How To Pick the Perfect Coffee Mug

There’s something undeniably soothing about the ritual of making morning coffee. Whether it’s the simplicity of a pod machine or the precision of grinding beans to perfection, the process is sacred to many. For me, coffee simply tastes better in my favorite mug: an old, chipped ceramic mug with a navy blue drawing of a dog from a local coffee shop with the same name as my own furry friend, Bixby. Despite having dozens of other mugs in mint condition, this one feels nicer on my palate. Experts believe there are plenty of reasons to curate a coffee mug collection, just as a sommelier might stock up on varietal-specific glassware.
