Have you got a favourite mug? This is one of mine.
Do share your favourite mug - photo or description - I find mugs fascinating
Mine's the one with a thick, dark, crust of tannin and coffee solids on the inside, and dried-on tea/coffee slicks and dribbles down the outside (I have still to learn how to drink out of a cup properly without getting it down my chin!) I always arrange for en-suite hot drinks in my "man cave" wherever I live, and I can easily go for months without ever thinking to take my mug with me when I go downstairs to do the washing up!
I picked this up on my last visit to Pandora - it fits in my hand perfectly and holds just the right amount of tea.
I find not washing a cup between cuppas makes for a far more satisfying drink
In the days when all cups of tea were made in a tea pot, there were many who were of the belief that a teapot should never be washed. Tea itself has anti-germ properties, and this together with the fact that boiling water is required to make a cup of tea ensures that there is little chance of nasty germs in th tea (well at least that is what I have convinced myself!)
Snap with the state of cup, I make four in one go! One ceramic, two keep hot with fixed lids, they stay hot eight hours, really hot , and one thermos open top sipper style. Saves keep boiling the kettle, always at hand, I wake up to a hot drink every morning from a stay hot cup. I work outside so have had flasks all my working life,
Love it! Good to know I'm not the only dribbler. I belong to the Quentin Crisp school of housework (no need to do any cleaning because after the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse). I married a clean and tidy person though, hence my pristine mug!
A Lem-Sip will magically make your mug like new again.
