It’s not a flaw in the design; in fact, running your mug through the dishwasher is supposed to extend its lifespan. This tiny cut lets the water drain so that your cup dries considerably faster and prevents water from pooling at the bottom.
The next time you purchase a new cup from Starbucks, you can do so knowing that it is made to last for a long period rather than just a few months. This tiny dent can cause an excellent coffee cup to last for years.
