    I'm a total creature of habit - I use the same mug every day for coffee.
    I even have two of them and keep them at different locations so I can always use it :)

    For me, it's the Klean Kanteen vacuum insulated 16oz tumbler and I love it for both warm and cold drinks.

    18/8 food grade steel.
    BPA free.
    Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks warm for a long time and the outside never sweats or gets cold/warm.
    Love the brushed steel.

    It even compelled me to for some time ago join their 'say no to plastics'-pledge for a month where I didn't use any disposable containers or utensils.

    Here's mine:

    I love my Le Creuset red ceramic mug. I'm into tea though.

    I have several but this is the one I enjoy most.

    Fire-King "D-Ring" philbe mug from the mid-1940s. Gave a quarter for it at a junk shop. The ivory tone isn't as common as the white milk glass, and there's also a fairly unusual clear version that would be nice for tea.

    I read somewhere these were also often used as shaving mugs but I don't see how there's enough room to whip the brush. Anyway, that's mine. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go fill it up.

    I like that. For some years, I've used this for travel. Hasn't failed me yet. My only complaint is that it could be bigger but I see where a larger version is out now.

    I drink more coffee at work so when I'm at home I just grab whatever is in the cupboard. I just replaced my go to coffee mug of almost 7 years.

    Above was my go to mug for around 7 years, its replacement is below.

    I'm looking forward to that in about 3 weeks. She's six, so she can probably manage PBJ.

    It's one of the coolest things. I'll take a PBJ anytime.

    My wife bought this for me 15+ years ago. It is an old fashioned diner mug. My everyday coffee cup.

    I like that one a lot - it really does conjur up images of road side diners.

    Don' t mind the messy counter. This is my weekend mug. It's part of a series of pictures done by a local artist of Portland, and Oregon in general, during various fictional apocalypse type events. This one is called Oregon Coast Zombie Apocalypse.

    My usual morning 'go-to' mug. I have probably a half-dozen of these both here and at the office. We ordered seven hundred as giveaways to new members and for special events. Initially, I wasn't keen on the tapered shape (thought it might be top-heavy or 'tip-happy'), but my concerns were unfounded. The black matte finish is quite nice and the oversized handles are perfect for us big-mitted coffee drinkers. ;)
