I have been trying to find a reasonably priced hotjo mug for years now in the deep purple color. I saw a bunch of other colors or ones that looked close to the one I wanted but just couldn’t find the exact one I wanted. Well, yesterday my wife gave me the best valentines day gift ever! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a Raktajino to make.
I think where they really shine is on a desk, where you’re not dealing with cup holders , but a wide base and low center of gravity gives you a puncher’s chance if you happen to bump into it while grabbing for a pen or a book or something.
The mug OP and I have about is also nice and heavy, which also makes it difficult to knock over.
i always thought so, too. they also were always good for quickly picking up and putting down while full without worrying about spilling everywhere.
