Does anyone use cups any more ?

For tea I mean ? Are they too small and impractical ? Saw a lovely set today in a charity shop today, but would they ever be used ? ,do others here use them ?☺

They don't make cups like they used to. My mum's cups could hold as much as one of today's mugs. When I get a cup in a restaurant I'm usually disappointed at the little they hold.

I used them. I'm more of a coffee drinker so when I have a tea I often leave half the mug untouched.

I don't think so anymore.

Little coffee cups (espresso) are lovely, but tea "sets" are gone largely now I think.

However, I always have my granny's china tea set on standby in case any of the maiden great aunties come to visit. They likes their tea in a china cup! It's rare nowadays though.

I find most tea never tastes as good out of a thick-walled mug. My favourite type of cup to drink tea out of is the wide, rounded thin-walled cups. Often you see them in a set with a teapot where the teapot sits neatly on top of the cup, looks great and the cup makes the tea taste a lot more nuanced.

OOhhh... I have about four different cups/mugs type vessels that I use, depending on the drink. Espresso cup in the morning, coffee "cup" when I want more than espresso shot, old stone mug for the cuppa irish tea, glass bodium mug for the likes of green, herbal or infusion teas... So yeah is the answer :O)
