What is a Mug?

A mug is a type of cup typically used for drinking hot drinks, such as coffee, hot chocolate, or tea. Mugs usually have handles and hold a larger amount of fluid than other types of cups. Typically, a mug holds approximately 240–350 ml (8–12 US fl oz; 8.3–12.5 imp fl oz) of liquid. Mugs are typically cylindrical and made of earthenware. They have straight sides and are used without a saucer. A mug is a less formal style of drink container and is not usually used in formal place settings, where a teacup or coffee cup is preferred. Shaving mugs are used to assist in wet shaving.

Types of Mug

 

Acrylic Mugs

Transparent, acrylic mugs are great for juice, water, or soda. Since they're cheap, a business can also use them as trade show swag or freebies at live events.

Ceramic Mugs

Ceramic mugs are used by the estimated 1 billion coffee drinkers around the world. These mugs have smooth outer walls and easy-to-grip handles.

Copper Mugs

Are you hosting a cocktail party? Be sure to have plenty of copper mugs for all those Moscow Mules! Copper is shiny and non-corrosive, which means the acidity from the drink won't ruin the interior.

Corn Plastic Mugs

Bring life on the farm to your drinks! Corn plastic is on trend for bottles, food packaging, and utensils. This eco-friendly material can also be used to make mugs, which is ultimately way better for the planet than disposable cups.

Glass Mugs

Pubs, bars, and breweries should have plenty of glass mugs or steins in stock. You can use them for specialty ales, but also for serving Irish coffees, Long Islands, and even desserts!

Polypropylene Mugs

You shouldn't pour piping hot coffee into polypropylene mugs. This type of plastic will melt when in contact with hot drinks. Use these plastic mugs instead for juice or soda at a picnic or backyard barbecue.

Porcelain Mugs

If you want mugs for weddings or holiday parties, then porcelain is the best material for you! Porcelain mugs are small and delicate, so you should use them when sitting down rather than hustling around on busy mornings.

Stone Mugs

No pun intended, but stone mugs "rock!" The walls are even thicker than the ones found in ceramics, making for a strong piece of drinkware that is tough to damage.

Wheat Straw Mugs

Wheat straw is a byproduct of wheat grain, making it a sustainable material. These mugs are very lightweight and have an irresistible natural appearance.

 
Six Popular Materials Used to Make Mugs
 

 

1. Ceramic

Any coffee lover will tell you that coffee just isn’t coffee unless it’s served in a ceramic mug. Ceramic can be shaped into whatever form the maker chooses, it retains heat well and it's affordable. In addition, ceramic will not alter the flavor of your coffee or other drink and if properly cared for it will outlive its owner. If that owner is into hot drinks, ceramic is also microwave safe. Finally, ceramic mugs clean up quickly and easily. On the downside, it does not take much to chip your beloved ceramic mug. And once chipped it will never be exactly the same again, even if you glue the chipped piece back into place. Ceramic mugs are also not a good choice for parties because they break so easily.

2. Stainless Steel

You don't ever have to worry about a stainless steel mug chipping or breaking if you knock it over. For this reason, stainless steel mugs are an ideal choice for taking along on a hiking or camping trip. Stainless steel mugs are also a good choice for cold beverages as they retain the cold longer than other materials, including ceramic. A stainless steel mug with double walls and a tight-fitting lid also makes a great mug to hold your coffee while you drive. They're also tough and long-lasting. On the downside, a good stainless mug costs more than the average ceramic mug and you can't put it in the microwave. And don't even think about using a stainless steel mug as a Moscow mule mug.

3. Porcelain

Porcelain is technically a type of ceramic, but it’s fired at much higher temps than regular ceramics which allows for a beautifully glassy finish and thinner walls. There is no question that porcelain mugs have a timeless beauty all their own and are a step up from regular ceramic mugs, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. If you really want to impress your guests serve them coffee in porcelain mugs. But while there’s no debating the beauty and elegance of porcelain it also comes with significant downsides. First, it’s expensive. Second, it’s fragile. Third, chipping a porcelain mug is a whole ‘nother level of distressing compared to chipping a ceramic mug. And finally, it doesn’t keep your drink hot or cold.

4. Plastic

Plastic is everywhere these days because it’s cheap, can be molded into any shape you can imagine and it’s tough. If there are kids around the house plastic mugs make a lot of sense. But that’s about where the positives for plastic mugs end. Now the downside. Plastic is a petroleum product and an environmental nightmare. If not properly recycled that plastic mug will wind up in the ocean where it will take thousands of years to break down. Plastic also absorbs tastes over time and you can forget about having your plastic mug laser engraved like you can do with a copper mug.

5. Enamel

The enamel mug achieved iconic status during frontier times and has pretty much retained that status right up to the present day. The enamel mug is not entirely enamel. Instead, they are crafted from tin or another metal and then glazed with enamel to produce a rich, lustrous finish that's as attractive as it is durable. Enamel mugs can be placed directly on an open flame which is one big reason they became a hit during the pioneer days. They are also resistant to corrosion and will not adopt the flavors of the drinks poured into them. On the downside they cannot be put in the microwave, they get really hot if you place them on an open flame and despite their potential longevity they can still be chipped.

 

6. Copper

People have been making mugs from copper for centuries. As we stated earlier solid copper mugs have been enjoying a renaissance lately due to the surging popularity of the Moscow Mule. The copper mug has a ton of upside including its stunning beauty, its timeless qualities, the fact that a custom copper mug can be personalized, and the fact that copper is completely safe to drink from and will not adopt the tastes of the beverages it holds. On the downside, you can't microwave a copper mug and they are not as cheap as plastic.

