What shape?

 

[Orang Utan]

Room for a spin-off 'How many mugs & cups do you have at work?' thread.

Might as well just incorporate it within this thread.

Nah.

 

[Orang Utan]

Nah.

The op doesn't mention home - it just asks how many you own, so this would include ones you have at work.

This is true, but surely people don't have loads of their own mugs at work? 1 maybe?

Indeed, so might as well be talked about on this thread too.

 

[coley]

Is this count just for cups and mugs in general use,or the total number held by each poster?

 

[quimcunx]

About 18. 3 of them in regular use as they are considered to be the correct size for most of my hot beverage desires. I will use some of the others if I
a) decide I want a larger serving of hot beverage
b) decide I want a smaller serving of hot beverage or
c) can't be arsed washing even one of the 3 favoured mugs.

 

[pogo 10]

Three cups, binned a load of kitchen stuff the other week as dont want to hoard stuff while im in temporary accomodation, even though ive been here for a year nearly.

 

[kittyP]

I think all in all we have more than 30.
We both use the same mugs ever day though

Oh actually I use a different mug for peppermint tea and a different one for coffee but I don't have those that often.

 

[stavros]

None, but then I don't drink tea, coffee or any other hot drink.

 

[BoatieBird]

We have 18 + 2 travel mugs.
We also have 4 in the caravan.

 

[Treacle Toes]

NOT. ENOUGH. PICS.

 

[dessiato]

4 coffee cups, 4 coffee glasses, 6 mugs. Its more than enough for us. Tea is served in the mugs.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

30....and we are in the process of sending another half dozen or so to the charity shop

 

[QueenOfGoths]

And here they are!

11, but 2 (the black and white ones) came with the room so technically only 9. 2 are teacups (the big yellow one and the one next to it) and one I only use to make salad dressings (the small yellow one ). The yellow tea mug is my favourite.

 

[8115]

Also, this is an optimum number as I never run out but sometimes get close to running out. I have a fresh mug for each cup, and sometimes don't do the washing up for a day or two.

I am prepared to answer this question on the aforementioned "How many cups & mugs do you have at work?" thread, once Orang Utan starts it.

 

[coley]

We need some clarification here, do posh cups for visitors
Or just the everyday ones

 

[Treacle Toes]

I love multiple upside down pics

I love multiple upside down pics

I like to make people work for their pleasures

 

[moomoo]

Is it just me that insists on a China cup for tea? And who will only drunk out of mugs that are white inside?

 

[Ranbay]

Only one, i use it every day.....

 

[Mogden]

This is most of my collection. I do have a stray couple in the sideboard too, including espresso cups, but I'm actually okay at not acquiring oodles of mugs. Arranged for the purposes of the picture, hence the sideways saucer. You can see my duplicate avatar mugs there. I use the jumbo ones for tea, the Cath Kidston for hot chocolate, the smaller, for that read normal size mugs, for coffee and my twee cups for hot water and lemon or green tea.

Rutita1 I have to confess I know what that blue and white flowery Wetherspoons pattern is or what it's based on. It's Burleigh and I have Burleigh saucers but I couldn't say I knew as I was already up on the geek scale

 

[Shirl]

I can't believe I just went and counted

15 x mugs
6 x espresso coffee cups and saucers
7 x espresso cups that don't come with saucers
3 x camping coffee mugs that you brew in the mug

I like a decent build up of tannin but I did buy denture tablets today to make sure mine don't get too manky. I like the idea of pure white but it doesn't taste as deep.

Oh and I'm geeking about the china. I have seen some Cath Kidston and Emma Bridgewater so far and I'm sure there's plenty more I could work out [emoji14]

I only have tea and coffee in china mugs.(apart from camping) Always white but some have a pattern or picture on.

All mugs should be white inside, unless you don't wash them.

The boss likes her china,Iprefer a plain mug with a nice brown stain inside though she insists on bleaching it now and again.
