The Coffee Mug Thread

Bryan316 · #1 01-02-2008, 08:22 AM

I got a coffee mug from my steel vendor. He came by and gave us hats and staplers and sweat-sponge bandanas for summertime and clocks and calendars... but my fave is this funky coffee mug. Very simple, but the design rules! The bottom is flared out and large to hold more than a standard mug's worth of coffee, and the top has a very narrow diameter. It kinda works like a wine glass to keep coffee from sloshing out as you carry it. I haven't spilled this thing yet while carrying it back to my desk. So awesome.

It shames my Symphony X mug and my SS "F-ing METAL" mug my buddy made for me. Function over form, baby!

Tell us about your favorite coffee mug.

7-Eleven imprint. Stainless. Holds about 42oz.

I saw it one night in the store at 2am. I'd walked in after a gig, sorely in need of coffee. Said "That's mine!" and it has been for almost 4 years.

my favorite mug is one from the FBI office in DC. my ex-mother in law gave it to me years ago when she was there (she works for a US congressman)...

My favourite mug is the one with coffee in it...and by coffee I don't mean pooh.

My favourite mug was given to me by a friend, on my birthday. Possibly one of the most thoughtful and useful gifts I've ever received and I treasured it. It was pretty large, and could hold a good amount of soup or iced green tea. Unfortunately I dropped it one day and shattered into pieces. To this day, I still miss that mug.

This mug is sitting on my desk right now - took the photo with my cell phone camera (that's why it's a bit fuzzy). Says: Fender - Precision Bass Since 1951

If you need a "mug" to hold your coffee, chances are you are a girl drinking mildly coffee flavoured milk. Real men drink espresso and that requires a "cup".

my 2 favorite mugs:

ski-doo travel mug... top fits really nicely with rubber so it doesn't leak, and even though it doesn't close the holes on the top it doesn't leak when sloshed

and my favorite regular mug is one i have from the airport marriott in orlando... got itfrom out room on the band trip last new years eve... lol... my buddy has the serving tray, another mug, and all 4 drinking glasses from the room... we almost had one of the pillows (AKA tampon 9000... long story... just the shape of it) but we took that out of the pillow case for a last minute pillow fight and forgot to put it back in, and we almost had the CFL bulbs out of one of the lamps, but me decided to put those back... and the TV is bolted down in the room... would've had that if not for that fact lol... but the mug is great, just plain black, but the story and memories are worth it

Or you like to drink more coffee than those eurotrash pansies.

Chances are you are not drinking more coffee, you're just watering down the same amount of coffee with milk so your sensitive palate can take it.

But, if holding a large cup of slightly coffee flavoured milk makes you feel like a man.....