When Choosing a Mug, You Can Consider Things Like

Size

The size of the mug depends on what you'll be using it for. For example, a 35–45 cl mug is suitable for most hot drinks, but an XXL mug is better for large quantities.

Material

Mugs can be made from materials like ceramic, glass, metal, porcelain, and stoneware. Non-porous materials like porcelain and glass don't retain coffee oils or impart flavor. Natural materials like ceramic and stoneware are durable, retain heat well, and have a good weight and feel.

Shape and lid

For travel mugs, look for a light, strong material, convenient handles, and the ability to keep drinks warm or cold for a long time. For commuting, a durable material like stainless steel and a lid are important.

Style

Choose a mug that matches your personality and decor.

 

Why You Should Use Ceramic Mugs?

 

Ceramic Mugs Retain Heat Much Longer
The first reason to choose mugs made of ceramic over another material is that ceramic keeps your drink hotter for a longer period of time. Beverages served in ceramic loses heat at a slower rate compared to mugs made out of other materials as ceramic is more porous which means conduction occurs slower in ceramic mugs. Conduction is loss of heat is through the direct contact of two materials, with one being cooler than the other. The process of conduction itself is slowed down by the little air pockets developing in the pores of ceramic acting as heat insulation. Besides conduction, convection which means a loss of heat through the air, also plays a role in contributing to a cold drink. Initially, the mug warms up until it loses heat through convection. In turn, this causes it to draw more heat from the beverages via conduction. Compared to glass, ceramic has a higher specific heat which means that glass will lose heat through convection at a slightly faster pace than ceramic. Heat loss through convection occurs about 11 percent slower with a ceramic mug compared to a glass mug of the same shape and size.

Your Beverages Just Simply Taste Better
Each one of us have a certain perception when it comes to the quality standards of the beverage product we consume. Whether it has come to our attention or not, the importance of the vehicle or in this case the mug or glass that we use to consume our beverage highly contributes to this perception. Enjoying a beverage is not all about the taste anymore but also the weight, texture, comfort and overall aesthetics of the mug or glass used to consume it and there is no other container that fits as perfectly in your hand as a ceramic mug. All this time you might have thought that stainless steel mug is the perfect mug for your beverage but the truth is that it is not good for your overall health in the long run. This is due to its chromium oxide layer (what makes the steel “stainless”) absorbing all the soap, manufacturing lubricants, and other rancid components.

More Environmentally Friendly
With the advancement of technology giving ease in accessing everything we want to know about, people have started to be more and more conscious of what and how they contributed to the environment and its health. If you are using plastic, paper or styrofoam cups, you should consider to switch to ceramic mugs as despite ceramic mug taking more energy and resources to create, styrofoam and plastic cups are not biodegradable. You can also decrease your carbon footprint as mug made by ceramics surprisingly doesn’t weigh as much as other mug types like glass, which means that they are lighter. When shipping mugs in large amounts, the tiniest fraction of an ounce between mug weights can add up to the increase in shipping resources. Extra manpower, resources and also energy usage such as gas for trucks and ships all contribute negatively in protecting the environment.

It Can be a Great Marketing Tool or an Awesome Gift
Whether you are a business looking for brand awareness or someone that is searching for the perfect customised wedding souvenir, ceramic mugs can be great tokens of memorabilia for those that shop your stores or attend your events. Ceramic mugs lets you give your guests or recipient a one-of-a-kind souvenir to remind them of your event or brand every time they see it. Now people can take a little piece of you back home with your logo and design of choice branded across the front.

 

Ceramic or Glass Mugs: Which One Is Better?
 

You Need a Good Mug to Catch Your Tea or Coffee
Whether you get ceramic or glass mugs, the difference in the taste hardly matters. In terms of features, both ceramic or glass materials have some common features as experienced while sipping the hot drinks. The difference, however, is how they appear. A glass mug is mostly a transparent one with simple and minimalistic design, ceramic, on the other hand, comes in various colors and designs. It also comes in various prints.

 

Ceramic Vs. Glass Mugs - What’s Common?
Both the ceramic and glass mugs can be a good option to choose for having tea in your day to day life. Especially when we compare them with stainless steel or plastic mugs. The latter can give the small of the liquid which was previously served in it, making it a bad option for you to choose. Both ceramic and glass mugs tend to remain more resistant to the smell or flavor trapping issues. Both of them offer their own set of benefits. Both ceramic and glass do not retain much heat but the latter is often seen as having stainless. Ceramic mugs are easier to clean when compared to the glass mugs. To prevent the loss of heat from the glass mugs, you can think of investing glass mugs having narrow openings. Although one may find both the mugs to be popular among the homemakers, yet the coffee mugs of glass have become more popular these days particularly in restaurants and cafes.

 

Ceramic Vs. Glass Mugs - What’s Different?
The difference between the Ceramic and Glass Mugs starts with visibility. At one glance, you can make out the difference thus making out which one is glass and which one is ceramic. Besides, this obvious difference, one may find few not so obvious differences. Checking the physical properties, glass mugs remain pyrex adding light kind of weight over the mugs when compared to the ceramic cup. However, this is not the case with Ceramic mugs as they are thick when compared to the glass mugs. This means the ceramic mugs can retain the heat for a much longer time duration than the glass cup. On the other side, in your glass cup, you can see the tea steeping. With the help of a visual cue, monitoring the issues like tea steeping becomes easy. On the contrary, the ceramic cup seems to be made with more forgiving material and thus tends to remain less fragile, hence it does not easily break. Using a glass cup will allow the whole world to know that you are having tea thus attracting others to have the same in your office. In terms of aesthetics and beauty, ceramic mugs have an edge over the glass mugs for obvious reasons.
