Coffee mugs come in many shapes, sizes and materials. You can buy large metal travel mugs with lids and standard coffee mugs that can be found in almost every kitchen. With all of this in mind, what is the best coffee mug for home and travel, then?
Choosing the right coffee mug is not an easy task due to the wide variety. However, if you stop and consider some details, you may find it easier to narrow down your choice.
Let's start with the basics, i.e. coffee from an espresso machine or a moka pot. Both coffees are very similar - a small amount of strong brewing can cause a rapid drop in temperature. In the case of espresso, we must also deal with crema, a thick brown emulsion that is a very desirable ingredient in properly brewed espresso. To maintain all the characteristics (crema and temperature), a good espresso cup is small in size, has thick walls, a rounded bottom and no sharp edges.

The most popular espresso cup shapes are tulip and egg shapes - you can check out the ones offered by Dingmu. They work exactly the same, so choosing one of them is just a matter of which one is more visually appealing.

It is worth noting that those small cups are best suited for the so-called single shots (30-40g espresso). It leaves some space for stirring the coffee (the whole cup has a very important and unique circular motion) and allows the aroma to swirl in the space between the walls of the cup. If there is an excessive amount of liquid the aromas will spill over the edges instead of hitting your senses with the first sip. If you prefer a bigger espresso or a double shot it is best to use a larger, 150-200 ml cappuccino cup.
What is the difference between a coffee mug and a coffee cup? A coffee mug usually refers to a large cup with a handle. However, the term is not strictly defined.
For example, a large coffee mug with a lid for commuting or traveling may be called a mug or cup, depending on the coffee mug manufacturer.

Before you buy a coffee mug, you should think about how you intend to use it. Ask yourself a few questions.
Where do you plan to use the mug? What type of beverage do you drink?
How much coffee do you drink?
If you plan to use the mug at home, you may not need a large mug with a lid. However, when you are traveling with a hot cup of coffee in the car, these features may be essential.
You should also consider the type of beverage you are preparing. If you tend to mix other ingredients into your coffee, you may need a tall cup to prevent the drink from spilling when mixing.
The amount of coffee you drink may also influence your decision. Some people will drink the entire can of coffee. A typical 12-cup coffee maker makes about 58 ounces of coffee, while a single serving is considered to be 6 to 8 ounces.
Coffee Mug
One of the first factors to consider is the size. A standard coffee cup can hold about 8 to 12 ounces of liquid. Larger cups can hold 24 to 36 ounces. You can even find extra large mugs with a capacity of 64 ounces, enough to hold a full pot of coffee.
When you are in your own kitchen, you can always refill your coffee mug. A standard 8 to 12 ounce coffee mug may suffice.
If you need a mug on the go, a larger size may be needed. If the typical serving size is 6 to 8 ounces, then a 24 ounce cup can hold 3 to 4 servings.

The lid is an important detail if you plan to take the cup outside the house. Most lids are made of plastic and should be washed after each use.
There are also different types of plastic lids. For example, you can find clear plastic lids. There are also lids that provide a place to insert a straw.
Some lids have an opening that slides open, while others have a tab that flips open. Labels are more likely to spill accidentally, especially if they are worn. Lids with sliding tabs tend to offer more protection against spills.
You may also want to determine if the lid is tightened or snaps. Snap-on lids may pop out. However, the screw-on lid should remain secure even if the coffee cup is dropped.
