2. Wrapping your hands around a chunky cup can be really comforting
3. Really good quality fine bone china will retain the heat longer
I love drinking tea and coffee. It's my weakness - it's my morning vice.
One thing became really clear to me on my travels last year for my book Rethink - The Way You Live is all the homeowners who I visited across the globe gave me a cup of coffee or tea with no handles. Truth be told I prefer a cup with no handles. There is something very comforting to wrap my hands around a warm brew.
This trend I believe has come from our wonderful takeaway coffees. Perhaps a psychological link between the coffee we buy from our local cafe to when we have it home. It just feels right.
i like it in theory but unless the cup is thick then it's too hot for my hands. i'd like a clear coffee mug though
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting way to serve tea and I can see how comforting it is to wrap ones hands around the cup.

Mat it's all about the type of ceramics used for the cup. It takes a little research but cups like the maxwell & Williams is a great example in being able to drink the hot brew without burning hands :-)
