I have three favorite mugs:

At my parents house it is one from "Uncle Johns" pancake house in Toledo (I have totally thought about pinching it).

At my house I have two - for a BIG cup of tea or coffee I prefer a mug I have that looks like a paper-takeaway cup, only it is ceramic and has a handle. For a small cuppa I like my son's robot mug. [www.pedlars.co.uk]

The mug in the picture could never be my favorite coffee mug, because the color is too dark. Coffee should be sipped slowly from a light-colored mug that contrasts with the coffee's rich dark brown or beautiful cafe au lait color and makes you fully aware of what you're drinking. Looking at the stuff as I drink it is an essential part of the coffee ritual for me.

It also enhances the experience if your mug was a gift from your Texas fam and says "Keep Austin Weird" on the side, along with the name of that city's finest bookstore, Book People.

What about beer coozies? Because I know Bud-Light tastes waaay better with my "Keep On Truckin'" beer coozie.

Someone stole my favourite mug at work and I am on the warpath (if by "warpath" you mean sitting at my desk in the corner of the office and randomly glaring at people).

I have fish cup. EVERYTHING tastes better in fish cup. Fish cup is a mug, with fish on it, and everything goes in this mug. Beer, wine, milo, tea. If fish cup goes walk about there is hell to pay. Normally this involves a drunk Cesy going 'Where is fish cup? I can't find fish cup. Give it back you bastards'.

I don't drink out of mugs. We have basic white little cups at home and I use mugs to hold pens.

I can't be the only one.....

Darn straight. When my sister's bf broke my lieblingsmug, there was hell to pay. Well, 7.50 to pay, so I could get an identical mug. My brain is easily fooled.

I have a rather plastic/acrylic type cup that I drink wine from, and the wine is great. But I have had it in paper, plastic, crystal, etc, and it is always great. Perhaps I need grant money to prove this?

I do not let anyone put anything in my mugs. Tea only and only for me. (mind you, I have my own stash. they have coffee cups.)

My favorite coffee mug is one my older sister got from a Tom Waits festival that used to be held every year. It really did make the coffee taste better.

Does the same hold true for ice cream when eaten with a favorite spoon? Because to me cookies and cream never tastes better than when it's scooped up with good ole Future Mouth.

@Jello Mix: It's funny you say that. I do have a favorite kind of spoon for my ice cream (and I say "kind" because I have 4 of them). It HAS to be the fancy, heavier kind of spoon. Otherwise my ice cream doesn't taste as good.

@Jello Mix: *gasp* I have 5 of the same teaspoon and they're the only spoons I'll use - and my roomie thinks it's hilarious ::

I KNEW IT - I KNEW IT ALL ALONG :: it isn't just a weird obsession with ONLY drinking tea from my favorite mug (like only a few notches down from objectum sexuality???). It's science!

now to convince my roommie.

My dad always gives me grief whenever I'm home and use his favorite cup. The funny thing is, it's a mug from my old university so technically it's not "his" except he's completely taken over it. I suppose now it all makes sense.

I love this!!! and it is so true. No coffee tastes as good as the coffee I drink from my big beautiful stoneware mug I got at the Renaissance festival.
