Making custom coffee cups at home - what do you use?

Hey all,

 

Every guy has a "thing" they collect, whether it be hats, belt buckles, or whatever.  For some reason I have like 100 coffee cups.  Yeah, it's nuts but there it is.  Rather than uploading my designs to Redbubble or similar and paying $15+ for a mug that I can get retail for $2, I'm thinking of getting a machine so I can do them at home for my personal use (or to give as presents to family/friends - I have no desire to sell anything).

 

It's hard to figure out what is reasonable in terms of price but also works - I don't want to spend $100 on a machine and then find out the stuff can't be put in a dishwasher or doesn't work well.

 

I'm trying to do research and things seem to point to this machine, as in addition to creating coffee mugs I can use it for t-shirts too, and anyone who knows me knows I also like t-shirts too (especially now that I'm 100% WFH and don't need to dress up for the office).

Are there better recommendations?  Does anyone actually one one of these types of machines, and if so which model are you using?

I actually bought my wife one of those for Christmas a few years back.  She makes T-Shirt transfers on her Cricut machine, and uses that to attach it to the T-Shirt. She has yet to use it for making hats or mugs, but I think eventually shes going to give it a try. I'll try and look up the model number for you soon.

It doesn’t have any identifying Model Numbers from what I can tell, but appears to be the same one you posted the link for. I used it to press my codpiece after sewing it together when I was building my Biker Scout.
