Frequently Asked Questions About Mugs

Is there a difference between a cup and a mug?

While their function may be similar, the main difference between a 'cup' and a 'mug' is their shape. Cups are generally smaller than mugs and will typically have a handle & saucer. Mugs, on the other hand, are larger in size and don't necessarily require a handle. Mugs are often thicker and better insulated, making them comfortable to wrap your hands around, even without a handle.

What is the best type of mug for coffee?

The best type of mug to use for coffee can differ, depending on the situation you're in! Enamel mugs are a great choice for camping thanks to their durability, whilst a travel mug would be the perfect solution for taking coffee on the go. When enjoying at home, we recommend using a cafe-style glass or ceramic coffee mug. These materials are non-porous and won't impact the taste of your coffee or tea. Just remember to always ensure that any glassware you're using is rated for use with hot liquids.

What is a mug cake and how do I make one?

A 'mug cake' is a popular at-home treat, made by combining simple cake ingredients in a mug. These ingredients are mixed together and then microwaved for an easy and delicious dessert option.
