Do you use a teacup or a mug?

[Diane Lane]

We always used teacups and saucers at my grandmother's house, but at our house (growing up), we used mugs, so I got into the habit of doing that. But, on holidays or other special occasions, we'd use the good china, and teacups and saucers. It recently occurred to me that when I need a pick me up, or when I make an actual pot of tea, I use teacups and saucers. How about y'all, what do you prefer to use?

Thanks for making me laugh! Maybe one reason I save the china for special occasions is because I'm so clumsy. It does make an occasion feel so special when I pull them out, though.

Nah! get on and use them
Or get some odd ones, just makes tea more enjoyable , if you buy good tea why skimp on the cup

Very true. I'm going to start using them at least on weekends, when I can relax a little more. I do love the pretty colors, they make any time feel special. I tend to use pretty dainty floral china teacups and saucers.

I like a big chunky mug. I find that the drink stays hotter in a thick mug, plus I don't think that cups hold enough liquid. I can certainly see the appeal of having a nice teaset but on the whole, I much prefer a mug.

I've a two pint pot(mug) for when I don't want to boil the kettle too often.

And the cup in the picture posted is awaited.

I'm not a snob by any stretch, if I'm on the move I have a thermal cup or I have a jet boil system but it does have the coffee press for proper coffee
