I was in a store and as always I do not stop looking at the coffee mugs although I rarely buy them since I have enough, however I loved the cat design of this one, plus I thought it was the ideal cup to replace the broken glass of my coffee maker. I also loved the message ALL You need is love I believe that if you add a cup of coffee to love you reach a maximum of happiness. ☕💖🤗

I love the song that gave us that phrase, from the old and beloved The Beatles, and I think it's very wise.
May your coffees come with love and peace, @alborhada.

So be it. That's what we look for in every sip of coffee. @adncabrera

I loved your mug....the cat motif is adorable. Hope you enjoy a good coffee ☕☕.

Thanks @chacald.dcymt this is one of my favorite mugs and a nice addition to my coffee ☕.

Sympatico!

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game...

I love that Beatles' song! "All you need is love..."

Lovely mug, and the kitties only make it better ❤️

Nice mug and with some pretty cats, they look so happy that just seeing them makes your day better. A very nice phrase that tells the truth.

I leave you a cup of coffee for this night.☕

Very true, both the image and the text radiate joy. Thank you for your cup of coffee @rinconpoetico7

Greetings coffee lovers.
My coffee mugs are the same ones I have been using for quite some time, before me they belonged to my mother, and are a nice souvenir. I don't usually get many mugs as gifts 😭 I wish I had a collection ☕. But, I do have three, which my mother-in-law gave me some time ago, they are handmade and I like them a lot, although I usually use them more when there are visitors, because for my taste they are too small 😂. Of the three, I prefer the Carmelita, because it is the biggest!

The cups are very pretty, I like the decoration, it is very artistic and different from conventional cups. We could say that they are cups for visitors.😎

I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
untitled.gif

Thank you very much 🤗

Tiny and comfortable! I like that black and white one more than others.

Thank you, all of them are very nice.

The "carmelita" one... So nice. Love the name; does it have a specific meaning in your town?

Three Little Cups! I wonder if they built three little houses. Where's the Big Bad Wolf? 😄

Carmelita, I was referring to the color (Brown) the translator played a trick on me haha.

Well, they could be taken from a children's story.

Oh, 'caramelo'. It looks like milk caramel. It's lovely 😍

Every coffee lover needs one of these...

I bought a few days ago a coffee mug... It has a silicone lid. I never knew what this lid was for until the mug came home with me.

It turns out that the lid keeps the heat inside and the coffee doesn't get cold until I finish drinking it. It also maintains the flavor and it is impressive to feel the preservation capacity that this lid has.

It has become my favorite cup in a short time. I wish that all mugs could have this silicone lid accessory.

I share with you this image of my coffee mug on the balcony of my house with the rain in the background.

Wow men!!!!
The silica lid would help you make the coffee warm through the sipping period. I would love to get such.

I didn't know about the silicone cover, I think I'll buy one like that! hahahaha

Cheers 🙏

I keep going back and forth over buying one of these :D Looks very happy. But then, all coffee does to me.

It is a beautiful way to appreciate a beautiful mug. The light is something that always speaks to me. Your mug will bring great coffees into your life, for sure.

Rain and coffee. An excellent combination. Nothing better to give warmth.
@chacald.dcymt

I love that a mug can keep a coffee hot for a long time, it would be a perfect mug for me. We don't know how to be without things until we discover their functionality.

I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕untitled.gif

Thanks, that would be great.
A cup to keep you warm would be ideal for rainy days.

Thanks for this.☕

Hey @chacald.dcymt
Thank you for all that you do for the community🤗☕️

Thanks for stopping by!.jpg

It's a beautiful mug. I remember when you picked it up 😁

I hope the rain is making the weather nicer over there. We had rain yesterday only to have steam today 🥵

Ohh! 🥴
Here the weather is always cool and mountainous. That's why coffee is the best companion... 🥰

I wish I was there 😌

I've always seen these mugs but never realized how useful they are, I think they are the perfect complement to our coffee. I already want one for myself 😃👍🏽

This silicone accessory that covers the entire cup, gives us the opportunity to enjoy piping hot coffee without burning our hands. Definitely the perfect cup 🥰☕.


IMG_20240527_085311~2.jpg

Ah, what a note and how practical! As soon as I get out, I'm going to look for one of those covers. 😊

Nice calligraphy does a lot for the beauty of things!

The mug is great! The silicone lid also helps to keep your coffee inside, while traveling somewhere by car, or a bus… it will prevent a lot of mess! 😁

I want a mug like that!!! I love it, it's very pretty I've always liked that design. Beautiful image with the rain in the background!

I often hear this saying from my mother, "Human body is not a log of wood". What did she mean? She was trying to tell me that the human body suffers stress and can crash unlike a log of wood that, if positioned to stand, can stand forever without falling.
Last Friday, I was very sick and tired. Since my body is not a log of wood, the stress from the week pulled me down. I suffered severe pain. It was so late in the night that my brother couldn't go out to any pharmacy. He thought of what he do to help relieve the pain. He decided to make coffee for me.
I drank the coffee and it helped me.
We purchased a new coffee mug and I was the first to launch it. I felt like the sickness wanted me to use the mug first.
The day I went with my brother to the market to purchase this mug, it was raining and we got wet and returned home late.

The pains were gone just an hour after sipping the warm coffee in our new mug. It's now my favorite mug because I believe it saved me my pains.

Definitely coffee ☕ is miraculous, hahahaha, glad your health has improved.

I'm glad you got your first cup!

Cheers 🙏

Thanks so much.
It worked even more than I thought medicine could have done.
What about you, have you ever had any unforgettable experience with coffee taking?

Well it happens that the day I don't drink coffee, I get a headache! hahaha

I already had my cup today, so, it won't hurt today!

Cheers!

Ohhhh
That simply means you and your mug are very tight companions.
So that coffee is your remedy?

Exactly my friend, that's right! hahahaha

Because coffee has magical properties. I've always known it. Some people doubt these properties; However, I have never doubted it.
It's good that you felt better!, @captainman :)

I too believe in that. Thanks for checking up on my write up.
Your mug looks so amazing. The transparency make it's look exotic. I really love it. Do you have more of that type of mug? @sandracabrera

No, @captainman . You're just transparent. I recently wrote about my coffee cups. If you want you can get closer.

Alright
Let me check it out🚶🚶🚶

A healing cup! And it has beautiful colors.
I think you get attached to a mug by use, and then you associate positive states and rewarding activities with them. I prefer my morning coffee in a small, clear mug and associate them with that placid moment of waking up and finding out about WhatsApp. However, I have often been to cultural events where people drink lots of coffee in small plastic cups. I have never been fond of those.

Reading you I remembered a time when coffee was the only thing that relieved my cough in the middle of the night. Enjoy your cup of good coffee @captainman

I used to have strong migraines often when I was a teenager; I remember I had my pills with a cup of black coffee for a more intense effect. Coffee really helps if you're not the kind who can't sleep after drinking it. I can sleep like a baby after sipping an evening coffee. You?

I love the colors on your mug 😍

Wowwww
Seems we share same experiences. I remember when I wanted to take my qualification examinations, I didn't sleep throughout that period, I often burn the night candle to read. Coffee was my best companion as I am a kind that loves to sleep. I and my friends we tagged the
"coffee clique". Almost half of our pocket money was spent on coffee and it later paid off as my friends and I graduated with excellent results. I often say that coffee is my best friend then.

Thanks for loving my coffee mug. The colors sometimes also give me the urge to sip some warm coffee.
Thanks for checking up on me.
Your mugs also look amazing. The one with COFFEE written on it, is a breakable or plastic?

Your mugs also look amazing. The one with COFFEE written on it, is a breakable or plastic?

It's a ceramic mug, so I'm always careful when I handle it.

When I had to study until late hours, I had a cup of coffee with a coke. That did keep me awake! 🚀

Wow, so we share that similarity too.
I don't often use the ceramic mug in the night,I prefer the plastic. The disposable one. Like this:

I use the same cup 90% of the time 😌 It's like 10 years old, almost as old as Flecha, my oldest furry companion.

