apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love my isak cups but have yet to drink from them!

I think I'm going to check out thrift stores because the prices for these are too much for me.

I believe the fourth one (the wooden one) is a yunomi (pronounced you-know-me). It's the style of cup Japanese drink their tea out of. Looks like a more modern version, though.

Anyway, in Japan you can get yunomi at dollar stores, so perhaps some cheaper ones would be available online?

don't forget the hug mug!! https://shop.maxbrenner.com/product.aspx?prd=3

My absolute favorite are the Marimekko latte mugs:

They also make a larger verson, which is great, too! I use them every day.

I prefer my mugs to have handles. I can always ignore the handle if I need to warm my hands. But to have a handleless mug can be a pain to use if your drink is piping hot.

Most of the tea I get at East Asian restaurants that I go to with my parents get served in handle-less mugs, and I'm always annoyed at how long it takes before I can take a sip without burning my hands or tongue! Hehe! I prefer handles so I can warm myself up on the sides of the mug for a bit, but still have the handle to use when it's too hot to hold for long. So... I feel purposefully getting handle-less mugs right now to replace handled mugs is kinda silly unless this was already something you were into and have.
