My Favorite Mug.
I have a favorite mug. I know you do, too.
I am a crazy person that hides my mug in the back of the cabinet so no one else will use it. It is my favorite mug because it fits nicely in my hand and doesn’t get too hot if I have to heat up my tea.
This mug is by Oneida.
Oneida dinnerware is really beautiful, but I didn’t know that until recently! I love the Chef’s Table collection that I now own. Oneida sent me a set to check out, and more than anything I really love the bowls and mugs. I also love that they are white, sleek, and match all of our other white dinnerware.
I love that the bowls are perfect for a big bowl of soup or pasta. Because of the unique square yet round shape, the meal stays hot.
I love the mugs because they fit really well in my hand. Also, we have a set of fancy coffee cups for when guests come over, but those cups are really small. These Chef’s Table mugs are perfect for a big mug of hot tea. They are simple enough for daily use, but sleek enough to bring out when we have guests.
It is raining right now as I write this, and my mug of tea inspired this post. I am cuddled up in our couch-less living room in my leopard print fleece blanket enjoying a vanilla tea and pondering the meaning of life… or just thinking about my favorite mug.
To check out the full Oneida Chef’s Table collection you can see it on the Oneida website.
What’s your favorite mug?
*Please note that Oneida sent me this collection for free, but as always my opinions are entirely honest and I only work with companies I believe in.
My favorite set of mugs come from Williams Sonoma. They have sweet little snowmen on them and are tapered, getting smaller towards the bottom. I like that they stack easily within each other for maximum storage. I also love pouring a cup of coffee and cupping the mug in my hands while I breathe in the rich aroma of the beans mixed with my creamer and a squeeze of caramel. Coffee time is one of my favorite times of the day!
@Bethany @ One Girl’s Taste On Life, Ahhh I love your description of your coffee. I can’t wait for morning!
I have a Crate and Barrel brown and white polka dot mug I love for a good cup of tea. And my black HUGE mug is great for tea, coffee and soup. I love the both!
Our pretty orange and green one from Starbucks. The rest are old, small mugs we got for free at different events. Drinking out of my favorite makes my morning coffee much more special!
I don’t drink coffee or tea so no cute mugs for me. I do enjoy the occasional hot chocolate so I steal my boyfriends plain white one from Publix (nothing special) when I do. How did oneida send you that cute stuff for free? Very cool
I have two Tinkerbell mugs and an old red/white one with hearts that I “pout” when someone else uses. We have a friend who stays w us over the summer and he always would take the giant Tink mug til I mentioned it. His response was it was the largest one & perfect for coffee/tea. My response – EXACTLY!
I just bought a Drexel mug…it’s a deep royal blue with yellow writing and it’s huge! It’s really just a regular college coffee mug haha…but looking at it makes me happy ๐
i really love the huge starbucks location mugs! they’re perfect for soup and hot tea ๐ and mine is especially good at making me wish i was on the beaches of hawaii ๐
@Heather (Heather’s Dish), If I want a HUGE mug of tea I go for my Starbucks one from Jordan. LOVE the memories it brings back, and I think I will buy a Starbucks mug from every place we visit.
I have a mug that I painted at a “paint your own pottery” shop years ago. It’s my go-to mug and a few weeks ago it slipped out of my hand in to the sink. The handle broke off in three pieces and I was sad enough that I called my husband! I had dinner plans with a girlfriend that evening so he was home before me. When I got back from dinner the mug was on the counter and he had super glued it back together. Crisis averted… ๐
@Laura, That is such a sweet story!
A big red mug that my sister got me one year for Christmas. It’s one of those oversized mugs from Starbucks. I hide mine, too ๐
If you don’t have a favorite mug, you need one. It changes the whole drinking experience (hm.. sounds like i’m talking about alcohol.. whatever works.. lol). My favorite mug is an oversize dark green one that makes me feel like I’m cozzying up next to a large fireplace in a log cabin, surrounded by the woods and my (future) horses. ๐
I used to have a few favorites — but when we got all of our new china it included a set of mugs so I donated them. Now I miss them! And all of your stories are making me nervous for the winter without my old go-to mug. Officially on the look out for a new one!
I had a mug where I painted my guinea pigs picture
on it. I think it is at my Dad’s house…
hahahaha…you called me out! i definitely hide “my” mug when others come over so they don’t use it. im a freak. glad there are others out there too ๐
my fave is huge – its practically a bowl. its the best.
