Wake Up and Coffee

@JCMx800:

I think a Fire King MIJ should be the only choice. Would fit perfect into your portfolio.

It lacks the over engineered and perfection of a diner mug. I'd buy either, but I wouldn't use a Fire King MIJ, they're WAY too small. (I do collect a bit of Fire King tho ::) )

Morning.

an artist series Yixing clay coffee/tea mug would be great too.

@Giles:

Yes - IH-MUG

Great news I will order some IH-mugs. Just let Me know when.

I think a really hefty diner mug would be a better fit for Iron Heart. There was an article that I read not long ago about a scientist who studies the influence that packaging or appearance can have on our enjoyment of food. It mentioned a study that showed people thought the flavor of coffee was better, stronger, and more robust out of a white mug vs. a clear glass one.

That's really interesting, but the perception effect probably explains why people insist drinking coffee out of their favorite mugs. I've witnessed household and workplace meltdowns over mug misappropriation.

The "diner mug" has definite nostalgic appeal for me. Growing up on suburban Long Island (NY), I spent a lot of time at diners. Breakfast with the family, late night with friends (especially after over-indulging at the bar), or anytime you were with a group who couldn't decide on what to eat.  Regardless of the specific diner, the "diner mug" was a constant.

Dig the green flannel.

PS didn't say hello back to you @sabergirl for the other day. Hello! Hope the dog sitting is going well. Nice shirt ::)

[sabergirl]

Thanks! Lots of cozy flannel weather, of late. Nice to see you around a bit, @Snowy.

not the best coffee but definitely my best mug

Damn, Snowy you've been busy! Good looking next level stuff you've been brewing there. I've actually gone the opposite direction. I bought a can of cheap stuff to see how good I can get it with my aeropress and v60. I don't want to keep blowing $ on high dollar beans and only getting the results I want 40% of the time. Hopefully soon I'll get there! Also, what's a decent compact hand grinder than wont blow the budget? (<$75?)?

Finn, quite a pretty cup of coffee there. That mug is [emoji109][emoji109][emoji109]
