      Diner mugs, looks like we can probably do a small run @ https://www.espressoparts.com/diner-mug-creamy-white with a custom logo (espressoparts are very well trusted in the industry BTW).

      I wouldn't want to ship to Australia and back to US/EU again…anyone interested in running, even if unofficial? ::)

      I'm in.

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

                  Do people actually like drinking from diner mugs? I think they look really cool, but I'd rather just look at them..

                  Yes. And the fact that most of the really top end coffee shops use them as well points to the quality of the vessel. Like the right wine glass brings out the best tastes, dinner mugs are similar for coffee..

                  I know and understand the science behind the correct wine + wine glass, and beer + beer glass for that matter. Although I really can't stand big wine glasses, even if they're "correct". What's the deal with the diner mugs? Honest question. You don't see them here in Sweden at all, and we drink shitloads of coffee. Never seen them for tastings either. To me they're just way too bulky. They look really cool though!

                          I'm not really sure if they make coffee better like wine glasses, they just seem to taste better to me, probably similar to the the right wine glasses. It could be the ceramic keeping the coffee cooling at a better/correct rate, the thickness of the mug wall allowing the pallet to open up correctly for coffee. The handles are spot on, have a great heft, hold a great amount of coffee, and are fairly indestructible too.

                                  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 ::) )

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