IMG_20240526_074735.jpg

Ohhhhhh
Really a "fury" cat. It looks cute!!!
The mug actually looks like it a memorable one. Being used for like ten years is a very great achievement.

A lot of old stuff here, my friend. One day, I hope I can say that about myself, hehe.

You have also been so careful in managing and taking good care of the mug. Nice one friend.

We usually don’t use coffee mugs for traveling, because when coffee is hot, it tends to lose its taste quality quite fast. We drink our coffee fresh brewed only!

But I have a special attitude towards the coffee cups and espresso shots.

Currently I am happy with my coffee cups, especially with the hand crafted Japanese ones, but whenever I am at some shop I continue seeking for new ones.

I feel that I need more cups for espresso, but the ones that I usually like are quite pricey. I still have these cheap, clear glass double wall shots, but they just don’t feel right. 😁

If I have the chance to get a discount on these I will most probably grab them instantly! Their regular price is about $40 for a set of two.

Oh, what a wonderful collection. It's a journey through styles. I would have a coffee in every one of them!
Beautiful. Plus the Japanese ones are very elegant and keep the heat in beautifully. I know, because I've used them at friends' houses. Unfortunately, I don't have one myself.
I'll show my three little cups around here later. Nothing to do with them, but I am fond of them ! hahaha.....

Thanks a lot! Indeed the Japanese cups are wonderful hand crafted pieces of art and that’s why I love them.

I agree. Handmade pieces have an irreplaceable warmth!

Those double glass mugs look cool to me but I think $40 could buy several months worth of coffee, so I'd think about it 😃.

You are lucky with your coffee! $40 is usually the coffee that I and my wife consume in two weeks! 😁

Diooos!!!! Do you drink a lot of coffee or is it very expensive in your country? @mdosev

What beautiful mugs you have, especially the handcrafted ones. They all look great to me.
Hopefully and soon you will be able to buy the ones you like 🙏.

Cheers!

I love your Japanese mugs, but you know that already 🤭 About that last couple of cups, 40$ it's too expensive if you ask me, but the heart knows what the heart wants. I love the shape! It seems like the can concentrate the aroma and keep the temperature.

I also think that $40 is quite too much for a pair of espresso cups, but who knows… maybe one day some muse will hit me and I will spend these money on them. Or I will wait for a 50% discount… 😁

Of course I know that you love my Japanese cups! When I buy the $40 pair, I will send one from my current cups. 😝

maybe one day some muse will hit me...

A muse with a strong arm and a lug wrench 😂

When I buy the $40 pair, I will send one from my current cups. 😝

😂😂

I'm actually on a strict no-more-cups policy, as I already have plenty. However, I was recently stuck waiting at a mall for a friend for over an hour and when I saw this little beauty on discount, I couldn't help myself. I love bears, and the message on the inside to me was heartening. It's a freakishly big mug, actually, probably around 400 ml, so I use it mostly for teas, actually. That way, I don't feel so bad. I may have several coffee mugs, but I don't have a tea mug :D
WhatsApp Image 2024-06-01 at 11.44.16.jpeg

I love all animals, and I can see why you couldn't help yourself when you saw this beauty. There will always be a mug you feel like you must have no matter how many you have already. Love it! 😍

That's the problem. Alas, there won't always be enough room to house all the mugs ;))

A wall of mugs would solve it! 😌💕

Excellent choice. I think having several cups of coffee is a lot of fun. I also like big mugs...if they are for coffee, @honeydue

It is a very adorable mug, I love the little message on the edge of the mug. I actually wouldn't drink that much coffee in such a big cup, it seems to work better with tea.

I leave you a cup of coffee for this sunday.☕

untitled.gif

Thank you! Have a lovely Sunday!

The bear is awesome! But 400 ml would mean that I will have a pretty high coffee bill, if I fill it with coffee every day. 😁 The tea definitely fits better inside!

