    Good morning!

    I assume that the collecting (or hoarding) bug may not be limited to just watches and I wonder if anyone has a favorite or special coffee mug that they tend to use more often than others? They happen to be my personal souvenir of choice while traveling and I have managed to cram about 30 or so into my tiny Stockholm apartment (against my fiance's wishes). They pack easily, are usually inexpensive and are a nice reminder of travel when you use them.

    My favorite (most used) mug is a old 70s/80s Disney Epcot mug, which was given to me by a patient of mine, while I was working as a physical therapy assistant in New Orleans. He had brought his identical mug to the hospital with him to use during his month long hospital stay. I had mentioned that I loved his coffee mug (being a Disney fan and had that cool retro look) and he and his wife found one on Ebay and bought it for me.

    Here is my daily beater

    Coffee mugs have short lifespan in my house. My favourite long dead had this on it:

    The one on the left (don't have my own picture of it on hand right now). Handmade at the Asahiyaki studio in Uji, Kyoto, I picked it up while my wife and I were visiting their studio along the Uji river. Design is actually by a Danish design house OeO, so not super traditional or anything.

    It's my favorite cup since it reminds me of the experience and is very well made, and feels great with the varying textures.

    Otherwise, a diner mug from Gimme! Coffee in New York, one of my favorite coffee shops there. Makes me feel like this:

    One of these woodsy places with logs and taxidermy ... quite possibly the worst food the wife and I have ever had to choke down. But I had to have a coffee mug.

    I use this guy since I switch to iced coffee in the summer, and then back to hot in the "winter".
    Being in Florida, we don't get much winter, and I can't drink hot coffee when I'm already sweating through my shirt.
    So this thing keeps the cold cold and the hot hot.

    Right now I'm sipping on a nitro cold-brew. No sweetener, just a bit of milk.
