Explain the container you use for your morning cup of coffee.

My cup for my coffee is shades of blues with a leaf emblem on both sides. Used it for about 13 years now (already). Got it in TN on a vacation. Same time we got other pottery with different leaf emblems on them. I still display a lot ot those around the house. I love leaves. To look at and not rake. LOL.

Whatever your morning beverage is, can you describe it? Does yours have a story behind it?

Morning coffee is in a Lenox ceramic mug, white with dark greensh blue floral design. Bought from QVC as an LTS, came in sets of 4 and I ordered 3 sets because I break things. They are easy to hold and do very well in the microwave oven--not too hot to hold.

For other morning hot drinks or when I just want a larger mug of coffee, I use a pale beige ceramic mug with a cat drawn on it. I found it on Zulily and it came with a mouse inside, a really well made fabric toy mouse, for the cats. The mug as well as the mouse are still undamaged after nearly 2 years, the mouse holding up much longer than their other toy mice do (or a real mouse would.)

I drink coffee from a heavy glass mug (Russian style). My grandmother also had a samovar (if you preferred tea).

Fun question.

I always use something somewhat insulated. I don't like lukewarm coffee or tea and I take my time drinking it.

I am currently using a metal Pioneer Woman white mug with flowers and butterflies. It also has a lid.

My mother in law has used the same mug for years. Its like stoneware or crockery and it has a crack in it but doesn't leak. She has dozens of others, but will only use that one.

@qualitygal I love some of these interesting, random questions people come up with here...

Morning beverage, Assam Tea or PG Tips (later coffee...equal opportunity caffeinater here)...

Have a collection of various favorite cups I alternate with, but my two most used, favorite morning cups are two (the same) of what were my mom's Polish Stoneware mugs. Tulip shaped, royal blue/ivory, with seafoam green dots & little blue flowers with a red center.

The other favorites were a gift from a good friend, when I first moved into my home many years ago...it was a set of 4 from Starbucks. Some did craze, and one chipped over the years so I did let go of 2, but still have the other two. Love these. Short, straight sided, round mugs, with a speckled painted abstract in pastel colors, and a rooster on each. They just have always been my perfect morning cup.

I've always used a pretty ceramic coffee cup. This last year I mostly use one that I kept from my mother's home after she passed away last December. Mom was a positive person. Her cup says, Too BLESSED to be

stressed. It is white with blue, yellow, and red flowers but mostly bright yellow.

I collect pottery mugs, all different, and I use whichever one suits me on any given day. A dear friend gave me an iron mug holder years ago that I have them displayed on. Some of the mugs were gifts, some I bought during trips, some by local artisans. Whichever mug I choose on any given day allows me to think back on their history as I sip my morning coffee. Knowing these mugs were made by hand and not machine gives me some sort of comfort. I also have mama's Anchor Hocking FireKing mug but don't use it, I just display it so I can remember that she's always with me. I would be horrified if I dropped it. I have a Belleek mug for my afternoon tea.

I use a basic clear drinking glass for water. No story behind it.

My thing is to always pick up a coffee cup for myself when we travel. I love sipping my morning coffee remembering the fun we had at this particular vacation spot.

Any time I drink coffee at home, it's in my Lenox made in America fine bone china "Holiday" pattern cup. Yes, Christmas all year round.

Coffee tastes better out of fine bone china. Really.

I use a 10 ounce Yeti cup. It keeps coffee warm longer than other cups.

Since I have one cup which is an espresso coffee I have a small cup for that. It's from a cup & saucer Fiesta dishes that I have in either Sunflower yellow, Lemongrass green or Scarlet red.

My machine dispenses one cup at a time and I have gotten into the habit of adding powered cinnamon to the fresh grounds....it's not only supposed to be very good for you but adds a bit of sweetness to the flavor. I really can't taste any cinnamon.