I thought so too! Happy Sunday!

What a beautiful cup, either coffee or tea I think it will be more fun to drink it in it. @honeydue

What a cool mug 🤗! Yes, I think it's ideal for a tea, although I wouldn't mind drinking mu coffee in there jeje. Very nice.

Hahaha... The old trick!
Truth is, your mug is lovely and I don't blame you for giving into temptation.
Even if it's big and your coffee looks really little when you pour it in there, you can always look at it and get in a good mood. Happy megacoffee, @honeydue

I don't know if I can talk about a new cup. The truth is that I have not used it. It was a gift last Christmas from my sister Sandra and my nephew Andres Manuel, a mug that reflects a motif I love: cats. I was very happy to receive it and I have it on my table.💗
It has many qualities that I like. It is pleasant to hold in your hands because of its texture, it is good for keeping warm and it is very pretty. However, I have not found occasion to use it because of its size, it is really big. So waiting to have a special coffee with my sisters, where we can have a homemade capuccino with cream or a coffee ice cream, time has passed.

When I got it as a gift it came with some delicious chocolate bonbons that I did eat in the next two days....
As you can see, my everyday cups are usually small for two reasons: not to overindulge and to feel like I have a full cup!

A beautiful cup of coffee, I really like kittens. The sweets were surely very delicious. A cup like this should be reserved for special occasions.

I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕untitled.gif

Thank you, @rinconpoetico7. My cat mug awaits that day! You will surely see it in some post!
Happy Sunday Coffee!

Those mugs were huge! I loved them as soon as I saw them. Mine was the witchy one, hehe. I have used mine several times for latte and tea. I had chicken soup there last time 😂

They are a good size for all that.👍💪 However, I want to use mine with some special coffee brewing.

I guess you'll treat me 😏

All your mugs are very nice, I like the small model best, although I usually drink coffee in a much larger one.

Beautiful mugs!

Oh, thank you! I also prefer them small for my morning coffee, which is usually strong.
Happy Coffees today!

Excellent Sunday conversation coffee lovers.

Today I come to participate in the new conversation of the week with lots of coffee and flavor.

It's really been a while since I've been gifted a cup, but I have gifted. The last one I gave was to my mother on Mother's Day this year. It was really something very special, I was looking for a small but nice gift. I was looking for so much, I didn't like anything and when I was about to give up, I saw it, it was like love at first sight. A little detail that would remind my mother how much I love her every time she drinks her black coffee without too much sugar.

The phrase on the mug says, "You're the best woman in the world, Thanks Mom.

That was my answer to the weekly conversation question. I'll keep reading you in the comments.

Great start to the week!

IMG_20240602_220607.jpg

It's a beautiful mug and a beautiful message. We may take our mothers for granted sometimes; mine played dolls with me and sewed little dresses for my barbies; that's how I started to learn to sew and to get interested in sewing, one of the hobbies that gives me the most happiness. She would've loved a special mug for her coffee, and I'm sure your mom loved the one you gave her, specially for the cute "thank you note"; loving mothers need to hear it ❤️

Happy Saturday to all coffee lovers ☕.

In my town it dawned raining, in fact I had a commitment to give some private math classes and I had to cancel because of the rain ⛈️, perfect weather for a good cup of coffee 🙂 although at this time I still haven't had any because my husband is asleep, last night we went to bed late in a church activity, and I like in the morning is the coffee that my husband prepares, so I'll keep waiting, hahaha.

I like glass or porcelain coffee mugs, but, there is a problem they break a lot 🤦 and I always have to buy again, right now I have a special mug that some high school students gave me, which is my favorite, I think the fact that they took the trouble to give me a mug is because there is some appreciation towards their teacher!

IMG_20240601_090646.jpg

Well I tell you that I was about to publish the comment, when my husband got up and made a delicious coffee ☕, hehehehe so, I already drank my first cup of the day, my cup has a capacity of about 400ml but, for coffee ☕ I use it almost half🤦, when it is coffee with milk I fill it a little more hehehehe.

