Who says you can’t have your cake or and eat it too? Or more appropriately who says you can’t have your coffee and drink it too? Today we’re taking a closer look at ceramic mugs. After all the talk surrounding coffee machines, what is coffee if you don’t have a ceramic mug to put it in?
We chose ceramic mugs the because of its heat retention properties. Of course, that’s also why ceramic is such a popular material for coffee cups. Nobody likes cold coffee. These travel mugs were chosen for their quality and ability to keep your beloved drink warm, but also because they are nifty, cool, fun pop culture icons. There is no rule that says you have to have a boring coffee mug, and we’re here to prove that.
Each of these ceramic to go coffee Mugs features a double wall. That means they have an inside wall and an outside wall with the vacuum gap in between. The physics surrounding this vacuum seal design means hot drinks stay hot and cold drinks stay cold. Furthermore, hot drinks will not bring your hand because the outside of the mug does not heat up. The heat remains within the interior of the cup. Cold beverages, on the other hand, often create condensation on the outside of the cup. With double-walled mugs, this is not the case. It keeps your hands and the surface the cup sits on clean and dry while keeping your drink ice-cold for up to 12 hours.

Conclusion
We chose these ceramic to go coffee mugs out of the hundreds of choices because they were either fun, of high-quality, or merely fit a demographic not covered by the other mugs. We chose mugs that were almost guaranteed to satisfy everybody from the nerdy to the sports buff and from the quiet journalist to the office manager. There’re designs to fit everybody.
These mugs are durable and will last several years if they are taken care of properly. That means if it is not dishwasher-safe, don’t put it in the dishwasher. To be completely honest, handwashing – no matter how much people don’t like to perform the chore – is much gentler on any dish than any automatic dishwasher. If you like to buy things and replace them two months later, then don’t follow the instructions. However, if you buy things and want them to last, then follow this word of wisdom. Before all else fails, read the instructions.
