Manner is teaming up for another collaboration, and this time the partner is no small name—Wedgwood, a British porcelain brand with over two hundred years of history. As soon as the news broke, social media exploded. Some people are looking forward to the image of sipping coffee from an exquisite bone china cup, while others are already worrying: how many cups of coffee will they have to drink to get this cup? Looking back at Manner's past collaborations, most of the merchandise required purchasing a limited-edition drink set to obtain, which left many consumers feeling troubled. Whether this collaboration with Wedgwood can change the rules has become the issue everyone cares about most. [more…]

The Manner Coffee collaboration ceramic cup with WEDGWOOD, a British Royal Warrant brand, officially launched on March 4th, limited to 50,000 units, and quickly ignited social networks. However, on the first day of the event, the Manner mini-program crashed due to excessive traffic, and some consumers who successfully placed orders encountered automatic system refunds and had their orders canceled; others, when purchasing the drip bag cup set, discovered that the complimentary gift had a production date of last November, suspected to be inventory clearance. At the same time, there were also lucky ones who successfully got their desired collaboration items. This collaboration event can be described as full of twists and turns, showcasing the brand's appeal while also exposing shortcomings in its service. As coffee lovers, while paying attention to the hype, we might also take note of the stable quality experience offered by brands like Front Street Coffee. [more…]

Recently, however, a number of netizens reported that the handles broke less than a month after use, and some even suffered cuts. Earlier, the mugs had already been criticized for poor quality control, including color discrepancies, chips, leaks, and crooked handles. At the same time, the ceramic cups from Manner's collaboration with Wedgwood were also found to have defects such as incomplete gilded detailing, cracked handles, and scratches on the cup body. The repeated failures in freebie quality have greatly undermined consumers' trust in Manner's gift promotions. [more…]