Well that's my participation, see you in the comments 🙏

IMG_20240601_093741.jpg

A gift from our students is just great; most of the time, it shows that they care and that they feel grateful. It's a lovely mug, and if you fill it with lovely husband's coffee, it's priceless 💕

That's right my friend, it's a very precious cup🤗

Ultimately the best coffee ☕ for me is the one my husband makes 🙊.

Greetings and blessings 🙏

There are cups that have that special something that connects them with us and makes them our favorites when it comes to drinking coffee. A nice detail from your students to you.

I leave you a cup of coffee for this sunday.☕
untitled.gif

In those special cups the coffee is more delicious ☕.

Happy Sunday to you my friend 🙏

A cup of love, how romantic!
There should be a fairy tale about two lovers who, when they drank from the same cup of coffee and loved each other forever...
How nice to remember how your mug came into your hands every morning!

I think it's a good love story, but may they live happily ever after, not die like Romeo and Juliet, hehehehe.

By the way, I see a lot of Cabrera's around here 😊 Are we going to be family?

We have families of blood, families of taste and families of choice. I have family for coffee. You are invited! ☕️

Invitation accepted friend!

It's true, there are many families!

Greetings!

This is a gift with love @yessi08

That's right my friend, very special!

Greetings 🙏

What a beautiful mug your students gave you, it sure is a very special gift. And you can give it several uses, as it is quite large.

Beautiful gift!

That's right my friend, they are very special students, and I even use them to drink water! hahahaha

Greetings 🙏

Good morning, friends.

The last coffee mugs we bought was about ten months ago, we bought them especially to take pictures of ourselves for the @cinnccf community, hahahaha.

My husband, @irvinc, and I had been looking for two mugs that would fit our taste and requirements for more photo possibilities. So when they opened a new home goods store in a well known mall in town, we went looking for the mugs.

My husband liked the light brown one and wanted us to buy the same, but I am a little picky about it and my coffee mug is “my coffee mug”, I don't like that someone else uses it or doesn't have it available when I want to drink my tasty coffee, so I bought the dark-colored one. They are the same, but different, and I like that.

Happy week.

tazas 1.jpg

O! that was a noble goal for purchasing them. 😂

Believe me or not, once I found myself at a flea market standing with a cup in my hand.... and painfully thinking should I buy it (for taking pics purposes) or not. It was ridiculously cheap (like, 30 cents or so!) and was tiny and all pure white. Contras? I thought about little free space we already have at home. After 5 pins of standing and considering... I put it away and walk off. Ehehe.

We've done things for this community, haha, and for Hive in general. I knew I had seen those mugs before 😁

my coffee mug is “my coffee mug”, I don't like that someone else uses it or doesn't have it available when I want to drink my tasty coffee...

Totally agree!

untitled.gif

Before leaving the comment to @damarysvibra, I thought I will pass this one, as I dont have any new cup really; I use my current one for like 8-10 years and dont plan to change it. But then... I decided to show you the possible closest option I was near to obtain.
😜 Does that counts?

Once visiting a flea market, I stumbled upon this pad with coffee mugs. Somebody's collection? no I dont think so, probably some unsold stuff.

2023-aug-0964w-.jpg

'Not my cup of tea' as they say. But still, I made a stop looking at it - and then suddenly notice this one, simple minimalistic Japanese-style.

2023-aug-0965w-.jpg

It was ridiculously cheap (like, 30 cents or so!) tiny and all pure white. Contras? I thought about how little free room we already have at home. After 5 pins of standing and painfully considering pro and contras... I found the strength to reject the shopping appeal, put it away and walk off. Ehehe. It takes even more beautiful pottery to convince me to bring it home!

Although I only like the cup with the piggy on it, I must say the photo is beautiful and makes the cups so appealing that for a second I felt like I would've bought that box of cups!

I think I would've come home with that Japanese mug, even if I don't have room for more.

I still not sure if my decision was right or wrong. Probably wrong, that cap almost asked me to find a new home for it... ☘️
