I love mugs, have started collecting them a few years ago and can never have enough. My favourite mug was a beautiful blue terracotta one I got from Greece years ago but it broke during a house move (still upsetting!). I am on a mission to find new ones to add to my collection.
Do you have different favourite ones for tea and coffee ?

This one in Union Jack Red but they do blues as well as lots of other colours.

Great size not too big and not too small and best of all fine bone china that is dishwasher safe.

sorry I've just seen there are espresso cups on that page I linked as well - mine is a mug which are further down.

I have some from Senay ceramic's on Etsy but my favourite has to be the one I treated myself to in St Ives https://www.thepaintedbird.co.uk/collections/mugs/products/carved-mug-large-copy. It’s the perfect size and i swear it makes my coffee taste even better.

This is my favourite mug. I always have my morning coffee in it and get really cross if DH accidentally makes a cuppa for someone and gives them my mug!,😡

My favourite, the only one I use at home. Bought it about five years ago in a newsagent in Queensland. It's tough - those chips are from when it fell from my bag onto concrete.

I have loads of Emma Bridgewater mugs and I love them, plus a trio of gorgeous Cath Kidston/Snoopy mugs, which are just beautiful, however my absolute favourite is this which is a cheapy from Sainsburys. You can’t really tell, but it’s wider at the base, which is great for a clumsy person like me

This is my favourite mug - just a cheapo from Asda but I love it so much I have 3 more in the cupboard as back ups and NO ONE is allowed to touch them.

I love @BoatsAndHoes mug, gorgeous colours

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 28/10/2024 08:03

I was bought this Sophie Allport one as a gift years ago and use it every single day. I wouldn't have chosen it for myself but it's perfect- holds an enormous amount of coffee and because it's round it's really comforting to hold!

This is one of my favourite mugs (especially for a cup of tea!)

I've inherited them from my mum when she moved countries and couldn't take them. They are very thick and sturdy and just comforting.

I also have 2 tall latte mugs bought both from Primark which are my favourites. I like a big mug 😁

DH has instigated a "one in one out" mug rule as we have too many mugs (and he's bitter that over the past 12 years I've managed to accidentally break all the mugs he brought with him) so now if I want a new one I have to decide which one to give up. Difficult because I love all my mugs!

I have this one in the coloured version. My husband's boss brought it back from Finland as a gift. I've never seen another and was wondering what I'd do if I broke it. Now I have a link to the website. Thanks 😊

TheLittleOldWomanWhoShrinks · 28/10/2024 08:19

Le Creuset (the big ones) all the way for me. For tea, I alternate between white, dark red and dark green ones. Volcanic for coffee.

Meceme · 28/10/2024 08:19

Here's mine.

This one from Emma Bridgewater. It was a limited edition charity one. I broke the first one, found this on Ebay then went to the EB factory and managed to get another to keep as a spare for when I inevitably drop it at some point.

mynxy · 28/10/2024 08:35

Here's mine. I don't use it as I prefer to drink out of a bone china one, but it's definitely my favourite

This mine. I found it at a car boot sale years ago and bought it cos the cat on it looked like my Cat . It was also the perfect size for those sachets of cappuccinos, and also made the perfect cup of tea. Unfortunately it slipped out of my hand not so long back and smashed on the kitchen floor. I was able to glue it back together and now it's sits next to late DCat ashes

I love a mug. I'm on holiday so can't show you my favourite but it's one I got from a pottery in Scotland a few years ago. Bluey-grey and just the right size for coffee.
I also love my Le Creuset mugs - I have a set of 4 of the large ones. Always makes me happy to drink my tea from them 😊
