Chocolate fondue mug
The best bit of the film is the dipping.
Light the tea light, press play, and let the chocolate go molten while the opening credits run.

The part nobody plans
It is not that you lack a plan. It is that the film alone is not one.
Pressing play is not a plan. It is what happens when nobody had one. The film fills the time and the evening still feels like something that was left to chance.
The ritual is the small part before it: you light the tea light, wait for the opening credits, and dip. Ten minutes that turn a Friday you sat through into one you actually did.
Why it sticks
Six reasons movie night changes
-
No pan, no microwave: the tea light does it allBreak the chocolate in, light the candle, sit down. Nothing to plug in and nothing to stir on a hob.
-
Stays warm for the length of a filmThe flame keeps it molten from the opening credits to the last scene. No getting up to reheat.
-
One mug per person, nobody shares the bowlYour chocolate, your fork, your pace. No reaching across the table or waiting your turn.
-
Three colours, one for eachChocolate brown, red or white. Everybody knows which mug is theirs before the film starts.
-
The fork clips into the handle and never gets lostIt travels with the mug: to the sofa, to the sink and back to the cupboard.
-
Goes in the dishwasherGlazed ceramic: the chocolate comes off in one pass, and the maker confirms it takes the dishwasher.
Every shape has a reason
One mug, five decisions
It does not look like this by accident. Each part of the mug does one job for the evening.
Whoever is on the sofa
For two, for three, for four
For the slow days
For the days you are not leaving the sofa
Some evenings the plan is a blanket, a hot water bottle and something you have already seen four times. Cramps, a rough week, weather doing its worst — the reason changes and the evening does not.
The mug is a small ceremony for exactly that: warm, sweet, sitting right there on the table and asking nothing of you. You are not cooking. You are lighting a tea light and going back under the blanket.
It is comfort, not treatment. If something hurts more than usual, talk to a doctor rather than to a mug.
The mug itself
Exactly what arrives
The question we get every day
And why not a classic fondue set?
Because we owned one. It came out twice in four years: too much to set up, too much to wash, and one pot everybody had to reach across to. This is what changed.
| Mug Mello | Fondue set with burner | Bowl in the microwave | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setting up | A tea light, nothing to assemble | Burner, fuel and stand | Reheat every ten minutes |
| Cleaning | One mug and one fork | Pot, burner and six forks | Bowl and a splattered microwave |
| Lasts the whole film | Yes, on one tea light | Yes, while the fuel lasts | Sets after ten minutes |
| One per person | Yes | One pot for everyone | One bowl, one spoon |
| Cupboard space | A mug | A whole box | A bowl |
| Price | From €16.99 per mug, shipping included | €40-90, plus fuel | Free, and it shows |
If fondue is a once-a-year event for you, the big set does the job. If it is going to be a Friday thing, the difference shows every single week.
We asked the first buyers
What the numbers say, not the brand
Before opening we sent packs to a small group and asked them, two weeks later, what had happened on their sofa. These are the answers.

Open flame. There is a lit candle under the mug. Keep it on a heat-resistant surface, away from anything that catches, and never leave it burning unattended or within reach of children or pets.
The morning after
How it cleans
Three steps, none of them a chore. The glaze is the reason.
- Blow out the tea light. Let the mug cool for a few minutes before you move it; the base holds the heat a little.
- Warm water and a sponge. The leftover chocolate lifts off the glossy glaze in one pass. The fork goes in with the cutlery.
- Dishwasher: yes. Confirmed by the maker. A sponge also does the job in under a minute, if you would rather not wait for a full load.

Questions
Before you order
Why can I not buy just one?
Because one mug is a mug and two is an evening. The whole point is dipping at the same time as somebody else, so the smallest pack is two. It also keeps the price per mug down, which a single unit could not do.
Can I mix the colours inside a pack?
Yes. You choose the colour of every mug separately — three brown, or one of each, or any combination you like. Pick them in the selector above.
What chocolate works best?
Plain bar chocolate broken small, with a splash of cream to keep it fluid. Chips melt faster. The Movie Night Kit that comes with your order goes through the method, the ratios and the mistakes in detail.
Do the tea lights come with it?
No, and we would rather say it here than have you find out when you open the box. The mug takes any standard tea light, the same one that goes in a lantern, and the arch in the base is cut to that size. It is the one part you can buy anywhere for very little: any supermarket or corner shop has them, and one bag lasts months.
Where do you ship, and how long does it take?
Worldwide, and the shipping is already inside the pack price, so there is nothing added at checkout. Delivery takes 13-19 days from dispatch.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Prices on this page are shown in euros. The currency you are actually charged in, along with any local tax, is set by your delivery country at checkout — it does not depend on the language you are reading in.
Is it safe to have a flame on the table?
It is a normal tea light, the same one you would put in a lantern, and it sits enclosed in the base of the mug. Treat it like any candle: heat-resistant surface, nothing flammable nearby, and never left burning on its own or near children or pets.
Friday is coming either way
The best part of the film deserves better than a bowl from the microwave.
