Title: What coffee mug are you using?
Post by: FullRangeMan on 5 Dec 2022, 06:29 am: Some years a go I started using a big 300ml mug but in the winter the coffee cools too fast, so I changed to a smaller 200ml ceramic mug that I had stored in the 1980s and forgotten, so this was the right size to drink a hot coffee.
Wonder what mug are your favorite?

Post by: Letitroll98 on 5 Dec 2022, 09:24 am: I rotate a couple yeti cups. Keeps the coffee hot for hours if I needed it to, but it rarely lasts that long before I drink it.

Just whatever mug is clean.

I have mugs at home and work. Pretty much a steady flow of mud all day.

I love making my own Intelligentsia Angelenos (4 espresso shots, milk, agave and ice cubes shaken) or enjoying a shot of espresso (Intelligentsia Black Cat, Blue Bottle Hayes Valley, or Philz Tesora, Silken Splendor, etc.)

Post by: newzooreview on 5 Dec 2022, 10:02 pm: Expensive, but very solid and used every day.

I microwave it for 99 seconds on high to keep it from cooling the coffee. Holds 12 oz. to the rim, but I only fill it 2/3.

Post by: S Clark on 5 Dec 2022, 10:09 pm: The cup of the season. My wife loves to put out Christmas mugs, Thanksgiving mugs, Valentine's Day mugs, and 4th of July mugs. I also have an every day mug thrown to lean left when you look at the donkey motif.
Then there's the souvenir mugs.... Maine lobster, Yellowstone, Kilimanjaro, Vienna...

Post by: WGH on 6 Dec 2022, 12:40 am: The heavy, old fashioned 14 oz KXCI mug is for the morning. The Kalita filter is first rinsed with boiling water, which warms the cup.

If you see the moose cup on the counter top you know I've been into the whiskey.

Post by: EkW on 6 Dec 2022, 02:56 am: I usually choose between these three hand made mugs. The tree mug is from Oak Ridge, TN, circa 1994. others from local street fair. They won’t hold coffee; cocoa or tea only. Should have rotate the handle on the left hand one; it is a tentacle.

Title: Re: What coffee mug are you using?
Post by: JoseM on 14 Dec 2022, 11:34 pm: This is one of my favourites. Locally made at Mudgee - one of the newer culinary and wine making regions of New South Wales in Australia. That's about 4 hours northwest of Sydney, and quite a popular weekend destination.

Quite uniquely it has a thumb rest and the contour of the mug fits nicely into the palm.

I apologise - try as I have, the image comes out sideways. I have tried saving it with a counter orientation and uploading that image but no dice. I thought we might be upside down from the Southern Hemisphere to you guys, not sideways!

Iam using this simple unbranded 200ml mug that I have bought in the 1980s it appear to be ceramic, I have used it some time at those times and last year I went back to use it again when the big porcelain cup I was using started to crack, I noted this old 200ml mug never cracked as the news I have now.

Post by: Letitroll98 on 21 Dec 2022, 11:39 am: Well I've very recently changed mugs because of a nice Christmas present from my wonderful brother. Namely the Nextmug from a company called Nextboom, a battery operated heated mug with a docking coaster. Not sure if I like it better than my Yeti, but I'll be testing it throughout the holiday season anyway. Which I could do better if I hadn't messed up the charging last night, duh, being old sucks sometimes.

Sorry, I need more detailed instructions (I have no idea where to find those options). :scratch:

PS - I fumbled around in my Gallery and found an option to rotate the image, but when I try to put the updated image in the post it still ends up sideways (I hate computers!). :cuss:

Post by: richidoo on 27 Apr 2023, 01:15 pm: I dropped my previous coffee cup (https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=184074.msg1932157#msg1932157) on the granite countertop and broke off the handle. :cry: I glued it back together, but now I only use it for special occasions.

My daughter gave me another one last Christmas that has taken over primary duty:

My java setup. Middle cup is my daily driver a 16 oz ceramic. I like'em tall and thin.... so they fit in a car cup holder. Spouses mug is on right, ceramic with faux aluminum cup look. Beatle Seargeant Pepper's mug is for show as this is an audio forum.

A new one I picked up a short while ago. Red Leaf Coffee is a local spot just up the road that started as a tiny little drive up stand. Inside the cup is some good Water Ave dark roast who is also local just down in Portland. It's a good morning. :thumb:

Post by: Pez on 27 Aug 2023, 12:47 am: My setup is geared more towards straight espresso/ristretto and I dont practice making cappuccino. I will say that this place (Steam) on Pearl st makes the best Cappuccino I’ve had period. I don’t go there often but I went for a drive today with the dog and ended up there. :green:
