 10s if no temperature is set to avoid accidental activations
How to Use the BOLT - A Simple Demonstration
BOLT is designed to all UL safety standards required for certification. It features an automatic shut-off in the base if no liquid or mug is present to make the BOLT safe to use at all times and to conserve battery life.
To regulate any liquid at a warm temperature you either have to A) add heat (energy) to the liquid or B) keep its existing heat from dissipating. BOLT does both. The BOLT MugTop is engineered with the most effective insulation system that features a double-walled static air gap design and a food-grade stainless steel inner liner that conducts and radiates heat back into the liquid. By prioritizing insulation within the MugTop, our engineering team was freed to create an intelligent base housing liquid level sensors, thermostatic controls, and light, yet powerful lithium-ion battery. This combination provides more than enough heat to keep your drink warm for 4+ hours. Longer than any other heated mug on the market!
Using a bayonet mount, the BOLT Base and MugTop can be attached/detached with one easy click. Attach a fresh MugTop to an the existing base with plenty of remaining charge or swap in a new base with a full battery for that never-ending office meeting. No clutter and no stationary charger required.
The easily detachable MugTop is completely inert, sealed, and 100% waterproof. No handwashing needed. Just click, toss and go. Let the dishwasher do the rest.
Any BOLT MugTop can be swapped out with a clean one while the dishwasher cycle is running. All MugTops are compatible wth the BOLT Base, regardless of colour.
*Colours are rendered approximations and may appear different on your display device. Refer to colour options and Pantone codes below for an accurate representation *
The slim and lightweight design of the base blends seamlessly into the MugTop creating a sleek look and is easy to take anywhere. All mounting components are on the internal edge of the MugTop and Base, allowing you to store and use the MugTop as you would any other mug.
Designed to fit under any standard counter coffee maker or espresso machine, the BOLT’s non-slip base prevents slips and spills. On the go? All BOLT MugTops come with a silicon gasketed Travel Lid to keep the cold out and your drink in.
*You can select any colour option or combination of full unit colours at any perk level*
In our commitment to environmental sustainability we chose to spend a ton of time and engineering to make the BOLT smart enough to charge with any USB Type C chargers. 75% of the world uses Android phones, so odds are you ALREADY have a charger that works with the BOLT. If you use Apple laptops, then you ALSO probably have a charger that works. So please check.
We didn't want to charge you for yet another cord that will end up in a landfill, but if you absolutely need a power cable or adapter, they are available as an add - on.
100% Delivery Guarantee:
The BOLT is ready to go. We have finished the engineering and design phase. We have finished the tooling phase. We have finished the testing phase. And we are ready to bring it to you.
When you pledge you will be contributing directly to manufacturing your BOLT and you are guaranteed to receive your order. That is a promise from us to you.
We have partnered with the best shipping and logistics teams to ensure that the BOLT and any additional rewards are delivered directly to you with care and precision all around the world.
In order to keep your shipping costs to an absolute minimum, you will be charged all shipping, and taxes (only if applicable) JUST BEFORE THE TIME OF SHIPPING. This is to ensure that bulk shipping discounts can be applied to everyone's order per region once we know total quantities and final destinations of the shipments. We will not be charging you any markups on shipping. Our goal is to get the best possible price for everyone involved.
Shortly before your BOLT ships you will receive an email asking you to do the following:
- input your shipping address and other delivery information
- pay your shipping and sales tax (only if applicable).
Below is the latest shipping estimates based on region. Please understand that shipping costs fluctuate daily and are subject to change with the fluid nature of e-commerce. Although we wish we could give you guaranteed rates, we will always be looking for the absolute best shipping rates for our customers regardless of region.
Shipping costs may also vary depending on the quantity of BOLTs and accessories per single order. The above estimations are on the high end and the final rates will most likely be lower on bulk orders. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with our backers.
This is us: Roy Reid, Phil Moniz, and Kevin Claydon. We are successful Canadian entrepreneurs who created Canada’s largest and the world’s only online app platform that pays meme creators for their content (Thunder - in all app stores). With a following of over 2,000,000 fans across all Thunder Dungeon media platforms, we turned our focus to product design and were driven to find a more effective and affordable solution for everyday coffee and tea drinkers. Thus began the BOLT.
The most important thing we have learned in our careers owning and operating a company is how much time we waste in the office either waiting for scalding hot tea to cool in order to drink it in the perfect 7-minute window or constantly microwaving our cold forgotten cups of coffee. Seriously, that’s been our most important takeaway. Considering our microwave would short out the main office router for our online media company, we decided we really had to come up with a solution. The second most important thing we’ve learned is how to mobilize smart people to get things done. After 3 years of engineering, design, tooling, and testing we are excited to share the BOLT with you
