Your Favorite Coffee Cup

i’m torn between ‘favorite’ and what i actually use 99% of the time. i’ve lost patience with luke warm coffee as i age. so for this reason i use an insulated vessel with a lid exactly like this:


this design brings me no joy (other than effectively keeping my beverage hot).

i wish my favorite was more effective in that regard:

Depends which one is clean.

Someone makes a ceramic replica of your quintessential NY paper coffee cup. As a matter of fact, I just saw it a couple of days ago. I’m off to the Internets to research, because I can’t remember where I saw it.

This is why I like small cups and mugs!

Yeah, but it’s the paper cup that makes the coffee.

Is that the secret of Starbucks?

Looks like they still have it.

Beautiful teapot as always. Are the teacups belong to the same set with the teapot or you purchased them independently?

I had a mug once that said I’m Not Martha. Another had, in historic typeface, Votes for Women. Both gone. And another one had a ceramic cockroach in the bottom. Gone now, too …

I like your message.

I have never had a Starbucks. Ain’t no way in hail I’m paying $5 for a cup of coffee. Weekdays, I just drink drip dark. I don’t add anything. When I want a treat (weekends) I use good coffee in a Moka pot. Then, I’ll add some sugar or cream. That whole week doesn’t come to $5. I only drink like 10 ounces at a time.; unless I’m in a diner and the convo is rolling. 4-5 cups of the diner coffee.

I have done a plain Starbucks coffee once or twice when there was no other alternative available but otherwise, I’m absolutely with you on this one. I roll my own and keep it simple - and small. Besides, I think the key to good coffee is … good coffee… and the Starbucks I had tasted like it came from a wet ashtray.

$5??? Get real.

Coincidentally, two houseguests requested we pick them up Starbucks coffee drinks this morning while we were grocery shopping. A “venti breve cappuccino” and a “grande iced drip with 1 pump of mocha” came to over $16.

These days Stabuck coffee no longer considered to be high end or expensive coffee

You and me both… when I worked I made my coffee at home and took it in a thermos to work. I was the only one in the office that did this, as everyone else went to the Starbucks on the corner.
What they paid for one cup of coffee was what I spent in a month on a tub of Maxwell House.
