If you’ve got a dishwaher you’ll know how irratating it can be to take the mugs out of the top shelf and splash water on all the clean plates below (or is this just me). Ikea has come up with a really simple solution to the problem, a mug with a notch in the base, the TROFE mug.

The notch gives water an escape route from the bottom of the mug. As ideas go you probably can’t get much simpler, so I wonder why it’s taken so long for somebody to come up with it. Well done Ikea.

The TROFE mug is available from IKEA, found via Gadget Venue and Oh Gizmo.
