What Do You Drink Out Of?

Sooner — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 03:44:10 GMT

Or drink from? Or from what do you drink? An odd question for some I am sure, and maybe even for some we may live with who seem not to care. But some I'll bet can relate!

Here's my list:

Hot tea: If from a pot, a cup, from a china set, Spode Blue Room or Portmeirion. If made from a tea bag, a mug Portmeirion or Villeroy Boch Manoir. Or I can make two cups of loose tea in my thermal large cup with a filter or a ForLife mug with a filter--which is used very often. The Thermal mug keeps it hot or warm all day.

Cold tea and Soda: A big heavy glass like a pint glass, or a tall thin one.

I have a favorite set of glasses I got free many years ago and love them. They are sort of a twisted shape, cooler size, and very easy to hold on to.

Milk, water, or juice and on humid days iced tea or soda: A very old 13-oz. footed Tritan goblet from Williams-Sonoma. Also Rifle Paper Co. and Takeya drinking cups that don't sweat and keep things cold.

Hot tea (teabag) or coffee - a Rae Dunn mug. I have several to choose from

Cold drinks - either a big Tervis Tumbler or big thermal tumbler (30 oz), unless we're at a nicely set table. Then I'll use a glass from my Waterford Marquis set - a stemmed one, if I really want to make it special, but that doesn't happen too often.

@Sooner The only things I drink daily are coffee and water. I use a cerise colored 14oz. le creuset bistro mug for my morning coffee.

I then drink tons of Poland Spring water with a metal, reusable straw in it for the rest of the day. That's it.

I, like you, love Portmeirion. I have the Sara Miller Chelsea collection that I use for tea with friends.

Great topic. Thanks.

I use a large cut glass beer stein for coffee...

Just came back from my neighbor's fire pit... drinking wine from my Snoopy cup. Hope it's acceptable? 😬🙏 🍷 It was a lovely night! 🤗

I'm obviously underthinking my beverages.

I don't drink hot drinks. No coffee or tea. I carry around a 32 ounce Hydroflask filled with ice water and drink from that all day. Orange juice I just put in whatever glass I have around.

If I ever get rid of you Rae Dunn mugs, I am for sure going to copy this!

Cold drinks:

Hot drinks (coffee, tea, Chai, etc.) -- These are Lenox from QVC. Ordered 3 sets (I tend to break things)

Also a few random "unique" ceramic mugs (with cats on them) and insulated car mugs for on the road.

@Sooner

Oh I can relate. I don't drink hot drinks except a hot chocolate if it's freezing cold. Maybe twice a year.

Wine - Waterford wine goblet

Diet Coke or water - 30 or 40 oz insulated tumblers with lids filled with ice and a stainless straw. I choose a color based on my mood.

Milk/juice - boring glass

I do have other sizes in my Waterford that I use for my Thanksgiving table for water and drinks of choice. My insulated tumblers (mostly Yeti) with lids fit in cup holders and travel with me.

I drink bottled water so nothing fancy there! I don't drink iced tea or pop or juice.

For my morning coffee, I like a larger mug ---no little cups for me! I switch around and have a lot of them. Right now I have a mug with Marilyn Monroe on it! Over the holidays, I have several different ones to reflect Christmas, etc.

For tea, I have a more delicate china one which DH bought for me from a show that I love on t.v. - Escape to the Chateau. It has a lovely little print on it and has my name!

Tea - from the wide-mouth Harney & Sons white cup. So the tea cools faster. (I bet you know this one, @Sooner !)

Coffee & hot chocolate - cup & mug from Brambley Hedge.

Liquids - from the Pfaltzgraff blue stem glasses DMIL gave me. (I did not keep the dishes because they are too heavy.)

Traveling - from the travel mug I purchased in Hawaii.

A big Aladdin (now Thermoserve) 34 oz. insulated mug. Little to no condensation on the outside and they keep cold things cold for a long, long time. They're not very pretty, but they work well.

For hot drinks, I have a variety of pretty and interesting shaped mugs.

For cold drinks, a balloon wine glass I can get my plastic ice cubes in; tea and water, a clear tea glass.

I drink water out of a Camelbak 48 oz stainless steel tumbler and wash/refill them. I have 4 in rotation in the frig.

Very occasiionally I will have tea and use a coffee mug and use silicone straw. Coffee is out of a 20oz yeti with a silicone straw to prevent teeth staining.

Perrier is out of the can w/silicone straw or in a coffee mug w/silicone straw.

Every few months I'll enjoy a Diet Dr Pepper.......with silicone straw. I used to be addicted to Diet Coke and very rarely drink diet sodas now.

We aren't fancy at my house.

We drink our water from fridge filtered water in our Yeti tumblers; coffee from Magellan (Academy) cups w/lids and wine from the Yeti wine cups.

We have assorted tumblers, coffee cups and wine cups.

Basically, whatever I pull out of the cupboard. Usually a big plastic cup I got as part of a Schwan's rewards program back-in-the-day. Wine is in simple clear wine glasses from Bed Bath & Beyond, juice from a vintage set of small embossed glasses.

The only hot drink I drink is hot chocolate almond milk and use a big sturdy mug. Also the same for cold almond milk. I only drink Hint water or plain bottled water - out of the bottle.

@Harpa How funny! I should have guessed! I had one of those Harney cups and it went missing when I retired and moved out of my office!

Brambly Hedge? The wedding--two mugs or "beakers" is I remember?

Travel cups from East Coast beaches will have to suffice! LOL!!!
