That a really fantastic photo.

That’s probably because I was attempting to imitate the style of @Pàdruig’s excellent photos for this thread.

It's a dead ringer of his work... well done.

I've never posted a good photo of my favorite mug in this thread, and forgot about it until very recently when my wife told me I was no longer allowed to use my favorite mug year-round "because it's really a winter mug."
So here's the mug that I thought was my "forever favorite mug":


I've been experimenting for almost a month, trying to determine what should be my warm weather replacement mug. This is my current favorite, a freebie from an insurance agent (Meemic = Michigan Educational Employees Insurance Company (or Corporation or Cooperative)):

My lady uses a winter mug and a spring Peter Rabbit mug year round. Stand your ground

First timing seeing this thread…I do a lot of coffee shots, always using one of the 6 or 7 glass globes I own. I think they were free from Nescafé or something back in 70s. My wife and I got them from my mom close to 20 years ago when I found they are perfect for my espressos. I usually make a triple (we have an honest to goodness commercial grade espresso machine) and the color of the natural crèma just works w/ bone covered knives, especially white or brown ones IMHO.

Cool thread. I have as hard a time picking a mug as I do knives. These are just the ones at work as I have a few more at home

The only one of these that exists. Made by a talented ceramics artist at Ceramics Below Sea Level (check out the website). Oh yeah, she just happens to be my daughter.

Favorite coffee mug (birthday gift from my oldest daughter about a decade back) and one of my regular EDC pocketknives. Enjoying a hot mug after a cool morning of fishing. OH
