What is the perfect size for a coffee mug?
Standard coffee mugs a coffee mug anywhere from 8 to 10 ounces is a good size for your favorite drip coffee. If you consider yourself a more serious caffeine drinker, you may want to graduate to an 11 or 15-ounce cup. Typically, a mug holds approximately 250–350 ml (8–12 us fl oz) of liquid. A mug-shaped vessel much larger than this tends to be called a tankard. Mugs typically have a straight-line profile, either perpendicular or flaring. However, this is not defining for the form, and a curving profile is possible.
What are the most durable coffee mugs?
Stainless steel mugs are the most durable but can be harder to handle if they don’t have a heat-resistant handle or some sort of sleeve, and they’re not microwave-safe if your beverage needs a fast reheat. They can also impart off-flavors. Ceramic mugs do a good job of retaining heat and are comfortable in the hand. If you’re frequently on the go and need a mug that won’t tamper with your favorite drink’s flavor, ceramic is your best bet. But if practicality is key, stainless steel is the durable alternative, with a minor trade-off in taste.
