My best cup
This might be a good time to mention my favorite coffee mug. I know. Not a common thread. But if you drink a lot of coffee and do it over a long period of time you too might acquire a preference. In my case the mug was created a lifetime ago. Sometime around the time of the Korean conflict I think I have more than one of them and they have dates stamped into the base because these were former military surplus mugs I had an uncle that was in the forces and he gave us some one summer. They were created out of a material known in the industry as melmac. A sort of plastic I assume. And they are indestructible. You can even clean them by taking them down to the beach filling them full of sand and gently massaging until the coffee stains are gone. No ceramic here. What sets these mugs apart beyond the indestructible part is that they’re comfortable. Well balanced. Capable of keeping my coffee warm for a very long time. And if the mug falls on the floor I just have to clean up the liquid. The mug is and continues to be indestructible. They travel with us when we camp. I know I have seen those fancier mugs made of stainless steel but the reality is that they become too hot to hold if your coffee is hot and too cold to hold if your coffee is cold. This material is preferable on so many levels. The colour choices odd. I have one that is green and another that is yellow. I have seen other colours while checking out the prices on eBay but that was a while ago. Anyhow tell me about your preferred coffee mug.
