WAKE UP AND COFFEE

[Peter]

Nostalgic Americana it is.. I'm totally gonna get an IH one though! They're gonna sell well.

@JCMx800:

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

But they will be searingly expensive….

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 ::) )

[mikebarhoot]

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

@Giles:

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.

Expos mug from the 70's. A giveaway from when they played at Jarry Park. My folks got it at a game when they were still dating

@deanclean Great Expos mug. Never made it to Jarry Park. Did see a Stanley Cup Hockey game at the Forum.
