What sort of object do you drink from?

Ever since I read of it in Ulysses I've wanted a mustache cup;





For now though I have a couple of mugs I was given at various times as presents. Anyone drink their coffee or tea from something special?

Ooh, distracting.....that is very very cool, but I'd be too scared of breaking it to use it!

I'm a big fan of the Illy collection of espresso cups

This is what I drink coffee from. Funnily enough I'm actually very particular about this. We have two of these cups and anytime I brew some coffee I always, without fail, use these two glass cups. When they are full they look really good, not to mention the smell of fresh coffee!!

Aidan I'm seriously considering ordering one of those for the occasional latte!

I have those as well. They're quite nice. I like the wire handles.

I have two gorgeous little espresso cups that I picked up in the Sangrada Famila in Barcelona.

Just a tall white mug with "I love chocolate" written on it.
It's mine and mine alone!!

I drink my coffee out of a travel mug mainly. I have a nice set of expresso cups that i purchased recently too

A Mug... I fooking hate cups. ESPECIALLY those crappy 'stackable' ones you get in restaurants and hotels. Drives me up the wall.

Oh - and edited to say. The walls of the mug must not taper. They have to be parallel to the top.

Malteaser!

One of these bad boys...

Why's that?

I got a present at Christmas a few years ago that had a small whisk and a packet of hot chocolate powder. I now use the cup, similar to below, for tea.

These bad boys are currently on the way to me, hopefully they will arrive today.

Jeez I dont agree with *any* of the drinking vessels so far.
I'm very pernickity about this...it has to be a fine china mug, no tapering. I want my mouth to be full of coffee, not bl00dy pottery.
I really hate big soup bowl clay cups although I dont mind smaller china ones, for tea only.

Billyblanks i love that cup and saucer set! Where u get them?

My current favourite is a white cup and saucer set from Gaggia just with their logo on the front, got in BTs.

billyblanks

Hi Missmatty

Bought them from here http://www.zoxx.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=133

Super crap looking website but a good selection.

Although they still havent arrived :mad:

I ordered them 2 weeks ago, they say they sent them 9 days ago, so hold off ordering anything from them untill I get mine!
