Post your favorite coffee mug!!!

[Macy P]

THIS Catty Catty mug is my absolute favourite mug!

It says: Mew Like Nice Things? SCRATCH THAT!

Anyone who's ever owned a cat will know that cat owners can't have nice things! I have a little kitten who is always scratching on the sofa despite the fact I bought her lots of scratching boards.

It's a bit frustrating as the house is slowly looking more warn but at least the mug makes me smile.

It's now my go-to Christmas gift for cat lovers this year as I gave one to my neighbour for her birthday and she couldn't stop laughing. Plus its unusual - there are so many Cat Lady mugs about, but this is a bit different.

Also gives me a cheeky reminder of the Catty Catty cat every day and her videos are very funny obvs. So is simon's cat but its nice that its a real cat.

One word of warning - I got it on Ebay brand new but that was a bit of a mistake as you can get it from the catty catty website cheaper. My ONLY regret!

I use this mug every single day without fail. I have a Grumpy Cat mug too but this one is my fave.

This is where i SHOULD have got it! https://cattycatty.com/product/gifts-for-cat-lovers/

Have a matching black one too.

And here's the black one, for whatever reason the black one is speckled while the white one is not:

I love these! An obvious answer to my question, but where would I buy one without visiting a Starbucks?

They were just randomly on an endcap at the grocery store (Hy-Vee).

An oldie but goodie from the wayback of my assorted workplaces... this one from the 1990s.

The "apple" looks more like a cracker, or cheese. Then there's that cherry.

From Daiso Japan store in San Diego. They have many more badly-translated/senseless in English mugs, etc.

Haha!! I love Daiso stores. Never came across poor translation mugs though. I LIKE it! I only know about the Daiso store in Oceanside/Carlsbad off 78. Is this the same store or is there another? They seem to be a growing chain. First store I found was in Chino Hills.

There is one in Kearny Mesa. (San Diego neighborhood with a large Asian population.)

For those who don't now, Daiso is a chain of Japanese "100 yen" stores. Similar in some ways to our dollar stores. They have 2,800 stores in Japan, 4000 world-wide. They have about 50 in the U.S. and just recently opened their first east coast store.

They sell mainly small, well-designed, attractive home goods. Most/many items are designed in Japan by Daiso, and manufactured for them in China. This is not stuff that will last you a lifetime, but good enough for now, and all look great.

So, it's not exactly our concept of "dollar store", in that it is not here-today gone-tomorrow discount finds like remainders, expiring food goods, etc. but bespoken designs created by the company themselves. They do sell some food goods and third-party products as well.

Like HomeGoods, if their buyers and management had any taste.

My very first Starbucks mug ("been there" series) is the one from Seattle. I got it and Pike Place, which, of course they only sell AT Pike Place market Starbucks.

I've collected states I've been to, and ones that have special meaning for me (like places my kids lived while in the military, cool places we've traveled through, etc.). I've limited it to states with the exception of Seattle and Pike Place, since those were where I got hooked on Starbucks mugs (oh and New Orleans because, well, we LOVE NOLA, and it's a super cute mug). I absolutely LOVE the shape/size of them because they have those big, flat bottoms and aren't easily knocked over.

I think I have about 18 total now that I've collected over the last year. I don't have a favorite. I rotate them so I can use a different one (with a different memory) every day. ;-p

Latest addition from the trip back 'home'. I was really hoping they had another in the 'black' ( Which I normally drink from ) series of mugs with just Hawaii or Honolulu on it. I suppose this makes sense for what people expect from Hawaii though.

I have three. The red one is no longer in my possession but I use the other two daily.

My favorite cup made of ceramic.

The one, the only, the original NYC coffee cup! I want to get a couple of those in ceramic too, I had heard they come in a set of two. So iconic of the city all these years... I think there's even one stashed in the Museum of Modern Art.

I picked this one up from amazon last year when my coffee mug broke. I just looked at wearehappytoserveyou.com but they are all sold out. I'll have to check out moma.org to read what they say about the cup.

Been giving this Mir Camp Cup a try the last few days.

Bit smaller ( I know, sorry for the picture size, it doesn't seem so small while loading ) 12 oz than what I care for, but man does it keep a cup of coffee warm for hours.

I use Canon lens mug, which is the replica of Canon 24-105 L lens

I should give that a try... my library is chilly on mornings in winter when I first get up, so I generally just use an Asian dipping sauce dish to set over my coffee mug. It fits great but the bottom of the dish gets condensation on it, so it's awkward if i haven't brought a plate in with me to set that little dish on while sipping the coffee.

It's this one. I'm guessing the red one doesn't sell well ( I don't know why, I keep thinking of it as my version of a certain red stapler ) which has gone on sale 2X.
