I have over 20 mugs and only like drinking out of two of them

[Deminism]

I like nice round mugs not coffee mugs, no dark colours inside and no matt textures. No fancy shapes and no silly handles. I don’t know how we have so many that I don’t like.

Wilko!

You need a cull. Just charity-shop the duds.
Actually I need a cull - I have 3 or 4 favourites and the rest are all too big/too ugly/too thick/dark on the inside/something else I've randomly decided I don't like in a mug.

Poor unloved mugs, give them to a good home so they can see out their days warmed by the love of good tea

I have the same problem, however I do need a different mug for tea and coffee. I especially hate Easter egg mugs but can't seem to get rid of them.

Our office is always on the look out for unloved mugs... couldYou take yours to work?

You have to have some mugs that you won’t drink out of so you can give them to visitors. Imagine if they broke one of the two you liked!

Same story here. We have a few which I actively hate and I always make DH drinks in those ones.

I like fine china, not jam jars. We have a ridiculous number, but the nasty ones never break!

I love a thin rim. Nothing chunky. My family find this hilarious 😂

I use most of mine. Some are better for tea, some for a sugarless coffee, some for mochas and one for hot chocolate. I couldn't do a cull.

I thought this was how literally everyone lived?!

My big dilemma is whether to take a 'good' mug to use at work. It risks getting broken or stolen - a dire thing for an item so precious - but at the moment I'm drinking out of some crap mug I found in the cupboard at work and it makes me day slightly worse than it need be three times a day.

Me too! I have one I use for first cuppa of the day, my mid morning coffee cup, a back up mid morning coffee cup ( if I need a second cup) and my afternoon tea mug. The ones I don't much like I use for builders, the window cleaner etc as I won't be sad if they break them. I cannot drink out of a mug that isn't white inside. I cannot drink out of a chunky mug. Loathe mugs with slogans or adverts for companies. I know I'm mad. My family tells me

We tried to have a cull of our zillion mugs. Pulled them all out, asked everyone to put the mugs they used back in the cupboard and those inloved ones would got to the charity shop/bin.

Didn't work. Of the 5 of us, we each liked different mugs.

My husband bought mugs once

@Pagwatch LTB. Seriously. What WAS he thinking?

I'm a potter. Please can we have pics of your perfect mugs (for research purposes).

God knows

They’re terrible. He’s away this week. I’m binning then. He bought them IN A BOX - hadn’t picked them up, held them, tried the handle or anything.
Ffs

Mine multiply, I seem to get bought a new one every christmas from at least one family member to go with the coffee or hot chocolate they've bought me.

YANBU. I'm the same. I have the perfect mug for coffee and the perfect China cup for tea (it's from Home Bargains so isn't exactly posh, but it does the job!)

I quite like chunky mugs. I can't stand V-shaped ones for some reason.

I love a mug. I seem to have mug 'pairs' that I use when having a hot drink with DH. They don't match but seem to have equal 'mugginess'
I agree to different mugs for visitors. They can't be tainting the real mugs. No that wouldn't do at all.

Oh my gosh, excellent suggestion. I'm going to donate my unused cups and mugs to work.

It's a daily battle, cup wars. I take cheap ones in and get to keep hold of it but the night staff are buggers and keep stealing them. I even bought one that was red inside, thinking it would put people off (I don't like cups that have colour inside) but that went within the week.

Life is too short to drink out of mugs you hate. Seriously.

Does anyone watch Gogglebox? The siblings from Blackpool use quirky shaped mugs. It gives me the silent rage.
