Here are some mug shots:

Kat's Mug Shot“This is one of my favourites – a Royal Alma mug by Staffordshire.  I love anything English and stone or potteryware..”

Patti's Mug Shot #1

Patti's Mug Shot #2

“They are big enough for two measured cups of coffee, keep the contents warm, and big enough to warm my hands in the winter (all three weeks of it!).  They tend to be the favorite mugs of all the younger folks that come for coffee because of their size.”

Patti Carter

Rudee K's Mug and ShawlRudee K and her favorite mug.


“Though I have my favorites, any mug will just about do in the morning.  This one was given to me by a friend when I resigned from the ICU.  I miss Freddie and think about her when I pour a cup of coffee into this mug.”

Rudeek who works nights as a hospice nurse.

“Meredith’s Lake Catherine mug, which Mark brought her from Hot Springs, and my local Ashland Coffee and Tea mug :) Now, I feel like a cuppa coffee …”

Mary's Mug

“Here is my favorite mug.”

Eryl's Mug

“Here is a picture of me with my favourite mug. Not sure how clearly it shows the glories of the mug itself, but it does show just how huge it is and that’s what I love about it most. It holds at least a pint of coffee which is what I need to get me going in the morning, sad but true! Not only does it hold a pint it keeps it hot too for as long, pretty much, as it takes me to drink it, which is a good forty minutes. It has no handle, and doesn’t need one, sitting perfectly in both hands as it does. Ideal for the Scottish climate: it’s a mug and hot water bottle in one! The glaze is a luminous cream with splendid green stripes all around it. Another thing I love about it is that it was hand-thrown by a particularly handsome potter who evidently loved his job. My fingers fit neatly in the ridges that his hands created and thus I feel comfortably connected to its origins.”

    I don’t really have a favorite mug anymore, mostly because I don’t drink Coffee or Decaf hardly at all anymore…..
    Those cups are WONDERFUL. I love that the one is big enough to warm your hands in the winter.

    Well I sent you my photos. Two of them. Forgive the bedhead, but I was aiming for a realistic shot of me and a morning cuppa joe.

    Wow! If I drank my coffee in those HUGE mugs they’d have to give me a knock on the head to get to sleep. My little mug has me buzzing around as it is.
