Kirby Posted April 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2021 We've had video calls for work most days the past few weeks and one of the guys always seems to have a different mug for his coffee. Even though I have a number of mugs, I tend to use the same one for my tea most days. Some of the mugs are even different sizes. I rarely wake up and think it's Tuesday, I'll have a small mug of tea today instead of my usual size. So how about you? Are you like my coworker randomly changing mugs each day depending on your mood? Or do you go for reliable consistency with the same mug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted April 20, 2021 Share #3 Posted April 20, 2021 I get a coffee from the Starbucks machine daily so although it looks the same it’s a different cup each day. I do use the same mug for several days at home though and just wash it out each morning. When we fill & run the dishwasher which is every 2-3 days I’ll wash the old & get a fresh one from the cupboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted April 20, 2021 Share #4 Posted April 20, 2021 I have my favorites, if I can get to them first. In the before days, when I worked in an office, I had only one. At least I think so. The company gave out coffee mugs, so they all looked the same. But they were very nice coffee mugs, would be one of my home favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted April 20, 2021 Share #5 Posted April 20, 2021 I carry a 20 oz contigo thermal flask that my coworkers call my sippy cup. I drink from it every day. At home, I grab a mug from the cupboard. Any mug will do really. I like smaller mugs so the coffee stays hot. My wife likes one really big mug of coffee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share #28 Posted April 20, 2021 I use a contigo travel mug for iced tea or seltzer, but I found it kept the hot tea too hot and it was actually hard to drink. So I use a ceramic mug for tea - one from shutterfly with a picture of a painting a friend did of my parents old back yard. The painting included their favorite garden things including two stray cats who eventually became house cats, cardinals in the bird bath, the little stone steps and blooming azaleas and day lilies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted April 20, 2021 Share #29 Posted April 20, 2021 No. At work it was almost always disposable. At home, my wife treats me so I just drink whatever she gives me. Cyanide could be an easy way to get me. Just sayin' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted April 20, 2021 Share #34 Posted April 20, 2021 Like a lot of people we have an excess of them. I have a rotation of aboot a half dozen. I like the ones with Boynton cartoons. I have been on a hunt for one to keep the coffee warm a long time. But ones with lids sort of suck the joy oot of drinking coffee for me, mainly because it stifles the aroma. I think the thick ceramic “diner” cups might be the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted April 20, 2021 Share #35 Posted April 20, 2021 I have 2 that I alternate between..most often..but I have a few seasonal ones that might make it into the rotation ..I believe @Randomguy has a thing for bunnies..since he had the bunny glass on his table last week..when he was at my place..he used my bunny mug..that I use at Easter/Spring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted April 20, 2021 Share #36 Posted April 20, 2021 I have been carting this back & forth to work for well over 20 years. It was a bribe giveaway- from a vendor at a past job, it used to have a company name on it but that is long worn away. I didn't carry it while bicycle commuting but it has a lot of motorcycle miles on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldendesign Posted April 21, 2021 Share #39 Posted April 21, 2021 A few years ago my sister got me a R2D2 StarWars mug, since then I've somehow accumulated 3 more StarWars themed mugs. I like them, they actually keep my coffee hot. Around the house I use them daily. At work I used a company branded travel mug or a Lightning branded stainless mug. Of the starwars ones this is my favorite: As for work, the Lightning one gets the most rounds around the building: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
