Our Verdict

The new Cricut Mug Press is a tech-smart crafting machine that does one thing – enables you to design and print professional-quality mugs – but does it better than you could imagine. The Cricut Mug Press itself is easy to use, but you will need some knowledge of Cricut's design software and workflow to get up and running. You can't use the Cricut Mug Press as a standalone machine, it only works with the Cricut cutting machines and Cricut Design Space. Be aware of this before you buy one.

For

  • Incredible quality
  • Good setup process
  • Consistently good results

Against

  • You need a Cricut Maker

The Cricut Mug Press is one of the craft brand's newest machines, and it opens up a fun world of art and design possibilities for both hobbyists and professionals. While Cricut has made a name for itself in the design space for offering pro-level cutting machines that can do almost any project, the Cricut Mug Press enables you to do one thing: design mugs.

If you want to design and create professional-quality mugs in all manner of colours, prints and finishes then Mug Press is the machine for you. This may look clean and simple, and indeed it is very easy to use with a bit of know-how, but behind the soft curves and smooth design is a high-tech gadget. Like all Cricut machines these make professional-quality products; read our feature on how to make money with Cricut for more benefits.
